Chapter 396 A Decision Like Father's Back Then

Inside the car where Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo were.

Huo Yanmo looked at Shi Nian beside him; her eyes were still slightly moist.

He thought for a moment and then told Shi Nian what he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Niannian," Huo Yanmo called Shi Nian's name.

"Hmm?" Shi Nian turned her head and looked up at him.

Behind Huo Yanmo was the scenery receding rapidly, the dim streetlights being quickly overtaken and left far behind.

She saw him smile and said, "I recently looked into some tutorials with others, specifically on how to train an heir."

Before Huo Yanmo could finish speaking, Shi Nian already had a premonition, as if she knew what he was going to say.

“Although Sisi is still young, I think we can start some simple lessons now.” Huo Yanmo was still smiling, his eyes deep and gentle. “Let’s take it one step at a time, and let her inherit everything from you and me in the future.”

Shi Nian didn't know what to say.

Sisi and Huo Yanmo are not related by blood, nor is she related to her.

Sisi is her daughter.

Shi Nian naturally gave all her things to Si Si, but the Huo family, after all, also included Huo Junhui, Huo Zhiyao, and other members of the Huo family.

"Is this a good idea?" Shi Nian asked.

Huo Yanmo smiled indifferently and said, "As you know, the current Huo family mainly relies on my accumulation over the years at sea, which is mine in itself."

“Sisi is our daughter, it’s perfectly normal to give her our things.”

Huo Yanmo smiled and reached out to tidy up Shi Nian's hair.

"Don't worry, over the years, I've received a share of things from Junhui and Ayao. It's just that the three of us are close, so everyone thinks we haven't received any, but we've long since taken care of our own things and have our own businesses."

"What I gave to Sisi was mine."

Shi Nian still did not immediately agree.

Her nose felt sore, and her eyes were slightly moist.

Her father had told her the same thing: she was his heir, everything he owned belonged to her, and he would raise her well.

It's just a pity...

She looked at Huo Yanmo, her other hand already resting on her abdomen.

A moment later, another large hand covered the back of her hand.

It was Huo Yanmo's hand.

His palms were warm and dry.

"I'm sorry," Shi Nian said softly.

“You haven’t wronged me,” Huo Yanmo said. “I should thank you for giving me the opportunity to be by your side.”

Shi Nian kept her head down and didn't say anything.

Huo Yanmo sighed deeply, reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her lean on his shoulder.

The partition inside the car has been raised, providing a high degree of privacy for the back seats.

However, the two remained silent for a long time.

Although they didn't say it, they understood each other's feelings.

After a long while, Huo Yanmo suddenly spoke.

"Niannian, I'll tell you a secret," Huo Yanmo said, his chest heaving.

"What?" Shi Nian looked up at him.

"I like you both emotionally and physically," Huo Yanmo said.

Shi Nian's face flushed red, and she punched him lightly: "What are you saying!"

"I was afraid you wouldn't know, so I said it on purpose." Huo Yanmo wasn't joking or teasing; he was very serious.

"I'm telling you this because I want to tell you that the reason I bother you at night is because I like it."

It's not that I absolutely need to have a child.

He knew about her physical condition from the beginning; it would be better if she had a child, but it wouldn't be a problem if she didn't.

Everything was his choice.

So she doesn't need to feel guilty.

Shi Nian's face turned even redder.

Luckily, the barrier was raised so the driver couldn't hear her, otherwise she would have wanted to disappear into the ground.

Although Huo Yanmo spoke very seriously and she understood what he meant, she still felt shy.

The car drove into the Huo residence and stopped.

Shi Nian's face flushed, and she quickly opened the car door, got out, glared at Huo Yanmo, and left.

Huo Yanmo smiled helplessly.

He had specifically inquired about Lin Zhihuan's health condition beforehand.

Lin Zhihuan also put it bluntly: if Shi Nian tries to force herself to have a child, she may suffer.

Treatments like injections and medications.

It's even quite possible that after doing all this and enduring all this hardship, it still won't work.

He couldn't bear to see Shi Nian suffer like that, so whether or not he had children was a matter of nature.

He has already decided to take good care of Sisi.

Just as he said to Shi Nian, Si Si is also his daughter.

Even if there is no blood relation, so what?

...

Time passed slowly.

A few more days passed.

That day, Yu Yan suddenly made a new move.

That morning, Xu Cheng updated his personal status.

Xu Cheng: At noon, Yuyan will be doing a live broadcast to announce an important matter. Please stay tuned.

Everyone speculated about what news might be coming, and they discussed it amongst themselves.

However, Shi Nian already knew about it during the game.

Because she was one of Yuyan's shareholders, she was very familiar with the company's affairs, not to mention that she had helped Gu Qian with his matters.

At that moment, she simply stepped out and looked at the people who were working.

Xiaoyu walked over.

"Sister Nian."

Shi Nian nodded and looked at Xiao Yu: "Have you prepared everything I asked you to?"

Xiaoyu immediately replied, "Yes, everything is ready."

“Okay,” Shi Nian said.

...

On the other side, the Lu family.

Lu Xinyi has also returned to work at the company.

She's just been having a bit of a headache lately.

The sale of her overseas assets has not gone smoothly. She has been receiving many phone calls lately, and the sellers are offering very low prices, which is very frustrating for her.

Meanwhile, after she returned to work, her secretary immediately showed her the previous losses.

She had simply tossed the data report aside before, but now that she looked at it, she felt completely overwhelmed.

Because she was initially unwilling to accept the situation, she delayed and caused losses. Later, she continued to suppress copper prices, which resulted in huge losses. If Lu Yanzhi hadn't ordered a timely retreat, the losses might have been even greater.

But she won't admit it.

Because recently, some people in the company have been whispering about her.

Just like the last time she went to the department, she heard people talking about her.

"Right, Miss Xinyi is just too emotional. Last time she made a wrong judgment and lost a lot of money."

"Fortunately, President Lu was clear-headed and stopped everything in time, otherwise..."

"Didn't she handle a lot of company affairs? And she graduated from a prestigious overseas university, how could she be like this?"

"I don't know, I think..."

...

All of this made Lu Xinyi feel irritable.

So she vented her frustration and anger on Shi Nian.

Recently, she has been sending people to put pressure on Yu Yan.

She knew she couldn't make it public.

Therefore, she could only operate in private.

She used her own connections to do it.

Some people are already trying to switch jobs and come here, and some are even secretly sending her messages. The regulatory authorities are also making things difficult for Yuyan.

She didn't believe Yu Yan would be alright if things continued like this.

A company, after all the ups and downs, slowly disappears.

The names Lu Family, Lu Xinyi, and Miss Lu are still quite useful.

And just then, noon arrived.

Yu Yan started a live stream again, and Xu Cheng and Gu Qian appeared in the live stream room together.

They all had smiles on their faces.

"I'm happy to tell you all," Xu Cheng said with a smile, "Our research has made progress; to put it simply, we've achieved a technological breakthrough."
