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

Now, it was Huo Yiyan's turn to be speechless.

"Then why are you paying attention to him? You should slap him in the face."

"Hahaha!"

Shi Rong was amused by her righteous words, and his laughter was melodious and lingering.

"I'm going to slap him in the face."

Shi Rong pointed to the distance, where the sun was shining brightly high in the clear sky.

"Tomorrow, I may not be able to enjoy such good sunshine."

???

Huo Yiyan came closer to her with a charming face.

"Not really? You really can't beat him? Why don't I believe it? Besides, it's not like you haven't beaten him before."

Shi Rong curled his lips in silence.

"It's best not to do anything you're not sure of."

……

"Boss, it's been two days, and you still haven't taken down the sister-in-law?"

Today's lunch is the teppanyaki barbecue that Huo Jiuzhou prepared specially for Shi Rong.

When it was almost time for dinner, the three men automatically stopped their unfinished work, went into the inner room, and made preparations for the meal.

Huo Jiuzhou shook his head silently, looking unhappy, and no one knew what he was thinking.

He put the marinated snow-flake beef on the hot iron plate and roasted it until it sizzled.

Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen were stunned on the spot.

How on earth could he resist touching Shi Rong, a beauty like her, when he was facing her all day long?

If it were the two of them, they would torment her more than ten times a night, and it still wouldn't be enough...

"Boss, if it really doesn't work, just be tough. Just take him down first! Wait until your sister-in-law gets pregnant with a boy or a girl. Then everything will fall into place, right?"

Xing Jiashan nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Song Qianchen.

"Yeah, it's so uncomfortable if you keep holding it in like this."

Huo Jiuzhou raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them indifferently. There was no extra emotion in his slightly cold gaze.

"I'm already tough."

He was so tough that Shi Rong began to feel disgusted by his closeness.

"what?"

The two looked at each other, puzzled.

"What about my sister-in-law? Does she really have no physiological reaction at all?"

It shouldn’t be!

Song Qianchen had taught him so much before, and his skills in bed were first-rate. Any other woman would have been unable to bear it if they had just done what he said.

"Yes, but not much. I've touched it."

Tsk!

Song Qianchen smacked his lips helplessly. Could this woman be...

"Frigidity?"

Huo Jiuzhou shook his head firmly.

"will not."

Then Song Qianchen was even more confused.

With Huo Jiuzhou's enchanting and charming looks that can captivate everyone, not only those brainless and crazy girls, but any man with a slightly deviant personality and hobbies will be attracted to him.

Why was Shi Rong unmoved?

After thinking for a long time, Xing Jiashan understood.

"That means you haven't put in enough effort, Boss. I think you can increase the intensity and try more."

When Shi Rong finished chatting with Huo Yiyan, he was attracted by the fragrant smell of barbecue as soon as he walked in.

"What are you...?"

At that time, with strong curiosity, Rong walked into the dining room in the inner room. Huo Jiuzhou was still concentrating on helping her grill meat.

"Are you back, sister-in-law? Come in quickly. We're having barbecue for lunch today. The boss grilled it for you himself!"

When Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen saw the main person coming, they hurriedly and eagerly greeted him, pulled him in, and sat him down at the second seat at the table.

???

Huo Jiuzhou...help her grill meat?

Did she hear it correctly?

Shi Rong looked up and down at the man with suspicion, who was smiling gently at her.

"this…"

Shi Rong awkwardly gathered her hair, letting her bangs fall down on her temples.

How could she be so worthy...

"Ah Rong, try it."

When she wasn't paying attention, the man stuffed a piece of barbecued meat that was about 70% hot into her mouth.

Shi Xian chewed dully.

Not to mention, the meat is marinated with just the right amount of saltiness, is tender and flavorful, and is roasted to the perfect temperature, with a rich, burnt aroma. Paired with the unique fatness of the marbling Wagyu beef that is not greasy, it makes your mouth water. It is truly a rare delicacy.

"good to eat."

Under the expectant gaze of Xing and Song, Shi Rong gave a compliment from the bottom of his heart.

“It’s much more delicious than what I make.”

Huo Jiuzhou helped her pick up several more pieces of roasted meat and put them on her exclusive plate.

"eat more."

Shi Rong nodded.

"it is good."

Seeing this, Song Qianchen took over the unfinished work in Huo Jiuzhou's hands with a long look and pushed him to sit next to Shi Rong.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, when we were in the special forces, we couldn't eat barbecue."

Xing Jiashan also stood up to help and took over his conversation.

"Yes, but the three of us are greedy. We can't adapt if we don't have a good meal. The eldest brother has no choice but to take us to the ranch near the army, buy whole cattle and sheep, and roast them for us to eat."

When Shi Rong heard this, he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands.

As far as she knew, the conditions in the advanced special forces unit were a bit harsh, but they were not so harsh that they had no meat to eat.

"Is there no oil or salt in the food?"

This was the only reason Shi Rong could think of as to why they couldn't eat.

Song Qianchen nodded frantically.

"Yes, in order to ensure that our muscle mass is not affected by food, our superiors have basically made every meal into a watery soup. That's simply not something a living person can eat."

Shi Rong curled the corners of his mouth and said, "According to them, the food in Jishan, South China is called pig food."

She turned her gentle gaze to the man beside her who was still helping her pick up food.

"Then why go?"

Huo Jiuzhou stuffed a mouthful of pork ribs into his mouth and chewed it twice elegantly.

"Because passion, like loving you, has no reason."

puff…

Shi Rong licked her moist lips awkwardly. She really shouldn't have asked that question.

Such a straightforward confession doesn't seem like something Huo Jiuzhou would say.

Upon hearing this, Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen gave Huo Jiuzhou a thumbs up in praise where Shi Rong couldn't see.

Children can be taught!

If things continue like this, he'll be able to become a master soon! He's even better at flirting than Song Qianchen!

"Special forces have an ordinary yet profound charm. I think a man's life, besides guarding the ones he loves, is about experiencing all kinds of life."

"The military is the best choice. There, I can get close to the beautiful mountains and rivers of my motherland, and I can also improve myself and realize the value that everyone should have."

"Understand the meaning of 'Life is endless, time is cyclical, all things change, only humans remain eternal.'"

It was rare for Huo Jiuzhou to say so many things from his heart at once. Perhaps only in front of Shi Rong could he truly let down his guard and speak wittily.

At least Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen had never seen him say these words before.

Endless life?

Only humans are evergreen?

After listening to this, Shi Rong remained silent for a long time. After a while, she suddenly asked a question.

"Huo Jiuzhou, do you like children?"

Eh?

Xing and Song were shocked. Wasn't her tone too quick?

This is promising!

The man's face turned red when she asked him this question, and he looked shy. This was the first time that Shi Rong saw such a shy expression on Huo Jiuzhou's face.
