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

Looking back, he was overjoyed to see Shi Rong, Shen Mingxing and Xia Zhi standing behind him.

"Shi Rong? Why are you here?"

Ji Xinyue had planned to come here alone tonight to drink away her sorrows, but before she could even take a sip, Shi Rong, who was very observant, came with his men.

Ji Xinyue glanced around with her charming eyes, but couldn't find Shi Yang's tall and straight figure anywhere, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"What method did you come up with to get Shi Yang to leave?"

As expected, the man wanted to stick to Shi Rong 24 hours a day, especially since she was injured.

Shi Rong ignored her fuss, and sat on the high stools on both sides of Ji Xinyue with Shen Mingxing, one on each side. He also arranged Xia Zhi to sit next to him, and then answered slowly.

"Then don't worry about it. The mountain man has his own clever plan."

Ji Xinyue couldn't help but twitch her lips. She knew without thinking what Shi Rong's so-called "clever trick" was.

"You didn't tell him that you were sick or injured and wanted to eat the jujube and yam cake he made, did you?"

After all, Shi Rong had always used this trick to get rid of Shi Yang in the past.

Shi Rong was not shy when someone touched his heart, but nodded without hesitation.

"Yeah, you already know everything, so why are you asking? He bought the ingredients and made it, so it must have taken him three or four hours. We happened to be free, so we came and had a drink with you."

Ji Xinyue was speechless. She reached out to stop Shi Rong from drinking and snatched away her crystal glass containing traditionally brewed white wine.

"Ying Shirong, you're already injured like this, and you're still thinking about drinking? Are you crazy?"

Tsk!

Shi Rong glared at her unhappily and stubbornly took back the wine glass she had taken away.

"My second young lady, can you have some common sense? White wine reduces inflammation. If you don't believe me, ask Xia Zhi."

Xia Zhi, who was trying hard to eat the beautifully presented spicy duck neck in front of her, nodded in agreement when she heard Shi Rong mention her.

"Yes, Xinyue, white wine can reduce inflammation. I asked my father, and it's okay for Rongrong to drink some."

Ji Xinyue was completely speechless now. Anyway, with Xia Zhi, a well-known young Chinese medicine practitioner, around, she was not worried about any accidents happening to Shi Rong.

"cheers."

Shi Rong's wine glass touched the Bloody Mary in Ji Xinyue's palm and winked at her.

"Drink if you want. I know you're in a bad mood."

After saying that, Shi Rong was the first to drink up the wine in his glass, setting a good example.

The four of them drank six cups in a row in silence, and then Ji Xinyue, who was a little more excited, spoke.

"Shi Rong, do you know? Actually, the person I've envied the most since I was a child is you."

While eating the beef fillet fed by Xia Zhi, Shi Rong paused, glanced at her up and down, his face full of suspicion.

"why?"

Ji Xinyue smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Because you're popular! Go ask Huo Jiuzhou why he doesn't want you to return to East City. He knows that once you return to East City and escape his complete control, you'll be surrounded by countless suitors."

Ji Xinyue drank three more glasses of Bloody Mary. The familiar taste made her linger and indulge in it.

"Shi Yang, you know what? Bloody Mary is Shi Yang's favorite drink. He said that the combination of sour, sweet, salty and spicy taste is very similar to the feeling every man has when he breaks up with his first love: deep love, shallow fate, and unrequited love."

"Do you really think that I don't love Shi Yang? No, actually I love him very much. I can say that I love him even more than when I first met Song Qianchen!"

"I wish I could marry him right away, live with him every day, and see him as soon as I open my eyes. But do you know why I chose to give up on him in the end?"

Shi Rong knew very well that the purpose of Ji Xinyue's trip tonight was to vent her sorrow, and he didn't want to stop her. After all, they were all family here, so he just shook his head in cooperation.

"Because he cares about you too much! In this world, no woman can tolerate that her man always has another woman in his heart. Even every time he goes to bed with me, it's because of you."

"what?"

Shi Rong thought that Ji Xinyue would talk nonsense because of being drunk, but he didn't expect that she could be so outrageous.

"Ji Xinyue, are you drunk?"

Ji Xinyue smiled indifferently. She had already said so much and didn't mind telling it all.

"Because I smell like you."

???

Shi Rong was speechless. She was really speechless. Could these people please stop making up stories?

"Ji Xinyue, you know what? If you die one day, it will definitely be because of your bad mouth."

"You don't know what my relationship with your ex-boyfriend is, do you? Why would he sleep with you just because he was attracted to my scent? If he wanted to sleep with him, shouldn't he have slept with me?"

"Hahahaha!"

Shen Mingxing was amused by Shi Rong's straightforward and honest words. She laughed so hard that her body shook with joy.

Ji Xinyue also smiled, but there was a hint of obvious sadness in her smile.

"Do you think he doesn't want to sleep with you? He doesn't have the courage. If he could do it without any scruples, he would be the first man in the world to sleep with you. He would even be more proactive than Huo Jiuzhou."

Shi Rong was completely speechless. She really wanted to sew Ji Xinyue's exposed mouth shut. Before she could open her mouth to refute, Ji Xinyue took the lead and continued to speak freely.

"Of course, this common phenomenon isn't unique to Shi Yang. Go ask Huo Qiye, Xing Jiashan, and Song Qianchen. If that doesn't work, call Chu Yu, who's still working overtime and staying up all night for you, and ask him. Which of them doesn't love you? It's just that they can't say it directly."

After a pause, Ji Xinyue continued.

"As long as they have an opportunity to marry you at the right time and in the right place, they will do it without hesitation and give everything they have."

"Shi Rong, sometimes you really lack confidence."

If Ji Xinyue's words were like a wake-up call to a person in a dream, then Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen, who were mentioned by her, were now trembling with fear and shame.

How dare this woman?

Huo Jiuzhou is still here...

The expected rage had not subsided yet. Instead, the man just pulled up the corner of Xing Jiashan's high-end suit, dragged him in front of him, and looked him in the eye.

"Jiashan, do you all really love Shi Rong?"

There was nothing else to it. Huo Jiuzhou just confirmed it in person, that was all.

But when Xing Jiashan was asked by him, he looked into Huo Jiuzhou's calm brown eyes and felt flustered as if facing a great enemy.

He forced himself to calm down and tried his best to treat what Ji Xinyue said as a fabricated joke.

"Boss, Ji Xinyue is drunk...don't listen to her nonsense..."

"Oh?"

Huo Jiuzhou didn't give him any chance to react and immediately extended a tentative olive branch.
