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

So much so that Fei Zeyi still couldn't figure it out many years later.

How could a person like Shi Rong combine the polar reversal of low and high, and the combination of hardness and softness, so perfectly and naturally?

Anyway, with his level, he can't do it.

"Sometimes I really admire your tolerance. You can live a better life if you just leave Huo Jiuzhou, so why do you insist on staying with him and suffering? You even take a job like cleaning? Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Embarrassing?

Shi Rong smiled indifferently. She had been with Huo Jiuzhou for several years and had suffered all kinds of torture and humiliation.

In comparison, embarrassment is the least of our worries.

"A man must humiliate himself before others will humiliate him. As long as I don't feel embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed. Many things have their own reasons for staying, and when it's time to leave, they will naturally leave."

Fei Zeyi understood what she meant. After all, the grudge was still unresolved, and she couldn't easily extricate herself.

Seeing that she looked pale and sickly, Fei Zeyi sighed softly, stretched out his arms, and unconsciously pulled the woman into his arms, patting her comfortingly.

"Shi Rong, don't be so stubborn. You may not be impressed by the Huo family, but it's definitely a formidable and powerful entity. I know you have your plans. I'm saying this simply because I hope everything goes well for you. At least, no matter what happens, don't make your life too difficult. Look at your face, how bad it looks."

Accompanied by a pleasant scent of men's cologne, Shi Rong was stunned by Fei Zeyi's hug, but he didn't say anything. He nodded gently, and his watery eyes inadvertently raised and glanced at him.

"After not seeing you for so long, you've become quite the comforter."

Fei Zeyi held her hands tightly and did not let go. It was a rare occasion for him to hear Shi Rong praise him, and he couldn't help but proudly raised his smooth chin towards her.

"Of course! Don't you see who taught you that?"

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious. However, this intimate behavior seemed somewhat ambiguous to outsiders.

Shi Rong calmly withdrew from his arms, seemed to have thought of something, and finally added a sentence.

"I also advise you to put aside your inappropriate thoughts. Your stubborn father will never agree to you being with her. Also, there are differences between men and women. Don't do anything to me that could be easily misunderstood in the future."

If Huo Wanwan found out about this, Shi Rong wouldn't even know how she died.

Her cold and rude appearance made her seem very heartless, but Fei Zeyi seemed to have long been accustomed to her way of speaking.

His handsome face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed by what she said.

"I see. Aren't you already trying to break off the engagement with the Huo family and make her your legal wife?"

Shi Rong couldn't help but twitch his lips. Is she crazy? Is that what she meant?

Forget it, let’s just call off the engagement. Shi Rong’s own life is in danger, so he can only give some advice to others to the point where it counts.

She would be thankful as long as she wasn't involved in this.

"Besides, with our relationship, how could anyone misunderstand us? You're being too stingy..."

As he spoke, Fei Zeyi deliberately reached out his hand and pinched her not-so-smooth face through the mask she had just put on.

"Hey…"

Shi Rong was speechless and glared at him. Just as she was about to avoid him, the man had already taken advantage of her and retracted his hand.

"Who did you learn this from? Can you be more serious? I told you, there are differences between men and women."

Fei Ze rolled his eyes indifferently, then put his mouth close to her ear and whispered softly.

"Of course I learned it from my elder brother~"

Shi Rong was completely speechless, and he also knew who this so-called "big brother" he was calling was.

She was puzzled. Shi Yang had so many strengths and talents. Why couldn't he pick some good ones to learn from?

"If you die one day, it will definitely be a shameful death..."

"Hahahaha!"

Fei Zeyi was amused by her angry words, and his laughter was happy and hearty.

The two chatted for a while and then hurriedly said goodbye to each other, fearing that if they stayed too long, they would attract the attention of someone with ulterior motives.

Fei Zeyi waited at the door for a long time, and only left the bathroom after making sure that no one was around.

Shi Rong also stayed for a while longer. Seeing that no one wanted to come here for the time being, he went back to the utility room as usual to wash the tools in his hands.

They thought they had done everything in secret, but they forgot that this was Huo Jiuzhou's territory. As long as he kept a close eye on it, nothing could escape his eyes.

Sure enough, that night, as soon as people got off work and walked into Chen Ting Villa, they noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and Shi Rong's dark eyes rolled around.

Even in the past, when Huo Jiuzhou was here, there was no such low and oppressive silence in the court.

It was as if everyone here had been pressed to keep silent, and they stood cautiously in the four corners of the living room, each holding their own position.

Even Wu Tanqiu, who usually greeted her warmly every day, only kindly reminded her tonight in a voice that only the two of them could hear when he happened to pass by her.

"Xiao Rong, go up and talk to the young master nicely later. Don't make him angry again."

???

Shi Rong was full of suspicion and glanced at Wu Tanqiu's hurriedly departing back. So, all this sudden change was because of him?

What did she do?

Shi Rong didn’t remember that she had offended Huo Jiuzhou today... This man had never appeared in front of her at all.

With a nervous mood, she walked into the master bedroom on the top floor. The room was dimly lit at this moment, with only a few wall lamps covered with glass and jade on.

The man stood in front of the French window with his back to her. She couldn't make out the murderous expression on his face. All she could see was his suit jacket, tie, cufflinks, and even the belt around his waist, all scattered on the ground.

It can be imagined that he had just lost his temper not long ago. Shi Rong bit his dry lips and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He walked over carefully and bent down to clean up the mess on the ground, but his fingertips didn't touch the edge of the belt.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew past, and the man appeared in front of her in the blink of an eye. Shi Rong was startled and looked up, but she didn't have time to react.

There was a "pop" sound!

The man raised his delicate hand high and slapped her uneven side face hard. She lost her balance and fell to the ground.

The force was so strong that it split open a broken gap at the corner of her fragile and soft mouth, and a streak of dazzling scarlet blood slid down...

Over the years, Shi Rong has experienced many ups and downs, the desolation of which cannot be described even in a book.

But never before had she been caught off guard and left feeling devastated like this...

Huo Jiuzhou hit her?
