in a natural tone: "Mingzhu, Secretary Liu is going home for the New Year later. You're not coming out to see him off You usually call him Uncle Liu quite affectionately."The pearl of the house, grin...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"

She sat quietly at the dinner table, watching his back and blinking her eyes gently.

He was smoking behind her back.

A thin veil of gray smoke rose slowly, further blurring Anran's eyes. She suddenly couldn't bear it anymore; she couldn't stay in this place.

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."d about...Aunt Lin coughed lightly: “Mr. Huo didn’t stay overnight, did he”"An Ran sipped her soy milk and paused for a moment: 'I broke up with him, Lin Shen. Let's not talk about this anymore.'"Aunt...
