Chapter 346 I also feel sorry for him

"Huh?" Shi Nian was stunned.

He looks a bit dull.

This made Huo Yanmo laugh.

He picked her up and placed her on the table, leaning against her side, and joked, "My dad passed away many years ago, I can't let my mom stay single forever, can I?"

Shi Nian gave Huo Yanmo an annoyed look: "That's not what I meant."

During the day, Xu Qinxin had told her that Huo Yanmo had had boyfriends after her father passed away, and she didn't have any opinion on that.

However, Shi Nian was somewhat surprised by the reason Huo Yanmo gave.

She thought it was for some other reason, such as the workplace being closer, or that she preferred the environment there.

Thinking it over, Shi Nian didn't mince words and said it directly.

Huo Yanmo nodded, indicating that he understood.

"My mom likes you a lot," Huo Yanmo continued, pouring Shi Nian a glass of warm water and handing it to her.

Shi Nian reached out and took the drink, then looked at Huo Yanmo, waiting for him to continue.

Huo Yanmo said gently, "In her early years, she was criticized by many people behind her back because she did not remain a widow for my father."

“Although the three of us children don’t think it’s a big deal, some people still talk nonsense, and even now many people still call her Mrs. Huo.”

"But she doesn't mind."

Huo Yanmo looked intently into Shi Nian's eyes and said softly, "So, she doesn't care at all about those comments online, saying that you divorced Lu Yanzhi and got together with me. She even feels a sense of kinship with you."

As the steam rose from the warm water in the cup, Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo and finally asked the question.

"Yanmo, do you mind?" This was the first time in a long time that she had asked him so directly and definitively; she wanted a definite answer from him.

Huo Yanmo's response was a kiss.

A superficial attempt.

He stated unequivocally, "I don't mind."

"I love you," he said, looking into her eyes, his gaze pure and unadulterated. "I love you at any time."

He was just sometimes jealous of Lu Yanzhi, that was all.

Over the years, he has experienced many things.

He faced countless open and covert struggles and bloody battles, his life hanging by a thread many times.

He was already very skilled at his work; what he wanted more was a genuine relationship.

What he wants is a back to lean on in times of trouble, and a hand that will never let go of him.

Thinking of Xu Qinxin, Huo Yanmo said again:

"Actually, my parents were very loving, it's just... my dad passed away early, so..."

"Niannian, if... I would also hope that you, like my mother, are with the person you love."

Huo Yanmo remained as refined and gentle as ever.

But Shi Nian saw the vulnerability that was hard to detect in his eyes.

Shi Nian reached out and gently stroked his face.

At this moment, she also felt sorry for him.

"It must have been very difficult at sea back then, right?" she asked softly.

Having experienced that kind of danger, he would consider what would happen to her if he were to die before her.

"Hmm," he replied, "but we've made it through."

We've all made it through.

Four words.

It contains so much hardship and suffering.

Shi Nian didn't say anything, but leaned over and gently hugged him.

He hugged her tightly.

So many things were said in that hug.

...

The night was cool and still.

A man wearing a baseball cap kept moving through the darkness.

His figure was disguised, and his walking route was extremely cunning, so no surveillance camera could capture his face.

Li Yanqing had been lingering outside this chaotic area for quite some time, but he dared not go back, fearing he would bring the people who were with him inside as well.

I wonder how Han Wei is doing.

Li Yanqing thought to himself.

He didn't leave many things in the house.

However, this area is a no-man's land, with various urban villages and chaotic management. He also left cash at home, so she should be fine if she's careful.

but……

Li Yanqing took out his phone, thought for a moment, and then called Han Wei.

But as before, no one answered the phone.

He didn't know why Han Wei didn't answer, but given the current tight security, it was normal for her not to.

The border controls are strict lately, so we'll stay a while longer and then figure out a way to leave.

He had already seen the online wanted notice; he could no longer stay in the country.

Fortunately, he had other special ways to smuggle himself out of the country.

It will be under strict control for now, but things will get better in a while.

Li Yanqing then evaded the surveillance cameras to buy some basic necessities.

Online.

Han Wei remains incredibly popular.

Criminal charges have been filed, and even the previous marketing team has apologized to Shi Nian.

There's no way to wash it.

As a result, a large number of people came out to unfollow and criticize.

Especially those die-hard fans and fanatics who trusted her the most are now going crazy.

They revealed a lot of previously unknown information.

One wave of popularity after another.

However, all this information made everyone feel even more sympathetic towards Shi Nian.

"Han Wei really wants to ruin Shi Nian!"

"Yes, thankfully the truth has come out now, otherwise Shi Nian would have been tortured even more."

"By the way, have you seen the latest gossip? Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo's mothers were seen doing a big shopping spree at the mall. I heard the two seem to be getting along quite well. Do you think Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo will get married?"

"I don't know, maybe."

"What about Lu Yanzhi? What will happen to Lu Yanzhi? I saw the live interview before, and he looked like he was about to break."

"Who cares!"

Li Yanqing drank his milk as he read through the comments one by one.

About half an hour later, Han Wei still hadn't replied to his message.

This made Li Yanqing feel a little strange.

He looked in the direction of the house.

He still needs to find a way to go back and see.

...

At that moment, Han Wei's phone was in Lu Yanzhi's hands.

He looked at the messages coming from that unmarked number and understood.

"We need to lie in ambush near the house. He might go back to see Han Wei soon," Lu Yanzhi said, glancing at Zhou Zhiyu.

"Yes!" Zhou Zhiyu nodded, his men keeping a close watch.

He's very nervous now; if they don't catch Li Yanqing, none of them will be safe.

Including himself.

Although Lu Yanzhi recently gave him a raise and a lot of bonuses, he was still very nervous.

Thinking about it, Zhou Zhiyu quickly got to work.

Lu Yanzhi was the only one left in the house.

He looked at the bright moon outside.

They have found the place where Han Wei used to live, and Li Yanqing will definitely go back to find her.

Once Li Yanqing was captured, he told Shi Nian everything.

The moonlight was bright, and on the table to one side was the tanzanite.

However, this tanzanite is currently being carved.

The corresponding tools and design drawings were also placed next to it.

Lu Yanzhi maneuvered the wheelchair over, moving it gently and carefully carving the tanzanite.
