time seemed to freeze with her expression. he was waiting for her answer, and she obviously didn't know how to respond to this sudden confession.

"did i scare you?" before waiting for her reply, fu mujun spoke and broke the deadlock.

huo xi wen regained his senses, he chewed the food in his mouth and swallowed it, then took a gulp of the red wine beside his hand, as if he had made his decision, he looked at huo xi wen and asked: "is what you said true? "you haven't even thought about the past. do you really love me?"

"i love you. it has nothing to do with the past. all i want to say is what i feel now, and as for memories, i think i'll remember them one day. fu mujun looked into her eyes and said affectionately.

huo xiwen looked at the incredibly familiar face in front of him and thought back to the time when he was together with him. the last struggle in his heart finally quieted down.

gently nodding her head, she softly said, "ok."

hearing her affirmation, fu mujun was very happy, he immediately hugged her face and kissed her lightly on the cheek.

such a close contact caused huo xiwen's face to instantly turn red. she felt a little embarra.s.sed as she said, "others are looking at us."

"now that you're my woman, why would you care about the gazes of others?" fu mujun kissed her on the forehead again.

huo xiwen didn't dodge, but a trace of unease still remained in the depths of his heart.

she didn't know if agreeing to fu mujun's request was the right decision before she was completely sure of her intentions.

she was even more uncertain if her choice would bring any harm to fu mujun in the future.

after all, she still had another man hidden in her heart. to deal with mu jun. this was very unfair.

fu mujun was too focused on being happy that he didn't notice huo xiwen's absent-minded expression.

after the two of them finished eating, when they walked out of the restaurant, huo xiwen suddenly noticed that there seemed to be someone staring at him from behind.

thinking about how she was followed by chen yanzhuo's people in a taxi, she thought those people were chen yanzhuo's people, and couldn't help but feel a little displeased.

however, this matter could not be known by fu mujun, so she turned to fu mujun who was beside his and said, "you still have some matters to attend to in the afternoon, right? "no need to send me home, i'm just strolling around the streets. go get busy."

fu mujun glanced at her, as though he was worried about something. "i can take care of my matters later. i'll accompany you on your shopping trip."

"no need, i want to go to a bookstore and read. it's fine with me. your job is more important. " huo xiwen said in a very considerate manner.

when fu mujun heard her say that, he did not insist on staying with her. he only reminded her to be careful by herself and to call him if there was anything she could do. he then bid her farewell and headed to the parking lot.

huo xiwen watched fu mujun leave, then turned to look at the man who had been following her, only to realize that he had already disappeared.

did he hide because he knew he had found him?

she had an indescribable feeling when she thought of the possibility that this person was sent by chen yanzhuo to follow her.

she took out her cell phone and directly dialed chen yanzhuo's number.

the phone rang twice before it was connected. chen yanzhuo's voice came from inside. it wasn't loud, but carried a tone of voice. "xi wen, is there something you need?"

"chen yanzhuo, what exactly do you mean? why did you send someone to follow me? " huo xiwen angrily shouted into the phone.

"following you? i... "no one followed you …" "no," he denied, his voice sounding off.

"you didn't? do you still want to admit it? other than you, who else would be so free to send people to follow me? " huo xiwen did not believe him at all.

the other end of the line suddenly fell into silence.

huo xiwen thought that his phone had been disconnected, so he took it in front of his eyes and saw that it was still on the phone.

why was there no sound coming from the other end of the phone?

"hey, chen yanzhuo, are you listening to me? speak up, i'm asking you a question. " she continued on the other end of the line.

however, there was no response from inside. at this moment, she finally felt something was wrong. she looked at the other end of the phone and said "hey" a few times. then, she heard the sound of a gla.s.s. .h.i.tting the ground.

"chen yanzhuo, what's wrong with you? is something wrong with you? " after all, his injuries had not completely recovered yet, and he was still recovering, so there was still a certain amount of danger.

there was no reply for a long time, so huo xiwen could only hang up the phone and immediately give zhao wei a call.

the call quickly connected. huo xiwen didn't wait for zhao wei to speak and directly said, "zhao wei, quickly go to the hospital and see chen yanzhuo. did something happen to him?"

"hospital? a.s.sistant chen has been discharged from the hospital and is currently resting at home. " zhao wei said on the other end of the phone.

what? he was discharged? when did this happen? she didn't even know. when she saw him last night, she thought he had come straight from the hospital to find her.

"then quickly go to his house and see if something happened to him. i just called him, and he stopped talking halfway through …"

"then i'll give him a call and try. maybe his cell phone has been cut off." zhao wei said.

"forget it, tell me the address of his house, i'll go take a look myself." in the end, huo xiwen felt worried and said worriedly.

"that's fine, his house is very close to yours, it's the jingyang flower garden next door to your villa complex. the room number seems to be 909, and the spare key is under the flower pot at the door. if no one answers, just use the key to open the door."

huo xiwen wrote down the address, hung up the phone and walked to the roadside. he stopped a taxi and rushed towards chen yanzhuo's district.

jingyang flower garden was an upscale residential area that was adjacent to the villa area. it was filled with gardens and mansions of european style buildings. chen yanzhuo living in such a place was very suitable for his current ident.i.ty.

according to the address given by zhao wei, she soon arrived at the door of the ocean building 909.

the white wooden fence surrounded a small garden. at this moment, the fence was closed and not locked. she gently pushed it open.

walking along the bluestone path in the little garden to the door, he saw, as expected, basic orchids placed beside the steps by the side of the door. "ooo …"

first she went to the door and rang the bell. after a few minutes, no one answered and no one came to the door.

after hesitating for a moment, she turned around and went to the flower pot to find the spare key. she went up to the door and opened it.

upon entering, he saw the scene in the living room.

gray floor tiles, white walls, a sofa with a cool tone, a simple coffee table with simple lines and furnishings, the entire room had a unique cold style unique to single men, refined and simple.
