Chapter 437 She is the only heir

She remembered that she was sitting on the sofa in the study that day.

His desk was simply furnished with his usual writing implements, computer, and various work supplies.

There is also a photo.

A photo of them and Sisi.

In the photo, they are holding hands, and Sisi is standing in the middle of them smiling.

A family photo.

Looking at the photo, she asked, "What's going on?"

Huo Yanmo took out another document and handed it to her.

This is a will.

Shi Nian glanced at him only once before looking up at him in confusion.

"Take a look first," he said with a smile.

She looked through them, and when she saw what was inside, her eyes reddened slightly.

The will was very simple: if he died, all his estate would go to her, as his sole heir.

She choked up a little at that moment.

Although the spouse can inherit the estate after the death of either spouse, many disputes can still arise.

For example, who will share this inheritance with? How much will each person receive? Are there any clauses protecting the group's interests?

For example, when she married Lu Yanzhi, she accepted a prenuptial agreement to protect the interests of the group, so even if she divorced Lu Yanzhi, there would be no change in the shares.

"What about Aunt Xu, Junhui, and Ayao?" Shi Nian asked.

“Niannian, I’ve told you, I’ve always made arrangements for them. Mine are all yours,” he said. “Since you’re not willing to accept them now, then wait until later.”

She asked him then, "What if they break up?"

He just smiled and said, "Here you go too."

Everything he has belongs to her.

He once said that even if he wasn't by her side, he still hoped she would be doing well.

This was his promise.

Pulling herself out of her memories, Shi Nian's eyes reddened slightly. She lowered her eyes so that Secretary Xu wouldn't see.

“Okay, I want to see him,” Shi Nian said softly.

Secretary Xu had already opened the door for her.

Shi Nian walked step by step into this office that she had visited many times before.

Huo Yanmo looked up after hearing the noise.

"Niannian." He stood up and smiled. "Is everything taken care of?"

Shi Nian nodded, hummed in agreement, and then came to his side.

His office desk was just as simple as the one in his study.

Similarly, there is a group photo of them, which is placed on the table and can be seen as soon as you look up.

Secretary Xu had already closed the office door, and Shi Nian felt a lump in her throat.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yanmo noticed that Shi Nian's mood was off and asked worriedly.

Shi Nian didn't speak. She shook her head and then buried her face in his chest.

Huo Yanmo gently patted her back and hugged her.

Seeing the ashes from burned paper money still in her hair, he knew she had just gone to the cemetery again.

He held her tightly in his arms with affection.

The photo on the table was still there, and Huo Yanmo remembered that Shi Nian had also looked at that photo earlier.

He recalled the scene when he handed her the will in the study.

He knew what she was thinking.

Her marriage to Lu Yanzhi almost cost her her life.

After divorcing Lu Yanzhi, she left with almost nothing, only taking back her own belongings. The Shi family's things were still being held by the Lu family and were only recently retrieved.

He knew that her failed marriage had made her afraid to hope, afraid to think too much, but...

Huo Yanmo gently removed the ashes from Shi Nian's hair.

He waited for her for so many years.

People say he's 29 and still unmarried, and some even suspect he might have some hidden illness.

But only he himself knew the truth.

She was his only choice.

He first met her when he was young, and later, after escaping death, he saw her again and realized he was deeply in love. He had waited so long, and finally, his chance had come.

If Lu Yanzhi treats her well, if Lu Yanzhi loves her deeply, he will watch silently.

But perhaps it was fate that they separated, which gave him the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

Huo Yanmo recalled the day Shi Nian and Lu Yanzhi obtained their divorce certificate.

He waited outside the Civil Affairs Bureau for a very long time that day.

He watched as she and Lu Yanzhi walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau together.

He counted down the seconds.

An unprecedented tension.

Even though he faced many dangerous situations at sea, he wasn't that nervous.

He had considered many possibilities: Lu Yanzhi might change his mind, or an accident might occur that would prevent them from separating.

Fortunately, he saw them come out with their divorce certificates and say their final goodbyes.

Then, he impulsively rushed forward.

Regardless of whether she felt offended, he proposed marriage.

Because he has waited for so many years, he can't wait any longer.

He was afraid that if he was too late, someone else would beat him to it.

He wanted to be first, regardless of anything else.

Time passed slowly, and after a while, Shi Nian finally managed to control her emotions.

She looked up at Huo Yanmo.

"Is it true?" Shi Nian asked softly.

"It's true." He gently kissed her lips. "Niannian, I'm here."

He gripped her hand tightly, giving her strength.

Shi Nian smiled, but her eyes were still red.

"Shall we go check on Big Orange?" Huo Yanmo said. "It's suddenly become quite intelligent lately, realizing that it's the king of cats in the neighborhood. Now it's causing all sorts of trouble, running rampant wherever it goes."

Shi Nian burst out laughing, which dispelled much of the unreal sadness she had felt earlier.

“Okay,” she said.

Huo Yanmo immediately put down his work, took Shi Nian's hand, and went out.

As he left the office, he glanced at Secretary Xu.

Secretary Xu understood; it meant the meeting was postponed, and all schedules were pushed back.

While Secretary Xu was making the announcement, Huo Yanmo and Shi Nian were already searching for the cat at the Huo family's residence.

This cat roams freely in the Huo family, and wherever it goes, you have to call it "Orange Seat." Now, I don't know where it's gone to cause trouble again.

The two searched many places.

There are small cubicles, behind the money tree, and the cat treat storage room that the big orange cat loves to sneak into, etc.

None.

Finally, they found the large orange in a corner.

Two more dogs appeared next to the orange tabby.

"Meow!"

Big Orange barked.

"Woof woof!"

The two dogs immediately stood at attention in response.

Big Orange hired two underlings.

Seeing them coming, the big orange cat immediately jumped over, its tail held high as it rubbed against their legs.

"Meow!"

It cried out.

"Woof woof!" The two dogs on the other side responded immediately.

Shi Nian couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Reach out to pet the cat.

Huo Yanmo went to get some cat treats and also had someone buy some dog food.

But the dog didn't dare eat it; it just stared at the big orange dog.

"This is dog food, you can give it to your little brother," Shi Nian said to Da Ju.

The orange tabby dog ​​was quite intelligent. After seeing Shi Nian and Huo Yanmo set out the dog food, it meowed, and the two dogs began to wolf it down.

I found it delightful to read the passage.

Huo Yanmo also squatted down to watch, a smile on his face.

Shi Nian looked at the cat and two dogs, while Huo Yanmo looked at her.

Later, during their time together, many people told him not to spoil women too much, otherwise they would become unruly.

But he just wouldn't listen.
