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

Shi Rong understood.

What he meant was that no matter how much Fei Zeyi had to say, he could only speak for 20 minutes.

This was also the longest time he could tolerate Fei Zeyi staying with Shi Rong.

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, the two of them walked leisurely side by side along the deserted street below.

Fei Zeyi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Huo Yan and the group of men in black not far away did not follow him this time, but chose to stay where they were and wait.

"Oh my god, is it really that serious? Is Huo Jiuzhou afraid that you'll run away? He even has to find a bunch of people to watch you when you go out? It's such a big scene, there must be at least 20 or 30 people, right? Who are they guarding against? Besides, Shi Rong, when did you become so easy to talk to? Being watched so closely every day, don't you feel annoyed?"

As Fei Zeyi spoke, he took out a small piece of paper with a bank card on it from his pocket and quietly handed it to Shi Rong beside him.

If he didn't say it, Shi Rong would automatically ignore the group of people behind Huo Yan. After he said that, she really felt annoyed, but what could she do?

Not to mention walking out of the villa in Shanjian Chenting, even if she just wandered around the courtyard on a daily basis, this group of people would automatically appear around her and she couldn't get rid of them, as if they would disappear on the spot if she didn't keep an eye on them.

"Xia Zhi is looking for you again?"

Shi Rong did not answer his question, but took it and put it away calmly. Just like last time, she put it in her pocket without even looking at it. She knew that now was not the time to look at it.

"Yeah, since I'm the only one with nothing to do all day, she has no choice but to come to me."

After a pause, Fei Zeyi stopped, turned to face Shi Rong, and made a belated apology.

"I'm sorry, Shi Rong. I never thought that my going to the Huo family to break off the engagement would eventually implicate you. I heard that Huo Jiuzhou beat you severely because of it. Are you okay? Are you okay?"

Shi Rong knew that Fei Zeyi would not risk coming to her if he didn't have something important to say.

I guess this is why he came over today and pretended to meet me by chance when he learned that I was going out.

The woman curled her lips nonchalantly, her eyes calm and clear, without a trace of sadness.

"I was born into hell. Some things, one more or one less, make no difference to me. You don't need to feel guilty. I'm fine. Everyone has to pay for their past mistakes, no matter who they are."

Fei Zeyi looked at Shi Rong's calm face. She was only 22 years old this year. When did she start to act so old?

She was even more steady than when Fei Zeyi first met her. There was a feeling of pity mixed with pain in his heart, spreading unrestrainedly.

"Shi Rong, have you really never thought about leaving him? How about I take you away? Don't make the same mistake again. Believe me, you are definitely not a woman who can be easily manipulated by anyone, and you are not suitable to stay here."

Shi Rong raised his head and looked at him as if he were a lunatic.

What kind of crazy talk is this guy talking about?

"Do you think you can beat Huo Jiuzhou?"

Tsk!

Fei Zeyi rolled his eyes, furious at her light-hearted questioning.

"Can I ask you for a favor? I'm a martial artist after all, right? Why do you look down on me like that?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Shi Rong was suddenly amused by him and laughed out loud. His laughter was melodious and pleasant.

She really thought that Fei Zeyi, who was so innocent, was so childish and funny.

"With your limited skills, you should save them for when your crime is exposed, and use them to protect your father. Stop worrying about me."

Fei Zeyi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard her suddenly change the subject.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't you understand? Nothing will happen between you and her."

Fei Zeyi understood what Shi Rong said and realized that he was trying to give him some advice, but he just didn't understand. So what if he had someone he liked?

"why?"

Shi Rong raised his hand and pointed at his head without warning.

"If you don't want your beloved woman to become a victim of a wealthy family's revenge like me, then you'd better leave her. Unless you are confident enough to rebel in front of your father and force him to abdicate, otherwise, don't even think about it."

Fei Zeyi was stunned again. He had never really considered these long-term issues before. He only knew how to pursue immediate happiness.

"so serious?"

Shi Rong was speechless.

"Don't you know your own father? He's no less ruthless than Huo Yan was back then."

Fei Zeyi understood now, and after some thought, he decided to ask Shi Rong for help.

"If it were you, what would you do?"

"I will follow the trend and marry Huo Wanwan."

???

Fei Zeyi glared at her unhappily. Was this person doing this on purpose?

It's so boring!

"except this."

Shi Rong shook his head.

"There's no way out. You have to understand one thing. Only by obeying your family's arrangements can you completely protect the woman you love, unless you want her to die. What's more, in my opinion, your sweetheart is not worth you letting Huo Wanwan down for her."

hiss~

Fei Zeyi automatically ignored the harsh words she said at the end. After all, it was not a day or two that Shi Rong looked down on the woman he liked.

But he still couldn't help but shiver. The thought that she would die in front of him one day was unbearable for him. He said as if he suddenly thought of something.

"But Huo Jiuzhou loves you too, and he can't live without you. How come you're okay?"

If Shi Rong didn't have enough personal freedom now, she really wanted to slap this man without any scruples.

Huo Jiuzhou doesn't love her at all!

Does this man have some ridiculous misunderstanding of the word "love"?

"Why do you talk so much nonsense in one day? Which eye of yours can see that I'm fine?"

……

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Fei Zeyi coughed twice.

"sorry."

Turning around, Shi Rong continued walking forward.

"Some things you'd better think carefully about, so that you don't end up regretting your decision one day when things get out of control."

Just like the stubborn self who refused to listen to advice.

Fei Ze nodded calmly and answered absent-mindedly.

"I see."

……

When she returned to Chen Court, she saw that the noble and cold man had arrived before her and was sitting at the desk in the master bedroom waiting for her.

Shi Rong took off her hat and mask, thought for a while, and walked forward. She took the bank card that Fei Zeyi gave her and placed it next to the man.

Huo Jiuzhou's indifferent brown eyes swept across without pausing for a moment, and the voice that came out of his thin lips was a slightly cold question.

"You and Fei Zeyi, don't you really know each other?"

Peeping?

Shi Rong guessed that he would ask, and was not surprised.

"I've seen him a few times when I was hanging out with Xia Zhi."
