The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

After admiring it for a moment, Shi Rong pinched the ring on the top of the jade token and handed it to Shen Mingxing, who was still in a trance, with a playful and crisp sound.

"Dang Dang!"

"Pfft~"

Xia Zhi and Ji Xinyue both laughed out loud when they saw Shi Rong's childish look which they hadn't seen in a long time.

"For me?"

Shen Mingxing took it flattered, but without looking at it carefully, he pointed to the tip of his nose with his finger.

Shi Rong nodded.

"Ah."

Shen Mingxing imitated her previous behavior, holding the jade token in his hand and looking at it from left to right. After looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what this thing represented besides its beautiful appearance.

"What is this for?"

Shi Rong smiled, thinking that she wouldn't know much about this matter, so he patiently answered her questions.

"It's for marriage. Whenever the elders of the Huo family approach outsiders to propose marriage for their children, they always bring along the jade tokens unique to each branch. This one represents Huo Qiye, the second branch of the Huo family. With this, you can be together openly. Otherwise, without the Huo family's approval, it can only be considered a secret marriage, and any children born in the future will not be legitimate."

After hearing this, Shen Mingxing understood.

Tonight, Shi Rong took such a big risk to attend the Huo family banquet, and personally took action to help the Huo family solve the big problem of Zheng Yuyan.

Everything she did was just to get her this thing? So that she could continue to be with Huo Qiye?

Which galaxy had Shen Mingxing saved in her previous life to have a friend as foolish as Shi Rong? Did she even realize how dangerous this was?

"So, everything you did tonight was for me and Huo Qiye?"

Shi Rong thought about it and shook his head honestly.

"It's not just that, it's just a piece of cake."

A little effort?

Does this mean that Shi Rong has promised Huo Yan something else?

Shen Mingxing said that he was such a stubborn old man that the words "I don't like her" were almost carved on his face. How could he agree so easily to let her marry into the second branch of the Huo family?

"What else did you promise him? You'd better tell me clearly. If you don't tell me, then I don't want it. Anyway, I don't want to marry Huo Qiye..."

Shen Mingxing displayed her usual arrogant aura as a domestic film queen, held her chin high and refused to admit defeat, and was ready to compete with Shi Rong in a battle of wits and courage.

She thought the woman would obey her, but unexpectedly she didn't buy it at all.

"You do not want?"

Seeing this, Shi Rong stretched out two fingers and directly took the jade token from her palm, weighed it in his hand, and looked thoughtfully at the remaining well-dressed rich girls behind him on the left.

"Since you don't want to get married, why not give this good opportunity to someone else? I guess there should be many people here who want to marry Huo Qiye more than you do, right?"

Having said that, she actually turned around and was about to leave.

“Hey hey hey…”

Shen Mingxing was startled and hurriedly hugged her back, rubbed her soft and tender little face twice in a flattering manner, and snatched the jade token of marriage that she pretended to throw away with her left hand, holding it tightly in her arms.

"Then...you should leave this opportunity to me."

Shi Rong was speechless. He gave her a cold look, raised his hand and slapped her arm away, not forgetting to tease her.

"Shen Mingxing, if you ever get heartbroken, it's definitely because you were so stubborn and got rejected."

"I……"

"Pfft~"

Shen Mingxing's face flushed with shame and she was speechless for a moment. After seeing Huo Qiye and Huo Yiyan across from her huddled together and laughing secretly, she became even more furious.

She gave Shi Rong a light slap on her curvy back, mumbling incoherently.

"Oh, you're... so annoying."

Shi Rong ignored her behavior and turned to look at Huo Yan who was sitting in the main seat.

Now that the business was done, there was no need for her to stay here and be annoying. After all, she still had her own things to do.

He nodded slightly and nodded to the person.

"Thank you, Mr. Huo, for your help. As for the other matter we agreed on, I will complete it before dawn. Please rest assured, Mr. Huo."

After a pause, Shi Rong continued.

"Now that our cooperation has been reached, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

Without waiting for Huo Yan to respond, Huo Jiuzhou, who was in the deputy position and heard her say "I want to leave" with his own ears, completely erupted with the anger that he had suppressed all night.

He stood up with a thud, his eyes were terrifyingly cold and his tone was icy cold.

“Where are you going!?”

Shi Rong was startled by his sudden growl, but out of politeness, he answered truthfully.

"I have things to do."

The man was so anxious that he almost subconsciously wanted to rush over and grab her, but before he could take a step, he was scolded harshly by Huo Yan.

"Huo Jiuzhou, sit down!"

Veins bulged on the man's forehead, and he was in a dilemma for a moment. He knew very well that as long as he didn't leave this door, Shi Rong's life would still be in Huo Yan's hands.

But he couldn't let this woman escape so easily.

"Shi Rong, you'd better not think of leaving me, otherwise, I will make sure you never leave Lanting in your life!"

The man warned in a serious tone. His voice was not loud, but almost every word was squeezed out from between his teeth with cruelty.

"you…!"

Without waiting for Shi Rong to react, Shen Mingxing became anxious.

How could this man still say such shameless words at this point? She wanted to step forward and argue with him, but Shi Rong stopped her.

There was no so-called smile, and she did not respond to the man's threat.

Seeing that the situation was too tense, after Huo Jiuzhou sat down with his anger still lingering, Huo Yan smiled and waved at Shi Rong, motioning her to take a few steps forward.

Shi Rong had no idea what evil plan this old man had up his mind, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and move towards him.

"Miss Shi, why are you in such a hurry to leave? You've seen that there are some things you can't do without Jiuzhou's approval. Beicheng is still the Huo family's territory after all."

Shi Rong understood what Huo Yan meant. As long as Huo Jiuzhou didn't say to let her go, he, as her grandfather, could do nothing about it.

What's more, the city lockdown order has been issued. Even if she can leave Yunding Tianxing, she can't escape the encirclement set up by Huo Jiuzhou.

But a smart person always has her own way. Why does this old man look down on her so much?

"Instead of you insisting on leaving and making both of us unhappy, how about I make another deal with you?"

Shi Rong raised his eyes, glanced at Huo Yan in confusion, and then glanced at the watch on Shen Mingxing's wrist.

9:15.

time is limited.

"If the deal Mr. Huo is talking about can't be completed within 15 minutes, then let's talk about it another day."

Seeing her nonchalant look, Huo Yan didn't mind. He knew that Shi Rong was in a hurry to do more important things.

"As long as Miss Shi nods and agrees, I guarantee that you will be able to walk out of here safely within 5 minutes. I will help you."
