Huo Yelin briefly introduced Zhao Yelin's Rose Manor to Shao Zhuohai. Not only did the manor plant roses of all kinds, there were also other flower varieties that were currently popular in overseas markets.

Zhao Yelin was very glad that she did her homework in advance, so that she could answer Shao Zhuo Hai's questions first. She didn't seem like an amateur. Huo Yelin would naturally answer any questions that he couldn't.

Zhao Yilin looked at him with envy and admiration.

Her expression was noticed by Shao Qian, who stood silently at the side. She held her wine cup as she slowly walked to Lin Xiao's side and whispered, "I know you don't want to marry me."

Lin Xiao glanced at her but did not say anything.

"Actually, I don't really like this marriage. After all, as a woman, marrying a man you like makes you happy, don't you think?"

Lin Xiao said in a deep voice, "Weren't you the one who proposed the marriage to my father?"

Shao Qian nodded. "Yes, because at that time, I didn't know that you already had someone you liked, nor did I know that Ye Lin still remembered me."

Lin Xiao's heart chilled, "What do you mean? What do you mean he remembers you? "

Shao Qian's eyes were a little dazed, as if she was reminiscing about the past, "When we were playing together, he said he wanted to marry me." "Unfortunately, after I moved away, he seemed to have forgotten about it and didn't come back to see me."

Lin Xiao faintly said, "Who still remembers the words that I said when I was young? Moreover, those words cannot be counted."

Shao Qian said, "No, he still remembers." When I mentioned the past, his eyes changed and were filled with nostalgia. "

Lin Xiao was a bit surprised as she looked at her. "I didn't think that you would have such an innocent time. How could the words of a child be counted? Most importantly, his heart already belongs to someone."

He pointed at Zhao Yilin with his chin.

Shao Qian knew what he meant, but she didn't look at Zhao Yelin. Instead, she locked her gaze onto Huo Yelin's face.

At this moment, Huo Yelin seemed to have sensed her gaze and their gazes met in midair for a moment before separating.

Shao Qian smiled proudly and said to Lin Xiao, "Did you see that?" He not only remembers me, but he remembers the oath. There are always a few men in the world who take a vow more seriously than their own lives. " She hit Lin Xiao's hand with the cup and said, "Cheeers, it was for me and his meeting."

After the banquet was over, Huo Yelin went straight to Huo Qiang to discuss what to do next.

On the other hand, Zhao Yelin and Lin Xiao went back to Huo Yelin's villa to discuss how to contact Xin Ying.

"You have to sit down and have a good talk," said Zhao Yilin.

Lin Xiao said, "That's what I've always thought, but Yingying's attitude is very resolute, like a wounded hedgehog. No matter what I say or do, she won't accept it."

Zhao Yilin pointed to the sofa in the living room and said, "Don't worry. Take a seat first. I need to change my clothes and take off my makeup."

Lin Xiao nodded his head. Seeing her go upstairs, he suddenly remembered what Shao Qian had said and wanted to talk properly when she came down.

Zhao Yelin was in the bathroom taking off her makeup. After washing her face, she looked up at herself in the mirror and thought about how Huo Yelin looked at Shao Qian. She felt a little uncomfortable.

"Am I being too sensitive?" She mumbled to herself as she took a handful of water and placed it on her face. It was so cold that she shivered.

She was not afraid of Zhao Yueran. She dared to fight against Lilith on the condition that Huo Yelin did not like them at all.

However, Huo Yelin's gaze towards Shao Qian contained too much information, and he even … Affection.

Zhao Yilin shook her head furiously, "I'm thinking too much again!" We've only met once when we were young, what sort of feelings can we possibly have for each other? "

She kept comforting herself until her mood calmed down. But when she went downstairs to the living room, Lin Xiao brought up the matter again. She also said that Shao Qian wanted Huo Yelin to fulfill his promise and marry her.

Zhao Yilin held her head in her hands, her forehead resting on her knees. She looked depressed.

Lin Xiao shook her shoulders and said, "Are you alright? I haven't even fallen yet. Don't fall first. "

Zhao Yilin sounded upset. "Ye Lin is too popular. I'm like a gatekeeper. I'm always on tenterhooks. Fighting with Third Young Master all over the world is tiring."

"Don't!" Lin Xiao said anxiously, "As the saying goes, good things come too slowly. The two of you will soon be able to cultivate to perfection. It's normal for you to run into some rough times." Furthermore, how could Ye Lin agree to such a matter? It's too funny. "

Zhao Yilin raised her head and looked at him, "So what if he doesn't agree? There's always a chance to have feelings for him. "I didn't expect him to be such an emotional person when he was young, showing mercy everywhere and even saying such words. I'm really not ashamed of myself."

Lin Xiao did not think much of it. Seeing how jealous she looked, she smiled and said, "If you want to say this to Shao Qian, then don't be ashamed. She'll agree to your request."

Zhao Yilin thought of this and felt annoyed. She waved her hand and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's discuss how you're going to meet Yingying first."

