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

Shi Rong was amused by her humble and pleasant appearance, and her laughter was sweet and crisp like a silver bell.

Eh?

Shen Mingxing was caught off guard and startled. She thought Shi Rong would be angry, so why was he smiling?

"Mingxing, look at what you said, then who am I? Didn't you always scold me for not having a good memory? You said I have such a bad memory.

How could I really be angry with my third brother? Don't worry, I've already discussed this matter with Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen.

They will find a way to speak up and help persuade Huo Jiuzhou. As for Huo Yan, I will also have my grandmother contact him personally as soon as possible."

"real!?"

When Shen Mingxing heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

She opened her arms warmly and hugged Shi Ying's slender body tightly, rubbing her little head against her soft belly.

"Thank you, Shi Rong. I knew you were the best~"

The little woman raised her hand, smiling, and touched the back of her smooth hair.

"Between the two of us, do we still need to thank each other?"

After a pause, Shi Rong continued.

"If you really want to thank me, then tell me straight away, which of these two do you choose?"

Shen Mingxing didn't seem to expect that she would suddenly ask about this matter. Even though a long time had passed, she still felt guilty towards Shi Rong when she brought it up again.

Putting away his smile, Shen Mingxing became serious.

"Xiao Er, I'm sorry. I owe you this. I never thought you would know about me and Chu Zhao.

I got so angry that I even injured your hand."

Shen Mingxing helped Shi Rong sit down, and with his delicate fingertips, he gently stroked the side of her palm, where the scar had not yet completely disappeared.

"In fact, until today, I still can't figure out whether I am dependent on Chu Yu or I love him.

I just feel very happy to be with him. It's a kind of happiness that comes from the heart, without pressure or burden.

Maybe it was because in the past, the Huo family always opposed my relationship with Qiye, so in the end, even if Huo Yan personally nodded in agreement, I still felt unwilling.

Think about me, Shen Mingxing. From childhood to adulthood, no matter my family background, appearance, figure or reputation, I have never been criticized by anyone. Only in the Huo family, I was treated unfairly.

This will also help you better understand how you felt when you first arrived at the Huo family's Lanting.

Shi Rong, I never intended to cause trouble to you and my family. It is true that I want to marry Chu Zhao, but it is also true that I can't bear to leave Qi Ye.

I don't know which of the two of them I love more.

But I remember you said that when a person cannot make the right choice at a fork in the road, it means that both paths are wrong.

What’s past is past. I don’t want to look back on it, and I won’t dwell on it. I just want to take things as they come.

If I can't find the person who is most suitable for me in this life, I don't have to marry. "

Shi Rong felt deeply relieved after hearing Shen Mingxing's true thoughts. She couldn't help but pull the woman beside her into her arms and pat her.

"Well~ Our Mingxing has grown up. She is no longer the little girl who only knew how to wear red and green."

Shi Rong's little head rested gently on the top of Shen Mingxing's head which was resting on her shoulder.

"Mingxing, I'm not against you dating Chu Zhao. If you really must be with him, I will do my best to help you.

But have you ever thought about this? From the Huo family's perspective, she is Yiyan's boyfriend, your future brother-in-law.

From the Ying family's perspective, he is my special assistant and the second-in-command of the company.

If your affair with him gets out, Huo Yiyan won't say anything. But what about the second wife? What about Huo Yan? How do you want them to view you?

At present, the elders of the Ying and Huo families are still unaware of this matter. This is why I chose not to make a fuss with the second branch this time.

We're also afraid that if they find out later, we'll be in the wrong and have nothing to say. Mingxing, a mistake is a mistake, and both parties are responsible.

I don't mind you enjoying life in the moment, but I just don't want to see you groveling. Chu Yu is indeed excellent, but he is also a black-hearted person. He has been humiliated many times in the Huo family.

This is destined to make him a player who will never give up until he has revenged himself, which is why he will go crazy and suddenly sleep with you.

Do you think you can be happy in the future if you are with him? Even if you can, it will be just a superficial illusion.

To be fair, considering my current situation, I really have no right to scold you for being confused.

But if you can avoid provoking them, you must try to stay away from them, otherwise you will end up like me, living like a mistress all day long..."

???

When Shen Mingxing heard this, he couldn't help but look at Shi Rong with suspicion.

"Xiao Er, why do you think so? Who is the mistress? You don't think that it's your fault that Big Brother and Chu Zhao treated you like this, do you?"

Shi Xian pouted as a matter of course.

"if not?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Mingxing smiled bitterly.

"Xiao Er, how can this be your fault? Will it be useful if you reject them?"

Shi Rong thought about it and shook his head honestly.

Shen Mingxing said again.

"So, this isn't your fault. Even if someone blames you for this later, they won't be able to find any fault with you.

Because they are the ones who take the initiative, not you.

The most difficult things for humans to control are love and desire. They will fall in love with you uncontrollably and want to be with you desperately.

They may even want to sleep with you. These are things that you can hardly resist and they have no control over.

Yan'er, don't always think that you are a mistress who is afraid to show up in public. You are not, really. If you were, they would be the same.

Of course, you don't need to be too burdened psychologically. What era is this? Not to mention the relationship between you and them, at most it's just kissing, hugging and lifting.

Even if a relationship that shouldn't have happened really happened, it is a perfectly normal phenomenon. You can't turn against them because of such a small matter, right?

After all, they have done you a favor, so don't think like that. Some things, since they have already happened, you should try to accept them.

This is not moral corruption, it is helplessness.”

Even though Shen Mingxing's words made sense, Shi Rong still felt bad.

Shen Mingxing raised his hand, hugged her and comforted her.

"Okay, Rong'er, don't think too much. If they heard this, they would be sad. After all, they have given so much for you.

My eldest brother got divorced because of you, Chu Zhao broke up for you, and even Xing Jiashan and Song Qianchen wanted to be single again.

You said they were deliberately doing this, what was their reason? Aren’t they just afraid that you would really think of yourself as a mistress? Little idiot…”

Seeing Chu Yu packed up and emerged from the passage, Shen Mingxing hurriedly gave Shi Rong a wink.

The latter understood and quickly adjusted himself, with a helpless look on his face, and gave an awkward greeting.

"Are you done washing?"

Chu Yu smiled gently.

"Ah."

Seeing this, Shen Mingxing stood up wisely.

"Okay, it's getting late, you two should go to bed early. I'm going back to my room, good night~"
