huo xiwen looked at the cake in front of her. although she had no appet.i.te, she still managed to taste it.

"is it delicious?" fu mujun asked.

huo xiwen nodded, "yes, it's delicious."

at this time, fu mujun walked to the seat opposite her and sat down. he watched her eat the cake with a smile across the table.

huo xiwen took two bites and found him staring at her. "where's your steak and cake? "don't you want to eat?"

"before you came, i had been trying to do it. many of the failed works had entered my stomach, so i was already full." fu mujun said.

hearing this, huo xiwen's expression turned slightly surprised: "you called me over just to cook for me?"

"are you very touched?" fu mujun looked at her with a smile.

she only felt that she was panicking in her heart. this fellow was clearly not the real fu mujun, yet he had spent so much effort just to please her. the more he acted like this, the more she felt that his motive was not simple.

fu mujun saw her staring at him blankly, then pointed at the cake in front of her, "why aren't you eating it? "continue to eat."

"oh, okay." huo xiwen lowered his head again, eating the cake one bite at a time.

as she was eating the cake, she suddenly felt as if her teeth had bitten into something hard. frowning, she spat out the unknown object from her mouth. it turned out to be a diamond ring the size of a pigeon's egg.

the moment she saw the diamond ring, she was completely dumbfounded.

she raised her head to look at fu mujun, who was standing in front of her, and asked him with the diamond ring, "this is..." "what do you mean?"

fu mujun got up, holding a napkin in his hand, and wrapped it around the diamond ring on her hand. after wiping it clean, he walked in front of her, knelt down on one leg, and said with a sincere voice: "it already belongs to you, it's my fault. you only saw it now. i don't know how much i used to love you, but i can a.s.sure you that at this moment, and in the future, my love for you will only increase. i don't know if you're willing to accept me and let me take care of you for the rest of your life. "

huo xiwen felt her heart churn as she listened to his confession.

as expected, she didn't expect him to be wrong. this fellow had put in so much effort to make so much preparations. he really did have a motive in mind.

he just didn't expect that his goal was to propose.

"you … "you get up first …" huo xiwen was a little frightened. if the man kneeling in front of her was really fu muyun, she would probably choose to accept this ring without any hesitation.

however, the situation now was that she already knew his ident.i.ty was wrong, so this seemingly touching proposal of marriage would only place a heavy burden on her.

what should he do?

it was impossible for him to reject the offer directly. if that was the case, fu mujun would definitely be suspicious.

however, agreeing to his proposal was even more impossible. what should she do now?

fu mujun could see the hesitation in her eyes. furthermore, she wanted him to stand up instead of crying as he accepted the ring. this made him start to suspect which part of the matter was wrong.

"you don't want to accept it?" he asked, with disappointment in his eyes.

"no …" "no." huo xi wen quickly waved his hand, afraid that li yao would suspect him, "i just didn't expect you to suddenly propose to me, i … i was too happy to react. "

hearing her reply, fu mujun relaxed a little and put the ring on the middle finger of her right hand, "idiot, don't scare me like that in the future. i thought you didn't want to accept my proposal."

huo xiwen looked at the diamond ring on his hand, and felt like crying in his heart.

she was so worried that she would lose herself in it.

"since you've accepted my proposal, then shouldn't i go and pay my respects to my aunt and set a date for our marriage? come to think of it, we are already together. i haven't even gone to pay my respects to aunt. " fu mujun said.

"no …." it's all right, my mommy told me yesterday that she's going on a trip to europe with a friend tomorrow and will probably have to play for a month or so. i think i'll tell her about it when she gets back from her trip. " huo xiwen didn't want him to see her mother, so she quickly responded in a perfunctory manner.

"oh? is auntie going to europe? why haven't i heard you mention this before? " fu mujun heard this and seemed to be very surprised.

"you're so busy at work every day that i didn't tell you about my mother's little trip." huo xiwen explained.

"if that's the case, then it's really unfortunate. "but it doesn't matter, i still have some things to take care of right now, i'll go see aunt when she comes back." although fu mujun's tone was somewhat regretful, he didn't seem to be suspicious.

huo xiwen had helped him buy a month's time, and only then did he relax a little.

after eating the cake, huo xiwen sat down for a while, then excused himself to go home to help his mother pack and go home.

fu mujun had originally proposed to send her home, but huo xiwen was afraid that he would send her home. she wanted to make an excuse to go in and see her mother, so she insisted on driving back herself.

fu mujun didn't force her, he only sent her to the door, watched her get on the car and drive away before turning around and returning to the house.

after entering the house, the first thing he did was dial a number with his phone. he ordered: "tomorrow, get someone to keep an eye on the huo family's situation and see if zhou wanru has left the country."

on the way home, huo xiwen held onto the steering wheel. the gigantic pigeon egg emitted a dazzling light from the pa.s.sing lights.

huo xiwen's eyes were stabbed by the light as he took off the ring and stuffed it into his bag.

then, he casually took out his bag and dialed luo qingyun's number, asking for her help.

the phone rang twice before answering. before waiting for the other party to speak, huo xiwen spoke first, "qingyun, what do we do? something's happened, fu mujun is proposing to me, i'm afraid of his suspicions, so i didn't dare to reject him. he also said that he was going to meet my mother, so i lied and said that my mother was going to europe tomorrow. what should i do? what should he do? what should i do now? "

"xi wen, it's me." after she finished speaking, there was no luo qingyun's voice on the phone. instead, it was a deep male voice.

when huo xiwen heard that voice, he was immediately stunned, "chen … brother chen hao? "

"you just said that fu mujun proposed to you?" su chen hao asked.

"yes …" yeah. brother chen hao, that … i already know that this fu mujun is fake, but don't blame qingyun, she just doesn't want to see me being tricked, that's why she hid this from you and told me about it. furthermore, don't worry, i didn't reveal to fu mujun that i already know he's a fake. " huo xi wen quickly explained, afraid that su chen hao would blame huo xi wen for this.
