Flash Marriage with Dr. Huo

Chapter 37 Have you always treated me as an outsider?

Realizing that Lin Yunzheng had just looked at Huo Chenyuan's phone, Huo Chenyuan's eyes froze for a moment and he looked at Lin Yunzheng.

Over the years, Huo Chenyuan has become accustomed to living alone. Now that someone has suddenly entered his life, he may not be fully accustomed to it yet.

"Your phone is on the desk. It just rang. I was worried that the hospital might need you, so I brought it to you..."

Before Lin Yunzheng finished speaking, Huo Chenyuan asked, "What did you see?"

"Why am I not in your family group, but your ex-girlfriend is?"

Huo Chenyuan frowned, obviously surprised and caught off guard by this question.

After a moment of silence, Huo Chenyuan said, "This matter... Actually, I have always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to tell you."

His words were filled with apology. "My ex-girlfriend's name was indeed in the family group. I didn't deliberately hide anything. I just thought it was a thing of the past."

"Does that mean I'm still not considered your family in your heart? You've never thought of adding me to the group?"

Hearing this, Huo Chenyuan's expression became more serious. "I didn't think it through. After all, we just got married not long ago. I think we both need more time to adapt."

"How long do you mean it will take?" Lin Yunzheng asked.

"After the wedding." Huo Chenyuan hesitated.

Then the two fell silent.

Lin Yunzheng looked directly into Huo Chenyuan's eyes and asked, "Is there something in your heart that you can't let go of? Or is there someone that you can't let go of?"

Hearing these words, Huo Chenyuan felt as if the softest part of his heart was poked.

Huo Chenyuan realized that it might be some regret from the past that was still in his heart.

He chose to hide, perhaps because he was afraid of hurting Lin Yunzheng, or perhaps because he himself was not yet ready to face the past.

Lin Yunzheng felt Huo Chenyuan's alienation.

"I won't force you, but I feel like you always treat me as an outsider." Lin Yunzheng said softly, but felt a little lost in her heart.

At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly rang, breaking the silence in the room.

Huo Chenyuan glanced at the caller ID and his expression suddenly turned serious. It was a hospital phone number, which seemed to mean that another patient needed his help.

"Sorry, Yunzheng," Huo Chenyuan gave Lin Yunzheng an apologetic look, "I'll take a call." His words revealed an unquestionable sense of responsibility.

Lin Yunzheng nodded and said, "Go ahead, work is important."

As the night deepened, Lin Yunzheng's mood had not completely calmed down, and she was in no mood to eat.

Lin Yunzheng called her best friend Tang Xiaqing, but no one answered. So she called her colleague Chen Yu to chat. Chen Yu also said she was bored at home and suggested going out shopping.

"Okay, where are we going?" Lin Yunzheng said.

"Let me think about it." Chen Yu paused. "Are you interested in going to the Deep Blue Bar? I heard this newly opened bar is pretty good."

"OK, I'll be right there."

Lin Yunzheng, wearing a simple yet elegant black dress, stepped into the door of the Deep Blue Bar.

The lights were dim, and the thumping music mixed with the laughter of the people, creating an atmosphere that was both psychedelic and relaxing. She found her colleagues' seats and joined them.

Under the soft light and shadow of the Deep Blue Bar, Lin Yunzheng was immersed in conversation and laughter with her friends, unaware that Fang Shenghe, who was not far away, had been silently watching her.

He sat alone in the corner, gently shaking the glass of red wine in his hand, his eyes never leaving Lin Yunzheng's direction.

At this time, a strange man came over and approached Lin Yunzheng. Seeing that Lin Yunzheng was a little drunk, he even made indecent moves.

At this moment, Fang Shenghe quickly stood up and walked to Lin Yunzheng in two steps. He pushed the strange man away.

He looked at the other person coldly, with a warning glint in his eyes, "If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better leave immediately."

There were two men behind Fang Shenghe.

