Perhaps this is how the world is, constantly being used and being used. When we realize that we are the puppets of the entire world struggling in the whirlpool that we use, all we can do is to force a smile and submit. After all, you are still in this world, and to exist here is to be a puppet, so that you will not feel so sad when you leave.

— — Su Jin laughed

From time to time, the fragrance of osmanthus would pounce over, bringing with it a gust of wind that blew up the muslin hanging on the window, creating a beautiful dance. As they sat in the room, none of them was the first to speak.

Su Jin smiled as she sipped her tea. She was also waiting, waiting for them to accept what she just said. She wanted these three people to do her a favor. She wanted to test if they really cared about her. Perhaps others would think that everything she said was too naive, but she knew that the three of them would not give up so easily. Since they were unwilling to give up, why didn't she use their feelings for her, even if they knew that she was using them?

"Jin, are you sure this is good?" He felt that if he just sat there like this and didn't have these two people in front of him, then it would be like back then, when she came to him with a warm enthusiasm to let him see An Ning of the Celestials and Demons for a year. But even so, a year had ultimately become a thorn in their hearts.

She had married him and become his wife. The two of them had relied on that bet for several years to become husband and wife, but in the end …

"I'm sure." Temporarily letting her have a place to struggle and finding the answer was what she needed to do. As for her relationship with the three of them, she believed that in the next few years, she would see the person she had chosen in her heart.

"I think it's not bad. At least my old man won't force me to find someone. That way, my problem will be solved. So, you've already thought about it?"

"I don't agree. I don't want our relationship to become like this." If it was just a trade, then what was the difference between him and Jin'er? A relationship that could not be made public. Why did he do this?

It has nothing to do with me. This is the biggest concession I have made, if you don't agree, they will agree, and I will make this deal with the person who agrees. Young Master Sikong, you can do what you did a few days ago and hit me hard on the chest, and keep me by your side.

Sikong Qingqing clenched his fist. These words stung his heart. Back then, why did he get invaded by demonic energy and do something that made him regret it so much? When Jin'er mentioned it, she would grind her teeth and wish him dead. At the side, Huo Mingxiao only carried a hint of ridicule. He only felt that the two men in front of him were very annoying.

"Maybe you think I'm really what other people say I am. I can use anything for myself, even my body. However, compared to my life, I still want to keep my life. "What's more …" Her gaze landed on the three men with different personalities. She looked at them with some coldness and some distrust. The corner of her mouth raised into a curve, but she discovered that it seemed to be slightly painful.

She placed her hand on her mouth. Huo Ming Xiao probably didn't know about the pain there, so it hadn't gotten any better in this period of time. As long as she showed an exaggerated expression, she would feel the pain.

"No matter what you think, this is what I want. I will not live under your watchful eyes at all times, and you have never asked me what I want. What you want is only my body. Since I've already given it to you, is there anything else that you're not satisfied with? "

He seemed to be selling himself with some helplessness. Huo Ming Xiao frowned. The words that Su Jin Xiao said didn't mean that she was going to sell herself.

"Jin, I think I need to remind you that in three years, each of us has to rely on our own ability to obtain your heart, and if you are unwilling to do something during this period of time, no one can force us to do it, and no one can use underhanded means to get you either. "This is a prince's agreement. I believe that as a businessman, the word 'good faith' should be understood."

Su Jin felt like she was smiling for a moment, but she really couldn't show any more expression at the corner of her mouth. This action was seen by the three of them. Lu Feiyuan suddenly realized that he was not smiling at all today. Huo Mingxiao, on the other hand, had a deep expression on his face. Sikong Qing, who was sitting opposite of him, was filled with a sharp glint.

"Of course." She rubbed the corner of her mouth and said slowly, "I don't want to end up imprisoned or bleeding after dating someone. You can use some methods to make the scars on my body invisible, but you can't see the scars on the surface. There will always be something left in your heart, so I hope you can abide by the agreement between the two of you. " As she said this, she intentionally or unintentionally looked towards Huo Mingxiao and Sikong Qingqing. They naturally understood who these words were meant for. As for Lu Feiyuan, he was stunned by what he heard.

"Cough cough, I feel like you have forgotten about me. Xiaoxiao, I don't want to be as uncaring as some people. This way, can I reserve a time for you to celebrate the new year? You know, that group of people, even the family feast is giving me a headache."

The three of them raised their eyebrows at the same time. To make an appointment so quickly, were they going to let them reserve three years of her time?

Lu Feiyuan shrugged his shoulders. He only talked about the predicament he was in that day. As the son of an influential family, he was the only heir to the family, but people kept nagging at him about it. Even if he was wandering among the flowers, he had never thought about the possibility of letting those with special requests become his wife. The Lu family's matriarch did not need to be so cunning.

"Sure." Originally, Su Jin would smile happily upon seeing him like this, but now her expression was stiff.

Huo Ming Xiao stood up and moved in front of her. He placed his finger on her lips and examined it for a while. Then, the two of them glared at him with a murderous glare.

"It's a bit lacerated. It seems like it's been a few days. Why didn't you say so?" The feeling of having excluded the other two made the two of them feel extremely unhappy. Since when did this fellow have the guts to touch their people?

"Nothing at first, but then I realized that it wasn't good, so it's fine even if I don't laugh, but these two days it seems to have gotten worse, probably the aftereffects from last time." I'd better see a doctor. " Her words intentionally or unintentionally pointed to someone's evil deeds. Now that Su Jin laughed and ignored him, he knew the reason. This kind of injury wasn't something that an ordinary person could bear, but he did it on purpose.

Su Jin smiled and rubbed his hands. Lu Feiyuan felt a little embarrassed. The atmosphere between the two of them just now was so warm and natural that it made people angry. However, some people were even more angry. After all, their faces were livid.

"Jin'er, I'm sorry." He did not wish for Jin'er to be estranged from him forever. Even if those things had been controlling her mind the last time, when he looked at the current Su Jin, he knew that she had never remembered the hatred and hatred in her eyes when she suddenly attacked.

Those memories that were once unbearable to him had long since been destroyed by him. Even if there were still memories, they were only fragments of memories. How much more could she remember after the person named Muyi Soaring Clouds had washed it up? It was naive of Huo Mingxiao to want her to remember all that had happened between him and her. Even if she remembered, all the grudges she had with him would still be gone.

However, the current Su Jin was still smiling. However, she was not the Su Jin from before, she was not the Su Jin who had gone deep into her memories and became cold-blooded, but still remembered that person's warmth.

"Alright, I accept this apology. In that case, the three of you, let's cooperate happily." As she spoke, she extended her hand.
