Huo Qiang looked at Huo Yelin, his tender feelings for him overflowing. "Even if it's more difficult in the future, do you still want to be together?"

Huo Yelin answered without hesitation, "Yes, grandfather."

He did not look at Zhao Yilin. After all, he was not the only one who could solve this problem with just his eyes and demeanor. Zhao Yilin had to be willing to accompany him on this path …

Zhao Yilin didn't look at him. Her answer was enough to explain everything. If she agreed, not only would she have to face the Zhao Family's crazy counterattack, she would also have to suffer the oppression of the public opinion.

Their marriage didn't even have the blessing of an elder.

But even so, the long journey only required one person to accompany her.

"I'm willing to be with Ye Lin. No matter whether you are poor or rich, I'm willing to die with you."

A smile blossomed in Huo Yelin's eyes. She felt that she had said it too openly, so she felt shy.

Huo Qiang slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he had put down some of his emotions and thoughts.

Huo Yelin held his hand tightly and said, "Grandpa, please take care of your illness and watch how I will get through this."

Huo Qiang did not speak, but his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Are you feeling well?" Zhao Yilin asked.

Huo Qiang was stunned. He seemed to have thought of something, and the mist that was spraying onto the oxygen mask became denser.

On the electrocardiograph monitor, the heart beat faster, the numbers changing from green to orange, orange to red.

Huo Yelin was also getting nervous. "Eli, go get a doctor."

"Yes." Zhao Yilin was about to open the curtain when Huo Qiang said, "If … if Grandpa did something wrong, would you forgive him?"

Zhao Yelin turned around and saw Huo Qiang holding Huo Yelin's hand tightly. His eyes were wide open as he lifted his head, trembling.

As for Huo Yelin, he looked like he had been struck by lightning. He stood there in a daze, his eyes blank, without any emotion in them.

Zhao Yelin did not bother to ask for a doctor. However, after she recalled Huo Qiang's words and Huo Yelin's reaction, she felt that things must not be that simple.

After the rescue, Huo Qiang's condition stabilized.

Huo Yelin tried his best to hide the matter of Huo Qiang's serious illness, but a few days later, the news still reached the ears of the Zhao Family. They did not change their way of doing things; instead, they held a press conference to denounce the Huo Family for not keeping their word and requested Huo Yelin to fulfill the engagement.

Under the pressure of public opinion from the outside world, Huo Qiang announced that he would temporarily hand over all matters of the corporation to Huo Yelin to deal with. After he left the hospital, he would consider the specific distribution of the assets, and he also stressed that the reason why Huo Yelin wasn't allowed to fulfill the marriage contract was because the origin of Bao Yanyun's jade pendant was not right and needed to be thoroughly investigated before it could be decided.

Bao Yanyun did not personally explain to Huo Qiang's words, but only repeatedly emphasized that these were just excuses for the Huo family not wanting to fulfill their promise.

After Huo Yelin took charge of the Huo Group, he suddenly became very busy. He left early every day and came back late. He also had to go to the hospital to accompany Huo Qiang when he had some time to breathe.

Zhao Yilin didn't say anything, nor did she ask any questions. Instead, she calmed down and started studying how to cook Huo Qiang's meal in her free time.

At this moment, she was busy in the kitchen, with Fang Xinying helping her. She seemed to be in a good mood as she hummed a song.

Zhao Yilin was in the middle of slicing the cucumber. She looked up and said, "You're in such a good mood. Are you going to be the prelude to becoming an international superstar?"

Fang Xinying held the scallion in her hand and cupped her hands as she said, "Same here too. Your wife is about to get on duty."

Zhao Yilin stared at her and continued to cut the cucumber. The knife in her hand rang in rhythm.

Fang Xinying's recent acting path was very smooth. The movie "In order to make love come true" had a good box office, and the role of the bitter villain she played was unexpectedly sought after by her fans, causing her popularity to skyrocket. Recently, she had created two famous films.

Seeing her smile, Fang Xinying did not say a word. She pointed the spring onion at her and said, "You're not really planning to be a full wife, are you? Just do as I say!"

Zhao Yilin held the kitchen knife out of the way. "What do you care? You're going to become an international superstar."

"No, when we graduated, we agreed to fight together in the performing arts circle. Now that we've finally made some progress, you can't just leave me behind and leave."

Zhao Yelin moved the sliced cucumber onto a plate, took out the fish in the basin in front of her, and carefully scraped the scales with the knife. In her mind, she could see Huo Yelin's exhausted back as he walked out the door.

Seeing her staring blankly at him, Fang Xinying said angrily, "Hey, why aren't you saying anything?"

"These days," said Zhao, "Ye Lin always leaves early and returns late. He's tired and lonely, so if he needs me, I'm willing to stay at home and be his wife."

"No no, there are so many servants in the villa, there's someone taking care of him even if he eats, drinks and sleeps every day, there's no need to accompany him every day right? To put it crudely, it's better for a newlyweds than a newlyweds. If you stay by your side every day, you'll get tired of it after a long time. "

The fish was still in the pot, making crackling sounds. Zhao Yilin frowned and moved away to avoid the smoke, then gently pushed the fish with the spatula.

