Tianxin and Ziyang enjoy a lovely day, swimming and watching a movie, before returning to the farm. As Ziyang carries a tired Tianxin, they are unexpectedly confronted by Ziqian and Ping, who are shocked to see them acting so intimately.

She absolutely cannot leave Brother Ziyang now. If she departs, Brother Ziqian will undoubtedly confront him!

"Be good, you and sister-in-law should leave first."

"I don’t want to!" Tianxin held onto his hand tightly, refusing to go.

"Miss, please come with me to get something to eat. We haven’t had anything to eat since we rushed over," Ping said with a smile as she approached them.

Observing the closeness between Miss and Ziyang, their relationship was undeniable, leaving no room for doubt...

How could this possibly be? How could Ziyang be with Miss...

How would they possibly explain this to the Master and Madam? They would surely be furious.

"I’m not going!" Tianxin shook her head, convinced that Sister Ping intended to escort her away.

She refused to leave if it meant not being able to see Brother Ziyang.

"Miss, let us depart first and allow the brothers to have a private conversation," Ping stated with evident difficulty, abandoning any further attempts to devise excuses to persuade Tianxin.

"You and sister-in-law go on ahead, I will join you shortly," Ziyang said gently to her, clearly comprehending her apprehension.

"But..." Tianxin gazed at Ziqian, her heart filled with anxiety that Brother Ziqian might harm Brother Ziyang.

"I merely need to have a word with my elder brother. I’ll find you soon, don’t you trust me?"

"Then hurry back! If it takes longer than three minutes, I’m coming to find you myself!" Tianxin looked back at Ziyang with utmost seriousness and declared.

She understood the unspoken words Brother Ziqian wished to convey, yet she refused to let Brother Ziyang face such a situation alone.

Since they were now together, they must face whatever came their way as a united front!

"Alright." Ziyang nodded, a smile gracing his lips.

"Brother Ziyang, please be careful!" Tianxin whispered, a worry evident as she bit her lower lip.

"It’s alright, don’t fret."

"Miss, let’s go," Ping said, taking Tianxin’s hand and gently pulling her away.

"Brother Ziyang..." Tianxin followed Ping, her eyes brimming with unshed tears and profound sadness.

"Take sister-in-law to get something to eat."

"Mm." Tianxin nodded in agreement.

Ping led Tianxin away, leaving Ziyang and Ziqian alone in the parking lot.

Ziqian’s expression was grim as he advanced towards Ziyang, step by deliberate step.

"What exactly is happening between you and Miss?" Ziqian inquired, his voice laced with coldness.

"It is precisely as you perceive it, Tianxin and I are together!" Ziyang responded, meeting his elder brother’s gaze.

"Huo Ziyang!" Ziqian bellowed in fury, admonishing him sternly, "Do you even grasp the gravity of your actions? How could you possibly be with Miss!"

He was so incensed that his fists clenched, veins pulsing ominously on his forehead.

Miss was still so young! How could Ziyang possibly be involved with her!

They simply could not be together!

Their respective statuses strictly forbade such a union!

"I am fully aware of my actions," Ziyang stated in a low, steady voice.

"Before the Master and Madam discover this, you must immediately end your relationship with Miss. Your sister-in-law will arrange for a suitable woman, and you will marry her without delay!" Ziqian commanded, leaving no room for argument!

He could not permit his younger brother to bring harm upon Miss. Miss, being so young and naive, could not possibly comprehend the consequences of being with Ziyang.

Furthermore, the stringent laws of the Huo Clan would invariably lead to Ziyang’s demise!

He absolutely refused to subject his brother to such a perilous risk!

Their role was to serve as Guardians to the Huo Family’s heir, not to engage in a romantic relationship with the Huo Family’s heir.

The reason being: they were not deemed worthy... They were merely Guardians, unqualified to be with the heir!

Although the Huo Clan had long since abolished those abhorrent ancient regulations, certain rules persisted.

These rules were specifically designed to prevent Guardians from forming relationships with heirs. Such an event had occurred only once a century ago and had never been repeated since.

No one had anticipated that such a situation would arise in their generation, involving Tianxin and Ziyang.

It wasn’t that they were absolutely forbidden from being together, but rather that if they insisted on pursuing this path, they would face severe repercussions.

These punishments, while not fatal, would leave one in a state of near death!
