"Stop with the nonsense . I won't do anything today for the sake of your brother, but if you keep acting like this, I won't forgive you . " Shen Mingxi glared at Wei Ying .
She knew he wasn't kidding because his expression just now was indeed frightening .
After warning Wei Ying, Shen Mingxi, Huo Yanyan, and Tiantian left the shopping mall, marking the end of a dramatic almost-catfight .
Wei Ying was here to shop her troubles away, but what happened left her sadder than ever . She fell to the floor, wailing and crying .
- Half an hour later, at a restaurant -

"You don't have to be so polite to Wei Ying in the future, I'll have someone protect you and Tiantian," Shen Mingxi said quietly .
"The truth is, I understand her actions . " Huo Yanyan smiled .
"You do?" Shen Mingxi slowly looked up in surprise .
"Back then when my dad was still alive and our family strived, I was just like her – arrogant and prideful . I thought I was better than everyone else, and I did whatever I wanted to… I used to pick on Mian the way Wei Ying picks on me…"
"You used to pick on Huo Mian?" Shen Mingxi asked with surprise .

Huo Yanyan took a small bite of ice cream and replied with a smile, "Back then I was young and naïve and was jealous of how everyone seemed to like Mian, so I picked on her whenever I could… Thank goodness she never took my actions back then to heart because when I fell, Mian helped me up . She helped me see how petty I was back then… Humans all grow up amidst adversity, and so did I . I don't blame Wei Ying, she still needs time for everything to sink in and one day, she will understand . "
"Yanyan… The person you are right now is more and more . . . " Shen Mingxi looked at Huo Yanyan, his emotions complicated and all over the place . He sometimes wondered why he became so obsessed with this woman .
"I'm what?" Huo Yanyan smiled elegantly .
"More and more interesting…" he finally said .
Huo Yanyan smiled faintly and fell silent; compared to Wei Ying's desperate wails, Shen Mingxi much preferred Huo Yingying's calm demeanor .

A lot of the time women were appreciated not for their looks and family background but rather, for their wisdom and character .
Only now did Huo Yanyan understand why Huo Mian was liked by so many people – she was not only calm and lowkey, but also wise and understanding . Huo Yanyan would have probably fallen for Huo Mian as well if she were a man .
"You and Huo Mian seemed to have had a long conversation at Ni Yang's wedding . What was it? Did she blame you?" Shen Mingxi asked .
"She didn't… Mian never outright scolds people for their actions, and she only hinted at me . I'm okay with her not understanding me because our lives have been so different…"
"You're much more sympathetic these days…" Shen Mingxi exclaimed .
"Yeah, I wonder if you would have still married Wei Ying had I not acted like a little brat back then… That way, you wouldn't have married Wei Ying, and neither of us would have had to suffer through a failed first marriage… You never know, maybe we would've had our own children by now . " Huo Yanyan smiled .
"It's not too late right now… after I'm done the company work on my hands right now, I'll take you home to meet my parents… Then, we'll have a child of our own . Of course, I'll always treat Tiantian like my own as well," Shen Mingxi slowly said .
Huo Yanyan's heart fluttered; Shen Mingxi's words were so calm, yet they stirred up a hurricane inside her .
"What's with the face? You don't want to marry me and have my children?" Shen Mingxi smiled at Huo Yanyan as he made a rare joke .
