ding heat traveled from her fingertips, and her breath was also laced with scorching warmth.Upon sensing something amiss, Huo Chen Xi's sword brows furrowed, his eyes darkening with suspicion.Shen Zha...Under Huo Chen Xi's scorching gaze, Su He also thought of another layer of meaning in this sentence. Her cheeks flushed instantly, and she glared at Huo Chen Xi with a huff.

Her face, small and delicate with features finely sculpted, was flushed with a mixture of shame and indignation. Her reproachful glare was both alluring and captivating, making it impossible to look away from her.

Huo Chenxi felt as if a mischievous hand was holding the softest feathers in the world, scratching at his heart. A warmth spread through his body, like walking barefoot in the desert of August, with a shimmering spring just ahead, making him desperate to rush forward and quench his thirst.

His throat bobbed, he turned his head, and a raspy voice came out: "Come in!"

In a low, almost seductive tone, Su He’s face flushed as if burned. She wanted to slap him right across the face.

The flight attendant reminded them again that the plane was about to take off. Su He puffed out her cheeks, annoyed, and walked over to

The space was vast, she was careful to avoid Huo Shenxi, but as she neared her destination, she felt something ambiguous slide across her calf.

Su He's whole body felt like it had been struck by lightning. She froze for a moment, then almost jumped to her seat, quickly fastened her safety belt, and closed her eyes, unwilling to look at Huo Chen Xi again.

A low, teasing chuckle seemed to sound beside her ear. Su He's heart skipped a beat and she trembled, unwilling to open her eyes like an ostrich.

However, Huo Yirou's words did have an influence on her.

If she had really misunderstood the relationship between Bai Yihuan and Huo Chenxi before, then what about the child

Su He's mind was in a mess.

The plane took off, and after a brief turbulence, it finally leveled out.

Su He didn't sleep well last night. Besides, she always got sleepy whenever she was on transportation, and unknowingly fell asleep again, even having a dream.

In her dream, she saw her past from a third-person perspective.

Her drunken, enraged foster father lashed out with his whip, savagely beating her and her foster mother.

She and her adoptive mother desperately tried to protect each other, which only angered her adoptive father. The bloodstained whip fell down mercilessly.

Just when she thought they were going to be killed, Huo Chenxi descended from the sky.

Backlit, Huo Chenxi stood tall and proud. His handsome features and slender, dignified figure made Su He momentarily think he was looking at a god.

Huo Chenxi saved them from their foster father's clutches, kicking the arrogant and vengeful man away with one foot.

After that, she and her foster mother were examined and treated by a team of professional doctors, while her foster father was sent to prison for selling women and children and abusing them.

Su He thought she was finally free, but unexpectedly, her adoptive father had already sold her to a widowed old man in the neighboring village.

The old widower, upon learning that her adoptive father had been imprisoned, immediately came with his family to force her into marriage.

Even when faced with death threats from her adoptive mother, she couldn't be stopped. She struggled desperately, but was hopelessly dragged onto the bridal palanquin.

At the critical moment, it was Huo Chenxi who descended from the heavens and personally rescued her from the encirclement.

When Huo Shenxi pulled her crimson wedding veil off with a single hand, disdainfully flinging it aside and telling her she was now free, Su He, seeing herself in the full red bridal attire, flushed scarlet with shame. She dared not meet his gaze, her heart overflowing with gratitude.

Time and space shifted, and Grandma Huo suggested that she marry Huo Chenxi.

Ho Chenxi flatly refused, proposing to repay her kindness by adopting her and giving her the status of a member of the Ho family. However, his offer was immediately rejected by Ho grandmother.

Knowing that Granny Huo insisted on her marrying Huo Chenxi, Huo Yirou specially came to ask about her opinion.

"Su He, are you really willing to marry my older brother and be my sister-in-law" Huo Yi Rou was worried that she was too soft-hearted and wouldn't dare to disobey her grandmother, "If you don't want to, I'll tell grandma."

Huo Yirou was unloved in the Huo family, yet she was willing to risk offending her grandmother to help her. Su He was deeply touched, but still refused her kindness.

"I have no objections." She said, her head bowed, her face flushed.

"A man like him... you and he are from completely different worlds. How could you be willing to marry him" Huo Yirou still couldn't believe it.

Su He refused to admit that she had feelings for Huo Chen Xi.

He Chen Xi seemed like a celestial being, while she was ordinary as common earth. It felt like even looking at him was a sin.

Su He didn't know where she got the courage to speak out loud, "He is handsome and wealthy, and he is the heir of the Huo family. If I marry him, I will never have to worry about my life for the rest of my life."

Huo Yirou thought she was desperate, though she still wanted to persuade her, but when she met Su He's eyes, she instantly understood.

Self-deception is just a way to hide the love you're too ashamed to admit.

Although she was under the influence of the medicine, Su He still felt Huo Chenxi's heat in their first time together after marriage. She bore all he gave her with pain and happiness.

Until she woke up, Huo Chenxi ruthlessly scolded her before decisively leaving. She endured it all without a word of complaint.

Ho Chen Xi remained as cold as ever, while He Su Wen became even more arrogant with her newfound power.

Until Grandma Huo fell seriously ill, she held her hand, red-eyed and trembling as she told her that her only wish was to see her child with Huo Chenxi.

Su He summoned her courage and told Ho Chen Xi about the matter, but received only cold mockery in return.

After being wrongly accused for three years, Su He finally reached her limit and personally drugged Huo Chen Xi.

Every night, the maddening revenge tormented him, and he deliberately tortured her, driving her to beg him in. She pleaded with him to stop.

Until the last night, she could smell his perfume and asked again. Just as he was about to answer, a call came from the old house. He didn't even look at her, got up and left without a word.

"Don't go…" Seeing him about to leave, Su He chased after Huo Chenxi.

Huo Chenxi resolutely left, leaving Su He to weep silently.

Until this moment, Su He had never hated Huo Chen Xi.

If Huo Shenxi hadn't had her child aborted...

Su He saw the cold hospital, doctors in white coats cruelly picking up instruments, ready to kill the child in her belly.

The cold instruments pierced through the flesh, mercilessly churning within.

"Stop!" she cried, rushing forward to intervene, but she was too late. She could only watch helplessly as the doctor cruelly extracted the unborn child.

That bloody, mangled mass was mercilessly thrown into the trash.

"No, don't leave me…" Su He roared in despair, frantically charging at the trash can, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault…"

Suddenly, a chill swept over him, jolting Su He awake. He finally opened his eyes.

First-class cabin lights dimmed, yet remained warm, unlike the cold hospital room.

He felt a slight chill on his fingertips and looked down to see that he had somehow grabbed the hand of the person next to him.

She gripped him tightly, her nails digging deep into the flesh of his wrist, a faint crimson visible.

The next second, she finally realized that Huo Chenxi was sitting beside her. She abruptly pulled her hand away from him.

The distant past, like a dream, mercilessly ripped open the wounds buried deep in her heart, revealing a bloody and raw patch of crimson.

"Dumped by a man" Huo Chenxi's dark and complex gaze swept across her flushed eyes, still glistening with moisture. He coldly sneered, "Anyway, you have so many men around you, what's there to be sad about"

"Slap!" Su He gritted her teeth, staring at him. Suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped him hard across the face. under the bamboo grove, with water pavilions and ornate buildings, a melodious zither fills the air.Su He, in a water-green cheongsam, followed the staff through the corridors and arrived at the lake...
