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

She shook her head, picked up the bucket, and continued to climb the ladder to wipe the dust off the roof.

"Master, Shi Rong's complexion has been getting worse day by day recently. I was thinking, should we send a few more maids to Chen Ting to help her?"

Wu Tanqiu followed the order and informed Huo Jiuzhou of Shi Rong's recent situation one by one. This was done every time there was a different change in her.

"Oh?"

Huo Jiuzhou responded absentmindedly. He couldn't handle just this level of intensity? It was still a million miles away from his ideal.

"I'll be there later."

"Okay, Master."

79th floor of Zhaoqian Building.

"Brother, Yunshang Entertainment's financial statements for this quarter."

When Huo Qiyene came in from outside, Huo Jiuzhou had just hung up a phone call. He seemed to be in a bad mood. It was obvious that it must be related to Shi Rong, whom he had not seen for many years.

"what happened to you?"

Huo Qiye is the second son of the second branch of the Huo family. He has an older sister, Huo Yiyan, who is from the same mother.

He is the third child in the family. He is gentle, kind and tactful.

"fine."

Huo Jiuzhou's slightly lonely eyes swept over the younger brother in front of him, who looked 30% similar to him.

There are some things that it's better for him not to know.

Huo Qiye is a sunny, handsome and modest gentleman, and he and Huo Jiuzhou are two completely different types.

One is as cold as ice, the other is as scorching as the sun.

His facial features were soft and his lines were clear, as if they were a piece of jade carefully carved by a famous artist. His skin was flawless and as smooth as silk, and his eyes were bright and sparkling brown, filled with a gentle glow.

His words and actions always make people feel warm and at ease. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth seem to show the whole world his inner kindness.

His existence almost healed all the misfortunes that happened to Shi Rong when he was in the Huo family's Lanting.

Therefore, Shi Rong was always grateful to this "third brother" whose status was much higher than his.

"Is Xiao Rong... okay?"

Huo Qiye knew that his eldest brother was very busy with all kinds of affairs, and he wanted to send the child over and leave, but he was still worried about the little girl next door who called him "Third Brother" with a sweet voice three years ago.

"You miss her?"

Huo Jiuzhou's long fingers did not pause as he flipped through the report, and his indifferent tone did not reveal any sadness or joy, as if he was just conducting a routine inquiry with someone.

"Yes, but this is out of a deep brotherly love. Big brother, please don't be jealous~"

He is almost 27 years old, but he still speaks in such a naive way. Huo Jiuzhou curled the corners of his lips and smiled with a little helplessness.

"Qiye, do you have a crush on someone?"

Boring!

Huo Qiye curled his lips. Every time someone asked him about it, his elder brother would change the subject. Straight men without romance were the most boring, but he still admitted it generously.

"Ah."

"Shen Mingxing?"

Huo Jiuzhou hit the nail on the head, catching Huo Qiye off guard.

"How did you know, brother?"

The man avoided answering, put down the report he was reading, waved his hand, and signed his name on the last page with a flick of his pen, then threw it into the man's arms.

"You know Grandpa won't let you two be together."

Huo Qiye took the folder containing the report, and his handsome face struggled with loss for a moment.

"I know."

"You still like it even though you know it?"

Huo Jiuzhou stood up, walked in front of him, stretched out his long finger, and tapped his beautifully curved chest.

"Qiye, let it go as soon as possible."

"Brother, can you let go of Shi Rong?"

Huo Qiye looked up, his bright and delicate eyes filled with hope.

"You are different from me."

The man's calmness and composure, which makes things more obvious, is the best answer.

He can't let go, and he won't let go!

"There's no difference. I love Mingxing as much as you love Shirong."

Huo Qiye stubbornly retorted that he would never give up easily before everything was settled.

Just like my eldest brother back then, if he hadn't given up on Shi Rong, perhaps everything would be different today.

"Mingxing was initially just a small trainee in Yunshang Entertainment, but her achievements as the most popular star in the entertainment industry today are all due to her own hard work. Grandpa will understand."

He knows nothing!

Huo Jiuzhou smiled bitterly. His so-called perseverance was just asking for trouble in front of the old man of the Huo family.

"Have you thought about it?"

"Ok!"

Huo Qiye didn't even hesitate for a moment and nodded heavily.

He would not give up on Shen Mingxing, even though that woman was a notorious "venomous-tongued actress" in the North City business circle, sharp-tongued, arrogant, and extremely difficult to pursue...

7:15 pm.

The Rolls-Royce Zhouji drove into the mountain courtyard on time.

Since Huo Jiuzhou was going to have dinner here tonight, Wu Tanqiu had already started preparing the necessary ingredients with Shi Rong before 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

A total of 18 special dishes combining Chinese and Western elements were prepared, including Asian-style baked chicken, slow-roasted beef ribs, wine-braised mussels, crispy crab cakes, French onion soup, Lorraine quiche, pan-fried fish fillet, and flamed wine lees.

The two of them were busy for the entire afternoon just preparing the menu for Huo Jiuzhou.

Shi Rong's lower back was so tired that he couldn't even straighten up, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't even breathe.

This person's dinner cost almost as much as the ancient emperor's regulations, and I don't know what to do with the remaining 40-odd people's food.

Shi Rong really didn't understand whether he came to eat or to cause trouble. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like Huo Jiuzhou was deliberately making things difficult for him.

"Who did it?"

The man took off his coat, unbuttoned two buttons of his black shirt, and sat down at the head of the table, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin on his chest.

"Xiao Rong did it."

Wu Tan, Qiu and Shi Rong stood on Huo Jiuzhou's left and right, very respectfully.

"Did she set the table too?"

The man pointed at his side, where neatly arranged dining knives and forks, cups, bowls, plates and chopsticks were laid out.

"Yes."

The three of them said nothing more, and the man seemed very satisfied with Shi Rong's actions.

Although he didn't even look at her the whole time, he just treated her as a transparent tool that no longer existed.

After taking off the diamond cufflinks worth a fortune, Huo Jiuzhou casually picked up a platinum cutlery he usually used with his long fingers and began to eat slowly.

I tasted almost every dish made by Shi Rong carefully.

There had never been such an opportunity before. This was the first time Huo Jiuzhou had tasted Shi Rong's cooking skills since they met.

The eight delicacies are delicious and have endless flavors.

It is delicious and rich, which will whet your appetite.

She is really good at it. I didn't realize before that Shi Rong has potential in this area.

A man blessed by God, with a golden hall and jade horses, even his behavior when eating is so elegant that it is intoxicating.

However, at this moment, Shi Rong had no intention of watching.

Somehow, maybe she was too tired.

In a trance, she suddenly felt extreme discomfort in her body, as if a powerful force was wreaking havoc in her body, making it difficult for her to stay awake and making her feel painful and tormented.

Her little face was as pale as paper, completely bloodless, cold sweat gradually seeped out of her forehead, and her lips became dull and lifeless.
