"My mother left Funing before I had much memory, and she might no longer be in Fuding. There are very few Lan clan members in Fuding, almost no descendants, so I openly used the surname Lan when searching everywhere, perhaps this would help my mother find me. I definitely didn't mean to hide it from you."

This was the first time that Helan Ruizhe mentioned his mother in front of Jin Suting.

Jin Suting just remained silent, silent, and always silent.

After a long time, so long that Helan Ruizhe's knuckles turned white from tugging at him, Jin Suting finally said, "I understand."

Her voice seemed a little choked with emotion. She looked across at the boy, whose hair was stained with light, and could only imagine how gentle and special his mother was. He must have been very sad to be away from his mother for so long.

She suddenly wanted to take his hand and say, "It's okay, I'll go with you to find your mother. It doesn't matter how long it takes." But it seemed that the familiar tone was not suitable for the context at the moment, or perhaps there was still a missing reason.

Without waiting for Helan Ruizhe to speak, she continued, "But Helan Ruizhe, do you know? The reason I was so angry yesterday was that I trusted you very much, but you made me feel that I didn't even have the right to know your true identity. I was tortured by this idea again and again. I told myself over and over again that Helan Ruizhe was not that kind of person. He said that he loved me, trusted me, and would be with me forever. But I am really so realistic. I only believe what I see with my own eyes and what I understand after my eyes reflect back to me. You didn't give me a reasonable explanation, and you made me misunderstand you for so long. I don't know whether I should hate myself or hate you."

"Actually, I also want you to know that I, Jin Suting, am not some messed-up person. I am worthy of your trust. Whether it's A-lan or Helan Ruizhe, I truly love you as a person, not a title or an identity."

"So from now on, you have to trust me and don't lie to me again, okay?"

She looked at Helan Ruizhe with tears in her eyes. Helan Ruizhe also looked at her, and gently wiped away her tears bit by bit. Then he gently but powerfully held her in his arms, as if he was protecting the most precious thing, carefully but powerfully.

"good."

"I, Helan Ruizhe, will never deceive Jin Suting again in this life, the next life, or even three lives."

What he said was not nice, but it came from the heart.

Everything was confessed today, and Jin Suting also faced her own heart. She really, really, really likes Helan Ruizhe.

It's not the kind of love between friends, nor the kind between family members. It's the kind of love that's real, passionate, and powerful enough to possess.

Jin Suting suddenly pushed Helan Ruizhe away, wiped away her tears, and said, "But I found a problem."

Helan Ruizhe suddenly left Xiangruan's embrace, still a little unresponsive, and subconsciously replied: "What?"

"I found that I really hate Tang Ruozhi."

“Puff—”

Helan Ruizhe laughed out loud. It was no use bringing up such a bitter and vengeful situation. He pinched the tip of Jin Suting's nose lovingly. "Okay, from now on I will definitely stay away from her. No one will get within three meters of her, okay?"

"No," Jin Suting suddenly realized. With her tearful eyes, she looked like a kitten, making people want to hug her. "I hate all women, especially the ones around you."

Unexpectedly, this little kitten had such a strong possessiveness. Helan Ruizhe smiled helplessly and dotingly.

What can I do when faced with unreasonable and arrogant demands? I can only spoil my own wife.

"Okay," Helan Ruizhe said with a smile, "I'll do whatever you want."

But, there are no women around Helan Ruizhe.

Even if there was a woman, she was forced upon him by the Queen Mother.

He doesn't care if he doesn't like it or doesn't want it, so what if he is forced to accept it?

Only after he held Jin Suting in his arms again did Helan Ruizhe smile with satisfaction.

It turns out that his girl forgives him so easily and is so easily satisfied.

But when he saw her crying, he felt a pain he had never felt before. He swore that he would never let his girl shed a tear again.

In fact, it’s not that Jin Suting is tolerant and generous and doesn’t forgive him easily. She is easily angered and likes to hold grudges.

It's not just because she still loves this person, so he will become an exception, a special person who is different from others in her eyes.

There are some things that can only be said to him, and some things that can only be done with him.

She once heard a saying: A sense of security is not a preference, but an exception, it means being treated differently from everyone else.

She also wanted to be an exception with Helan Ruizhe. She nestled in his arms and asked in a low, muffled voice, "Can you tell me about Shi Ran?"

When Helan Ruizhe heard the name, his body trembled slightly uncontrollably. He lowered his head and asked Jin Suting how she knew Shi Ran.

Jin Suting noticed Helan Ruizhe's awkwardness and felt a little disappointed. As for the question Helan Ruizhe asked, she thought that she couldn't expose Yu Qinglan, so she replied, "Well, I didn't just appear out of thin air in Fuding. For the past sixteen years, your love story with Miss Shi Ran has been a hot topic."

The obvious jealousy in his tone made Helan Ruizhe chuckle softly. He said, "What love story? Those are just rumors. Shi Ran is just my sister."

The last sentence doesn't sound very warm, perhaps as if the person who said it has also lost his warmth forever.

Jin Suting felt something, escaped from Helan Ruizhe's arms, and said: "I'm sorry, I don't know. But if you don't want to talk about her, it doesn't matter." I just want to know more about your past.
