As Huo Lianqing was sleeping soundly, she felt someone shaking her. She reluctantly opened her eyes and a handsome face appeared in front of her.

"Lianqing, take off your clothes and sleep later." It was only then that Huo Lianqing realized that she was still wearing that dress. No wonder she felt uncomfortable all over while she was sleeping. Despite how bright and beautiful the dress was, it was her own body that was suffering. She was tightly tied to the waist, making it difficult for her to even breathe.

Huo Lianqing immediately sat up with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

"Do you want me to help you?" Her voice was extremely charming and full of magic. Huo Lianqing trembled. This was the nature of a wolf.

"What are you thinking about?" As he said that, he carried Huo Lianqing in his arms and carried her to the bathroom. Huo Lianqing felt all the hair on her body stand up. He carried her into the bathroom and, without doing anything, kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"Rest early. See you tomorrow." His voice was a little hoarse. Huo Lianqing shook her head, feeling that she had misheard him.

"Good night." Huo Lianqing barely managed to keep her eyes closed as she spoke. An Bowen turned around and left. Huo Lianqing immediately lay down on the washstand to take a nap. However, the sudden coldness caused her to wake up.

Huo Lianqing quickly took off her clothes and took a comfortable bath. She slept all the way until noon. Despite this, she still felt tired from yesterday, so she changed her clothes and went downstairs. Ambowen had already left for work, and downstairs, she could see the shadows of the servants moving around.

Huo Lianqing walked into the restaurant. The breakfast was still on the table, along with the milk bread and jam. Aunt Wang followed her in.

"Miss Huo, I'll prepare another breakfast for you."

"No need, I'm going out after eating. "Go back to your work!"

Huo Lianqing was in a good mood today. She prepared to go out for a walk later. She changed into a comfortable set of clothes and left. When she reached the door, she felt that someone was following behind her. Huo Lianqing looked back, but didn't see anything. Even when they were taking a taxi, Huo Lianqing still felt that there were two pairs of eyes watching her from behind.

After getting off the car and entering the shopping mall, someone ran over with a camera and a microphone in his hand. Huo Lianqing was stunned. She looked to her left and right to see that there was no one around her.

"You all …"

"You must be Miss Huo. Are you Mr. An's girlfriend now?" You were seen coming out of Mr. An's villa. Are you living together now? "Why did someone at the An clan's annual wine party say that you're Young Master Zhou's girlfriend?"

"Can I ask if the three of you are in a triangular relationship?"

"Are you and Ann always going to get engaged?" "It's better to just play around. You two have been together for a long time, living together for a long time."

"Someone said that you are the mistress of Director An, is that it?"

All the cameras were focused on Huo Lianqing, and all the microphones were focused on her. Huo Lianqing could only feel her head buzzing, and could only see countless faces moving before her eyes. After an unknown amount of time, Huo Lianqing finally squeezed out of the crowd and hid in a corner to make a phone call. She originally wanted to give a call to An Bowen.

But then he thought, how could he go back under such circumstances? The villa must have been surrounded by reporters. After rummaging for a long time, they found a friend's number and went straight there. Huo Lianqing felt that she should disappear for a period of time as well. This way, the rumors would gradually fade away.

When Huo Lianqing appeared in front of her good friend's door, she looked extremely miserable. Her clothes were all ripped and wrinkled, and her hair was loose. She had also lost a pair of earrings.

"Lianqing, what happened to you?"

"Don't mention it. Hurry up and prepare me a set of clothes. I'm so tired!"

When the people in the company found the video of Huo Lianqing interviewing them online, he frowned as he looked at that rather unclear and shaking scene, which was mixed with the hubbub of people. In the middle of the camera, Huo Lianqing was surrounded by a large group of people. She had an expression of shock that had never appeared on her face before.

"Secretary Li, come in for a moment." He turned off the video and clicked on the intercom.

"Director An, what can I do for you?" The secretary had probably also seen that video, which was why she had a vague feeling that Umbo was going to ask her to do something.

"Go and bring me the list of everyone you invited to the party last night. Also, ask manager Zhang to come and see me." An Bowen's tone was calm, as if he was speaking in a casual manner.

"Alright, Director An."

In a while, Director Zhang knocked on the door and entered.

"Director An, you were looking for me?"

Umbo nodded.

"Did you see the video online? Do you know what to do? I don't want to see any more of these things. " An Bowen slightly frowned. He knew that someone must have arranged this matter on purpose. Otherwise, those lackeys would never have found his villa.

After giving orders, she remembered to call Huo Lianqing. However, Aunt Wang said that Huo Lianqing had gone out and hadn't come back yet. An Bowen's heart tightened slightly. This was the first time he called Huo Lianqing, but a gentle and courteous female voice came from the other end.

"Sorry, the user you have dialed has been shut down." An Bowen frowned as she thought about it. With Huo Ruqing's personality, she definitely wouldn't turn off her phone and run away because of such a small matter. But her phone really did turn off. Did something happen?

Huo Lianqing's phone was still turned off at night. When Ann Bowen returned home from work that night, Huo Lianqing still hadn't come back. An Bowen called Huo Lianqing's cell phone twice more, but it was still turned off. Just as he was feeling depressed, a call suddenly came in.

"It's me." Huo Lianqing's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Where are you?" He asked her directly where she was.

"I'm at my friend's house. I'll be back in a few days." Then he hung up.

After a few times of feeding the phone, a voice came from the other end of the line. The phone beeped and he slammed the phone onto the sofa. Madam Wang stood behind him, watching as he was driven mad. He didn't know what had happened. However, she knew that Huo Lianqing had disappeared. When she saw the angry look on An Bowen's face, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for Huo Lianqing.

He sat on the sofa for a while, made a few more calls, and then went out with his car keys. An Bowen called the phone that had just called him, but even if he died, his phone was still turned off.

Just as Huo Lianqing was about to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me!" Huo Lianqing jumped up from the sofa. She actually let him find her here.

"Open the door and follow me home!"

Huo Lianqing's friend was also startled. When she heard a man's voice, she revealed a mischievous smile.

"So you were angry with your boyfriend and ran away from home. Hurry up and go back, they've already found this place. "Hurry up …" Huo Lianqing shook her head vigorously. After leaving this door, she would still be followed by those puppies tomorrow. She might even be secretly photographed. She didn't want her photos and private life to be posted online, but by then the door had already opened and a tall figure was standing in front of her.

"You … "Why are you here?" Huo Lianqing was obviously lacking in confidence.

"Come home with me!" It was just a few simple words, but Huo Lianqing could already feel that he was angry.

"I won't!" Huo Lianqing was still stubbornly resisting.

"Come home with me!" After saying it a second time, before Huo Lianqing could react, An Bowen had already walked over and lifted Huo Lianqing up. Huo Lianqing struggled violently.

"If you resist again and you want to stay here, I'll immediately raze this place to the ground!" Huo Lianqing instantly quietened down.