The stranger was intimidated by the momentum of Fang Shenghe and his companions. After a moment, he reluctantly took a few steps back and eventually disappeared in the crowd.

After the situation returned to calm, Fang Shenghe turned to Lin Yunzheng and asked softly, "Are you okay?" His eyes were full of tenderness and care.

Lin Yunzheng nodded, her gratitude overflowing with words: "Thank you, Mr. Fang. I don't know how to thank you enough."

Fang Shenghe's voice was gentle: "As long as you are safe."

"Mr. Fang, why are you here too?" Lin Yunzheng asked.

Chen Yu stood beside him with his head down and didn't say anything.

Hearing Lin Yunzheng's question, Fang Shenghe answered casually: "It's just a coincidence, just a coincidence." Every word he said was trying hard to hide his true thoughts.

In fact, ever since Fang Shenghe developed feelings for Lin Yunzheng, he began to take action secretly.

He secretly contacted several colleagues around Lin Yunzheng, especially Chen Yu, who became the key person for him to obtain information.

Chen Yu hesitated at first. After all, she knew that it was inappropriate to involve other people's private affairs. However, considering that Fang Shenghe was the company's Party A, Chen Yu agreed and promised to keep it confidential.

It was she who revealed to Fang Shenghe the news that Lin Yunzheng planned to go to the Deep Blue Bar tonight, which led to this "coincidence".

Huo Chenyuan rushed to the hospital, and after finishing his work with the emergency patient, he called Lin Yunzheng. However, after calling several times, no one answered the phone, which made him worry and feel a little annoyed.

After dialing for the third time, when the call was finally answered, Huo Chenyuan thought he would hear Lin Yunzheng's voice, but unexpectedly heard another man's voice.

At this moment, the anger in his heart suddenly rose, his heart beat faster, and anger and confusion intertwined.

"Who are you? Why did you answer my wife's call?" Huo Chenyuan tried his best to control his tone.

On the other end of the phone, Fang Shenghe clearly sensed that something was amiss, but he remained calm. "I'm Fang Shenghe. She's not available right now."

"Inconvenient? What happened?"

"Lin Yunzheng is drunk." Fang Shenghe was very calm.

Huo Chenyuan was silent for a moment.

Fang Shenghe offered, "If you need, I can send Lin Yunzheng home and make sure she's safe. Alternatively, you can come over and confirm it yourself. It's up to you."

"Where is it? I'm coming."

"Deep Blue Bar. I'll take her home."

After ending his call with Huo Chenyuan, Fang Shenghe put down Lin Yunzheng's phone and returned his gaze to her. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes were hazy, and she looked particularly weak and helpless.

She leaned gently towards Fang Shenghe, as if seeking support. At that moment, Fang Shenghe's heartstrings were deeply touched.

Fang Shenghe carefully hugged Lin Yunzheng as if he was hugging the most precious treasure in the world, and then let go immediately after a second.

Her hair exuded a delicate fragrance, and the feeling of closeness made Fang Shenghe's heart beat faster. He lowered his head and whispered softly, as if talking to himself, but also to the person in his arms: "I really want to protect you. Have you been wronged? I will protect you and won't let anyone hurt you."

For Fang Shenghe, although this was not the scene he most looked forward to, under the cover of alcohol and the night, he was able to temporarily let go of his restraints and enjoy this brief warmth.

After a while, Fang Shenghe gently helped Lin Yunzheng up and decided to send her home safely according to the agreement he had made with Huo Chenyuan.

"You go." Fang Shenghe and Chen Yu said, "I will send her back."

Inside the car, Lin Yunzheng was still half asleep, occasionally uttering subtle mumblings, which made Fang Shenghe want to be even more careful and protective. He looked at Lin Yunzheng in the passenger seat and wanted to touch her hand. However, in the end, he didn't reach out.

When the car drove to the downstairs of Qianyue Jiayuan's residential complex, Huo Chenyuan was already waiting there.
