It wasn't until night fell that Si Yancheng sent Meng Xi and Huo Sinian back to Meng's house, but he unexpectedly ran into Huo Shen at the door.

He stood at the door, looking like he was about to go in, and there was no one around him.

"You still know to come?" Huo Sinian became furious when he saw him, and complained, but he still took Meng Xi's hand and dragged her to Huo Shen.

Si Yancheng at the side almost saw him, his eyes showed a chill, which could almost shoot people through.

But Huo Shen was not an ordinary person, he accepted Si Yancheng's gaze calmly and calmly, his expressionless expression seemed to be provocative no matter what.

Meng Xi had been very happy all day, and the feeling of being blocked in his heart was much better.But seeing this person standing in front of him now, he still couldn't help but recall the past.

Meng Xi lowered his gaze slightly, looking at Huo Shen's spotless shoes, his mind was in a mess, he didn't know what he was thinking, he just wanted to escape here quickly, and didn't want to see him.

"What are you doing here?" Si Yancheng saw the sadness on Meng Xi's face, clenched his fists and asked.

"It has nothing to do with you." Huo Shen only glanced at him lightly, not focusing on Si Yancheng.

He stared at Meng Xi, with a trace of concern in his eyes that he didn't even notice.

Apart from being the mother of his child, this human woman logically has no relationship with him.

Huo Shen has also been used to it, and only treats her as a stranger.

But for some reason, after coming out of the Land of Annihilation that day, Huo Shen's mind often flashed to the moment when he flew past Meng Xi, the tear that fell from the corner of her eye.

So I couldn't help but want to come and see for myself if she was safe.

"It has nothing to do with me, but the matter of Xiaoxi has nothing to do with you, please leave here." Si Yancheng couldn't help it when he saw the anger suppressed in his heart, and directly issued the order to evict the guest.

"I'm not here to look for you. What's your relationship with the Meng family? It's their turn to make decisions for them?" Huo Shen's eyes turned cold when he heard this, and he said lightly.

"you--"

"Okay." Meng Xi felt extremely headache when he heard the two of them quarreling, "Let's talk here if you have anything to say."

Huo Shen noticed the indifferent frown on Meng Xi's face and inadvertently frowned slightly, and spoke out his real purpose for coming today:
"Do you know anything about Huo Lingyue?"

Hearing Huo Lingyue's name, Meng Xi felt another stabbing pain in his heart. Even Huo Sinian, who was next to him, couldn't stand listening to it anymore, so he began to educate his father:

"Are you out of your mind? You're still mentioning that woman's name in front of my mother at this time!"

"This is between me and her." Huo Shen looked down at his son, very dissatisfied with his tone.

"You don't remember Huo Lingyue either?" Meng Xi took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her emotions, raised her head to look at him, and asked calmly.

"Hmm." Huo Shen nodded slightly, obviously he was a little concerned about his memory loss.

It's just that he didn't know how much this answer hurt Meng Xi.

If he still remembers his relationship with Huo Lingyue, Meng Xi can still convince himself that it's just because he doesn't remember himself.

If I remembered, the person I saved might be her.

However, Huo Shen wanted to break even her last extravagant hope with his own hands.

Huo Lingyue, like himself, was someone he didn't remember at all in his eyes, and he even had a son with him, but at such a critical moment, Huo Shen chose Huo Lingyue.

Meng Xi gave a wry smile for no reason, the grief in his eyes made Huo Shen feel flustered for some reason.

"Ren said she used to be my adoptive mother..."

He just opened his mouth to say something, but Huo Sinian next to him couldn't help it anymore, put his hands on his hips, looked up at his father, frowned and said:

"I understand, so you bullied mom again because of that woman?"

Although Huo Sinian wanted to match Meng Xi and Huo Shen together, but only then did he know that Huo Shen was still in Meng Xi's heart.

But now, Huo Shen took advantage of her liking and broke Meng Xi's heart again.

Huo Sinian was always on his mother's side unconditionally. He didn't want to see Meng Xi sad, so he couldn't help but blame him, and even began to doubt whether his previous thoughts were right or wrong.

"Stop talking." Meng Xi took a deep breath and interrupted him, not wanting to stay here any longer.

After a while, she was afraid that she would not be able to hold back her tears, and would continue to be ashamed in front of Huo Shen.

"About her, you can ask Ren by yourself. If there is nothing else, I will go in first."

Although Meng Xi didn't look at Huo Shen's expression, he turned around and walked towards the house sullenly.

"I hope you don't bother him again in the future, you will only hurt Xiaoxi!" Si Yancheng felt extremely distressed when he witnessed the whole process.

The girl he held dear in his hands was spoiled by anyone in this way.

Si Yancheng was furious, but he had no position to teach him a lesson, so he could only say so.

Huo Shen looked at the back of Si Yancheng and his son rushing into the door angrily, and felt a little confused for a moment.

For the first time, he began to doubt the decision he made. Did he really make a mistake that day in the Land of Annihilation?

