She was brewing her emotions when she suddenly heard a bang.

She was startled, and at first she thought someone was breaking in at the door, but after careful identification of the sound just now, she found that the direction was not in the direction of the door.

Under the night light, people's vision quickly adapts.

From the direction of the sofa, she saw a dark figure rising slowly from the ground.

"puff."

Xia Ranran couldn't hold it back and burst out laughing.

She didn't expect that Huo Zhengke, who was already sleeping soundly while she was thinking about it just now, would fall off the sofa.

However, this sofa is short and narrow, which is really aggrieved for a tall and long-legged man like Huo Zhengke.

Huo Zhengke was obviously knocked awake.

He opened his eyes in confusion and rubbed his hair. It was obvious that he hadn't reacted yet and was still in a dazed state from being thrown.

Xia Ranran sat up from the bed and said, "Huo Zhengke, go to bed and sleep."

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Xia Ranran, but also Huo Zhengke, who had seemed a little confused just now, suddenly woke up.

He opened his eyes and looked at Xia Ranran, "Where?"

"..."

Xia Ranran said with a sullen face, "The bed is so big anyway, it won't be too big for the two of us if you go up to sleep. Judging from your expression, I know that you must be thinking wrongly, so stop thinking about it."

Huo Zhengke really woke up at this time.

He walked over with a smile, "If you invite me like this, I don't want to call it abnormal."

He sat directly on the bed next to Xia Ranran, and the mattress collapsed immediately.

Xia Ranran's whole body's nerves suddenly became tense and she glared at Huo Zhengke: "I'm warning you, don't be stupid."

Huo Zhengke took off his shoes and lay directly on the inside of the bed.

"It's too late for you to regret it now."

"..."

This man really saw through Xia Ranran's deepest thoughts.

She really almost wanted to regret it.

She glanced at the double bed and felt that Huo Zhengke would not dare to do anything to her in such a territory.

Huo Zhengke looked at Xia Ranran's cautious look and burst out laughing, "Would you like to put a bowl of water in the middle?"

Xia Ranran glared at him, "I do think so!"

Huo Zhengke spread his hands and said, "Okay."

"..."

Anyway, it was a matter of competition between men like Huo Zhengke and who was thick-skinned. No one could compare to him.

Xia Ranran simply turned her back and occupied the narrow part of the bed.

She was thin and tall. She huddled beside the bed and had no sense of existence at all.

Xia Ranran thought she would continue to suffer from insomnia. She didn't know whether it was the sleepiness she had just cultivated that was so effective or the sleepiness that came over her. She fell into a deep sleep within a short while of lying on the bed.

Huo Zhengke moved very lightly and slowly on the bed.

He came over and took a look at Xia Ranran's face: "Xia Ranran?"

Xia Ranran didn't react, just murmured softly on her lips.

Appears to be fast asleep.

Huo Zhengke looked at her sleeping face quietly.

He never realized when he started to like her.

Perhaps it was this period of time spent together day and night that made him now...

I don’t know where the love comes from, but I am deeply in love.

In fact, if it weren't for Huo Jingshen, it would have been impossible for him and Xia Ranran to have a close relationship.

But maybe fate is such a magical thing.

…………

Had a great night's sleep.

The next morning, the butler of Hongye Manor brought delicious breakfast and after-dinner fruits.

This time, after last night's analysis with Huo Zhengke, Xia Ranran didn't just eat rice, she also ate some toast and bacon.

On this day, except that Xia Ranran was still restricted from going out, she had all the best food and supplies.

Huo Zhengke ate the grapes in his hand, tsked his lips and shook his head.

"No wonder Zhang Keli doesn't miss Shu anymore."

Xia Ranran was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong with Zhang Keli?"

"In the past two months, Huo Jingshen actually looked for Zhang Keli, and Zhang Keli also followed Huo Jingshen. It was because of Zhang Keli's running around that Long Qihui was put in danger."

Huo Zhengke paused, "If it were me, with such delicious food and drink, I wouldn't want to cooperate and go back."

"You mean, Zhang Keli is here, not suffering as a hostage?" Xia Ranran really didn't expect it.

"At first, I might have threatened you with torture, but as for Zhang Keli, how should I put it? She has been spoiled by Mr. Zhang since she was a child. If she can't stand it, she will definitely surrender."

"Then Zhang Peng used Zhang Keli to threaten Huo Jingshen. Is it all a lie?"

"Yes." Huo Zhengke said firmly.

The expression on Xia Ranran's face changed instantly.

From the beginning, she felt sympathy for Zhang Keli, whose father died, but now, she feels that Zhang Keli is a heinous liar.

"But you don't have to be too biased towards Huo Jingshen," Huo Zhengke said at the opportunity, "One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. Do you think Huo Jingshen can't see things that I can see clearly? Then you are too young. Look at Huo Jingshen."

Xia Ranran turned her head and said, "You mean, he knows?"

"Yes," Huo Zhengke said, "I'm sure."

"Why do you still accept Zhang Peng's threats?"

Huo Zhengke frowned.

Xia Ranran's question flashed through his mind quickly, leaving almost no trace.

He actually didn't know why Huo Jingshen would do this deliberately.

but……

Now that Huo Jingshen is dead, why should he consider the thoughts of a dead person?Now Huo Jingshen no longer poses a threat to him.

Xia Ranran's frowned eyebrows did not relax anymore.

Is this really what Huo Zhengke said?

In this way, Xia Ranran and Huo Zhengke were locked up in Hongye Manor and entertained with delicious food and drinks. In the meantime, they went out to see a flower show in the garden outside. Two days passed.

The evening of the third day was the scheduled succession ceremony for Zhang Peng.

Before the banquet ceremony, Xia Ranran finally met Zhang Peng.

Before Zhang Peng came, the housekeeper had already come over and told him in advance.

Xia Ranran and Huo Zhengke looked at each other, narrowed their eyes slightly, and nodded.

Zhang Peng is short, dark-skinned, not very good-looking, and has a bit of a sinister look.

Zhang Peng walked in with a smile and immediately extended his hand to Xia Ranran: "This must be Miss Xia."

Xia Ranran noticed the connotation in Zhang Peng's words.

She smiled slightly and said, "You must have called me wrong. I am Mrs. Huo."

This sentence vindicated her own name and also vindicated Huo Jingshen's name.

When she saw Zhang Peng now, she couldn't wait to step forward and grab his throat with both hands!
