Xu Chuyuan looked at him subconsciously, with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes.

She had already refused, why was he doing this?

After getting married and then divorced, the only one who benefited from this marriage was the Huo family. It did not bring any benefits to him or the He family.

He Jingxing actually didn't want this to happen.

He knew that treating Xu Chuyuan required sufficient patience.

The more impatient they act, the more likely they are to scare people away.

Just now, he had been paying attention to her mood changes.

When his parents proposed the marriage, and his mother's words of persuasion just now, she was already a little scared.

He Jingxing sighed inwardly, fearing that she might feel disgusted with him, so he had to be roundabout.

Xu Chuyuan's mind was in a mess.

She was very worried about the Huo family, but she couldn't agree to He Jingxing's proposal.

"Brother Jingxing, we should still..."

"Chubao."

He Jingxing interrupted Xu Chuyuan before she refused again.

He spoke slowly in a gentle voice, "In fact, being born into a wealthy family is not necessarily a good thing sometimes, because the responsibilities we bear are sometimes very great, and at this time, we are often forced to do things against our will.

I know that Uncle Huo and his men hope that you can be free and do whatever you want, but what about you? The Huo family is now under attack from all sides and is in a difficult situation. It needs a strong ally. Whether to watch the Huo family fall or to hope to turn the danger into safety, it all depends on your decision.

I hope you won't be so quick to reject me and think about it carefully!"

Xu Chuyuan stammered with her red lips, but couldn't utter a word.

Because He Jingxing's words really affected her mood, she could no longer refuse so easily...

She recalled the years since she returned to the Huo family and the protection she received from her parents and brothers.

They have done so much for me, why can't I do the same now that it's just a marriage?

He Jingxing was right. The He family was indeed a powerful ally. As long as they joined forces with the He family, those who targeted the Huo family might not dare to act rashly.

But she...why couldn't she get over it?

Xu Chuyuan looked a little confused and didn't know what to do.

After a long while, her eyelashes trembled, and she replied to him in a difficult tone: "I'm sorry, Brother Jingxing, I can't answer you about the marriage for the time being. I need to think about it carefully..."

She couldn't agree, nor could she refuse.

At this moment, Xu Chuyuan's mind was in a mess and he didn't know how to continue facing He Jingxing, so he turned around and left the study and went back to his room.

He Jingxing was not surprised at her reaction.

This is the Xu Chuyuan he knew.

She has her own ideas and opinions. She is not fragile and naturally will not easily compromise on things she doesn't want to do.

Looking at her leaving back, He Jingxing sighed deeply.

He was somewhat disgusted with his own behavior tonight.

When will I need to use this method to keep someone by my side?

He smiled bitterly and had no choice but to leave the study.

In the living room, everyone was waiting.

Seeing that only He Jingxing came back, Lin Yu had a premonition in his heart.

She asked, "Jingxing, where is Chubao?"

Although the Huo family's father and sons did not say anything, the look in their eyes when they looked at him was the same as his mother's.

He Jingxing looked normal and said gently, "I went upstairs. I talked to her. Let her think about it carefully first."

When He Yannian and Lin Yu heard him say this, they knew that Xu Chuyuan had not agreed yet.

The couple didn't want to force them, so they didn't mention it again.

Everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, and the He family did not linger any longer and stood up to say goodbye to the Huo family.

After the Huo family father and son sent the person away in a friendly manner, they were a little worried about Xu Chuyuan and hurried upstairs to see her...

After Xu Chuyuan returned to his room, he was still in a bad mood.

The words that He Jingxing said kept echoing in her mind.

At this moment, for some reason, she thought of Bo Yanzhou.

Except when their relationship was bad before, he deliberately made things difficult for me.

Every time he showed up, he helped her for no reason...

Xu Chuyuan suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart, and she missed that man for the first time in her life.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Chuyuan got up to open the door, and then saw his parents and brothers.

Several people stood outside her door, looking at her worriedly.

Xu Chuyuan forced a smile and asked them, "Dad, Mom, brother, why are you here?"

After Xu Qingqiu entered the room, he held his daughter's hand and asked her with concern, "Chubao, what did Jingxing say to you just now?"

Xu Chuyuan replied vaguely: "It's nothing, just talking about the marriage. He... is also concerned about our Huo family."

Huo Yunze narrowed his eyes slightly and said to his daughter in a deep voice, "Chubao, you don't have to worry about the marriage. Although Jingxing is a very good child, if you don't have that intention, Dad will definitely not agree to you marrying him."

Huo Siting also calmly told his sister, "Our Huo family has indeed not reached that point. Even if the He family has good intentions, they don't need you to sacrifice your marriage. Even if we really need to go to the point of an arranged marriage, I will go first, or Si Han, it won't be your turn."

Huo Sihan patted his sister's shoulder and said nonchalantly, "Don't think too much. Your brothers will take care of everything."

When Xu Chuyuan heard his two brothers say this, he felt a little warm in his heart.

Huo Yunze and Xu Qingqiu also agreed with their son.

They looked at their daughter solemnly and told her: "We will never let you sacrifice yourself no matter what."

Their daughter has been living outside for so many years and has only been brought back for a short time. It’s bad enough that she hasn’t enjoyed any happiness. How could they possibly ask her to contribute to the family?

"Ok, I know."

Xu Chuyuan felt touched and his nose felt a little sore.

She nodded and said, "I know my parents and brothers will not let me do anything I don't want to do."

The expression on Huo Yunze's face also relaxed, and he smiled and said, "It's good to know. Don't think too much about it."

Then, he rubbed his daughter's head and said, "Dad and brother have to go to the company first. You and mom should have a good rest at home. It's okay if you don't go to the research institute."

When Xu Chuyuan heard him mention the research institute, he immediately asked, "Have you found the traitor in the outer area? I thought about it carefully, and I realized that it would not be possible for a traitor to steal data overnight.

Perhaps, this infiltration happened earlier than we thought! Maybe there is more than one traitor. If we want to catch them, we have to find a way to eliminate all the troubles in one go."

The daughter's suggestion made the Huo family's father and son all look surprised.

Huo Siting's thoughts gradually came back to him. He raised his hand and gently pushed his glasses, saying, "Chu Bao's idea is similar to mine. Whether it is the data in the outer area or the core area, our family has been in control from the beginning.

It's definitely not something that can be easily leaked out just after being bribed. If the research institutes in other areas want to access the core data, they also need to go through layers of checkpoints, so there must be helpers!"

Xu Chuyuan's expression was also somewhat solemn. "Second brother, what I am most worried about is that there are also people from the other side in the core area. That would be terrifying..."

As soon as this worry was expressed, Huo Yunze and Huo Sihan's faces changed.

"Has Huo San really gone crazy leaking the core area's data?"

The research institute in the core area is equivalent to the root of the Huo family.

If the data is really leaked, it will be a fatal blow to the Huo family.

Xu Chuyuan frowned slightly, "Mr. Huo might not be stupid enough to leak the data in the core area! But that doesn't mean the other party won't make a false impression of leaking it! So, Dad, I think we need to take precautions in advance."
