Ye Zichen looked at the bank's notification message.

Not only would it be less than the Huo family, the total funds of the Huo family were definitely not worth 300 billion.

"What do you mean?" Gu Lan Qing's heart felt as if it had been squeezed by someone.

It hurt.

"Do you really not understand?" Huo Yan approached her, and his hot breath fell on her white face.

"I loved you very much. It was because I loved you very much that I did the ligature after I learned that your body had been injured five years ago. I don't want anyone's child but you. Thirteen years ago, if it wasn't for you saving me, I would have died long ago. Everything I have now is yours, including my life. Qing Qing, can you try to accept me? I don't just want your body, I want your heart. "

"I don't love you …" She panicked even more. Looking at his bright eyes, she instinctively wanted to dodge.

"I know that you still love Huo Zichen. The only reason you're with me is because of your position as the heir to the Huo family." Huo Yan laughed self-deprecatingly, no longer looking down on her like before.

The intrusion into his room five years ago had been a needle in his heart and hers.

Gu Lanqing remained silent. Once again, she looked at the text message notification on her phone with a complicated look on her face.

In his eyes, she was vain. That was why he gave her all his assets, just to keep her from leaving him.

Looking at this reminder, she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.

The man in front of her was Huo Yan, her brother Su.

Her eyes were sore.

Huo Yan lowered his head and kissed the corner of her eyes. He didn't know when, but he had started to shed tears. Do you remember? You said you'd marry me when you grew up. Now you are my wife. I'm very grateful to Huo Zichao for saving you with his life. I'm not begging you to forget him. I'm just asking for a little bit of me to exist within your heart. "

"I can't do it …" There was still some fear in her eyes. "Too many things have happened between you and I in the past. I really can't do it …"

Just by giving her all the money and saying some sweet words, all the harm he had done in the past would be gone.

"I swear to you, I will never mention what happened five years ago." He knew what she was afraid of.

"But …" She didn't believe it.

"No buts." Huo Yan lowered his head and kissed her lips. "Give me one chance." I will prove to you that I love you very much. "

"Why are you suddenly telling me this?" Facing his bright eyes, she instinctively wanted to dodge.

Due to his warm breath, his originally pale face constantly fell on hers, and she couldn't help but blush a little.

Not to mention the pity that was revealed on his overly exquisite face caused some ripples in her heart.

"There has to be a compromise between you and me. Otherwise, there will always be a constant amount of suspicion and a constant amount of harm between us. "

Since she would not compromise, he would compromise and be honest with her.

In the end, he was still nervous and held his breath, "Can you give me a chance? No matter what happens, I'm here. I won't let you get hurt. "

I won't let you get hurt.

This sentence was more pleasant to hear than any sweet talk.

Gu Lanqing's eyes couldn't help turning sour.

Thirteen years ago, when she was at her most helpless, she saved Big Brother Su and stood by her side.

Thirteen years later, when she was caught up in the scandal and being scolded by a thousand men, he was there.

Seeing the silent Gu Lan Qing, Huo Yan became even more nervous. A flustered look flashed across his handsome face as he held her hand tightly and put it on his chest. "You still don't trust me?" he quickly asked. I assure you, I will never betray you again. If I look at any other woman, you'll let me out of the house with nothing. "

Gu Lanqing was amused by him. His mouth was very venomous, and he only knew how to talk back. He didn't even know how to speak properly.

When Huo Yan saw that her eyes were curved, the light in her eyes flickered, and his heartbeat quickened.

"Alright." Seeing that he was obviously nervous to the extreme, yet he didn't dare to urge her, Gu Lan Qing said slowly with a faint smile on her lips.

The light in Huo Yan's eyes immediately brightened. He couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her lips.

Gu Lan's eyelashes trembled slightly, not like before. She tightly shut her lips and refused his kiss.

He opened his lips and slightly stuck his smooth tongue out, but it was all swallowed up by his excitement.

The palm slid across her skin, bringing with it a surge of electricity.

Gu Lan Qing closed her eyes. Her hand that was tightly grabbing onto the bed sheets, tentatively hooked onto his neck to cater to his kiss.

It was really easy to promise him.

Because he was none other than Brother Su.

What she didn't say was that she had been waiting for him to return thirteen years ago, after he had suddenly disappeared.

She had never promised Zichen, but the outside world had always regarded her and Zichen as a couple.

Even if she tried to clarify it, it would be because she was as shy as a girl.

Thinking about Zichen, her heart hurt once again.

Huo Yan's longed-for kiss flowed from her lips to her ears, covering her snow-white, soft earlobes.

His slightly hoarse voice could be heard, "We will hold a press conference tomorrow and announce that we have been married for five years …"

"That won't do! Absolutely not! " Gu Lanqing snapped out of her stupor and brazenly refused.

The tip of his ear hurt. He had bitten her.

"Why not?" Huo Yan lowered his head and met her panicked gaze.

"Have you forgotten? "In the eyes of outsiders, I'm Zichen's wife." Gu Lanqing blurted out.

The light in Huo Yan's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Gu Lanqing was inexplicably guilty. She shifted her gaze and said rationally, "The scandal between Little Tang and I is now spreading like wildfire. If you join in, it'll only make the situation worse."

She couldn't imagine how those netizens would discuss her relationship with Huo Yan and Zi Chen.

Their tongues were like knives, truly able to kill.

With a heavy expression, Huo Yan faced her and calmly said, "It's exactly because everyone's attention is on you that I'm willing to announce the matter of our marriage. This way, you would be able to take off the label that belonged solely to Huo Zichao. Don't worry, I will arrange everything. Tomorrow, my aunt will also attend the press conference, and it would be most appropriate for her to tell me about our secret marriage. "This way, the scandal between you and Ye Tang will break by itself."

"But …" She still felt uneasy.

Ye Zichen removed the label that belonged solely to Huo Zichen from her body …

It was as if those words completely erased the fact that five years ago, Zichen had risked his life to save her.

"No buts." Huo Yan lowered his head and kissed her lips again. After a long while, he breathed heavily and was about to pull off her towel when a slightly cold hand grabbed his wrist.

"Brother Su …" Gu Lanqing couldn't help but cry out.
