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

He stretched out his long arms, suddenly pulled up the woman with her eyes closed on the ground, and without thinking, threw her heavily onto the bed.

Shi Rong felt pain, and felt as if his lower back was about to break. Before anyone could hurriedly get up from the bed, Huo Jiuzhou leaned over and pressed down on him.

A strong smell of alcohol, mixed with the unique mint and sandalwood scent of men, sprayed on her plain little face.

Huo Jiuzhou's voice was melodious and pleasant, but his words were sarcastic.

"What? The bed I bought can't accommodate you? Why do you have to sleep on the floor?"

Shi Rong opened her mouth weakly, wanting to say that she couldn't sleep in bed because of back pain.

But then he thought, what does this have to do with him, Huo Jiuzhou? He even hoped that she would die right now.

"say!"

Seeing that she remained silent and looked as if she had something stuck in her throat, the man became even more angry.

"I'm... used to sleeping on the floor."

In panic, Shi Rong made up a sentence in an attempt to get away with it.

"I want to hear the truth!"

The man raised his hands and pressed her slender arms hard on the bed.

The lower back was bent under the weight, which made Shi Rong suffer a lot of pain, but his face was still stubborn and did not show any misery.

"I'm telling the truth."

She had a pair of lifeless eyes. She didn't dare to look at him from beginning to end, nor did she want to look at him, for fear that if she looked at him for one more moment, she would have nightmares at night.

"Shi Rong! Believe me, I have a hundred ways to make you speak!"

Huo Jiuzhou, a straight man, was born without the romantic cells for falling in love. During the 10 months he was with Shi Rong, he relied on this woman to show her kindness and beg for mercy to maintain their relationship.

But now, when the woman no longer actively flirts with him, he would extremely think that Shi Rong was disgusted with the things he bought, and would even rather sleep on the floor than be contaminated by his scent.

His thin lips dropped without warning, biting and nibbling on Shi Rong's dry and pale lips.

The kiss came suddenly and was domineering, carrying with it a sense of punishment and anger, leaving the woman with no way to avoid it and leaving her surprised and stunned.

She suddenly opened her watery eyes wide in disbelief, and struggled desperately with her hands in panic, but she could not withstand the power of Huo Jiuzhou's palm.

Every cell in her body was resisting this passionate kiss with a hint of coolness, so much so that she could not feel the pain of being bitten by the man at all.

why?

He clearly didn't love her, so why did he treat her like this? Was he drunk?

"Um…"

Her brows were furrowed and her pupils shrank suddenly. Instead of the expected surprise, she was full of resistance.

The man's heart sank, and he simply closed his eyes, savoring the long-lost tenderness.

She had just finished taking a shower, and there was no cheesy smell of luxury shower gel on her body, only a quiet and refreshing rose and magnolia scent.

Her mouth is clean and smooth, her tongue is soft, her teeth are white and fragrant with jasmine. Just like before, she likes to use niche brand toothpaste that freshens her breath.

The room was silent, with only the occasional ambiguous sound of water splashing when Huo Jiuzhou asked for a kiss. Her lips were not delicate and soft, but rather rough and chapped.

But it has an addictive sweetness that makes men fall deeply into it and unable to extricate themselves.

From the initial resistance to the current acceptance of her fate, Shi Rong was not reluctant at all, simply because the situation was unstoppable. She knew very well that no one could stop him, Huo Jiuzhou, from doing what he wanted to do.

Your heart is dead, do you still care about this dirty body?

If he doesn't mind, then take it, as long as he can let her and Shi Yang go...

Seeing that she had stopped struggling, the man thought that she still had feelings for him.

He relaxed his grip, stood up, took off his suit jacket, put his long fingers on the buttons of his black shirt, unbuttoned them one by one, and began to undress slowly.

He had made up his mind that if she could give birth to the great-grandson of the Huo family before Zheng Yuyan, the so-called "granddaughter-in-law of the main house", he would then be able to take her into the concubine room as a matter of course.

The old man has always valued the love between his children the most. The purpose of doing this is to at least save her life.

Shi Rong lay motionless on the bed. She had no idea what the man was thinking, and she knew she could not resist his dominance, so she chose to close her eyes quietly and obediently.

If this disaster was destined to happen tonight, she would just think that Huo Jiuzhou was drunk and mistook her for the conceited Zheng Yuyan.

It's ridiculous to say that, in the past, only others dreamed of replacing her. Since when did she, Shi Chang, fall to the point of having to be someone else's substitute?

It probably started from the night when this man insisted on leaving her...

Throwing away the clothes he had taken off, Huo Jiuzhou curled his thin lips and revealed a nonchalant smile. Of course, he could clearly see the broken feeling of being ready to die on Shi Rong's face.

But this has nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to get the woman in front of him. No matter what she looked like, he wanted to keep her by his side forever, that's all.

The man kissed her passionately like a storm, sliding from the scar on her forehead to the scab on her collarbone.

He kissed and undressed at the same time, and soon stripped off the woman's thin maid uniform, leaving her naked.

Shi Rong clutched the satin bed sheet tightly with both hands, suppressing the intense feeling of humiliation in his chest.

She wanted to tell Huo Jiuzhou so much, if you must do this, you might as well kill me first.

But…no.

She had not yet found out Shi Yang's whereabouts and had not seen him with her own eyes, but he was safe and sound.

His thin lips slid along the delicate soft flesh on his chest to his belly, and he felt the texture between his lips and tongue becoming increasingly rough.

Why is this?

When the man opened his eyes and saw clearly the woman's bruised and battered body, his brown pupils flashed with a murderous cold light in an instant.

He randomly grabbed the movable warm-light night light at hand, and his sharp eyes followed her rough neck, carefully looking down bit by bit.

When the man's dark gaze passed over Shi Ying's plump breasts, his orderly breathing was disordered for three seconds.

He tried his best to suppress the raging desire in his body, turned downwards, and saw that except for the key parts and the surrounding skin, the condition was relatively good.

Shi Rong's entire body was covered with crisscrossing, winding, and twisted new and old scars.

Huo Jiuzhou was about to explode with anger!

Those dark, raised lines were clearly engraved on every inch of her skin, and everything she saw was hideous and terrifying.

“Who did this…”

His low voice was barely perceptible, even trembling with a hint of anger.

Even Shi Rong, who was standing right next to him, couldn't hear it clearly and just thought it was a new habit and interest of men.

Her hands tightly gripped the bed sheet without relaxing for a moment. The more he did so slowly, the more frightened she felt.

Who did it?

The man weakly lowered the night light in his hand.

Who else could it be?

Isn’t he the arrogant and overbearing Huo Jiuzhou from back then?
