uld believe it if this got outBesides, although Huo Yuan had given up his claim to the Huo family's inheritance several years ago, he still had quite a few businesses under his control. Some of them w...Li Qin's car drove into the manor of a renowned Jinling residence, and the driver brought the vehicle to a halt.

The head butler, Lao Luo, personally came out to open the door. It wasn't that Li Qin received special treatment; every guest who could enter the estate was a close friend of Mr. Huo, and he wouldn't treat them poorly.

Have you eaten yet

Li Qin lifted her skirt and got out of the car, “Come over and keep Zheng company for a meal.”

Luo Shu nodded, "Just about to eat. You can rest on the sofa first, I'll go upstairs and call Mr. Huo."

"No need, you go busy yourself, I'll call him." Li Qin gave the other person a considerate smile and then went upstairs to the master bedroom.

After Huo Mingzheng returned to recuperate, Qin Heng only came over every other day to check on the healing of his wounds.

He couldn't help but marvel at Huo Mingzheng's physical fitness. His healing rate was much faster than normal people.

However, there seemed to be signs of a minor secondary tear on his wound. Qin Heng privately asked Cao Fang about it, but Cao Fang remained silent. This time, it was Cao Yuan who spoke up instead.

Cao Yuan only said that Huo Zong was in a bad mood and broke some things.

Smash things!

Qin Heng immediately understood that the wound on his right shoulder must have been torn a second time when he smashed something.

He had known Huo Mingzheng for over twenty years. Among their circle, Huo Mingzheng was considered emotionally stable. When he got angry, at most he would suffer himself and never take it out on others. He had never heard of him breaking things before.

What kind of person or event could make him this angry

No matter how he questioned them, the identical twin brothers gave the same answer: "Go ask Mr. Huo."

Just kidding, things have escalated to the point of smashing stuff, there's no way he'd dare touch that bad luck.

He could only subtly advise him to relax these days, heal his wounds, and then everything would be negotiable.

Fortunately, Huo Mingzheng finally listened and stopped making a fuss.

When Li Qin went upstairs, he happened to be wearing a coat and coming out of the master bedroom.

A flicker of complex emotion crossed his eyes. Li Qin smiled and went up to him, straightening the collar of his coat. "You came out just in time, Lao Luo said dinner is ready."

"Didn't you say you were coming at eight this morning Why are you so late" he asked casually, turning his body slightly and brushing at his sleeve.

Li Qin's hand brushed against his collar, "I went to see an old friend, it's not too late, just in time to have lunch with you."

At the table, she looked at the dishes in front of her and said in surprise, “I remember you didn’t like eating Cantonese food before.”

Uncle Luo explained: "Two Madame had been to Guangzhou for a music recital and enjoyed the local cuisine several times. Mr. Huo specially hired a chef who specializes in authentic Cantonese dishes after hearing about this. After trying the food several times, he was satisfied and decided to keep him."

He was referring to Huo Mingzheng's mother as the second Mrs.

Li Qin bit her chopsticks, a faint gloom in her eyes.

She doesn't eat Guangcheng cuisine because Huo Mingzheng doesn't like it. If he dislikes something, she definitely won't like it; if he likes something...

Butler Luo's words interrupted her thoughts. "I remember Miss Li's taste, so I specially instructed the kitchen to make some Suzhou dishes."

Li Qin smiled, "Uncle Luo is so thoughtful."

She scooped up some soup with a spoon and served it to Huo Mingzheng.

"Do you think the friend you met is important" Huo Mingzheng suddenly spoke.er, such a small movement couldn't escape Huo Mingzheng's sharp eyes.In the blink of an eye, Huo Mingzheng once again grabbed her wrist and held it under the faucet.His deeply etched profile was taut,...
