Chapter 491

tring of familiar license plate numbers, my whole body froze."What's wrong" Fu Jing noticed her abnormality.Fu Yan shook her head, then quickly calmed down, worried that Huo Mingzheng would make thing...Saying that, she turned and went out of the room.

She had just reached the door when she heard footsteps approaching from behind her.

"The room you used to live in is still available, everything inside is untouched. It's just for one night, no problem."

"I really..."

Suddenly, a pair of strong hands wrapped around her waist from behind. Fu Yan's body stiffened, and the words on her lips came to an abrupt halt.

Fu Hanlin's chin rested on her shoulder, the scent of wood and alcohol blending together like a wave of heat washing over her. Fu Yan struggled, but his arms tightened around her, "Let me finish, okay"

Fu Yan's eyes flashed.

But Fu Hanlin didn't give her a chance to refuse, and slowly spoke.

"From a young age, the education I received has always taught me to be restrained and polite. And indeed, I have done so, priding myself on doing a good job. This quality has certainly brought me many benefits, but it has also caused me to miss out on many things."

Fu Yan noticed he was about to say something next. She wasn't sure if it was the alcohol, but her head started pounding.

Fu Hanlin's jaw tightened, a hot and intense breath brushing against Fu Yan's collar. His voice was low and husky, "After you moved out, the housemaids always said it felt like something was missing. But everything in the house is exactly the same as before."

"Only then did I realize, besides you."

My grandmother passed away a long time ago, and my mother is no longer with us either. There hasn't been a woman running the household for quite some time now.

"Whether it's life or love, I hope you can have a fresh start."

He turned Fu Yan over gently but with an undeniable air of dominance. "Then perhaps you could start with me"

Fu Yan really felt that Fu Hanlin had had too much to drink. This was the most he'd ever spoken.

"You're drunk," Fu Yan pushed against him, but couldn't move him.

Fu Hanlin hummed in response, "I was drunk, but my mind was clear. I knew what I was saying."

He stared into her eyes, slowly lowering his head until his forehead rested against hers. His breath was warm and slightly hurried. "I only saw you for the first time at the school dance. After that, I started paying attention to you, to what was going on at school, to how you were doing at the Huo family. That first encounter... I never thought it would be a love at first sight."

They were too close, his presence overwhelming her, leaving her nowhere to escape.

Suddenly, a string of cellphone ringtones rang out. Fu Yan hurriedly took her phone out of her pocket, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.

The call was from Ji Qing.

It's so late, Qiqing wouldn't call if nothing was up. Could something be wrong with Qilin

Fu Yan's heart pounded in her chest, she couldn't wait to answer, "Hello, Sister Qiqing."

On the phone, Ji Qing's voice was as calm as ever, "Xiaoyan, Ji Lin has reacted."

At one in the morning, Fu Yan and Fu Hanlin got out of the car. Fu Yan got out of the car in a hurry and almost twisted her ankle. Fu Hanlin supported her arm, "Slow down."

Fu Yan's eyes were red-rimmed, she choked back a sob and hummed in response before quickly entering the elevator with Fu Hanlin.

Outside Ji Lin's ward, there were many people standing. There were his coaches and teammates, Fu Jing, family members, medical personnel, and...

Fu Yan's gaze lingered for a moment, then swept over Huo Mingzheng before she quickly walked towards Ji Qing.

The moment the elevator doors opened, Huo Mingzheng's eyes fell on her and Fu Hanlin behind her.
