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

"Sister-in-law! Don't talk about yourself like that. How can you say your life is cheap? If you're not cheap, don't talk nonsense! I'll kill anyone who dares to say your life is cheap!"

Huo Yiyan took a few steps forward, hugged her and tried to coax and persuade her.

"That's right, if you want to scold me, just scold me, but why do you have to scold yourself too? That's so harsh. Don't be angry, it's my fault, okay? I will definitely change next time."

Shi Rong ignored their advice. She was already used to lowering herself in front of others.

Just by looking at the woman's expression changing faster than turning the pages of a book, he twitched his lips in silence.

"Hey~ Are you not angry anymore?"

Huo Yiyan smiled awkwardly, helped the woman in a flattering manner, and went to sit at her office.

"Oh, how dare I get angry? You've explained it so clearly, it's not like I don't understand."

Shi Rong rolled her eyes, thinking that these people from the Huo family would really cause trouble for her.

"Also, didn't you say that as long as I do what you ask, you will agree to that thing?"

Huo Yiyan took out a box of simple black cigarettes with English letters printed on them from her designer handbag and gave one to Shi Rong under Xing Jiashan's shocked gaze.

The latter raised her eyebrows. "The summit of the other shore?" When did this woman learn to smoke?

Shi Rong didn't answer.

"I only smoke when I'm out on a mission."

Who cares about her many characteristics?

Huo Yiyan clenched her fingers together, and placed the pure black pipe with blue butterflies and white flowers painted on it next to Shi Heng's lips.

The mechanical pulley lighter in his right hand slid out a flame and helped her light it.

"Hey…"

Xing Jiashan wanted to stop it, but felt it was inappropriate. He didn't mind. Shi Rong was beautiful no matter what.

But the boss doesn't like women smoking after all... He was afraid that Huo Jiuzhou would get angry with Shi Rong because of this.

As if seeing through his intentions, Shi Rong took a simple puff to save face for Huo Yiyan, with wisps of green smoke rising and falling from his red lips.

She picked it up with two slender fingers and handed it to Xing Jiashan.

"You smoke it."

Xing Jiashan nodded and took it. Instead of being disgusted, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Shi Rong retracted his fingertips and tapped rhythmically on the walnut table in front of him, continuing the topic that Huo Yiyan had just asked.

"I told you, you won't see anything in a few days. You need to persist for a long time."

Huo Yiyan was so angry that she blew out smoke rings. She thought Shi Rong did it on purpose.

"But I'm already getting along well with Chu Zhao. I even sold my body for this. What else do you want me to do?"

Shi Rong was amused by her unreasonable arguments and sneered.

"Oh? Didn't they make you happy while you were giving away your body?"

Huo Yiyan was stunned. Chu Yu was a bit mean, but when it came to his skills in bed, he was impeccable.

"Yes."

Shi Rong laughed again.

"That's it, isn't it? It's something that can benefit both parties, so why don't you just tell me about it?"

"When I ask you to get along well with him, I mean you should treat him as a marriage partner and have a pleasant relationship with him. Do you think you two are happy?"

"You almost slapped someone to death with that one, how dare you tell me that?"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Although Xing Jiashan didn't know what happened between the two women, he was really amused by Shi Rong's humor.

He held a cigarette, covered his face, and laughed so hard that his stomach hurt.

Huo Yiyan also laughed, and raised her hand to hit her embarrassedly.

"Oh...wasn't I drunk? Besides, I didn't hit him on purpose..."

Shi Rong was speechless.

"Who cares about you, Miss? Anyway, you were the one who broke the agreement between us first, so this time doesn't count. We'll talk about it next time."

"Hey?"

Huo Yiyan was completely fed up. She threw the cigarette butt in her hand out in annoyance.

"Ying Shirong, you're being unreasonable! I didn't ask you to do anything else for me, and you just let me see him. Is that so difficult?"

Shi Rong knew very well who this so-called "he" that Huo Yiyan was talking about, and nodded repeatedly as if he was deliberately trying to irritate her.

"It's hard."

"you…!"

Huo Yiyan was so angry that she wanted to run away on the spot, but considering that Xing Jiashan was still there, she could only turn her resentment into aggrieved inquiries.

"why?"

Shi Rong stood up, turned his head and gave her a meaningful look, serious and solemn.

"No reason. You know very well that if your grandfather finds out about this one day, I will die miserably."

"Huo Yiyan, I'm warning you, if you want me to live for two more days, put away those thoughts that you shouldn't have. Marrying Chu Yu is your best choice right now."

Seeing that she was about to open her mouth to refute, Shi Rong stretched out a smooth finger and touched her beautiful face.

"Or, if you just don't like Chu Yu, it's not impossible to choose someone of equal status to marry."

"Think carefully, are you with Chu Yu because of the agreement between you and me, or is it because you have him in your heart that you can't help but want to get closer to him?"

"So much so that you were forced to sleep with him and couldn't bear to get angry with him."

Shi Rong's enlightened remarks successfully calmed down Huo Yiyan, who was originally agitated.

She fell in love with Chu Zhao? How is that possible?

Before he could come back to his senses, Shi Rong continued to add.

"I'll repeat what I often said to Fei Zeyi in the past. Some people are gone once you miss them. Don't wait until you lose them completely to realize how precious they are to you."

After saying that, Shi Rong turned around and left without mercy, leaving Huo Yiyan alone, who stood there thinking for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, Yiyan..."

On the way back, Shi Rong did not take the elevator. Instead, she took the fire escape and walked upstairs. The reason was that she knew Xing Jiashan would definitely ask.

Turning her head sideways, Shi Rong looked at the man who was carefully supporting her.

"You guessed right. Huo Yiyan has a man she has kept in her heart and loved for many years. That man is not Chu Yu, but as for who it is, I cannot tell you directly unless she is willing to tell you."

"You just need to know that Mr. Huo will never agree to let Huo Yiyan be with this person."

After a few words, Shi Rong continued to climb the stairs.

"But...this matter sounds like it has something to do with you. You should at least explain it to me clearly. What if I can help you?"

Xing Jiashan was not interested in Huo Yiyan's privacy. He was not as gossipy as Chu Yu.

But if it was a matter of time, he would be eager to learn more, mainly because he was worried that something might happen to this little woman.

This was something he couldn't accept. After all, he had seen Huo Yan's methods before.

Afraid that she would disagree, Xing Jiashan added another sentence.

"Even if you don't tell me now, the boss will ask me when we get back. You know his temper."

Shi Rong looked back, full of doubts.

"Why is he asking me? He can't hear my conversation with Huo Yiyan."
