The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

At this moment, Rong Huaizhi's long, slightly pale fingers were trembling as he slowly raised them. Each slight tremor seemed to bear a thousand-pound burden, making his movements incredibly difficult. However, just as his fingertips were about to touch the doorbell, he suddenly froze in mid-air as if he had been frozen in place.

His heart pounded wildly in his chest, like a beast long confined in a cage, struggling with all its might to break free and burst through the confined space. The rapid, powerful beat echoed in the silent air, as if the whole world could hear its cries and struggles.

At the same time, the heartbreaking misunderstanding scene kept replaying in his mind like a movie. In his memory, her once bright and beautiful eyes were now filled with sadness and despair. That desperate gaze was like an extremely sharp blade, piercing straight into the deepest part of his heart, relentlessly stirring it and bringing waves of unbearable pain.

He was so remorseful he could hardly breathe, constantly blaming himself and asking: Why didn't he seize the opportunity to explain things clearly? Why did he have to watch her suffer such pain and harm? Countless "whys" swirled in his mind, tormenting him to the point of near collapse.

But now, sitting here, does he really have the courage to face her? What if she refuses to listen to any of his explanations? What if she is already utterly disappointed in him or even disgusted with him? These worries weighed on his heart like heavy lead, making it hard for him to breathe.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his wildly beating heart, but his body trembled uncontrollably. He could clearly feel his heart pounding like thunder in his ears, and his hands, which should have been as steady as a mountain, were now trembling slightly, completely revealing his inner tension.

He closed his eyes tightly, rehearsing in his mind again and again the words he was about to say to her. However, no matter how hard he racked his brains to choose his words and organize his sentences, every possible explanation seemed so pale and powerless at this moment, like a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

The thought that his explanation might not only fail to quell her anger but could actually infuriate her, even making her think he was merely looking for an excuse to shirk responsibility, filled him with a deep sense of fear. This fear was like an invisible net, tightly binding him and making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

Just then, a gentle breeze brushed against his face, bringing a slight coolness, but he was completely unaware of it. At that moment, he only felt that his back was already soaked with cold sweat, a wet patch that clung to his clothes, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze fixed on the azure sky. The usually bright and dazzling sunlight, for some reason, seemed dim and lifeless, as if devoid of all vitality. Time seemed to freeze in that instant; everything around him became eerily quiet, broken only by his rapid breathing. Each passing second felt like a heavy hammer blow to his heart, intensifying his anxiety and unease.

Just then, Catherine gently raised her hand and slowly took out the yellow talisman she had prepared beforehand. Her beautiful eyes were slightly closed, her lips parted slightly, and she began to chant incantations, as if reciting a mysterious and ancient spell. As the incantation began, the previously unremarkable talisman began to tremble slightly, as if it had come to life. Then, it flew up like a golden lightning bolt, heading straight for the study door and landing firmly on it without the slightest deviation.

After completing this series of actions, Catherine gently raised her head and turned her gaze to Rong Huaizhi, who was sitting opposite her. At this moment, Rong Huaizhi was deeply shocked by Catherine's unfathomable technique.

His eyes widened in astonishment, but he quickly regained his composure after a moment. After all, in the bustling city of Hong Kong, fortune-telling and metaphysics were always popular among the upper class, and many renowned masters had emerged. As a well-traveled and knowledgeable person, Rong Huaizhi was naturally somewhat familiar with these practices.

After calming down, Rong Huaizhi suddenly remembered Catherine's question to him earlier. So, he took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and said in a sincere yet slightly humble tone, "My princess, please allow me to express my sincerest apologies to you once again."

After saying this, Rong Huaizhi paused slightly, seemingly trying to calm himself, then took a deep breath and slowly continued, "That year was the seventh year of our agreed-upon ten-year promise. No one could have imagined that fate would play such a cruel joke on us at that time. I don't know where things went wrong, but I was involved in a very serious car accident. That accident was like a nightmare, instantly disrupting my life completely. Due to the severity of my injuries, I immediately fell into a deep coma. I remained unconscious in bed for three whole years before finally waking up from that long darkness. And this sleep caused us to miss our precious ten-year promise. When I woke up, I was overjoyed to find you, only to learn that you had already returned to the capital."

Catherine listened quietly to Rong Huaizhi's account, her gaze fixed on him the entire time. When Rong Huaizhi finished speaking, she blurted out almost without thinking, "It must have hurt a lot during the car accident, right? You endured so much pain back then, how are you feeling now? Do you need me to help you recover?" Before she finished speaking, Hilbert, standing nearby, was slightly taken aback by his sister's words. He thought to himself, "Just now she was so aggressive, demanding an explanation from Rong Huaizhi, but now her first reaction is to care about his pain and health? This change in attitude is too abrupt!" Thinking this, he felt a pang of unease.

When Rong Huaizhi heard Catherine's uncontrollable, spontaneous words, a strange feeling instantly welled up in his heart. He felt as if his chest was filled with a warm and gentle force, a feeling that was both swollen and sweet.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Rong Huaizhi and Catherine gazed at each other silently for a full minute. Their eyes met, as if they could see into each other's deepest emotional world.

However, at this enchanting moment, an untimely cough shattered the tranquility.

It turned out that Hilbert, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn't stand it any longer. He cleared his throat and said with a serious expression, "Hey, can you two stop showing off your love here? We're talking about serious matters right now! Catherine, you can't let love cloud your judgment. You know this man has a history of such behavior!"

After saying that, Hilbert turned around, stared intently at Rong Huaizhi, and continued in a very serious tone, "And you, hurry up and continue! Don't try anything with my sister, like using your charm or playing the victim. If you're here to explain and admit your mistake, then show some sincerity!"