But Huo Shen was Huo Shen. His usual strength and arrogance did not allow him to have such doubts about himself. After only one second, he denied this idea, turned around and left.

It was only after Meng Xi entered that she realized that Hong Wenyan was also here.

He was sitting in the living room with Du Meijun, with a half-drunk cup of tea in front of him, it seemed that he had been here for a long time.

"You guys are back. He has been waiting for you here for almost half an hour. Why is it so late?"

Seeing Meng Xi coming in, Du Meijun stood up and said.

"I came back late after having fun." Meng Xi tried hard to put on a smiling face, not wanting Du Meijun to notice that something was wrong.

Si Yancheng followed Meng Xi into the door, and was not surprised when he saw Hong Wenyan. He just asked lightly, "Is everything settled?"

"Then you guys talk, I'll go upstairs first." Seeing that they had something to say, Du Meijun touched the top of her grandson's head caressingly, then turned and went back to the room.

"Well, the person who was in the Land of Annihilation that day was indeed one of the former Ghost King's old minions. But they acted too carefully. I checked and found only traces of him, and he had already died in the Land of Annihilation."

Hong Wenyan's face was very ugly. When he said this, he glanced at Meng Xi who was sitting next to him, and added another paragraph angrily:

"But the other party will definitely not give up so easily. This period of time is troublesome. You'd better be careful, especially her."

Everyone present could hear the Qianlu in Hong Wenyan's tone.Meng Xi knew what he meant, so he didn't speak, but Huo Sinian next to him couldn't help it:

"What do you mean? You don't have to worry about mom, I will protect her!"

"You? Then how did she have an accident in the Land of Annihilation last time?"

Hong Wenyan didn't know why he looked particularly angry today, so he frowned and asked coldly.

Huo Sinian was immediately questioned and couldn't refute. Out of his trust in Huo Shen last time, Meng Xi did have an accident under his nose, which Huo Sinian couldn't explain.

Seeing that he had lost his voice, Hong Wenyan sneered, glanced at Si Yancheng and said, "If it wasn't for him—"

"Okay." Seeing his emotions getting more and more angry, Si Yancheng couldn't help frowning and interrupted.

The atmosphere in the living room fell into embarrassment, and no one opened their mouths for a while.

"By the way, Yan Cheng, I've always wanted to ask you, are you really going to endure the 10-year trial of the dark abyss? Are you really rushing out 5 years in advance for me?"

In fact, Meng Xi already believed what Hong Wenyan said the last time, but she still wanted to make it clear in person.

When Si Yancheng heard this, he knew that Hong Wenyan had told her everything, so he nodded silently.

"Don't blame him, Hong Wenyan has always been for your own good. It's just that I hope you don't do anything impulsively, at least you need to tell me in advance."

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, seeing Si Yancheng admit it personally, Meng Xi was still shocked severely.

The man in front of him has paid so much for him, but he has been hiding in the dark.

Just like the last time when he faced a car accident, he was able to stand in front of her subconsciously regardless of his body, Si Yancheng has been standing behind her silently to resist the harm for her.

But thinking that he didn't know anything, after so many years, Meng Xi only felt extremely distressed.

"Xiaoxi, don't feel burdened, I do this willingly, I..."

"I know, but so what? Yan Cheng, if the price of my life is that another person bears the pain for me, then I would rather not have such a life."

Meng Xi looked at him firmly, and finally expressed his truest thoughts: "Please don't hide it from me in the future, at least let me know what you have done for me, so that I can repay you."

Meng Xi didn't want to continue being a fool anymore.This feeling of being kept in the dark is very uncomfortable, and she wants to do her best to make up for Si Yancheng.

"...Okay." After a pause, Si Yancheng finally nodded, and a smile appeared on Meng Xi's face.

"Then since you escaped early, what will happen when you come out?" Meng Xi was very worried about this question, so he took advantage of this moment to ask.

"Don't worry about this for the time being." Before Si Yancheng could answer, Hong Wenyan next to him said.

"Yan Luo has been in some trouble recently. There is still a lot of work to be done last time. They can't take care of your business for the time being."

Hong Wenyan just didn't want to see Si Yancheng give those things silently, but after hearing what Meng Xi said just now, he also calmed down.

"Don't worry, I'll go back and hold you down first, and nothing will happen for the time being."

"Well, then I'll stay with Xiaoxi and protect her during this time." Si Yancheng was very worried, especially Huo Shen, he had to see Mengxi was safe with his own eyes.

Meng Xi couldn't say no. After all, it was because of her that Si Yancheng escaped from Beijing in advance, so he asked people to stay at home temporarily.

Si Yancheng really did what he said, and when he had breakfast the next morning, he proposed at the dinner table to escort Meng Xi to work and provide personal protection around the clock.

Du Meijun didn't have any objection to this, she was very grateful that after Si Yancheng appeared, Meng Xi's mood improved a lot.
