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

"sit down."

Ai Rou pointed to the sofa next to her, stood up, poured her a cup of hot water, and considerately put it into her cold little hand.

"Sister Rou, I don't plan to do this anymore after this week, so I wanted to come and say goodbye to you."

Shi Rong was flattered and took the glass of water. He pulled down his mask and took a sip. The temperature was just right.

"Is that so? I thought you had something important that you wanted to ask me for help. This is a good thing. After all, you are still in your prime. Working in a place like this, even if it's just as a cleaner, it wouldn't be nice to tell others about it. Sister Rou is happy for you~"

As she spoke, Ai Rou couldn't help but reach out and playfully poked her not-so-smooth little face.

Shi Rong forced a smile, and after some hesitation, he decided to ask the question that had been on his mind for a long time.

"Sister Rou, I've been working here for over three months now. Thanks to your care, I've been able to avoid a lot of hardship. But I don't quite understand why you're so nice to me."

This was the first time Shi Rong spoke so much to Ai Rou after coming to Huating Shengshi.

The latter thought about it and finally gave a relatively reasonable explanation.

"Because you are a rare good employee~"

Having said that, Ai Rou couldn't help but let out a sigh.

"I've seen too many girls your age here. They're either beauties or princesses, or at the very least, makeup artists. But I've never seen a cleaner who just turned 22."

After a pause, Ai Rou gently pulled Shi Rong's slightly rough little hands over, placed them on her snow-white thighs and patted them, as if she was comforting her, but also as if she was speaking frankly.

"Shi Rong, just as I said when I first met you, you are truly outstanding. Most outsiders rely on their family background, appearance, or figure to attract others' attention, but you have earned everyone's respect through your own efforts. This is not an easy task. At least in my opinion, you must have worked harder than others to receive such attention."

Ai Rou's exaggerated words made Shi Rong silent for a long time.

She felt that since she came to the Huo family, most of the people she met were gentlemen; only Huo Jiuzhou was a unique executioner.

Maybe there are many things that she shouldn't have done from the beginning. If she hadn't done them, there wouldn't be the result today.

"Thank you, Sister Rou."

Ai Rou raised her hand and touched her head, her charming and tender eyes full of loving care.

"You don't have to thank me, but Shi Rong, you have to understand one thing. The reason why there are always people in this world who slander and defame you is because they themselves are not as good as you. Someone who is worse than you will never have the extra time to do such things, just like you."

After listening to this, Shi Rong nodded in agreement, and then there was a period of casual conversation in a harmonious atmosphere.

When he returned to the mountain courtyard, it was already 1 a.m. He packed up, washed up, and went into the master bedroom.

Seeing Huo Jiuzhou still sitting in the leather swivel chair behind the desk busy working, Shi Rong was in a dilemma for a moment.

But she was also curious, why didn't this man get angry with her today like he did in the past?

I thought she had just beaten Huo Wanwan last night, and she would be dead when she came back here.

"come over."

The man reviewed several documents in a row and waited for a long time. The woman didn't take the initiative to speak to him, so he beckoned to her.

The tone was neither serious nor gentle.

Shi Rong bit his lip and wiped the sweat off his hands. He felt an inexplicable fear in his heart, but in the end, he resigned himself to his fate and walked over.

Before the person even reached him, he stretched out his long arms and brought her into his arms, and his lower body followed suit, sitting on one of his taut thighs.

Shi Rong was startled by his sudden behavior. Seeing that his hands were tightly around her waist in an ambiguous manner, she was a little uncomfortable with such enthusiasm and did not dare to look up at him.

"Did you hit Wanwan today?"

When the man spoke again, even though his voice was deep and sexy and his expression was as handsome as usual, Shi Rong felt a chill down his spine for no reason.

He really came here to ask for punishment...

"Well, I'm sorry."

After hesitating for a while, Shi Rong nodded in acknowledgment, his brows drooping even more.

"Are you afraid of me?"

The man's deep brown eyes looked up and down at the woman sitting in his arms inquiringly.

In the past, she really hoped that Huo Jiuzhou could be like this, hugging her tightly every time even when he was busy at work.

What's going on now? Has she been cold for too long? Has she still not adapted?

"Ah...no."

Not a shit!

After Shi Rong finished speaking, he fiercely refuted what he had said in his heart.

But if she said yes, the man would probably turn around and kick her down from the building, either killing her or crippling her.

"That's good, come work with me."

The man curled his lips lightly, ignoring the questioning look she gave him.

He picked up the pen at hand and began to write on the last page of the contract with his name in a bold and heroic handwriting.

……

What does it mean?

Are you mad already?

After all this time, you only asked this question about Huo Wanwan?

It seemed that no matter how good Huo Jiuzhou was to her, Shi Rong would consciously believe in her heart that this was the calm before the storm.

"Go to sleep."

Shi Rong still couldn't figure it out until he finished taking a shower and went to bed, holding her in his arms as before.

From the time she hit Huo Wanwan until now, what went wrong that made this man, contrary to his usual behavior, tolerate her?

The Huo family's Lanting side yard villa.

"Madam, Miss Seven has been hiding in her room since she came back last night and has refused to go out. I went to the Wan Courtyard to ask, and the servants said she was in a bad mood and didn't even eat breakfast."

Normally at this time, Huo Wanwan would have come to chat with Zheng Yuyan.

It was also through her that Zheng Yuyan was able to know more about her husband Huo Jiuzhou's personal movements in a timely manner.

She thought that since she had picked a fight with Shi Rong last night, she would hate her even more, so she could continue to win her over to help her deal with Shi Rong.

But... he didn't come for two days in a row, which made Zheng Yuyan lose her composure.

"When we sent someone to Jishan to deliver the medicine, did you watch her take it with your own eyes?"

At this moment, Zheng Yuyan was sitting contentedly on the sofa in the living room, enjoying the highest level of service from her two private manicurists.

Since the room was full of her own people, there was no need for her to continue to work in vain and pretend to be blind.

"Is there something wrong with your eyesight? This diamond isn't bright enough. Hurry up and change it for a brighter one!"

These two world-class professional manicurists were completely speechless. If it weren't for the good professional qualities ingrained in their bones, they would have definitely turned against Zheng Yuyan on the spot.

"Okay, ma'am."
