"why are there so many roses here? "who did it?" huo xiwen looked at the rose-filled eyes. he was truly amazed by her beauty.

"i don't know either. it was probably planted by old li." chen yanzhuo casually said.

huo xi wen smelled the faint scent of the rose and suddenly remembered something. she then asked, "speaking of which, do you have a good relationship with the owner of this winery? i think you're home. old li and the others are also very respectful towards you, as if you are the master of this place. "

"is that so?" chen sat down on the reclining chair beside her and rested his head on his pillow. his eyes were staring at the sky.

"that's right. besides, you gave all the puppies in the manor to them. if you weren't the owner of this place, how could you have made the decision?" huo xiwen a.n.a.lyzed.

"i was the one who sent the little dog's mother to the manor. of course, i have the right to deal with the children they gave birth to." chen yanzhuo said.

"then aren't you separating the puppy from his mother? you are too cruel. " huo xiwen's tone was filled with contempt.

"his mother is no longer alive. she died when giving birth to him. he called the veterinarian, but he was not saved." chen spoke of winter melon's mother with regret in his voice.

"is that so? no wonder i haven't even seen a big dog in this manor. it's a pity the winter melon lost her mother at such a young age. " huo xiwen began to feel overflowing with love.

"now you need not be pitied by others to keep it alive. there are many people in this world who can't even live as long as a dog. " when chen yanzhuo said this, his tone became very heavy.

"yeah, there are many other places in this world where people live in the midst of war, live a precarious life, and there are also many poor and backward places where they can't even drink a mouthful of clean water. compared to those people, winter melon is simply living in heaven." huo xiwen also sighed.

"don't worry, you'll always be living in heaven." chen looked at her with a smile.

huo xiwen's face turned red when he saw her look at him. it took him half a second to realize that he was trying to use her as an a.n.a.logy. he couldn't help but become angry, "you're the one who lives in heaven forever, like a winter melon."

"i hope so too." chen yanzhuo, however, didn't mind at all and nodded cheerfully.

huo xi wen curled his lips, and was too lazy to argue with him anymore. he only raised his head to look at the sky full of stars.

looking at the stars like this, seeing so much, it was almost impossible in the city.

the pollution from the car exhaust and industry filled the city with haze. only when the weather was clear could one see a few stars in the sky.

and at this moment, she seemed to have the entire milky way.

"so beautiful. i didn't even know that i could see so many stars in the suburbs." she sighed as she blinked, staring at the starry sky above her.

chen yanzhuo, who was beside him, snapped his fingers. all the lights in the gla.s.s tower were suddenly extinguished. when he looked up at the starry sky again, it became even more dazzling.

"chen yanzhuo, can you discuss this with your friend for me? i want to buy this manor, as much as you want." huo xiwen was already intoxicated in the starry sky, unwilling to leave.

"do you like it so much here?" he tilted his head, his eyes falling into the darkness, her profile.

the dim light from the sky could only make out her outline, but that didn't stop him from admiring her face.

this face had long since been deeply engraved in his mind.

perhaps it was only in the darkness that he could look at her so unrestrainedly, without any scruples.

"i like it. this place is too beautiful. if i live here, i would feel really relaxed. i don't need to think about anything else. every day, we feed the chickens, pick grapes, raise flowers and grow vegetables, and at night, we stay in the attic and watch the stars and the moon. it's just too perfect. " huo xiwen's tone was filled with fantasies about the life here.

"okay, i'll talk to him for you." he finally agreed.

"chen yanzhuo, what major did you study in the united states?" huo xiwen began to ask questions again.

chen yanzhuo answered her questions without saying a word, answering the curiosity in her heart.

it was unknown how long the two chatted for as the night gradually deepened. huo xiwen's voice also became softer and softer until it finally became completely silent.

"xi wen …" after she was quiet for a few minutes, chen yanzhuo softly called her name.

huo xiwen did not respond.

he knew that she was probably asleep.

sitting up from the reclining chair, he walked to her side, bent down, and placed a gentle kiss between her tightly shut eyes.

huo xiwen was tickled by this kiss. as if she had just woken up from a dream, she lightly muttered, "fu muyun, don't cause trouble." she fell asleep again.

looking at her, who was sleeping soundly, chen yanzhuo couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

there was nothing more ironic in this world than having a love rival, right?

and yet, he had encountered it.

if huo xiwen was a forgetful girl, or if she wasn't so obsessed with love, maybe he could try to use his new ident.i.ty to make her fall in love with him again and forget about fu muyun.

it was safest for him, for her.

but after such a long period of time had pa.s.sed, huo xiwen simply hadn't accepted the news of fu muyun's death. in addition, that little girl fu hui had revealed information that he shouldn't have revealed at the critical moment, and now there was an imposter eyeing him covetously.

the only thing he could do now was to take advantage of her injuries and spend more time with her.

he wanted to make up for the debt he owed her.

after sending huo xiwen back to his room, he turned around. just as he was about to leave, his phone in his pocket rang.

she opened her eyes and saw herself lying down on the bed. she also saw chen yanzhuo standing next to the bed, about to pick up the phone, and she immediately understood that he had just carried her back to her room.

chen yanzhuo originally wanted to hang up, but after looking at the caller id, he immediately picked up the phone.

"mister shi, it's so late. what's the matter?" his tone was very cold.

when huo xiwen heard him call her that way, she immediately knew that the phone call must have come from the drug dealer, stone tiger. she immediately p.r.i.c.ked up her ears and held her breath, wanting to hear the contents of the call clearly.

unfortunately, chen yanzhuo's phone had a very good soundproofing effect. except for the person who answered the phone, no one else could clearly hear what was being said.

thus, she only heard chen yanzhuo mock and ridicule the other party. finally, she talked about the important matter and hung up the phone.

when he put down the phone, huo xiwen immediately looked at him excitedly and asked, "how is it? was it time for the trade? what can i do for you? "
