Chapter 394

ement was light and slow, finally pulling his hand away.She got out of bed, sat on the edge for a moment, then got up and went to the dressing room. She put on a robe at random.Walking barefoot into t...Faced with Huo Mingzheng's question, Li Qin's thin body trembled uncontrollably.

It was like an invisible hand was choking her, squeezing her throat so she couldn't speak or breathe. She could only tremble instinctively in resistance.

"It's Fu Yan." The man's voice was flat and matter-of-fact, without a hint of question.

Li Qin's breath suddenly sank, "No..."

Faced with the man's cold, piercing black eyes, she felt her throat tighten and her eyes welled up. Her body trembled even more violently.

He had anticipated this, deliberately weakening her defenses layer by layer, leaving her unable to defend herself. She bore the relentless pressure he exerted on her, with no power to fight back.

This is the man she has loved for so many years, he's relentless and shows no affection at all.

She still held her lips tightly pursed, a look of defiance on her face as she stared out the window at the drizzle.

As long as she doesn't admit it and doesn't speak up, Azheng won't do anything to her.

Moreover, she did nothing wrong, so they can't convict her.

She never did anything to hurt Yao throughout their whole relationship.

"Did I poison Yan Shao" She retracted her gaze after a moment, glanced at Huo Mingzheng, then feigned grievance and bit her lip.

"If I poisoned her, you can question me. Her miscarriage has nothing to do with me. You have no evidence, you only rely on your own speculation to conclude that I poisoned her, Azheng, how can you make me submit to this"

She chuckled wryly, shaking her head.

Huo Mingzheng's eyes were cold. "Do you want to accept this willingly"

Li Qin's fingers clenched tightly, her strength gradually returning, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

"You knew she was pregnant, when Kevin suggested swapping with you, you intentionally revealed her pregnancy to totally expose her. You wanted to use Kevin's hand to get rid of her."

She suddenly raised her head, stammering an explanation: "I was scared, my mind wasn't clear..."

With a splash, the glass of water on Huo Mingzheng's bedside table was picked up and unceremoniously splashed onto Li Qin's face.

She was choked and coughed uncontrollably, coughing hard with tears and water streaming down her face, but her complexion grew whiter and whiter.

"Are you awake now"

Tears rolled down her eyelashes, blurring her vision which gradually came into focus. What she saw was Huo Mingzheng's face, frosted with cold.

She looked at Huo Mingzheng in disbelief. He had never intended to give her water from the start.

He spoke slowly, his voice cold and low. “What are you and grandfather plotting to do with Fu Yan Do you think I don’t know anything”

She wanted to deny it, but she found she couldn't utter a sound. His eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth. He appeared calm, yet the unrestrained ferocity in his gaze sent shivers down her spine.

He's still the same as he was when he was ill.

He is not alright at all.

Her mind was a mess, like balls of yarn scattered on the floor, tangled together. She desperately tried to find one end of the yarn, pulling it out constantly, trying to make sense of what it all was.

Finally, she realized and confirmed her initial guess, her eyes filled with tears, "You lied to me..."

You pretend that I have soothed your emotions and you're no longer bothered by the affair with Yan, but in reality, you're not fine at all. You're afraid of what Old Master Huo might do to Yan, so you're willing to put on a show!

"That's right."

The man spoke two words with a blank expression, like an ice blade piercing her heart!

She thought she had saved him again, but in the end it was just her own illusion.

Her eyes trembled, her eye sockets were hot with tears, yet the tears rolled down her cheeks icily. She choked out a question: "Am I just a pawn you used"

Ho Mingzheng threw the water cup onto the bedside table. "Your grandfather agreed to your benefits, but he only did it to ensure you could smoothly marry into the Huo family. Do you think he would actually let you marry in That was just a tool he used to pressure me. If you hadn't agreed, I wouldn't have been able to go along with it."

"It's your own choice, don't blame others."

That's your own choice, no wonder others think so.

Li Qin's heart ached, "Then what about your choice You promised me back then that you would agree to my three requests, and I used the last one to make you marry me. Will you go back on your word"

After she fell asleep, the nurse dimmed the lights deliberately. Even though it was nearly dawn, the light in the room wasn't very bright. Huo Mingzheng stood in a spot where half of his body was shrouded in darkness. His expression was unclear, but it sent a shiver down one's spine.

Are you really wanting to marry me, or are you wanting to marry into the Huo family

Li Qin almost bit the inside of her lips, “What’s the difference”

Huo Mingzheng let out a low chuckle. He took a step forward, his impeccable features displaying an undeniable coldness. His aura was different from before; he now resembled a madman through and through.the table. "Where is Li Qin"The butler replied, "She also went to Zurich, but she didn't return with the second young master. Apparently, she was injured.""Can't get in touch with her"The housekeeper...
