Chapter 130 Let Him Love Her

Shi Nian looked at the cup of tea in Huo Yanmo's hand.

As the tea steam rose, her gaze shifted upwards, looking at him through the steam.

"Why?" Shi Nian asked.

Huo Yanmo wasn't angry that she didn't take the tea; he simply placed the teacup in front of her and then poured himself a cup.

I admire you.

He looked at her intently and said, "I like you too."

Shi Nian was not moved by those words.

Having just escaped a failed marriage, she wouldn't enter into another marriage without thinking simply because she "likes" someone.

“I don’t understand.” Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo and said, “You can find other women, I’m not that unique.”

“No, you are unique,” ​​Huo Yanmo said.

Shi Nian didn't know how to answer.

It just feels so strange.

"Sorry, I don't want to think about that right now," Shi Nian finally said.

She looked at the cup of tea on the table.

And who talks about marriage like that?

He was just holding a cup of tea.

She just got divorced and wants to catch her breath first.

As for whether or not to get married in the future, and with whom, that's a matter for the future.

She also has Sisi.

She can't just think about herself.

Moreover, she still has many things to do, such as the final of "The Voice of Heaven".

For example, take this divorce agreement to a lawyer and try to get back the old members of the Shi family.

Huo Yanmo looked at Shi Nian with an unchanged expression, showing no anger and maintaining a gentle demeanor that was like a spring breeze.

"Since you don't want to get married, how about we consider a collaboration?" Huo Yanmo continued.

Shi Nian raised her eyebrows slightly: "What?"

"Shi Nian, you're divorced, but you're still Lu Yanzhi's ex-wife." Huo Yanmo's voice was calm and persuasive. "In fact, I think he plans to remarry you after Han Wei dies. What will you do then?"

"Perhaps you want to achieve mutual success with Fu Jinyan, and you want to help him rise to the top, but, Shi Nian, that takes time."

“Fu Da and Fu Er are not easy to deal with either.”

"You know how powerful the Lu family is. Fu Jinyan is no match for them now."

"As for yourself, I know you are very talented, but I have to admit that an individual's ability cannot compete with that of a group."

Even if you want to drag it out, how long can you do it?

Huo Yanmo calmly stated all these facts.

He knew, of course, that proposing marriage abruptly would be offensive, but there were too many people around her who liked and coveted her, and he was already far behind, so he had to boldly express his thoughts.

"I'm sorry," Huo Yanmo continued, "I was too hasty in proposing marriage just now."

“But I think you need such a sheltered identity right now.”

"It's not marriage, it could be engagement, or a rumored boyfriend."

Shi Nian had been silent the whole time, just staring at the teacup on the table.

She knew that Huo Yanmo was right.

“Three months,” he said. “We’ll meet at least once a week, twelve times in total, so we can get to know each other. I’m not forcing you to like me, but at least during this time, whether it’s rumors or news of our engagement three months from now, it will save you a lot of trouble.”

"Of course, if you are still unwilling after three months, then just pretend that none of this ever happened."

Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo as he calmly recounted everything.

The room was filled with the aroma of tea, and she gazed at his handsome features.

This is indeed a very tempting suggestion.

"But why?" Shi Nian couldn't understand. "Just because you 'like' it?"

But she didn't even know what he liked about her.

"If I had to add another reason," Huo Yanmo smiled and said, "just think of it as me being unable to bear seeing Lu Yanzhi and the Lu family doing so well."

"Shi Nian, do you know?"

Huo Yanmo paused slightly and said, "I'm very jealous of him."

“It’s not that I’m jealous of his Lu family business or his achievements in his career.”

"It was jealousy, that he had someone with whom he could entrust his heart, someone who was willing to risk everything for him, even his life."

Shi Nian lowered her eyes slightly.

A lover who would risk everything, even their life, for you?

Isn't that stupid?

Look at what she's gained in these seven years.

"Let me think about it," she said. "I can't give you an answer right away."

She is very tired right now.

She was exhausted after seven years.

It's already very difficult to enter into a relationship in the short term.

She even doubted whether she still had the ability to fall in love with someone again.

But can she really enter another marriage without love?

"Excuse me," Shi Nian said, bowing slightly, then stood up, turned, and left.

Huo Yanmo was left sitting there alone.

He looked at the untouched cup of tea in front of her and smiled peacefully.

He understood her thoughts.

If she is no longer capable of loving someone else, then let him love her instead?

...

Shi Nian breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the teahouse and getting back into her car.

At least Young Master Huo isn't here to cause her trouble; she can think about the rest later.

Also, she got a divorce smoothly, so she should be happy.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Yanzhi had already driven back to the Lu family business.

He had already asked Secretary Zhou to cancel all of today's schedules.

Therefore, Secretary Zhou was a little surprised when she saw him.

"Mr. Lu, what brings you here?" Secretary Zhou asked.

Secretary Zhou looked Lu Yanzhi up and down, and said worriedly, "Mr. Lu, you don't look well. Should we call a doctor?"

Lu Yanzhi waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary.

"Let's continue the previous meeting," Lu Yanzhi said.

Secretary Zhou wanted to ask if there had been any problems with the divorce, but seeing Lu Yanzhi's expression, he knew he shouldn't say anything.

"Yes." Secretary Zhou immediately relayed the message.

As a result, Lu Yanzhi held countless meetings that morning.

No one dared to mess with him.

They only discussed it secretly in a corner after the meeting.

"What's wrong with President Lu? Didn't the secretariat say that President Lu had canceled all his schedules for today? He looks so scary!"

"I don't know. Mr. Lu is usually a very meticulous person. Look at him today, he has stubble and doesn't look well."

"Did you have a fight with Han Wei?"

"Who knows? In any case, if Shi Nian were by President Lu's side, he wouldn't have let him do this."

"also……"

"What are you saying?" Secretary Zhou interrupted them halfway through their conversation, "Don't gossip about President Lu!"

The employees immediately apologized and then dispersed.

On the other side, unseen by the employees, Lu Yanzhi gently pursed his lips.

A moment later, he turned and left.

Lu Yanzhi was busy all morning.

He felt very tired after not sleeping all night.

As he leaned back in his office chair and closed his eyes to rest, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and then someone came to his side.

"Brother Yanzhi." A voice called out.

Lu Yanzhi opened his eyes and saw Han Wei smiling at him.

"Let's go get our marriage certificate," Han Wei said.
