Chapter 125 Lu Yanzhi asked: Will you blame me?

Shi Nian's face kept appearing in Lu Yanzhi's eyes.

He saw again the gauze on her head from that day at the hospital.

"Thank goodness, thank goodness it's just a scratch..." he murmured softly.

Everything hasn't reached the point of no return yet, as long as he explains things to her later...

She should forgive him.

Lin Zhihuan was furious.

"What do you mean it's just a scratch! Have you forgotten how you pushed her?" Lin Zhihuan was so angry that she rushed forward and was about to kick Lu Yanzhi.

"Do you know her...?"

"Zhihuan!" Lin Yuchen pulled Lin Zhihuan back.

"Brother! You're actually going to speak up for him too?!" Lin Zhihuan was furious.

She saw clearly what Shi Nian looked like covered in blood back then!

"How have you been spending these past few days, Nian Nian..." Lin Zhihuan's eyes were bloodshot, and her voice was tinged with sobs.

But Lin Yuchen shook his head, stopping her from saying anything more.

Lu Yanzhi, on the other hand, couldn't hear what they were saying at all because he saw Shi Nian walking out of another office.

"A manhunt has been underway recently, but you should still be careful."

"Yes, I will, I..."

Shi Nian was still talking to Li Xinyi.

But the next moment, Lu Yanzhi appeared beside them.

“We need to talk.” Lu Yanzhi’s eyes were bloodshot as he gripped Shi Nian’s wrist tightly.

Seeing this, Li Xinyi looked at Lu Yanzhi and then at Shi Nian.

If Shi Nian is unwilling, she will stop her.

"About what happened at 9 o'clock tomorrow," Lu Yanzhi continued, worried that Shi Nian would refuse.

Shi Nian had just learned about the situation from Lin Zhihuan and Li Xinyi.

She originally thought there was nothing left to talk about between her and Lu Yanzhi, but he mentioned 9 a.m. the next morning.

That was the time they had agreed to go get their divorce certificate.

Shi Nian clenched his right hand tightly, but finally nodded.

“Okay,” she said.

Given the current situation, if she doesn't make things clear with him, she's worried she won't be able to get the divorce certificate tomorrow.

“The car is parked outside, let’s talk over there,” Lu Yanzhi said.

Shi Nian nodded.

This is the police station; she has nothing to be afraid of.

Shi Nian nodded and smiled at Li Xinyi before leaving with Lu Yanzhi.

Lin Zhihuan, standing behind, looked anxious.

"Brother, won't Niannian suffer a loss?" Lin Zhihuan asked her brother.

Lin Yuchen waved his hand and said, "This is a police station. Lu Yanzhi won't do anything reckless."

Too.

Lin Zhihuan relaxed slightly, then glared at Lin Yuchen again: "Why won't you let me continue? Is Lu Yanzhi even speaking human language? I really wish I could kill him!"

Lin Yuchen looked helplessly at his sister: "If you keep talking, you'll bring up Shi Nian's miscarriage. Shi Nian wants to divorce Lu Yanzhi now. If Lu Yanzhi finds out about this, will the divorce be finalized tomorrow?"

Lin Zhihuan, however, did not think so.

"I think he loves Han Wei to the core. He helps Han Wei in everything. Why would he care about this?"

Lin Yuchen shook his head: "I don't think so."

Lin Zhihuan looked at Lin Yuchen strangely.

Lin Yuchen didn't offer much explanation.

"In short, let's not cause any unnecessary trouble," Lin Yuchen said.

Lin Zhihuan nodded, "That's fine too."

After speaking, Lin Zhihuan looked up again at the two people slowly walking out.

"I just feel sorry for Niannian."

Lin Zhihuan murmured softly, "Seven years."

Lin Yuchen nodded. Yes, how many seven-year periods does one have in a lifetime?

...

On the other side.

Shi Nian followed Lu Yanzhi outside.

The car was parked in front of the police station.

Here, lush trees provide shade, and scattered moonlight filters through the gaps in the branches, creating a slightly chilly atmosphere.

The night wind blew gently, stirring up the strands of hair that Shi Nian hadn't styled properly when she hurriedly left the house.

Lu Yanzhi looked at Shi Nian beside him and remembered how thin and cold she looked that night at Mingyue Manor.

He reached out to fix her hair, but she took a step back and looked at him warily.

“Your hair is messy,” Lu Yanzhi said, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with endless darkness.

When did she become so wary of him?

"I can do it myself," Shi Nian said, fixing her hair herself.

The two walked along until they reached the car.

Lu Yanzhi opened the car door and let her get in first.

The two settled down in the back seat.

Then came a long silence.

Outside the car window were dim streetlights, and all around were quiet woods.

No one spoke.

And so, time passed by, minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, Lu Yanzhi finally spoke first.

“I understand,” he said, looking into the woods ahead. “About your car accident.”

Shi Nian nodded and hummed in agreement.

“I didn’t mean to do it that day in the stairwell,” Lu Yanzhi said, even though he knew explaining would be useless, he still wanted to tell her.

“It was chaotic that day. I wanted to restrain Lin Zhihuan and stop her from doing anything, and to separate her from Han Wei, but they kept moving.”

"They were in a frenzy, so I had to hit them harder for it to work, and then..."

"I don't know what happened, but in the end, I pushed you down."

"I wanted to reach out and pull you up, but everything happened too fast, and you had already fallen."

Lu Yanzhi didn't look at Shi Nian; he kept staring at a certain point in the woods ahead.

He didn't know what Shi Nian would think after hearing all this.

However, he felt it necessary to explain.

And think of it often.

After he finished speaking, Shi Nian simply hummed in response.

Then, silence fell again.

However, where Lu Yanzhi couldn't see, Shi Nian's fists were clenched tightly, trembling slightly with force, her nails digging into her palms, causing her great pain.

She tried her best to maintain a calm demeanor.

Try not to think about the lost child, or those painful days and nights.

She kept telling herself that everything was over, she would get better, everything would be alright, she still had Sisi, and she and Sisi would be happy.

As long as she perseveres, successfully obtains the divorce certificate, wins the championship of "The Voice of Heaven," and negotiates with the contract she deliberately set up for Lu Yanzhi, she can win back the old members of the Shi family.

Everything will be alright.

Even though she had lost two children, she still had Sisi.

After a few more minutes of silence, Lu Yanzhi spoke again.

"How is your injury...?" This time, Lu Yanzhi finally looked at her.

Looking at Shi Nian's body, which still hadn't regained its weight.

From this angle, he could see her thin, protruding collarbones, her collarbone hollows deeply sunken, and her arms, which were very slender and seemed fragile, as if they would break at any moment.

"It's all better now," Shi Nian replied.

Lu Yanzhi nodded: "That's good."

“I’m sorry I didn’t visit you when you were in the hospital,” he continued.

Shi Nian did not answer this time.

"Will you... blame me?" Lu Yanzhi asked, his eyes slightly lowered as he looked at her beside him.
