Chapter 405 He was alone

If we were to list them here...

Shi Nian seemed to be the subordinate who had nothing.

But in reality, she is the center.

It was not, as Lu Xinyi understood it, about using beauty as the center of exchange.

Rather, it's about personal ability, personal charm, and a captivating presence that wins people's hearts.

Even though the Shi family no longer exists, and even though Shi Nian is not a daughter of a prominent family.

But Shi Nian is Shi Nian herself; she herself is a member of a prestigious family.

The meal was finished quickly. While cleaning up, Huo Yanmo naturally wiped Sisi's hands and casually picked up Shi Nian's bag to carry it.

Sisi also got down from the baby seat.

Holding Huo Yanmo's hand in one hand and Shi Nian's hand in the other, the family of three said goodbye to the others and left.

Xu Cheng and Gu Qian also walked out together.

Sun Jiaming and Fu Jinyan fell behind.

Sun Jiaming looked at the backs of the family of three and felt somewhat dazed.

It's really different.

Contrary to the rumors circulating outside that Shi Nian was clinging to Huo Yanmo and trying to live a good life by associating with him, this is completely different from what is said outside.

You can tell they are very happy.

"What are you daydreaming about?" Fu Jinyan came out and looked at Sun Jiaming.

Sun Jiaming glanced at Fu Jinyan on the side.

This sight sent chills down Fu Jinyan's spine.

"Could there be some misunderstanding?" Fu Jinyan said, feeling completely numb.

Sun Jiaming shook her head, got into the car, and said, "You always said Shi Nian was a big shot."

Fu Jinyan leaned in, nodded, and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"

"Today I finally saw someone act as a lackey," Sun Jiaming said with a smile.

"Woof woof!" Fu Jinyan barked twice.

This made Sun Jiaming laugh heartily.

They both knew what the other meant.

The car started and drove them away.

...

On the other side, Shi Nian held Si Si's hand, and the three of them took a walk together by the lake.

There was a grassy area in front of us, where many people were walking their dogs and gathered together.

The puppies are all very obedient.

Shi Nian looked down at Si Si, and Si Si looked up at Shi Nian.

"Hehe." Sisi happily ran towards the puppy.

Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo followed behind, and after communicating with the dog owner, they sat on a bench and watched Sisi play with the puppy.

A gentle evening breeze blew by, ruffling her hair.

Huo Yanmo reached out and helped her fix her hair.

“It seems that Sun Jiaming has some misunderstanding with you,” Huo Yanmo said.

"Hmm." Shi Nian recounted how someone had been spreading rumors to Sun Jiaming, attempting to sow discord between her and Fu Jinyan.

"It's Lu Xinyi," she finally said.

Lu Xinyi was desperate and resorting to all sorts of lousy tricks.

Shi Nian leaned back in her chair, looking at the bright moon hanging in the sky.

She had reminded Lu Xinyi countless times that she needed to calm down and learn to manage her emotions.

She could understand Lu Xinyi's feelings.

It might have started simply because of Lin Xuan.

In the end, it was just a feeling of resentment.

Unwilling to lose to Shi Nian, unwilling to lower the proud head of the dignified Miss Lu.

But... Lu Xinyi was overthinking it.

She never intended to compete with Lu Xinyi, but Lu Xinyi demanded that she bow her head.

But on what grounds?

She's not someone anyone can easily bully.

Lu Xinyi was unhappy, so she asked Shi Nian to smile in a way that made her happy.

Not to mention that Lu Xinyi always brings up her father and the Shi family.

The wind was still blowing, scattering fallen leaves from the nearby trees.

Huo Yanmo reached out and picked the fallen leaves off Shi Nian's head.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a few more leaves and fiddled with them in his hands. Then, a small flower made of fallen leaves appeared in his hand.

He took off the brooch, secured the fallen leaf and flower, and placed it in Shi Nian's hand.

Shi Nian looked at the little flower and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Since she was out with the baby anyway, she reached out and picked up some fallen leaves, asking Huo Yanmo to teach her how to handle them.

This was outdoors, and there were quite a few people around. The video of the two of them playing with leaves was quickly filmed and uploaded to the internet, although Sisi's face was not shown.

"Haha, they look no different from ordinary people like us."

"Yes, the couple were playing with leaves while taking their child for a walk."

"By the way, I'd also like to learn how to roll leaves into flowers. It would look really nice to roll bouquets with yellow ginkgo leaves! I've seen some finished products online before."

...

The group discussed it.

Later, inexplicably, it turned into a flower-rolling contest.

Classic quote: "Gifts don't have to be expensive. Even big CEOs give their wives paper rolls. You can tell whether they put their heart into it or not."

By the time Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo finished taking the kids out and returned home, the internet was already flooded with posts showing off their floral paper flower creations.

After seeing this, Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo also posted pictures of the rolled-up bouquets they had made online.

They are beautiful and happy to let others see their happiness.

However, while Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo were happy, others might not be.

Lu Yanzhi stared silently at the picture, his eyes completely black.

Zhou Zhiyu stood to one side, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Previously, they thought Li Yanqing would go there in person, but something happened and all of Li Yanqing's actions came to a halt.

There was no probing.

Sometimes Zhou Zhiyu wondered if Li Yanqing had discovered their trap and allowed him to escape.

Fortunately, Li Yanqing sent a message to Han Wei's phone.

He's come to City A and wants me to see him. Things have calmed down recently; once I've sorted things out there, we'll leave together.

Lu Yanzhi looked at his phone.

He has been studying this message for a long time.

This includes connecting all the information on this phone.

But who is this "he"?

"Has Han Wei been willing to speak up?" Lu Yanzhi asked.

Zhou Zhiyu sighed deeply and shook his head, saying, "Han Wei refuses to talk. She wants us to let her go, saying that we've kept her locked up for so long and she's on the verge of a breakdown."

"Hmph!" Lu Yanzhi snorted coldly.

When she did those things, hiring thugs multiple times, didn't she think about breaking down?

“Tell her that whether she can leave depends on her and Li Yanqing, not on me,” Lu Yanzhi said coldly.

"Yes," Zhou Zhiyu replied, and immediately went to do it.

But they all knew that even if they got out, their next step would be prison.

But now, Han Wei would rather go to prison than be detained here for "treatment".

Zhou Zhiyu left.

Only Lu Yanzhi remained.

He looked at the flowers made of leaves that Shi Nian had released on the interface, his lips slightly pursed.

On the instrument table to one side, the tanzanite had already been polished into shape.

Let's wait for him.

He will let her know the whole truth.

She will forgive him.

The night is deep, but the city is still brightly lit, with countless cars and people on the road, many of whom are heading home to return to the embrace of their loved ones.

But he was still all alone.