Thinking of this matter, Lin Xiao felt extremely distressed, "I think that cancelling the engagement shouldn't be difficult, but it's hard to find a way for Yingying to let go of the knot in her heart and be willing to be together with me."

Zhao Yilin stared at him seriously and said, "Lin Xiao, tell me the truth, how much do you like Yingying?"

Lin Xiao's expression also became extremely solemn. "I've loved anyone in this world before."

Zhao Yilin stared into his eyes and said, "Ye Lin and I have come up with a bold plan. I don't know if you're willing or not, but it's a plan that will cost you everything for the time being."

Lin Xiao laughed, "After the plan succeeds, Yingying will be willing to marry me?"

"Yes!"

"Good!" I agree and I will cooperate fully. "

A few days later, Huo Yelin got off work and prepared to return to the villa. He took the elevator down to the underground parking lot and saw Shao Qian standing next to his car from a distance.

"You have something to talk to me about?" Huo Yelin, who was standing behind her, asked.

Shao Qian was startled. She turned her head and smiled. "I wanted to talk to you. I didn't expect you to work so late."

Huo Yelin looked around, "You've been waiting here all this time?"

Shao Qian gestured and said, "Yes, I've been waiting for you for two hours."

When she said this, Huo Yelin found it rather embarrassing to chase her away. He could only open the car door and say, "Then let's go eat dinner nearby."

"Alright." Shao Qian got in the car very generously. Huo Yelin stood outside the car and called Zhao Yelin. The phone had not rung for a long time, so he hung up and sent a message to her via voice message before opening the door and getting in the car.

At the same time, Zhao Yilin was preparing lunch in the kitchen. The meat was cooking and smoking. The phone was lying on the coffee table in the living room, buzzing. She couldn't hear it at all.

She was in a very good mood today, because after the banquet that day, Ye Lin's attitude towards her had not changed, and he had not seen anyone he should not have. She felt that she was too sensitive. How could the words of a child be taken seriously? Moreover, Ye Lin had already said that he didn't remember, so even if Shao Qian had any thoughts, it wouldn't be of any use.

When the dishes were ready, Zhao Yilin and the servant placed the dishes on the table and sat at the dining table. They waited for a long time.

"Strange, didn't young master say that we could reach home by seven?" Wen Chong walked in from outside. He was preparing to take the bus, but no one came for a long time.

Zhao Yilin thought for a moment before rushing to the living room to pick up the phone. Sure enough, there was a missed call and a voice message.

"Yilin, Shao Qian and I are going for dinner, don't wait for me for dinner."

It was a simple sentence, but it felt like ten tons of oil had been poured onto Zhao Yilin's chest. It was so painful that a small spark could ignite a huge fire.

Zhao Yelin looked at her cellphone, wanting to call him immediately. However, when she recalled the calm tone in Huo Yelin's voice, she realized that he wasn't hiding anything from her and didn't have the right to question him.

There was still a bit of trust between lovers.

Zhao Yilin suppressed her anger and said to Wen Chong, "Ye Lin called. He said he won't be back until around nine in the evening. There's no need to wait, let's eat first. "

After dinner, Zhao Yilin returned to his room and sat on the small sofa with a book in her hands. She didn't even glance at it. The night was getting darker. It was already past nine o'clock, but Huo Yelin had yet to return.

She raised her head and looked at the silver white crescent moon, thinking, "Why can't I be more quick-witted like Shao Qian and find myself a prince charming?"

She remembered that her mother didn't want her to marry into the Wealthy Class. Perhaps, ever since her mother married into the Zhao Family, she would be plagued with such a thing almost every day, without freedom, without happiness, only sadness and fear. That was why she rejected Grandpa Huo's good intentions and gave the jade pendant to Bao Yanyun.

Zhao Yilin put down the book and walked to the desk in the back room. She opened the drawer and took out her mother's diary.

She gently touched the skin of the diary. It was smooth and soft, just like a mother's hand.

Drops of water dripped onto the cover. Zhao Yilin came back to her senses and realized that she was crying. She quickly wiped away her tears and smiled, "As the saying goes, if you don't listen to the words of the old man, you will be at a disadvantage. I didn't listen to your words. But I really do love him, and there's no way out of it. Mom, please help me so that those people who wish to ruin my and Ye Lin's happiness will not be able to do so! "

Zhao Yilin casually flipped through the diary. She had read through the contents carefully, but there were some illustrations on the page. She didn't really understand what they meant. Perhaps it was just a painting drawn on a whim by her mother, but they didn't actually mean anything.

There was a large circle on the page, with a spiral pattern in the center like a maze. There were four people around the circle, roughly drawn, with the head a circle, the body a square, and hands and feet replaced by a straight line. At first, Zhao Yilin didn't realize it was a painting of a person. However, after seeing two of the people with cat heads on their bodies, she had a hunch that they were human beings.

They were looking at the center of the maze, not knowing what they were doing or what game they were playing.

There were a lot of similar illustrations in the thick diary. This one was easy to understand, but she couldn't understand anything else.
