  The expected conversation finally came, and Huo Xianzhi didn't know what it was like for a moment, grievance, gratitude, fear... all kinds of complex emotions were mixed together, even if he tried his best to bear it, his eyes were slightly hot.

  His arm was grasped by Ruan Xizhi's slender fingers, and the feeling of being gripped made his heart, which had been floating for a long time, finally settle down. He restrained the instinct to hold someone in his arms, and looked up at him. He had a lot to say in his heart, but the moment he opened his mouth, it turned into a hoarse question: "So, why did you abandon me in the first place?"

  Why did you leave so resolutely, why would you rather hurt me and return to this place? Could it be that compared with your mother and sisters, I should be the one who was abandoned?

  Huo Xianzhi gently pushed his hand away, waiting for an answer seriously.

  Ruan Xizhi's hand hangs down weakly, his complexion turns pale after hearing his questioning, his eyes are blank and dull, it seems that these words have brought him into some kind of extreme pain.

  After a few breaths, his eyes flickered slightly, and he looked back at Huo Xianzhi. He raised his powerless hand and grabbed Huo Xianzhi's cold fingertips.

  His lips moved a few times, and finally he shook his head, "I can't tell. I thought... I'm not that important."

  When he said such words suddenly, others might not be able to figure it out, but Huo Xianzhi suddenly withdrew his hand, turned around and glared at him, slapped the small table on the couch in a spontaneous anger, and said through gritted teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

  He should be very angry, his chest heaved violently, and he pointed at Ruan Xizhi but couldn't say a word.

  Ruan Xizhi suddenly remembered the scene of the breakup that day, and felt anxious. He stood up and wanted to look at him, but saw Huo Xianzhi closed his eyes, and said hoarsely, "I... the ones I used back then were all fed to the dogs, right?"

  He said, looking at Ruan Xizhi with heavy and sad eyes.

  Ruan Xizhi hurried forward, stroked his chest, and said anxiously, "Listen to me!"

  Huo Xianzhi turned his head and stared at him with a gloomy face, as if he would slap him to death if he heard another harsh word.

  Ruan Xizhi swallowed, tried to calm down, dragged him to the front of the couch and sat down, and after a long sigh of relief, he recalled that period of confusion, helplessness, inferiority and worry.

  The days in Danling were the most... different times in his more than 20 years.

  Yes, it's just different.

  Before going to Danling, he always felt that the days were immutable, and each day was a replica of the previous day.

  Before he got his honor, he got up to read at midnight every day, ate at three meals, and rested at bedtime. Except for the spot checks that would incur punishment when Ruan Ji occasionally got up, his days were dull and repetitive.

  After becoming an official, the daily tasks are changed, and the cycle continues. This kind of repetition may have wasted decades of life, he thought at that time.

  Until he went to Danling and was entangled by Huo Xianzhi.

  The first time we met was when he first went to Danling to visit his boss. When he was brought into the mansion by the housekeeper of Huo's mansion, a group of people suddenly came behind him, and there was a lively commotion.
