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

At this moment, Shi Rong's already pretty and graceful face had been put on delicate light makeup.

With this light makeup, she looks even more beautiful and charming.

"With Ying Heng's death, the Ying family and its numerous branches are left with only me and Yang'er, the only ones who can hold the family together and ensure its status remains unshaken. To make matters worse, Yang'er encountered an unexpected accident at this very moment: on her way home, she ran into the love of her life."

Looking back, Feng Qingning's slightly cold eyes suddenly fell on Shi Rong who was still staring at the opposite side, and then looked at Huo Jiuzhou's head again and again.

The latter paused, as if he realized that what she was going to say next was related to him, so he rarely condescended and nodded in return to show his respect.

"It seems Mr. Huo has been so busy that he's forgotten all about it. Back then, when Rong'er first met you, you were on your way back to Luan after retiring from the special forces with your trusted brothers."

"That year, when Rong'er was 16 years old, she was seriously injured during training and had a high fever that wouldn't go away. Her grandfather had also just passed away, leaving her devastated. Passing through Jincheng, she encountered General Huo, Lawyer Chu, Doctor Xing, and Master Song Jian in a deserted forest."

The three people whose names were called, including the protagonist Huo Jiuzhou, immediately made prompt and careful recollections in their minds, searching frame by frame for everything that had happened in the past six years.

After a moment, Huo Jiuzhou really thought of it. Following the scene in his memory, he tentatively asked for the answer, his voice was magnetic and charming, and his tone was soft.

"Are you the little girl who got lost in the mountains and was badly injured?"

……

It's really rare that he finally remembered it. Shi Rong nodded, speechless.

Feng Qingning curled the corners of her mouth calmly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"It seems you, Mr. Huo, are truly forgetful. She fainted in the woods in the mountains, and the four of you passed by and inadvertently saved her life. She was wearing a hat and a mask at the time, and perhaps Mr. Huo was being a gentleman, right? In the few days that followed, you never once asked her to remove them. You were unable to see her face clearly, but she, in turn, has firmly memorized yours."

"Ying'er has been aloof and aloof since childhood. She's always quiet around people she finds unfamiliar or dislikes. It was your sincerity and enthusiasm back then that touched her heart, which was just beginning to fall in love. You said your name was Huo Jiuzhou, and that you lived in the Huo Family Lanting, on Xingzhou Shenshen Road in North City. You said you were the CEO of the Huo Group."

Feng Qingning smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"But no matter what you said at the time, Yan'er didn't respond. It's not that she looked down on you, but she has never had the talent for making friends since she was a child. She didn't know where to start, so she mostly just listened to you."

"In those three days, you told her a lot. From the living environment you grew up in to your distant dreams for the future. You cared for her carefully, changed her dressings considerately, made her laugh, and coaxed her to sleep."

"She said that the three days she spent with you were the happiest three days of her life."

Speaking of this, the four of them finally remembered all the scenes when they met the girl on their way back. However, they only found out today that the girl was actually Shi Rong?

"You said to her, 'Little girl, your eyes are beautiful. They seem to hold a sea of ​​stars. One look at them would make anyone fall for you.' You said you would protect her, no matter what your identity or method."

"Maybe. It was just something you said carelessly back then, but Rong'er took it seriously."

"But she knew her status was unusual, and that matters of the heart weren't something she could decide on her own. So before we parted, she made an agreement with you that she would meet you in North City one year from now."

Feng Qingning's detailed words were like an overdue old movie. The more detailed she spoke, the clearer Huo Jiuzhou's memory became.

"After Ying Heng's funeral, she mentioned you to me. To be honest, if you hadn't introduced yourself in such detail back then, then Rong'er wouldn't have even heard of you. Even though you were the eldest grandson of the Huo family's main wife, a young talent renowned throughout North City for your boundless charm, she still knew nothing about you."

"She told me that she fell in love with you and wanted to be with you. She said she liked your gentleness, thoughtfulness, and careful care. She said that besides you, she wanted nothing else in the Ying family."

Whenever Feng Qingning thought of Shi Rong's stubbornness and her refusal to listen, she regretted that she had not taken strong action to force her to give up the idea of ​​coming to North City.

When the man heard this, his heart, which was hanging in his chest, suddenly ached. He frowned slightly and looked at Shi Rong with eyes full of tenderness and care.

But the woman no longer looked at him as she did in the past. She just lowered her head indifferently, looking calm.

"Excuse me for being blunt. If, back then, Rong'er had fallen in love with the three people around you instead of you, Huo Jiuzhou, I could accept any one of them."

"The only exception is your Huo family. I absolutely will not agree to her marrying into it! Do you know why? Because I know too well your grandfather's feudal and stubborn ideology. He places so much emphasis on birth and family background, which means he is destined to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person! How could I allow my granddaughter to spend her whole life groveling before such a man?"

"Besides, you, Huo Jiuzhou, are not a suitable partner to be entrusted with your life, because you are the helmsman of the Huo family! The responsibilities on your shoulders will only be greater than those of others. Your love, marriage, and ideals are destined to all be based on the overall situation!"

"It's a pity that those involved are so confused that Yan'er simply won't listen to my kind words of advice! She stubbornly believes that I am blocking her pursuit of happiness. Little does she know that it is precisely because I failed to stop her that she has been struggling in hell every day for the next four years!"

"She begged me every day to give you a chance, to give the Huo family a chance. She said she believed in you because you are Huo Jiuzhou, who always keeps your word!"

"Her stubbornness left me with no other options. To make her give up, I personally sent her to the Eurasian-Thailand Tripartite Secret Intelligence Agency and chose to make her a killer."

"And Thomas gave her three photos of the world's most wanted criminals. I told her that as long as she could take down those three targets without asking for anyone's help, I would give her a chance to pursue happiness."

"Thank goodness, before she turned 17, Ying Shirong was too scared to even witness murder, let alone kill someone."

"But for you, she did it. Three bosses, seven drug traffickers, nearly 5000 people! She went to three places in just nine days and killed them all!"
