Chapter 366 Designing a Wedding Dress for Shi Nian

Shi Nian glanced at it once and then left.

She went straight back to the car and waited for a while before Xiaoyu returned.

"Sister Nian..." Xiaoyu was anxious to say something.

Shi Nian waved his hand first and said, "Let's go back first."

Xiaoyu nodded.

The car started, and soon they left the area and headed towards the road.

Only after they set off did Shi Nian ask, "How did it go?"

Xiaoyu immediately spoke up: "Sister Nian, just like you thought, what happened afterward was very strange, I..."

The car headed towards Yishi, and Xiaoyu reported back along the way.

Shi Nian nodded repeatedly.

After Xiaoyu finished speaking, they arrived at Yishi's building.

I returned to the office.

Shi Nian recalled the timing of Yuyan Technology's emergence as a dark horse.

I had some guesses in my mind.

Just as I was thinking, suddenly...

"Knock knock".

A knock came at the door.

Shi Nian looked up and saw Huo Yanmo standing at the door.

He was still carrying a lunchbox in his hand.

Shi Nian smiled.

Huo Yanmo walked in and put the lunchbox aside.

"Why are you here?" Shi Nian asked. She remembered that she had sent him a message saying that she would be going to Yu Yan's place.

“I happen to know someone who went over there and said they saw you go in first. I’ve calculated the time, and you should be back around now,” Huo Yanmo said.

Huo Yanmo opened the lunchbox and arranged the food items one by one.

Shi Nian walked over and sat down opposite Huo Yanmo.

"What are your thoughts?" Huo Yanmo asked.

"I think there's something fishy about the Yuyan project," Shi Nian said directly, without hiding anything.

"And then?" Huo Yanmo asked Shi Nian to continue.

“But they are strange,” Shi Nian said, taking a sip of soup. “Whether it’s what they’re showing or what we saw at Yuyan Company, they definitely have real stuff, which is very contradictory.”

Generally speaking, having real skills means having real strength, so I don't know why they're trying to hide it.

"So what's your choice?" Huo Yanmo asked gently. "Will you choose to avoid the risks and choose other projects, or take the plunge and try something new?"

Shi Nian shook her head.

“I’m not a gambler,” Shi Nian said, meeting Huo Yanmo’s gaze, “but I don’t want to give up this opportunity.”

"Therefore, I need to investigate."

If the risks are indeed too great in the end, she will abandon the project.

It's unwise to knowingly jump into a trap.

Huo Yanmo looked at Shi Nian, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Huo Yanmo couldn't possibly ignore Shi Nianxin's new company's first project.

After thinking it over, he finally said, "Niannian, just tell me what you need."

Shi Nian gave Huo Yanmo a strange look.

Huo Yanmo smiled, reached out and took a tissue to wipe the stuff off Shi Nian's face.

"Give me a chance to help you, okay?" Huo Yanmo said.

Shi Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He wanted to help her, yet he spoke so cautiously, as if he were begging her.

Looking at Huo Yanmo's handsome face, she suddenly had a wicked idea.

Putting down her cutlery, Shi Nian reached out with both hands towards Huo Yanmo's cheek.

Huo Yanmo grabbed her wrist and looked at her strangely.

Shi Nian glared at him.

“Okay, okay,” Huo Yanmo said.

Then, with one hand on each side, they pinched Huo Yanmo's cheeks.

She pulled his face outwards, making it look strange.

Huo Yanmo's eyes were filled with helplessness.

But then I felt sorry for him.

She's only 25 years old, it's normal for her to like having fun, but she's been through so much.

He really wanted to help her get rid of all her difficulties at once.

But he knew she wouldn't agree.

Shi Nian kneaded him for a while, and even asked him to take a picture with her phone.

Huo Yanmo naturally cooperated.

That's pretty good too.

Looking at the photo, Shi Nian had already run behind him, reaching out to pinch his cheek and make a funny face. Her eyes were smiling as she looked at the camera, and Huo Yanmo felt very happy.

After playing with it, Shi Nian took back her phone and was happy just looking at it.

"I'm going to keep this photo safe," Shi Nian said, putting away her phone. "When we're old, I'll take it out and show it to Sisi."

Huo Yanmo nodded with a smile.

Shi Nian put away her phone and looked at Huo Yanmo seriously.

"I can still handle everything right now," Shi Nian said earnestly.

She knew that some people might think she was being distant by saying this, but she believed that Huo Yanmo understood her.

The game of Yi Shi (弈时) belongs to the Shi family and is the cornerstone of the Shi family's rise and fall.

She hoped that Yishi could grow bigger and stronger under her leadership.

She loves Huo Yanmo, and she knows that Huo Yanmo is willing to give her everything.

But she prefers to have everything under her own control.

She didn't want to relive her failed marriage with Lu Yanzhi and the blackmail she suffered in the past.

It's not that we don't trust them, but rather that we cherish them, which is why we put in so much effort.

Huo Yanmo looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness, and said, "Okay, I understand."

Shi Nian smiled too.

She was very fortunate to have met Huo Yanmo.

He understands her, comprehends her, and respects her.

Otherwise, given what Lu Yanzhi has done, the lingering past, and the endless troubles, many people would choose to leave her.

The two were happily eating together when Shi Nian brought up the incident of seeing Qin Zhihuan and Li Tongruo earlier that day, making small talk about it.

On the other side, the Lu family.

Lu Yanzhi was sitting in a wheelchair, listening to Zhou Zhiyu's report.

“Li Yanqing’s probing actions have increased significantly these past few days,” Zhou Zhiyu said. “We’ve had people with similar builds to Han Wei come and go; I don’t know if we can fool him.”

"President Lu, it's been so long, has Li Yanqing become suspicious?" Zhou Zhiyu asked hesitantly.

Lu Yanzhi took out Han Wei's phone and looked at the various text messages from Li Yanqing.

He hasn't replied these days.

Perhaps there's some unspoken message between Li Yanqing and Han Wei, so it's better for him not to reply at all.

Since he neither replied to Li Yanqing nor stopped sending text messages, it means that at least for now, there is no problem.

"Should we do it again next time...?"

"Patience," Lu Yanzhi said to Zhou Zhiyu, and also to himself.

Although Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo have already announced their marriage.

Although there was a connection between him and Shi Nian... he understood that he only had one chance to capture Li Yanqing.

If it doesn't work, we may face an endless stalemate.

He needs to catch Li Yanqing during this period.

As long as Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo are not officially married, he still has a chance.

Lu Yanzhi said this to himself.

Over and over again, it was like hypnosis.

Zhou Zhiyu, standing to the side, looked at Lu Yanzhi's profile and nodded.

Zhou Zhiyu also knew that there was no better way.

"Oh, right, this." Zhou Zhiyu remembered something, then picked up a tablet and handed it to Lu Yanzhi.

"My men have already inquired and found out that Huo Yanmo has hired Mrs. Mesa, one of the world's top wedding dress designers, to design a wedding dress for... Miss Shi."