"Actually, I have also considered this point and felt that he is an ambitious man who will not stop ascending. If you stay at home, you will soon be eliminated by the society, so you don't consider leaving the show industry at all. "

"However, with my understanding of him, I discovered that he was very afraid of being alone, very afraid that I would ignore him, very afraid that I would not respond to his happiness or anger. If one day he needs me and I can't get back from filming, he would be sitting alone on the sofa in the living room in a daze. Just thinking about this scene makes my heart ache. There's one more thing. " She looked at Fang Xinying and said, "As celebrities, they have to make everything they have public. When Yelin and I have come to such an awkward situation, a large part of the reason is because of the media's public opinion."

Fang Xinying nodded her head in understanding, "I have a deep understanding of the second thing you said. I've gotten to know a little bit of fame recently and realized that life has lost all its privacy. Even a meeting with Lin Xiao would need to be sneaky."

Zhao Yilin asked, "Did Lin Xiao complain?" He's such a carefree person. "

Fang Xinying could not help but smile, "I'm not complaining, I was just asking if I'm willing to reveal my relationship to the public."

Zhao Yilin said in surprise, "You've grown so fast! You're not going to get married, are you? "

Fang Xinying blushed, "No way."

"Then what did you say?"

"I said think about it."

"What are you still thinking about!" Zhao Yilin laughed. "The female celebrities don't care as much about being single as the male celebrities. As long as you say that your target is an outsider, it'll be much easier for you to date her in the future."

Fang Xinying handed the peeled onion to her and said, "Don't talk about me anymore. "How do you plan to deal with the Zhao Family?"

Zhao Yilin's face immediately darkened. "I plan to continue investigating the whereabouts of the other inheritance left behind by my mother, and then sell the rose garden to help Ye Lin directly invest in his coal company so that it can be converted and increased value. If it succeeds, then the Zhao Family's stake is nothing to fear."

Fang Xinying asked, "Did you tell this plan to him?"

Zhao Yilin was fiddling with the fish in the wok, shaking her head helplessly. "I don't know what to say."

"He made me believe him. He's completely capable of settling the issue of the shares. If I say I'm going to take the money to help him, he'll probably be angry again."

Fang Xinying sighed along with him, "He is such a persistent male chauvinist! It's too much for you. "No way, I'll just use a fake name to help him."

Zhao Yilin stopped what she was doing and turned her head to look at Fang Xinying, the corners of her mouth curled up to her ears. "Why didn't I think of that?"

Fang Xinying: "..."

A few days later, Zhao Yilin found senior lawyers and agents to help her sell the rose garden one by one. Before that, as the rose gardens were run by themselves, a large portion of the income would be used as the operating cost for the coming year, the rest would be stored in Wu Yali's account abroad. Looking at the balance in the account, Zhao Yelin thought, "After deducting the expenses of the personnel's relocation, the remaining money should be able to solve the urgent needs of the coal mining company."

Thus, she let the lawyer take the money to make an anonymous investment and happily drove back to the villa.

When Huo Yelin said that he would be home for dinner, Zhao Yelin's mood improved even more. She planned to cook for him personally, but just before dinner, he called again and told her to pick him up at the company.

"No matter what, I'm still a celebrity. It's not good to be seen picking you up from the company."

Huo Yelin's tone was just as domineering as before. "You're allowed to come to my office within an hour."

Zhao Yilin: "…"

Zhao Yiran had no choice but to drive to the office herself. When she got to the door, it was time to get off work. People were coming and going from the entrance, the elevator, and the corridor.

She was wondering how she was going to get in when a truck pulled up in front of the office. Behind it were two large wooden billboards, which the porters were unloading one by one.

Wearing sunglasses, a wig, and a mask, Zhao Yilin came to the side of the billboard as a cover and entered the office.

When the porters took the elevator, Zhao Yilin casually made up an excuse and said that she was a celebrity and had an unsightly face. She wanted to follow them up the freight elevator, but the porter agreed without a second thought.

Before she got on the elevator, Zhao Yelin sent Huo Yelin a text message saying that she was almost there. There was no signal in the elevator, and it was unknown whether Huo Yelin had replied to her messages.

The elevator stopped at the ninth floor and went straight up to the twenty-third floor. The entire floor was filled with executive offices, and these people were all Huo Yelin's trusted subordinates. They would not speak carelessly, so it was fine even if they were seen.

She finally relaxed and walked towards Huo Yelin's office with light steps. In her hands was a pink lunchbox filled with lunches made at noon. She intended to accompany him to taste it in the office later.

Zhao Yilin covered her mouth and laughed. It was so romantic just thinking about it.

When she reached the office, she knocked lightly and made a sweet gesture.

After a few seconds, there was no response.

She knocked a few more times. Still no one.

"That's not possible. Little Dou should also be here." Zhao Yilin held the door handle and pressed it lightly. Surprisingly, the door was not locked. She stuck her head in and found that there was no one inside.

She took out her cell phone and saw something written on it: "Wait for me at the office for a moment."

Zhao Yilin answered sweetly, holding the phone in both hands, "Yes, Your Majesty." Then, a voice message was sent out.

Huo Yelin was in the midst of an inspection. The department manager was currently introducing the new project. He could hear his cell phone ringing and saw the voice message. He could not help but tap his finger.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

A sweet, coquettish voice echoed through the empty corridor.

Huo Yelin held his cellphone and stared blankly for a few seconds. Then, he smiled. "Naughty."
