e gently bit her lip, then turned her face away, whispering softly, “ Huo Shaoting, I’m not playing games with you! Your conditions are indeed the best, and we have a foundation of past feelings. Now...The atmosphere was tense.

Across the table, we gaze at each other, but we are no longer the same people we were three years ago.

An Ran lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Perhaps! So Huo Yunsi, we really don't need to entangle ourselves, let each other go."

"What should I do about Lin Xi"

Huoyunsi's deep eyes stared at her, and he softly asked: "Since you are with him, do you not plan to get married for the rest of your life"

"Just go with the flow!"

The three words "An Ran" enraged Huo Yunsi.

He stared at her for a long time, then suddenly got up and walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window. The lights were dazzling, his back was noble yet lonely. After a while, he finally spoke: "An Ran, in your heart, is there still room for us to develop our feelings I mean, not just for Lin Xi"

Here are all of her and Huo Yunsi's memories.

Those past experiences, both good and bad, surged through her heart, causing her pain.

Huo Yunsi finished half a cigarette.

He leaned sideways, extinguishing the cigarette with an elegant flick of his wrist, then turned slightly to gaze at Anran... He looked at her intently, taking in this different Anran.

An Ran's lips trembled slightly, and she said once more, " Huo Yunsi, that's it!"

Huo Yunsi smiled faintly.

He stated plainly, “You still have feelings for me!”

An Ran was just about to retort,

He cut her off, his expression and tone becoming cold and impersonal: "Lin Xi is a child of the Huo family. It's impossible for him to stay with you forever."He lowered his gaze to Lu Xun, saying nothing but gently slipping the diamond ring onto his finger.They were silent for a long time.Lu Shu finally held her in his arms, first kissing her gently, and t...
