Even a clever woman like Shen Ruozhuo finds herself bewildered when encountering emotional issues, akin to seeing flowers through fog.

She’s perhaps immune to a man’s sweet talk, but when she sees the vulnerable side of the man she knows to be brittle inside despite his fierce exterior, Shen Ruozhuo struggles to resist, her hardened heart begins to soften for this man.

Her rigid back slowly relaxes, she lowers her head, looking at the man who has closed his eyes, seemingly finding some comfort only with her.

Unable to resist, Shen Ruozhuo raises her hand, pats Xi Siwei’s shoulder, and asks, "What’s really going on with you?"

From what Shen Ruozhu understands, Xi Siwei should not be so low-spirited.

"The incident where Qin Mobai was shot last time was orchestrated by my parents."

Shen Ruozhuo gasped, it was actually planned by Xi Siwei’s parents!

"Then what?"

"Then Qin Mobai found out, now my parents are locked up in the villa at Qin Mansion, unable to step outside all day."

"No wonder I haven’t seen them recently," Shen Ruozhuo said coldly, then she considered Xi Siwei’s feelings, "He locked your parents up, you..."

"What can I do? I’m not the heir of the Qin Family, I have no authority to speak in the Qin Family, I can only watch as my parents are confined in a dark room, helpless." Xi Siwei became agitated, he looked up at Shen Ruozhuo, there was unwillingness, there was anger in his eyes.

This side of Xi Siwei made Shen Ruozhuo feel pained.

Someone once said, to win a woman’s heart, you must first have her body.

Shen Ruozhuo gave Xi Siwei her pure body, eventually giving him a sincere heart.

"But, if a mistake is made, one should accept the punishment." Shen Ruozhuo deeply understood this principle; she was now accepting the punishment given by Qin Mobai.

Her future was ruined in an instant, her relationship with her foster parents was on thin ice. If she hadn’t plotted against Lou Xi, would things be different now?

"I understand the principle, but I cannot endure my parents being confined at Qin Mansion with their freedom restricted."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I..." Xi Siwei hesitated, then finally raised his hand to gently caress Shen Ruozhuo’s face, "Luckily, you’ve been by my side all this time."

Shen Ruozhuo suddenly turned her face away, avoiding Xi Siwei’s gaze, "I won’t be anymore. I like you, you like someone else, we can’t be together."

There was a hint of dullness on Shen Ruozhuo’s simple face.

Unexpectedly, with the world spun around, Xi Siwei pressed Shen Ruozhuo onto the single sofa, looking down at the person beneath him.

Shen Ruozhuo is very beautiful, especially with a kind of aggressive beauty, her figure is also very alluring. Such a woman is the dream lover of many men, "I know I wronged you in the past, I now understand who is truly sincere with me. I hope it’s not too late to apologize now."

After saying that, Xi Siwei leaned down to kiss the charming woman.

Shen Ruozhuo paused for a moment, gently pushing Xi Siwei.

Shen Ruozhuo was very nervous.
