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

"Correct."

Tsk~

Huo Zhengtong smacked his lips helplessly. He knew that his stubborn and arrogant son would never let go until the situation became irreversible.

"Then you must be prepared to be suppressed by your grandfather at any time. The Huo family's main house cannot be affected by your impulsive behavior. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."

Huo Zhengtong only has one son, Huo Jiuzhou.

His talent and excellence are the only reasons that allow him to hold his head high and rule the world.

In short, if the main wife loses Huo Jiuzhou's support, she will no longer be able to look down on everything as before.

"I will never let the Huo family's main wife be implicated in any way."

Huo Zhengtong narrowed his eyes slightly, flashing a sharp light. It seemed that he had seen through his son's intentions in just the blink of an eye.

"Are you going to force the emperor to abdicate?"

Huo Jiuzhou curled his thin lips and smiled.

"Anyone who dares to stand in the way of the Huo family's main branch will be killed. This is what you have taught your son since he was young."

Huo Zhengtong now understood why the old man had spent his entire life trying to restrain every step Huo Jiuzhou took, because he was invincible.

……

A deep courtyard in the mountains.

When Shi Rong woke up in the morning, she realized that the surrounding environment was not very bright, but rather dim. She turned her head and looked out the window. She saw that the weather was gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain.

"woke up?"

A magnetic and deep voice came from his ear, interrupting Shi Rong's thoughts.

The woman looked back and glanced at the man lying beside her, hugging her tightly. Only then did she realize the two warm restraints on her body.

"Ah."

Huo Jiuzhou's handsome face, standing sideways, suddenly moved closer to her. His expression was ambiguous and his features were gentle, but they could not be seen clearly in the dim light.

Shi Rong couldn't help but be startled, but he didn't dare to hide.

"Do you want to go back to your old self?"

His question came without warning, and Shi Rong was startled again.

What does it mean?

Could it be that he already knew something?

After a moment of reaction, Shi Rong suddenly remembered that Xia Zhi was outside and the message was passed to her through Fei Zeyi.

After a pause, she did not answer the man's question, but asked a question in return for the first time.

"Boss Huo, do you think I'm ugly?"

The man was amused by her groundless doubts. The smile on his lips was less sarcastic and harsh than before, and more intoxicatingly calm and helpless.

"No."

How could Huo Jiuzhou possibly think Shi Rong was ugly? What a joke!

So patient today? He actually answered her question.

"Then can I not have plastic surgery?"

Shi Rong rarely dared to bargain with Huo Jiuzhou like he did now.

But for the sake of her future quality of life in the Huo family, so that she would not be affected by outsiders, she finally shook her head firmly.

"No."

He didn't even need to ask, he knew who told her this important decision.

Since this approach didn't work, Shi Rong had to change his strategy.

"Then...give me some time?"

"Okay, how long?"

No wonder there is no shadow of the sun hanging high in the sky today. It turns out that Huo Jiuzhou's patience and gentleness hidden in the darkness are even rarer than the sun rising from the south.

"50 days."

50 days?

Huo Jiuzhou's indifferent brown eyes flashed with an imperceptible movement. He was thinking about what the day would be like 50 days later.

In a moment, he really thought of it.

50 days later, on October 29th, was the day she first entered the Huo family's Lanting.

Naturally, it was also the day when the one-year agreement between him and the old man expired.

But the latter is not important.

The important thing is that she still remembers the former.

A feeling of ecstasy and relief gradually overflowed from Huo Jiuzhou's body, but he did not show it on the surface. Only the tone of his voice became more and more peaceful.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Listen to her?

Shi Rong rolled her eyes silently in her heart. She thought, maybe Huo Jiuzhou took some wrong medicine today?

The way she looked at the man was the same as before, cold and indifferent, without any emotion or warmth, but it inexplicably aroused his desire.

His thin lips descended straight down, holding her warm lips, a quiet, long, delicate and dense kiss, not overbearing, not forceful, just gently hooking the tongue in her mouth, entwining and intertwining, tasting her clear beauty.

The kiss came suddenly, and Shi Rong was caught off guard. While resisting, she was also surprised by the tip of the tongue. This tender and sweet entanglement seemed to be the same as the passionate kisses she had experienced with this man in the past.

She didn't struggle or resist. She knew Huo Jiuzhou wouldn't go too deep because she was still on her period and it wasn't suitable for her to have sex.

She just lay there mechanically motionless, letting him kiss her until she felt she was gradually out of breath. The man then ended this nostalgic romantic French kiss with satisfaction.

"Ah Rong, be good and get up."

Holding the woman back in his arms, Huo Jiuchang brushed his long fingers through the dry hair on the back of her head.

But he could stand still, as if struck by lightning, and could not recover for a long time.

Ah Rong?

She hadn't heard him call her such a poignant and touching name in a long time.

This nickname was given to her by Huo Jiuzhou himself when they first got together.

Everyone calls her Shi Rong and Xiao Rong, but men call her A Rong.

It was as if these two words belonged to him alone. After losing Huo Jiuzhou, no one had ever called her so enthusiastically.

I used to be filled with joy when I heard it, but now when I listen to it again, I feel that things and people have changed.

It's all over now, isn't it?

"what happened?"

Seeing that the woman was still lying motionless in his arms, the man was confused and turned her little face to take a look.

"Ah good."

Realizing that he had lost his composure, Shi Rong quickly climbed out of the man's arms.

Whether it's his wife or Ah Rong, these are the few remaining days that he can still see himself. As long as Huo Jiuzhou is happy, let him do whatever he wants.

Anyway, she couldn't beat him, so in order to save her miserable life and wait for the right opportunity to meet Huo Yan, Shi Rong still had some endurance.

"Change your clothes and I'll take you to the company today."

The man said this to Shi Rong before going into the bathroom to take a shower.

Take her to the company?

Huo's Consortium?

Zhaoqian Building?

why?

As much as Shi Rong had wanted to go before, he was now as reluctant to go.

But...after all, she didn't dare to go against the man's wishes, at least not now.

The purpose of Huo Jiuzhou's plan was very simple. He was worried that the fierce and reckless Fei Zeyi would really come and steal Shi Rong while he was away.

It is always important to be on guard against others. This has been Huo Jiuzhou's habit in doing business for many years.

At his order, Shi Rong changed into a white cotton dress that she hadn't worn for a long time, put on white sneakers, wore a hat and a mask, and followed Huo Jiuzhou into his exclusive car, the Rolls-Royce Zhouji.

Along the way, Shi Rong was in an unnatural state. She was like a criminal who was suddenly released from a cage and had long been out of touch with the world. She was fidgeting and restless.

Although she didn't show it, her watery eyes, filled with lingering fear, kept turning around.
