huo xiwen spoke in a very casual manner. it was as if she had decided to give up on fu muyun. it wasn't really a big deal, but rather one of the many decisions she had made.

the moment he heard that he had been abandoned by her, chen yanzhuo's heart was not as relaxed as he had expected. on the contrary, a strong sense of loss arose from the depths of his heart.

from a rational point of view, huo xiwen was willing to give up her feelings for mu yun. this would at least allow her to escape from danger.

however, the reason why humans were different from other animals was because, in addition to being rational, there was also an additional emotion.

although he hoped that huo xiwen's feelings for him wouldn't be so deep, so that he would be able to receive less injuries, he still felt very sad if huo xiwen actually said that he would give up on him.

in this world, there was no one who didn't want the person they loved deeply to love them.

he was a human being, so when he heard these words, the pain and sadness in his heart was indescribable.

he only faintly lifted his eyes, doing his utmost to restrain the urge to rush up, tightly hug her, and tell her the truth. his voice was slightly hoa.r.s.e as he said, "you chose me because your aunt has a good impression of me?"

"not really. if i said that i like you a lot, would you believe me?" huo xiwen blinked, purposely teasing him.

"i thought that you would only love mu yun in this life." his voice was low.

"that's right. before i met you, i thought i would do the same thing. but now, isn't this the same as meeting you?" "he refused to show himself again. i don't even know if he still has me in his heart. maybe he already found a dozen or so girlfriends behind my back. maybe that's why he didn't want to show himself in front of me." huo xiwen deliberately 'slandered' him.

"you know it's impossible." chen yanzhuo said hoa.r.s.ely.

"how do you know that's impossible? you don't know him. " huo xiwen raised his eyebrows.

"i …" he was at a loss for words. with her current ident.i.ty as chen yanzhuo, he indeed shouldn't be very familiar with fu muyun. more accurately speaking, they should not even have met before.

"alright, let's not talk about that anymore. just tell me if you can agree to my conditions. if you agree, then i'll continue to wear this earring. if you don't, then take it back. " huo xi wen waved his hands and pulled the topic back to him. he looked at him with wide, beautiful eyes and asked.

"no." he didn't think too much about it and rejected her outright.

"you …" huo xiwen never thought that even though he had already made a concession, he was still unwilling to accept it.

did he really like that vivian?

could it be because of this that he refused to acknowledge her?

thinking up to here, she was a little angry, and felt even more wronged. her voice also became choked with sobs, "you like vivian that much? what was so good about her? am i worse than her? "

"no." he shook his head.

"forget it, since you've already made your choice, let's do it this way then. take the earring back, and give it to vivian. i don't need it. " huo xi wen turned around and was about to leave.

chen yanzhuo suddenly reached out and grabbed her, but due to his strength being too great and her being caught off guard, he pulled her until her body staggered and she fell into his arms.

at this moment, the two of them were pressed tightly against each other. they could clearly feel each other's breath on their body.

huo xiwen leaned against his chest, unable to hold back her tears as she sensed the unique aura that was emanating from his body.

she hung her head, afraid that he would see her face, afraid that her reaction would betray her.

chen looked down at the person in his arms. g.o.d knows how much he wanted to lower his head to kiss her face and tell her how much he loved her.

however, he knew in his heart that he couldn't do that. once she knew of his ident.i.ty, no matter how careful she was, it was impossible for her to not reveal herself in front of the person who pretended to be him.

as long as she revealed the slightest hint of a flaw and was discovered by him, with his intelligence, it would be easy for him to find her.

at that time, not to mention completing the mission, it was very likely that they would even be willing to sacrifice themselves.

he absolutely could not take such a risk.

"i agree to your conditions." in order to calm her, to get her to put the earring back on, he had to step back.

huo xiwen thought she had misheard him, and before she could even wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, she raised her head and looked at him with a face full of disbelief, "you're serious? "you really want me to compete fairly with vivian?"

"well, but there's something else you have to wear besides earrings." chen yanzhuo said.

"what is it?" huo xiwen asked curiously.

chen released her, turned around and walked to the bedside table, opened the drawer, took out a delicate box, opened the box, and inside was a luxury watch filled with diamonds that he had not noticed before. chen took the watch out of the box, and then he grabbed her little hand and put it on her wrist: "this watch looks like a luxury on the surface, but it's actually modified. do you see that little twist on the right side of the watch? normally when you wear it, as long as you don't touch it, it's just a normal watch, and no anti-monitoring device can detect it. "

huo xi wen looked at the exquisite watch on his wrist as he listened to his introduction. he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "there's actually such a dark technology. i thought this kind of equipment could only be found in movies."

"this is the most basic equipment." chen yanzhuo said.

at this time, huo xiwen narrowed his eyes, and looked at him with a scrutinizing look, "chen yanzhuo, honestly, are you really only zhao wei's a.s.sistant? why do i feel like you are also someone from fu muyun's organization? "

hearing this, chen yanzhuo's expression froze, but he didn't answer her question. he just took out a bluetooth earphone from the box and stuffed it into her ear: "if you want to talk to me in real time and you don't have a cell phone, you can use this earphone directly. as long as you put it in your ear, it will automatically connect your watch, turn on the monitor, and you can talk to me."

"got it." seeing that he didn't respond to her question, huo xiwen couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter. in any case, she had only asked him about it on purpose, in order to make him admit her ident.i.ty.

now it seemed like if he took the initiative to confess to her that he was fu muyun, she would have to put in some more effort.
