Chapter 574

he office area. Turning back, a smile gradually froze on his face as he glanced at the descending elevator numbers, then looked away.A woman looking at another woman is always right.From the day Shen...After getting into the car, she subconsciously glanced at Huo Mingzheng's lips.

It's been a few days, the cut on my lip has scabbed over and fallen off, leaving only a faint pink mark.

He has fair skin and his lip color is not very pronounced.

Huo Mingzheng looked at her with deep eyes and said in a low voice, "It's okay."

I didn't ask you.

"Well, I wanted to tell you myself."

"Seeing the handsome face of Huo Mingzheng, Fu Yan immediately withdrew her gaze, clutched her bag tightly, and asked quickly, "You said you wanted to talk to me about Ji Lin, didn't you What happened to him"

This section has the worst lighting in the basement. Huo Mingzheng's half face was in the gloom, with a sense of despondency spreading.

He lightly opened his thin lips, his voice hoarse: "Ji Lin's hand can't participate in the competition."

Fu Yan felt a chill run down her spine. She opened her mouth, as if she understood, but also as if she understood nothing. A jumbled mess of sounds echoed in her head.

"I invited an expert from abroad to work with Qin Heng, and the results were out an hour ago. They are the same as the results Qin Heng checked two days ago."

Fu Yan was dazed for a while, "Does Ji Lin know"

Huo Mingzheng looked into her eyes, "After the results came out, Qin Heng had already told him."

The car drove out of the underground parking garage of the Fangxin Building.

Sunlight, orange and yellow in hue, streamed through the gaps between tall buildings. It landed on Fu Yan's fair and delicate face. Her eyes sparkled, then glistening tears welled up.

She took a deep breath, forcing back her tears. She pulled out her phone from her bag. The screen was blank, with no calls or WeChat messages.

Ji Lin already knew, but he didn't tell her.

He was afraid she would be sad and worry too much, but he was the saddest one of all.

She wanted to call Ji Lin, but she didn't know what to say. Besides, she was sure that if she called, Ji Lin wouldn't answer.

He probably won't answer any calls right now.

A warm, dry hand rested on the back of her hand.

She was jolted, her hand trembling. Huo Mingzheng's gentle yet powerful voice filled her ears, "I'll take you to see him right away."

Fu Yan's back of her hand was very cold, as if she had walked through ice and snow. Huo Mingzheng couldn't help but wrap her hand in his palm.

"Didn't you know two days ago"

Fu Yan's voice was hoarse and rough. She didn't move, nor did she pull her hand away. It wasn't that she was willing to let Huo Mingzheng hold her hand like this.

But she didn't know what to do. She was numb, her mind blank.

"Hmm." Huo Mingzheng's Adam's apple bobbed, his grip tightening on Fu Yan, "I bet there's still a glimmer of hope. I want to wait for the results before telling you all."

After a long silence, Fu Yancai nodded slightly, moved her body, and withdrew her hand from Huo Mingzheng's palm.

"Thank you, for not letting Ji Lin's heart be hurt again. You did the right thing, thank you."

She was so polite and distant, though she said she understood him. Her attitude had completely changed from before.

Huo Mingzheng's breath hitched, "Yanyan, you don't have to do this."

"As it should be."

Fu Yan turned her head to look at the bustling traffic outside the car window. The last ray of sunlight from the horizon disappeared, and the city's neon lights gradually lit up. However, her eyes were filled with a blurry tearlight.

Ji Lin can no longer compete. His dream has been shattered.

He wouldn't settle for anything less than seeing his dreams come true, after all the sweat he poured into them.

She knew it wasn't Huo Mingzheng's fault.

Is there really no profound stroke of genius from Huo Mingzheng in the cycle of cause and effect

In the same way, could she not also be involved

If she hadn't insisted on loving Huo Mingzheng in the first place, and had listened to Ji Lin's advice to break free sooner, would Ji Lin have suffered this calamity

If all this is to be attributed to cause and effect.

She was convicted along with Huo Mingzheng.

......

When Fu Yan arrived at the hospital, Ji Qing just walked out of the ward. At the moment the door closed, her usually composed face was filled with concern.r for Huo Mingzheng.He lifted her up, pulling apart her tightly clenched lips. Her bottom lip was bleeding from being bitten, and he wiped it clean with a piece of paper.Fu Yan's consciousness gradual...
