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

Chapter 152 Because You Are Worth It!

"The terrifying thing about the old man is that his influence is not limited to North City, but two-thirds of the wealthy politicians in the entire north are under his command."

"In order to save your life, Jiuzhou had to tread on thin ice, cautiously and step by step, turning all his trusted followers into his own people. Only in this way could he marry you without any scruples."

"After you went to Jishan in southern China, he suffered from sleepless nights. As a mother, it would be a lie to say I didn't feel heartbroken. But compared to the grievances you've suffered for him over the years, I know it's nothing."

"Ah Rong, we are both women. Do you know why, even though his father and I knew he was a traitor, we still supported his actions without hesitation?"

Shi Rong couldn't think of an answer at all. Her mind was already in a mess, so she could only shake her head silently.

Mei smiled pleasantly.

"Because you're worth it! Your uncle and I both love you. Back then, his father was just as obsessed with marrying me as he is now."

Shi Rong weakly curled the corners of his lips, revealing a complex and seductive smile.

Seeing this, Mei Wei couldn't help but reach out and touch her soft and fragrant face again. It felt so good, much better than her son's.

"Ah Rong, don't think too much. I'm not telling you this to make you feel guilty. As a man, a future husband, no matter how much he sacrifices for you, it's what he deserves. What others have, we, Ah Rong, should have too. This is the right thing to do."

"But as parents, my uncle and I have no other requests for you. We just hope that you can consider your relationship with Jiuzhou for the sake of our past friendship."

"He loves you so much, so if he loses you, I think...it would be difficult for him to even survive."

"Ah Rong, you are a kind and good child. I just want you to think about it again, even if it's just to show your aunt and uncle's love for you. Okay?"

"We only have Jiuzhou as our son. Only if he lives well can we truly enjoy our old age."

Shi Rong could understand the painstaking efforts of Mei Wei and his wife as parents, and she didn't want them to worry and work hard about it. She couldn't bear to see anyone worrying too much about her affairs.

But all the things that happened in the past, such torment, torture, pain and humiliation, made it unbearable every time she thought of them.

How could she open her heart again and accept him without holding any grudges just based on these few words?

She can't do it!

She needed some time, she thought.

She was about to speak, but the surging qi and blood in her body caused by depression had already been suppressed to the extreme, forcing her to vomit a pool of blood as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Ah Rong!"

"Ah Rong..."

"Shuhuhu!"

Huo Jiuzhou was in a panic. He turned her pale face with his long fingers, gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and kissed and coaxed her in panic.

"Ah Rong, don't get excited. I'll listen to you. I'll listen to you, okay? I won't force you, and I won't be mean to you anymore."

Huo Jiuzhou, he's finished...

This was everyone's first subconscious reaction after hearing the words of concession that he had never said in his life.

Xia Zhi acted at the speed of light. Without waiting for anyone to call him, he led his men to Shi Rong in just a few steps.

She took out a Hetian jade porcelain bottle with a rose pattern carved on it from her bag, poured two small black pills into her hand, and fed them to Shi Rong, helping her to smooth her back and swallow them while speaking.

"These are Huaying pills that Dad personally prepared. He said that if you feel unwell, just take two pills. They can not only suppress the remaining toxins in your body, but also soothe your emotions. Rongrong, please don't get too excited. You're not fully recovered yet..."

After Shi Rong took the pill, he immediately felt much more comfortable. He gradually calmed down and regained his previous indifference and composure.

He reluctantly curled the corners of his mouth towards the people around him.

"I am fine."

She stood up from Huo Jiuzhou's knees and straightened her long mink shawl.

After thinking for a while, she looked up and met the pair of brown eyes that were always staring at her, slightly deep and infatuated. The sharpness and harshness of the past were gone, and there was only tenderness in them.

"I……"

Shi Rong said "I" for a long time, but in the end she couldn't say what was in her heart. She wanted to say no to him. After all, this man had tried his best for her.

"I will follow the advice of my uncle and aunt and reconsider the matter between you and me."

Her voice is soft and pleasant.

"But I think I need some time."

The man's thin lips curled up, revealing an irrepressible ecstasy.

"Okay, how long?"

Shi Rong thought about it and felt that if it was too short, it would be hard to understand, and if it was too long, it would not work either.

"3."

Afraid that he would disagree, I added a few more sentences.

"You have to give me some time to digest those painful memories. Besides, I also need to go back and take care of things in East City. In a sense, we are all the same. Just like you have the Huo Group to take care of, I have to go back and help Shi Yang."

Having said that, a hint of imperceptible ridicule appeared in Shi Rong's eyes.

"Well, I've already wasted five years of my youth on you. Asking you to give me back three years isn't too much, right?"

3 years.

It’s not long, nor short. Huo Jiuzhou can wait for as many years as he wants. He just can’t accept the days without Shi Rong by his side.

But...compared to all these, he was more afraid that she would lose control of her emotions due to his rejection, thus triggering the remaining poison in her body and putting her life in danger, so he could only agree with words but not with his heart.

"Okay, two things."

Shi Rong understood that he had to agree to two things, so he nodded tentatively.

"You said."

Huo Jiuchang stretched out his arm and without warning pulled Chu Yu, who was not far from them and was still watching, and easily threw him behind Shi Rong, next to Shen Mingxing and the other two.

"Ouch!"

Chu Yu was caught off guard and was so frightened that he almost fell down. Fortunately, Shen Mingxing was quick to help him up.

The man's magnetic and deep voice also sounded.

"First, let him work beside you."

Shi Rong glanced at him suspiciously, knowing that his move was to place a trusted spy next to her so that he could track and report her daily movements at all times.

No more words, just follow.

Anyway, he would keep a close eye on his every word and action, so he nodded obediently.

"Second, during this period, you cannot refuse my pursuit."

???

Shi Rong was stunned, puzzled, and stretched out his slender fingertips to point at him, and then at himself.

"You, chasing me?"

Look, what new words did she hear?

Huo Jiuzhou, the leader of North City, the most important figure, the invaluable person, actually wants to lower himself to pursue me?

Is there something wrong with his brain again?

"Ah."

It can be seen that he looks serious and solemn, and does not seem to be telling lies. Shi Rong can only smile helplessly.

"Ah good."

As long as he is happy.
