Huo Jin truly lives up to his reputation as the decisive and ruthless head of the Huo family. This is the sentiment of everyone, including Lu Qingyan.
After Huo Yin's death, the marine development project he was in charge of was put on hold.
Over the past five years, Lu Qingyan has made considerable efforts, publishing books to change people's perceptions of the ocean, reducing sewage discharge, and purifying seawater...
The series of measures were not entirely without effect. Initially, the results were minimal, but with Huo Jin's support, she didn't find the process too tiring. Gradually, more and more people joined in, and the changes they made became more and more significant, leading to a significant improvement in the marine environment.
Now, the mermaids no longer experience the slight discomfort they used to feel when entering the sea.
Lu Qingyan thought to herself, "I guess I've succeeded in protecting the ocean?"
Eight years after leaving that island, Lu Qingyan never expected that Huo Jin would propose to her.
She inexplicably felt that she was being repaid with her body for saving her life.
The Huo family is wealthy and powerful, and Huo Jin is the kind of guy that all girls would want to marry. Why would he choose me?
But such a thing did happen.
From the moment Huo Jin was rescued, he continued to help Lu Qingyan, and the seeds of friendship were slowly sown.
Upon closer examination, Huo Jin's contributions have far exceeded what Lu Qingyan should have received.
At first, Lu Qingyan was somewhat dazed, but later she accepted it with a clear conscience. After all, more debts are never a burden, and the creditor was just one person.
Huo Jin treated Lu Qingyan to dinner as usual, but after the meal, he took Lu Qingyan's hand and said, "Xiao Rou."
Huo Jin called out to her, his expression not particularly gentle, but Lu Qingyan could see the seriousness in his eyes: "I want to ask you, will you be my wife?"
Lu Qingyan was stunned. Actually, she had suspected this for a while, but Huo Jin's usual behavior didn't seem to fit the bill, and she almost thought she was just imagining things.
The truth is that Huo Jin had been waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to bring down Huo Yin and other opposing forces in the Huo family.
The result was obvious; he succeeded.
Undeterred by Lu Qingyan's lack of response, he continued, "Xiaorou, this isn't a spur-of-the-moment decision; I've thought about it for a long time. I don't know when it started, but your image has been in my heart for a long time. It may have been faint and subtle, but it was definitely there. Maybe it was when I first saw you, or maybe it was when I first learned about your cooking. But I think, besides you, I would never want to hold hands with anyone else in this world."
Huo Jin is not usually a talkative person, but now he is saying sweet words that make Lu Qingyan's eyes red and she can't help but be moved.
Lu Qingyan thought about it and finally agreed. Not for any other reason, but because she couldn't deceive herself that the person wasn't Mo Yunjing.
Yes, they look exactly alike, but they are not only identical. Their personalities are very different, yet they have many things in common, and many of their unintentional little hobbies are exactly the same.
Given that, what reason does she have to refuse?
Lu Qingyan held his hand again, but unfamiliar words flashed through her mind.
It seems like a long time ago, there was someone who accompanied her through one world after another, but she has forgotten them all.
Lu Qingyan wasn't one to dwell on the past often, but she felt a little uneasy.
