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

"Let me go! I have nothing to discuss with you."

Shi Rong used all her strength, but she couldn't break free from the man's restraints. He hugged her too tightly, as if he wanted to rub the woman into his body.

"Ah Rong!"

Seeing her stubborn struggle, the man's patience finally ran out.

He protected the woman's straight back with one hand, leaned over and pressed her against the car window, and with the other hand, he lifted her delicate chin forcefully, forcing her to look at him.

"Do you think I really don't dare to kill you?"

She gritted her teeth in hatred.

"You dare! Is there anything in this world that you dare not do? Either you kill me, or you listen to me!"

He imitated her tone and said something similar to hers.

The beautiful eyes were slightly narrowed, and the woman's hands were as soft as long fingers. With two repeated "swish" and "swish" sounds of breaking through the wind, the tip of the knife went straight to his slender white neck again.

"Hey?"

Shen Mingxing and the other two were so anxious that they didn't wait to stop them.

Shi Rong saw that Huo Jiuzhou was calm and composed, not dodging or dodging, and even raised his chin and actively moved forward to meet him, until the tip of the knife pierced his smooth and delicate skin, oozing out a trace of bright red blood.

Almost subconsciously, she quickly retracted the blade, threw it away, and covered her half-open mouth in surprise.

She is such a jerk.

When did this happen?

Why did her mind just flash back to the wonderful time she had spent with him in the mountains and forests six years ago when she was seriously injured?

Every frame showed his infinite tenderness towards her, his sweet words and caring attitude, which made it hard for her to bear the hatred towards him.

It's obvious that just this one blow can end everything.

why?

Until this moment, when she made up her mind to kill Huo Jiuzhou, she was heartbroken to see him bleeding because of her injury.

Shi Rong clearly felt a trace of true love passing through her heart, and she was really sure that she loved him more than she hated him.

For Shi Rong, killing someone only takes two seconds, but if the person is Huo Jiuzhou, she probably won't be able to do it in her lifetime...

"what are you doing!?"

As soon as he realized what was happening, he scolded him, quickly reached out and took out the handkerchief he carried with him, and helped him press the wound that was still bleeding.

His eyes were slightly red, probably a habit he developed when he lived in the Huo family's Lanting.

She couldn't bear to see Huo Jiuzhou getting hurt, as it would hurt the most vulnerable part of her heart.

She is so incompetent...

Shi Rong's momentum gradually weakened, and at the moment when his right hand lost its strength, his slender five fingers slid down decadently.

But the man who noticed all the changes in her eyes reached out to catch it, put it to her thin lips, and kissed her cherishedly and lovingly.

"Ah Rong, you love me. You can't even bear to see me get hurt, so how could you bear to kill me?"

The woman couldn't answer his question directly. She couldn't say it. She couldn't even face herself in such a miserable state.

"You think too much!"

Taking advantage of the moment when the man was kissing her and relaxing, she turned around to escape, but the man acted just in time and held her pretty face in his hands.

His thin lips moved down and gently kissed her lips that were as red as rosy clouds. There was no depth, no force, only a gentle love as deep as the sea.

The man slowly let go of the woman until she had completely calmed down and was immersed in this passionate kiss full of mixed emotions.

"Ah Rong, listen to me, I really love you, from the moment you stepped into the Huo family's Lanting..."

The man had just said one sentence when the woman immediately turned around and interrupted him.

"impossible!"

How could he have treated her like that because he loved her? She would have to be crazy to believe such a thing.

"Yes, it's impossible."

The man stretched out his long arms and pulled her into his arms, his warm body pressed against her cold back.

Shi Rong tilted her head, thinking that he agreed with her point of view, and a hint of joy flashed through her heart. If he admitted it, did it mean that she could leave?

Just as this thought came to my mind, I heard the man speak slowly.

"In your opinion, it is indeed so. The girl I once loved deeply, the one with the stars and the ocean in her eyes, I didn't know she had already transformed into a beautiful and noble butterfly. No, I should say, she has always been one. But for my sake, she had no choice but to stuff herself into a thick chrysalis, disguising herself as a worthless and pathetic creature."

"She told her grandmother that she had fallen in love with a man who was willing to give everything to protect her. She said she wanted nothing more in her life but to be with him forever, even if it meant losing her current living conditions. She was willing to do anything for him. She learned how to kill, how to be a good killer, and she dedicated herself to him, gave up herself, and even sacrificed herself."

"And yet the man who had made the promise to her didn't keep his word. He even wantonly tortured her and arrogantly humiliated her. He arrogantly believed that if he turned around, she would be waiting for him. Little did he know that all his confidence came from her unwavering love for him. So in the end, he paid a heavy price for it."

"He wanted to protect her, marry her legitimately, and treat her as his one and only mistress, but the more he wanted, the less he could do it. Because four years ago, he was incompetent and useless. He couldn't resist the constraints of his family elders. He couldn't get close to her unscrupulously and express his deep love and patience to her."

"Later, when he was able to accomplish things and stand on his own, his lover no longer needed his protection."

"Ah Rong, if you don't understand what the Huo family is like, I can tell you responsibly that as descendants of the Huo family, born to be the North Star, we can only obey my grandfather's orders unconditionally, because only by obeying can we reduce the killing!"

"If I had chosen to keep you, you would have lived a much worse life than you did in South China's Jishan. Grandpa would have tried every possible means to make it impossible for you and Shi Yang to survive. Just like he killed all 28 members of the Shi family because of my trust in you, it would be effortless for him to kill someone."

"How could I bear to let you go to a place like Jishan? But if I send you somewhere else to live temporarily, he will definitely find a way to kill you! Ah Rong, I can't lose you, and I can't lose everything I have in the Huo family. Otherwise, I will no longer have the ability to protect you and survive. Do you think I don't want to give up everything and die with you? But he won't even let me die too easily."

"I can only choose to let you suffer humiliation and pain, as long as it can save your life. Just like the five years you fought with the Ying family for in the beginning, you also know that nothing can be achieved overnight. I need enough time to grow bigger and stronger until I have the strength to fight him."

"Before that, I can only bear with you. The more cruel I am to you, the more flaws he will reveal, and the faster I can rescue you from hell."
