have plenty of ways to make your life miserable in Nancheng.""Fu Yan said smoothly, 'General Shen's family is indeed impressive with its grand scale and business.'"Saying that, she grasped Shen Wei's...The waiters continuously served the dishes.

"I ordered all your favorite dishes, how is it Am I spoiling you" Xia smiled sweetly at Fu Yan, her expression like she was taking credit.

Fu Yan was amused by her. She picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of the closest glutinous pork.

"How was it" Xia Xia looked at her expectantly, hoping to see surprise in her expression. Instead, Fu Yan frowned slightly.

"Doesn't it taste good"

Fu Yan shook her head, surprisingly saying, "No, I rarely get to eat glutinous pork that suits my taste so well. The ones I've eaten before were either too sweet or the meat was too tough. This one is just right, especially the sweetness. It seems like it was tailored for me. It's really delicious."

Little Xia let out a quiet sigh of relief. She just knew it, the mighty...

She hastily picked up her teacup, strategically sipping water to conceal the expression on her face and prevent Fu Yan from noticing anything amiss.

But this time she wasn't lying. This private kitchen was indeed the one she and Yuan Cao ate at last Saturday.

Cao Yuan asked her what she wanted to eat. At that moment, all she could think about was Cao Yuan inviting her out for a meal. Could he be trying to ask her out Her mind was in a fog, so she randomly pointed to a private kitchen outside the window.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be Guangcheng cuisine, and the taste was quite good. She thought to herself that she would bring Fu Yan over to try it if she had the chance in the future.

Throughout the entire meal, she only focused on eating and forgot to ask Cao Yuan if he was interested in her. Cao Yuan didn't say a word extra, he waved his hand to order dishes, waved his hand to pay the bill, and waved his hand to send her home......

It wasn't until she got home that she regretted her lovestruck mind being defeated by her foodie brain, realizing she had forgotten to ask such an important question.

Last night, Cao Yuan suddenly called her. The moment she answered the phone, her heart started racing at a hundred and twenty beats per minute, fearing that Cao Yuan might say something "inappropriate."

However, Cao Yuan asked her to do him a favor.

At that moment, she suddenly realized that Cao Yuan's invitation to dinner on the weekend must have been for this very reason. To be honest, she felt quite pathetic at the time and questioned Cao Yuan if he was playing with her.

Cao Yuan's original words were: "I really want to treat you to a meal, and I also really need your help."

She was baffled, but Cao Yuan's task was simple: take Fu Yan to the private restaurant they had all gone to on Saturday.

Beware of scams, she still asked another question, "Wouldn't there be an ambush"

"Yes," Cao Yuan replied crisply, "it's Mr. Huo."

But Cao Yuan hoped she could keep it a secret.

Xia Xia was conflicted. Last time, she had lied to Fu Yan, and telling the truth felt too painful. Fu Yan treated her as a true friend, yet she colluded with others to hide things from her. Although what she did was for Fu Yan's sake, she still felt guilty.

>Especially Huo Mingzheng has a criminal record, what if he confines Fu Yan again

"I refuse," she said without hesitation.

"Why" Cao Yuan still had the face to ask her why.

Xia Xia snorted coldly and said seriously, "What you did to Yan Jie, you know in your heart."

Although Cao Yuan might seem like a straight man with low emotional intelligence, he's actually quite clever and quickly understood the situation. "Mr. Huo wouldn't do anything to hurt Miss Fu again," he said confidently, "I swear my life on it."

This guarantee is too heavy, it's making Xia feel suffocated. Is it really necessary to be this serious

This dead straight man is really loyal!

"I don't want to deceive her." Her attitude was clearly less firm than before, and her resolve began to waver.

On the other end of the phone, Cao Yuan fell silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice: "Tomorrow is Mr. Huo's birthday, you can just fulfill one of his birthday wishes." distance between them, but not too closely.Fu Yan's body stiffened, the soft handkerchief gently brushing across her forehead."Fu Yan, my grandfather really likes you."A man's breath brushed lightly...
