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

"Eat, eat, eat! Sister-in-law is just kidding you, she'll eat it right away."

As he spoke, he stuffed the soup and spoon into Shi Rong's hands and whispered a few words in her ear.

"Sister-in-law, I beg you, just eat it. The boss really has no other purpose, and he doesn't want your eyes. If you don't want him to turn this entire hospital upside down tonight, that's enough."

Shi Rong looked back and saw Xing Jiashan anxiously winking at her. For Xia Zhi's sake, she chose to pick up the still hot thermos soup bucket and drink it all in one gulp.

After drinking it, he wiped the soup stains left at the corners of his mouth angrily.

Seeing that she was willing to listen to advice, although reluctantly, Xing Jiashan's tense nerves finally relaxed for a moment.

Seeing this, the man angrily took out the empty bucket she was still holding in her hand and slammed it heavily on the bedside table.

Damn woman!

She refused to listen to him but was willing to listen to other men's advice.

Shi Rong ignored the murderous look on his face and looked at the alluring night scene outside the window.

He won't eat anything!

Huo Jiuzhou saw that she had been in this confrontational state since she woke up. He was so angry that he almost ran away, but he still took her health into consideration, fearing that she would be frightened by him and her old illness would be triggered.

He adjusted his almost crazy mentality again, took a deep breath, and prepared to have a long talk with the woman.

"Shi Rong, I'm giving you two choices now. Either you obey the old man's decision and donate your cornea to Zheng Yuyan; or you marry me, and I'll ensure you a worry-free life."

"what?"

After hearing this, Shi Rong thought that he had misheard because of his poor hearing. He glanced sideways and met his handsome and serious face, and couldn't help but feel confused.

What the hell is this man talking about?

Marry him?

Is she still dreaming?

"Me? Marry you?"

Shi Rong stretched out a finger woodenly, pointed at himself, and then pointed at him.

Seeing the man sitting upright and nodding, not joking, he was speechless.

"Huo Jiuzhou, what's wrong with you? How can I marry you when I look like this? Aren't you afraid that you and I will be embarrassed in front of outsiders in the future? After all, you are a top figure in North City, right? What do you think of marrying a woman like me? Besides, you are already married to Zheng Yuyan, so what does marrying me mean? A second marriage? Or is it that the mistress was made the legal wife?"

After a pause, Shi Rong continued.

"Whether it's donating my corneas or marrying you, I won't choose either. If you have the guts, get your good grandfather to come over and kill me."

The more Huo Jiuzhou listened, the angrier he became. This anger made it impossible for him to continue pretending to be calm. Instead, when the woman was about to look away, he stretched out his long fingers, pinched her rough chin, and forced her to look at him.

"Do you really think he doesn't dare to touch you? Even I have to be cautious in front of him. Do you know what this means? If he wants to take your life, it's just a matter of moving his fingers!"

The man was furious, and the two fingers pinching her were tightening.

"Shi Rong, let me tell you, your so-called pride is nothing compared to the Huo family. You can use your pride anywhere else, but in front of the Huo family, you'd better learn to restrain yourself!"

convergence?

A nonchalant, sarcastic smile gradually appeared on Shi Rong's lips.

"So? What are you trying to tell me by saying this? You're not trying to say that everything you've done in the past few years was just to save my life, are you?"

Shi Rong sneered, and the smile on his lips deepened a little.

"Huo Jiuzhou, you are the helmsman of the Huo family, the executive president of the Huo Group, the dream lover of countless girls, outstanding and in the prime of life. Don't you understand the meaning of these two words? What you call protection is to make me live against death and unravel the mystery? Have you ever asked for my opinion?"

After she finished speaking, she pushed away his big hand that was clamped on her chin and accused him in a voice that was piercing to the heart.

"Your protection means sending me to the South China Thorn Mountain, where I will be abused and humiliated at will, with no regard for my life? Your protection means forcing me to become a horrible person like this and live in front of the world? Your protection means making me a maid living under someone else's roof, seeking a living, while I go to the prosperous Hua Ting and become an insignificant cleaner at the mercy of others? Just a few days ago, I even wanted to save my eyes, and you were still angry because I didn't believe you?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Shi Rong was so angry that he laughed, his eyes turned red and tears flew down his face.

Seeing this sad and tearful look, Huo Jiuzhou felt heartbroken and he was speechless.

"Huo Jiuzhou, I wanted to believe you so much! But at the beginning, I was so passionate, I believed in you without hesitation, but what did I get in return? The destruction of the Shi family! The disappearance of Shi Yang! The days that felt like years! A life worse than death!"

She blurted out all the resentment that had been suppressed in her heart for years, so much so that her already hoarse and unpleasant voice changed its tone on the spot.

"You said you want me to marry you? You can guarantee that I will have no worries in my life? Do you want to listen to what you are saying? Don't you think it's funny? I have already lived such a miserable life, and you and the Huo family have never wanted to let me go. Aren't you just trying to force me to death? Then everyone should forget it!"

Shi Rong wiped away the crystal tears on his face and returned to his previous indifference and alienation.

"Since you didn't firmly choose me at the beginning, you don't have to choose me now."

With her eyes closed, she was in a state of unprecedented physical and mental fatigue. She seemed to be in a trance and sighing.

"If I hadn't met you on the way home from Tsu City that day, it would have been fine..."

If nothing had happened, perhaps now, she would at least still be the carefree, free-spirited and lively Shi Chang.

"Ah Rong..."

The man's face was filled with a rare expression of grief. He couldn't help but call out softly, but he could no longer get a positive and active response from the woman.

Both of them were silent for a while. After a moment, the man seemed to have made up his mind.

He extended his hand, as soft as a piece of silk, to Xing Jiashan who was watching from the side. The latter was stunned, knowing that he was asking for something from him. He secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes that were aroused by Shi Rong's heartbreaking grief.

Turning around, he pulled out a marriage application registration form that Chu Yu had prepared in advance from his handbag. It was a formal two-in-one form of several pages.

Because Huo Jiuzhou has a prominent status and special authority, as long as Shi Rong signs this, they can directly obtain a marriage certificate that has legal effect and is recognized by multiple national officials.

Huo Jiuzhou has already completed the written power of attorney for the specific matters, and it will take effect as soon as Shi Rong signs his name on it.

Huo Jiuzhou took the folder containing those important pieces of paper and held it tightly in his hand.
