Without paying attention to their manners, the two sat on the carpet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and drank in silence.

Tonight is the end of the month. There is no moon and only a few stars.

The dim street lights in the distance formed a line, winding and outlining the invisible distance.

After drinking more than a bottle of red wine in silence, Ruan Xingchen felt a little drunk. He leaned over the table and tilted his head to look over: "Mr. Huo."

Her cheeks were flushed, her lips were even redder, and her eyes were moist and shining, as if tears were about to fall at any moment.

She looks pitiful yet delicious, as if tempting to be picked. I wish I could lock her in my arms and bully her until she cries.

Huo Yan's Adam's apple rolled and his voice was hoarse: "Hmm?"

"I feel a little uncomfortable." She pressed her chest and murmured in confusion, "But I don't know why I feel uncomfortable."

She only had a brief contact with Haitang.

However, the confessions of Boss Sun's men all revealed what an inhuman life she led before her death.

In the mire, she still retains a bit of pure kindness.

But this pure kindness cost her her life.

After tonight, other girls can start a new life and restart their lives.

But she stayed in last night forever, unable to enjoy the feeling of freedom.

The policewoman later told her that other girls said that Haitang was only 20 years old this year and was abducted into the brothel when she was 16 years old.

Her mother had died a long time ago, and her biological father was a gambler. When he lost the house, he mortgaged it to his daughter and never cared about what her future life would be like.

This girl never had a single day in her life when she enjoyed living in the sunshine without having to worry.

The absurdity bred by poverty will always be unimaginable to those who still have some humanity.

She didn't know how many other girls were living such a dark life, nor did she know what she could do or what she could change.

"My heart feels like there's a huge hole in it, and the wind keeps blowing." She lowered her eyes, half crying and half laughing, "It makes me feel so empty, like it's hollowed out my whole being."

It's so painful, but I don't know why I have the right to feel uncomfortable.

"I'm here." Huo Yan lowered his eyes, held her face, and said seriously, "If you feel empty in your heart, I will help you fill it."

"You can't save Haitang, but you can prevent other girls from following her path. We can set up a charity fund specifically to help girls in trouble... Aren't you investing now? You can put some of your profits into this, and the Huo family can also invest."

He was truly a business prodigy, praised by everyone. In a few words, he sketched out a rough outline and even thought of a plan for the fund: "Didn't you complain before that your aunt had ripped off a lot of wealthy ladies and celebrities? You could get them to invest with you and ask them to donate a portion of their earnings to the fund."

"Compared to being defrauded and losing everything, they must be very willing to accept such a clearly marked price."

The man spoke eloquently, his black eyes showing the confidence that he was in control of the situation, as if no matter how big the problem was, it could be easily solved in front of him.

So powerful and calm, like a god in control of everything, his whole body seemed to be glowing.

At least in Ruan Xingchen's eyes, he is so charming and makes people's heart beat fast.

Her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably. Ruan Xingchen licked her dry lips and called out, "Mr. Huo."

Immersed in his thoughts, Huo Yan subconsciously looked down at her and responded, "Hmm?"

There was a gleam of water on her lips, the water in her eyes was surprisingly soft, and her body, which had gone limp after drinking, was bent into an incredible arc.

She was like a witch who came to seduce people in the middle of the night. Just sitting there, she could make people fall in love with her without making a single move.

Huo Yan, who had been making careful plans just now, felt his mind go blank. He stared at her rosy lips and whispered, "What's wrong?"

The voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing something.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and her usually clear voice with a hint of coldness was unexpectedly charming. She whispered, "I just want to tell you..."

She curled her lips and smiled lightly: "I'm going to kiss you."

After saying that, before he could react, she knelt up and sat up. A pair of arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him down, and lips with a faint scent of wine came close.

They exchanged a passionate kiss.

After a while, she finally relaxed with watery eyes. Just as she was about to take a step back with a smile, she was suddenly supported by a big hand on her lower back.

His palms were burning hot, pressing against her skin through the thin pajamas, almost burning her: "Madam, it's not enough."

His nose touched hers, and he chuckled hoarsely, "I owe you Madam what you owed me at the back door tonight. It's time to pay it back."

Ruan Xingchen suddenly opened his eyes wide, and all the unfinished words were blocked back.

So the next morning, the younger brother and sister were surprised to find that their sister-in-law's lips, which were originally only bruised at the corners, had swollen all over, and upon closer inspection, it seemed that the skin was broken.

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Huo Qianqian's eyes widened, heartbroken. "Did you apply medicine? Does your mouth hurt? Those people are really too much!"

"It's okay." Ruan Xingchen coughed uncomfortably, holding up the bowl of porridge to cover her red lips, her ears slightly red. "It will be fine in two days... Come and eat!"

"Brother, why are your lips swollen too?" Just at this moment, Huo Yan got out of the elevator, and Huo Jingxuan suddenly shouted without any expression: "Is that Boss Sun a pervert? Why does he always like to hit people in the mouth? Hey, that's not right... Why are there teeth marks? He must have bitten..."

"Just shut up!" Huo Yuanzhou's forehead was crossed, and he elbowed him hard: "If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb."

"Is it wrong for me to care about my elder brother? Huo Er, what's wrong with you?" Huo Jingxuan was furious: "What's it to you what I say?"

Idiot, I'm saving your life!

Huo Yuanzhou simply couldn't bear to watch it. He couldn't understand how the old man's genes were inherited, allowing Huo San to accurately avoid all the DNA that could improve his IQ.

"Just eat your meal quietly, why are you making such a fuss?" Huo Yan frowned slightly and looked at them coldly.

He is still very dignified in this family.

As soon as they heard the words, the two stopped quarreling and ate their meal quietly.

Ruan Xingchen suddenly remembered something and looked at Huo Chenglin who was sipping milk: "Chenglin, is your parent-teacher meeting coming soon?"

"Sister-in-law, do you still remember?" Huo Chenglin was stunned. His eyes fell on her, and his heart was full of complicated feelings. "Next Wednesday, it opens at 9 am."

"Of course I remember." Ruan Xingchen's tone was normal, with a hint of relief: "The parent-teacher conference is a big deal. The bruises should be gone by next Wednesday, thankfully."

She was young to begin with, and if she went to the parent-teacher meeting injured, it would be bad if she left a bad impression on the teacher.

There are still a few days left, there is still time.

Seeing her being so serious, Huo Chenglin felt a little uncomfortable. He rubbed his fingertips on the milk cup twice and said awkwardly, "It's not a big deal... If sister-in-law has something to do, she doesn't have to go. It's okay."
