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

At first, Xing Jiashan did ask about Xia Zhi's family affairs.

The explanation she gave at the time was that her parents and relatives were not developing in the local area of ​​Beicheng, and were often away on business trips with uncertain return dates. They were just an ordinary family running a small business.

But they could see that Xia Zhi was definitely not a girl from an ordinary family. Her knowledge, good manners, and elegance were secondary.

The point is, what ordinary girl would appear in a Chanel suit and KUKI sneakers? Even her bag is a famous French luxury brand? And she would wear different pearl and jade jewelry every day?

But Xia Zhi also said: Those were all bought with her own money.

No one would believe her nonsense!

But Xing Jiashan couldn't find any clear information about her family background.

I asked the boss for help, but didn't get the ideal response. I only knew that the Xia family was currently in the pharmaceutical business, and I didn't know anything else.

This is very similar to Shen Mingxing and Ji Xinyue. All three of them are the same. Their family backgrounds are mysterious. They either can't say it or don't want to say it.

Xing Jiashan sometimes even wondered if this was a secret agreement between the three of them, clearly not wanting outsiders to know the true situation at home.

But he is not an outsider, he is now Xia Zhi's serious boyfriend~

"Gardenia, there's something I want to tell you."

On the way to send her home, Xing Jiashan hesitated for a long time and finally decided to discuss with her the meeting between the two parents.

"Okay, go ahead."

Xia Zhi turned off the phone that was still scrolling through funny videos, and her inquiring gaze fell on her handsome boyfriend beside her.

"Well... that's right. I told my parents about you before. They both think you're great and that we should find a suitable opportunity for you to meet my uncle and aunt. If possible, they want us to get engaged as soon as possible... After all, I'm not young anymore."

"What!?"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, stunned on the spot, feeling that the whole sky was about to collapse!

Realizing that his reaction was too intense, Xia Zhi coughed twice, tried to calm down, and politely declined.

"Jiashan, I don't mean to refuse your invitation. I'm really happy that my uncle and aunt are satisfied with me. However, my father has been very busy recently and hasn't been home yet..."

After thinking for a while, Xia Zhi rolled his eyes and continued.

"How about this, give me another two months, um... three months at most! I'll contact my family and give you a clear answer as soon as possible, okay?"

Xia Zhi didn't know how she ended up sleeping in Xing Jiashan's bed that night after getting drunk out of heartache over Shi Rong's tragic experiences in recent years.

In short, the fact that the two of them were together was indeed hasty, but Xia Zhi's love for Xing Jiashan was not hasty. After all, he was a rare other half in life.

"Gardenia, don't be nervous. I'm not particularly anxious either. I'll listen to you."

Xing Jiashan didn't think much about it when he heard her say that.

Not to mention two or three months, he could even wait a few years. He just wanted to take the opportunity to learn more about Xia Zhi's family affairs.

Reaching out, the man touched her head lovingly and took her into his arms.

"Hey, okay~"

Xia Zhi lay obediently in Xing Jiashan's spacious arms, pretending nothing had happened and smiling sweetly.

……

A deep courtyard in the mountains.

"Xiao Rong, tomorrow is the day to go out and buy daily necessities for the family. The young master asked you to take us with you."

While Huo Jiuzhou was having dinner, he called her and told her that the company had a regular meeting tonight and it would not end until very late, so he would not be back.

Shi Rong had a rare moment to relax. She was sitting on the edge of the bed, reading a book that Wu Tanqiu had found for her.

"I see."

She hasn't left the house for two months, and she doesn't know what Huo Jiuzhou is up to.

The next morning, I put on a matching hat and mask, and after many days, I finally breathed the free air outside the door.

"Xiao Rong, we've already bought everything. The young master said that if you feel too bored at home, you can go shopping for a while. Huo Yan will take care of you."

With three more people going out to purchase, Wu Tanqiu's trip became much faster.

Seeing that it was still early, he symbolically pointed to the man in black who was following Shi Rong like a shadow not far behind her.

"I see."

Shi Rong watched Wu Tanqiu and his men leave, then he picked a few streets and alleys with less traffic near the convenience store and walked around them one by one.

Now that I don’t have to do physical work every day, I don’t get enough exercise to keep my body fit. I’m a little uncomfortable with it, and it’s quite embarrassing when I think about it.

"Madam, Mr. Huo has instructed that if you have anything you want to buy, you can take it home."

When Huo Yan spoke, Shi Rong was startled. It was not his unexpectedly respectful tone, but the two words of address that caught him off guard.

Shi Rong turned around and glanced at him suspiciously, as if he was looking at a scary monster.

"Who are you calling Madam?"

Huo Yan paused again and again, feeling awkward for a long time. Finally, he could only point silently at Shi Rong.

???

Is he not sick?

This was Shi Rong's first subconscious reaction.

I wonder if it's okay to change the name? But as you can imagine, Huo Yan's words don't count.

Well, it’s just an unfounded title. As long as he is happy, she can pretend not to hear it.

Shi Rong was not happy about Huo Jiuzhou's generosity towards her or his sudden change of attitude. Instead, she felt a trace of bitterness in her heart.

It would have been nice if the honorable title of "Mrs. Huo" could have been used four years ago when she was still with him.

Now, his belated love only makes Shi Rong feel inexplicably fearful and redundant.

"Shi Rong? Why are you here?"

As luck would have it, Shi Rongren was still strolling around Nanjiao Street when he bumped into Fei Zeyi who had just gotten out of a Maserati on the side of the road.

Seeing that the person following her was Huo Yan, Fei Zeyi understood that Huo Jiuzhou was asking someone to watch her every day. He was wondering why he kept leaving messages to this woman but she never replied.

"Come out for a stroll."

Shi Rong stopped about one and a half meters away from him.

I haven't seen him for many days, but he's still so handsome and elegant. It seems like he's been living a good life recently.

"Um... I have a few words to tell you. Is it free for you now?"

Fei Zeyi asked this question deliberately for Huo Yan to hear. He knew that without Huo Jiuzhou's permission, Shi Rong could not go anywhere.

Seeing the woman in front of him looking at him meaningfully, Huo Yan understood what she meant and immediately took out the cell phone from his pocket and called his boss.

After whispering a few words, he turned around and turned on the loudspeaker. He moved closer to Shi Rong's face, and then Huo Jiuzhou's magnetic and pleasant voice came from inside.

"20 minutes."
