Chapter 256 Huo: We will get married, we will become husband and wife.

Lu Yanzhi was covered in cold sweat, his teeth almost grinding to powder, glaring hatefully at Huo Yanmo, who remained calm in front of him.

Seeing that Lu Yanzhi still didn't answer, Huo Yanmo released the chair in his hands and pressed down hard on the spot where Lu Yanzhi had just hit him.

This made Lu Yanzhi's face even more distorted.

Seeing Lu Yanzhi's appearance, Huo Yanmo felt no satisfaction at all.

His mind kept replaying Shi Nian's miserable appearance that day.

Although Shi Nian kept telling him that everything was fine, he knew that something was wrong.

She never wanted others to worry too much, always saying she was fine and there was no major problem, but he knew she wasn't.

That's not good.

The two men stared at each other, one with a cold expression, the other contorted in pain.

Huo Yanmo did not loosen his grip on Lu Yanzhi's leg, pressing on his wound, wanting to relieve Lu Yanzhi's pain.

It started raining outside the window sometime earlier, and the sky darkened, causing the lights in the ward to dim as well, leaving only the cold white lamplight quietly illuminating everything.

Finally, Huo Yanmo released Lu Yanzhi's leg.

Lu Yanzhi lay limp on the hospital bed, panting heavily, as if he had just been pulled out of the water.

Huo Yanmo took two steps forward and came to Lu Yanzhi's head.

"Now you know what it's like to feel bad?"

His voice remained calm, but carried a chilling calmness, completely different from his usual gentle and refined demeanor.

"You feel pain now?"

He spoke calmly, looking at Lu Yanzhi.

When you hurt her, did you ever think about her feelings?

"When she begged you to let her go, when she screamed in agony, Lu Yanzhi, did you ever think about how much pain she was in?"

Lu Yanzhi was still gritting his teeth, his fists clenched, trying to resist the intense pain and a sense of disharmony coming from his shinbone.

He didn't look at Huo Yanmo.

What keeps appearing before my eyes is Shi Nian's pitiful appearance.

He closed his eyes in pain.

He didn't know what to say, and couldn't utter a single word.

"You know perfectly well that she had seen a psychiatrist before, and that her illness is not mild, yet you still tried to force yourself on her!"

Huo Yanmo's voice made Lu Yanzhi's heart tremble violently.

"That day at the apartment, she was so agitated by you that she didn't recognize anyone. Later, when we got back, she stayed in the bathroom and washed herself until her skin was raw!"

"You kept saying you loved her, that you had your reasons, and then you hurt her like this?"

Every question Huo Yanmo uttered was like a heavy hammer blow to Lu Yanzhi's heart, causing him unbearable pain.

What did he do next?

He knew perfectly well...

The air was thick with the smell of disinfectant, and the two remained silent for a long time.

Finally, Lu Yanzhi asked, "How...is she now?"

"Heh..." Huo Yanmo responded to Lu Yanzhi with a cold laugh.

It's brimming with sarcasm.

The whole meaning was conveyed in that cold laugh.

How dare Lu Yanzhi ask Shi Nian how she is doing!

Lu Yanzhi's face was burning hot.

It felt like I'd been slapped hard across the face.

His face had never hurt this much when he was being hit.

"That wasn't my intention," Lu Yanzhi said after a long silence.

"Are you trying to excuse yourself again?" It was a statement, Huo Yanmo's voice was cold, "You have your reasons, it wasn't your intention, you regret it, and then you continue to hurt her?"

Lu Yanzhi clenched his teeth, opened his eyes, and met Huo Yanmo's gaze with a cold and sharp look.

But Huo Yanmo only sneered.

"What excuse did you come up with this time?" Huo Yanmo asked coldly. "Did you lose your mind after seeing her move into the Huo residence?"

"You think she lives with me and that we've had sex, so you want to force yourself on her?"

Lu Yanzhi's eyes were filled with gloom. At this moment, he was like a hawk, staring fiercely at Huo Yanmo in front of him.

Huo Yanmo's face remained calm, a calmness that was almost frightening.

The two stared at each other in silence, neither saying a word.

The cold, white light shone on the two of them, giving them a chill that seemed out of place in the height of summer.

After an unknown amount of time, it was finally Huo Yanmo who spoke first.

“I never had a relationship with her,” he said. “I’m not afraid to tell you, we’ve never even slept in the same bed. At the Huo residence, we slept in separate rooms.”

"What?" It seemed to take Lu Yanzhi a while to understand what Huo Yanmo was saying.

Huo Yanmo sneered and said, "So, do you know how ridiculous and outrageous what you did to her is?"

"Forcing her to do something she never did!"

Lu Yanzhi was momentarily bewildered.

Immediately, a surge of guilt nearly overwhelmed him.

He thought...

"But Lu Yanzhi," Huo Yanmo's voice remained icy, "Even if I had a relationship with her, so what?"

"You're already divorced, so what is your status now?"

"What right do you have to treat her like this?"

"You've raped me!"

"You don't care whether she lives or dies, Lu Yanzhi. If I hadn't arrived in time yesterday, I suspect she might have died on that bed!"

Only now did Huo Yanmo's calm voice betray the hatred that was about to surface.

He leaned down and got closer to Lu Yanzhi.

"Aren't you afraid she'll have a relationship with me?" Huo Yanmo's voice was very soft, but it sounded like it came from hell. "I will. In the future, I will marry Niannian. We will lie in the same bed, hug, kiss, make love, have children. We will do everything that couples do!"

"And you..."

Huo Yanmo straightened up and looked at Lu Yanzhi coldly.

"Let's live our lives tied to Han Wei!"

Lu Yanzhi tried to get up and say something, but Huo Yanmo had already turned and left.

But as he passed by his calf, he kicked him again, this time in the wound.

"ah!"

The sudden pain left Lu Yanzhi speechless, while Huo Yanmo had already left the ward.

Fu Jinyan had been waiting outside the door. When he saw Huo Yanmo come out, he nodded to him.

Fu Jinyan heard Lu Yanzhi's screams inside, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He himself wished he could stab Lu Yanzhi to death!

“Lu Yanzhi is simply unworthy of being a human being!” Fu Jinyan said.

Huo Yanmo nodded, and the two came out together.

As he got into the car, Huo Yanmo looked at Fu Jinyan.

“I think we shouldn’t let him live too comfortably.” Huo Yanmo gave Fu Jinyan a meaningful look.

Fu Jinyan rubbed his hands excitedly, then nodded knowingly.

"Just let me know if you need anything from me," Fu Jinyan said.

Huo Yanmo nodded.

As the car drove off, Huo Yanmo looked out the window at the gloomy, rainy day, his face cold.

He definitely needs to plan carefully.

He needed to plan carefully, whether it was a matter concerning the Shi family or the Lu family.

After years of forbearance, it seems the time has come for them to explode.
