e nurse immediately gave her medicine to bring down her fever and then drew a blood sample for a routine blood test. The results came back quickly, indicating a bacterial infection.The doctor prescrib...Fu Yan went to the first floor lobby to pick up her medicine, and returned to the car, sighing with relief.

She took out her phone to call Ji Lin, planning to invite him for a meal. She craved company right now.

After the phone call connected, Ji Lin said, “My family has arrived. I can't leave.”

"Ok."

Ji Linhu asked doubtfully, "Is there something wrong"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt like treating you to a meal. Tomorrow" She feigned nonchalance.

Ji Lin's voice held a hint of impatience: "Tomorrow won't work either, the coach and teammates are all coming back tomorrow, I have to pick them up. Just tell me what times you picked out. Keep track of it, when I have time, you can treat me to a meal."

The phone in her hand buzzed with a series of interrupted beeps. She glanced at it, the caller ID displaying Huo Mingzheng’s name.

She unconsciously clenched her phone, held her breath for a moment, and said to Ji Lin, "You go busy yourself, I have made an appointment with someone else."

After she hung up, she received a call from Huo Mingzheng.

"Who were you just talking to on the phone"

"It's Ji Lin," Fu Yan replied, "Men have too much desire for control."

Huo Mingzheng was silent for two seconds, "Unmarried men and unmarried women, don't have frequent contact with him."

Fu Yan looked at the blue sky outside the window, took a deep breath, and her phone rang with the sound of car horns. Her heart skipped a beat, "You're back"

Before, he said he would be back tomorrow, but Huo Mingzheng often came back early from business trips in the past, and he never exceeded the scheduled time.

A man hummed softly, his voice low: "Be at the Imperial Garden One in half an hour. Come over."

After hanging up the phone, Fu Yan sat in the car, rolled down the window and let the wind blow for a while before starting the car to head to Haoting Yipin district. At the 24-hour convenience store near the district, she bought two boxes of condoms.

The car drove into the underground garage. A car in front of it had its hazard lights on. She looked closely and saw that it was Huo Mingzheng's car.

After the car turned off, she stuffed two boxes of condoms into her bag. Holding the medicine prescribed by the doctor in her hand, she walked toward Huo Mingzheng's car.

Cao Fang pulled open the car door, and Huo Mingzheng stepped out with long strides. He was dressed impeccably, with an air of natural nobility about his brow and eyes. There wasn't a trace of travel weariness on him, one couldn't tell if he had just returned or had been back for a while.

His tall figure stood before her, his voice low and grave: "So soon"

She remained composed, saying, "I was just outside."

He handed his coat to Cao Fang, took her hand, her fingers were icy cold and her palm was damp with sweat. His large palm clasped hers tightly.

I didn't see what she was carrying until I got into the elevator.

The bag said People's Hospital.

He frowned. "Are you sick"

Fu Yan clenched the bag tightly and calmly said, "I have endocrine disorders. I went to the doctor and got some medicine to adjust it."

"Endocrine disorders"

"Well," she nodded, looking into Huo Mingzheng's eyes, and said frankly, "My period is irregular, I was worried it might be pregnancy before, luckily the check-up showed it wasn't."

Both Cao Fang and Cao Yuan were stunned for a moment, then immediately lowered their heads without changing their expressions.

Huo Mingzheng paused, his hand wrapping around hers. His expression was cold and sharp, but Fu Yan kept her gaze locked on his, not missing the fleeting darkness that crossed his eyes for a moment. further and put the book back down. Her fingertips traced across the rows of books until she found one she could accept: "Love During the Cholera Years."I wouldn't have expected to find this book in...
