Chapter 408

at point, the match had reached a deciding set. Qi Lin and her opponent were tied, meaning whoever made the first move would be the winner. She nervously pinched herself in the leg.She didn't feel an...But Fu Yan underestimated Huo Mingzheng.

Ho Mingzheng stripped her of her clothes, quickly gave her a bath, carefully dried her with a towel, and then wrapped her in a dry bathrobe. He carried her out of the bathroom and gently placed her on the bed.

He propped himself up on either side of her, looking down at her face flushed by the heat. "Be good," he murmured, "once you're better, I'll take you to Guangcheng."

A flicker of emotion passed through Fu Yan's eyes.

She looked away, "I can't keep myself healthy here."

"Besides here, let's not talk about other places." Huo Mingzheng didn't give her any room for discussion.

He stood up to leave, but Fu Yan suddenly called out to him.

"Where's my phone"

"If you perform well, I'll give it back to you."

Huo Mingzheng walked out of the bedroom and gently closed the door.

He walked toward the study, and Cao Fang had already organized the documents that needed to be processed.

Ho Mingzheng casually opened a document, sitting in the large armchair. After a while, Cao Fang brought him a cup of coffee and placed it on his left hand side.

"You've worked hard too, go rest with Cao Yuan."

Cao Fang shook his head. "I'm not tired, it's you who hasn't rested well. Even an iron body can't take this..."

"I have my own measure," Huo Mingzheng interrupted him.

Cao Fang recalled something. "Dr. Xiao just found me and asked if she still needed to stay here,"

Ho Mingzheng glanced at the calendar. Tomorrow was New Year's Eve. He had heard from Qin Heng that Xiaoyi's parents had passed away, and she only had an elderly grandmother living in their hometown. He probably wanted to go back to spend the New Year with her elderly relative.

He knows his own situation best. With Fu Yan by his side, everything will get better.

"Let her go. Pay her triple the original amount."

Cao Fang nodded.

Before he left, he heard Huo Mingzheng say: "Have the New Year's money for the servants at the mansion and here been prepared"

Cao Fang nodded. "Luo Shu is already prepared, and I'll send him to the old house tomorrow."

After finishing his response, Cao Fang quietly closed the study door.

Actually, the Huo family didn't have the custom of giving red envelopes to servants before. They only gave their servants three times their salary at the end of the last month of the year.

After Huo Mingzheng took charge, in addition to tripling the wages, on New Year's Eve, he also gave red envelopes to every servant and even the younger generation of the Huo family.

Though they call themselves juniors, they are actually cousins of Huo Mingzheng.

Before, Cao Fang boldly guessed why Huo Zong would suddenly give everyone red envelopes.

Later on, he accidentally peeked into Mr. Huo's secret and suddenly realized everything.

The sky has gradually brightened.

After processing several documents, Huo Mingzheng leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

His gaze fell on the drawer in the middle.

He slowly pulled open the drawer. Right in the center lay a brand new red envelope.

......

When Huo Yuan arrived at Huo's manor, it was already past five o'clock.

Early in the morning, the servants got up one after another. Someone saw him at first and didn't recognize him. He was the butler, wearing a wig and reading glasses, and someone thought they were seeing things wrong and stood there for a few seconds.

"Well, Young Master is back!"enched tightly. She was unconsciously tense to the point that her fingers were white.For Fu Jing 。His voice that day, firm and unwavering, echoed in my mind — I like her. 。"Why am I making trouble fo...
