Chapter 345 Even if we're apart, I hope you're doing well.
Disjointed, unfamiliar piano sounds.
The figure of a little girl sitting at the piano, and the man sitting beside her, patiently teaching her.
A gentle breeze was blowing.
Shi Nian suddenly remembered that many years ago, her father sat beside her in the same way, holding her hand and playing the piano with her.
"Uncle Mo, when will I be able to play as well as Aunt Xiaonian?" Sisi's childish voice came from behind.
"You've only been playing for a short time, so you need to take it slow." Huo Yanmo's voice was filled with laughter and gentleness as he guided Sisi through the familiar piano. "Haste makes waste."
“Okay…” Sisi’s voice was a little frustrated. “I really want to learn it quickly so I can play the piano with Aunt Xiaonian later.”
"Little rascal." Huo Yanmo's voice was full of affection. "Then I'll have Kevin teach you, okay? We'll schedule another piano lesson in the morning."
"I'm just worried you won't be able to get up in the morning," he said with a smile.
“I can get up, I can get up!” Sisi said immediately. “Uncle Mo, don’t underestimate me.”
The two chatted about everyday things, a simple yet happy conversation.
My eyes welled up with tears when I read it.
"Miss Shi." When Aunt Wu came out, she noticed Shi Nian and called out to her.
The two people, one big and one small, standing by the piano turned around and looked at her together.
"Auntie Xiaonian!"
"Nian Nian".
The two shouted at the same time.
Shi Nian smiled, nodded to Wu Ma, and walked over.
"Play the piano?" Shi Nian pretended that she had just returned.
“Yes, that’s right,” Sisi said with a smile.
"Come here." Shi Nian took Sisi's hand, and Huo Yanmo immediately made way for her.
Shi Nian held Si Si's hand, just like her father had done many years ago when he was by her side.
She played "Dance of Flowers" for Sisi.
The music was melodious. Huo Yanmo stood to the side, looking down at the two of them with a smile in his eyes.
The song ended.
Applause erupted; it was Huo Yanmo, who was standing to the side, clapping.
"It sounds great," he said with a smile.
The wind lifted the gauze curtain, and his face looked beautiful in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Sisi, who was next to me, was also clapping and exclaiming.
Shi Nian smiled too.
It was something she had longed for: the feeling of home.
Shi Nian played with Si Si for a while longer and ate some snacks that Huo Yanmo had brought back before night fell.
After dinner, Huo Yanmo said to Shi Nian, "Niannian, come to the study for a moment."
Shi Nian could tell what Huo Yanmo wanted to say, so she followed him over.
Huo Yanmo rolled up a calligraphy scroll, revealing a safe behind it.
Shi Nian saw him about to open the box, so she avoided his gaze and didn't watch him turn the combination lock.
"Fool," Huo Yanmo chuckled. "Watch how I open it, and then you'll have to remember the password."
Shi Nian was stunned, not understanding Huo Yanmo's meaning at first.
However, Huo Yanmo was already opening the box, and Shi Nian could only watch.
The password to open the box is somewhat complicated; it's not a keypad type but a combination of several, which suggests that the contents inside are very important.
"Clang!"
The box was opened.
Inside were stacks of documents and some items that looked very valuable.
“This…” Shi Nian looked at Huo Yanmo.
"This is all I have," Huo Yanmo said with a smile, taking some out to show Shi Nian.
Shi Nian glanced at them and saw that the items he casually pulled out were real estate or mineral resources from some country.
Shi Nian didn't take it; she looked at Huo Yanmo with a puzzled expression.
“I will call a lawyer over tomorrow. If you know any lawyers, call them over too. The lawyers will show you around my properties and then transfer them to our names.”
Huo Yanmo's voice came through.
Shi Nian was stunned.
She looked at Huo Yanmo strangely.
He said that when the lawyer came over earlier, she thought it was for notarization.
Just like before she and Lu Yanzhi got married, they also had a prenuptial agreement and notarized their marriage.
After all, Lu's Group is not a small company, but a listed company and a group, so it has to protect the interests of the group.
The Huo family is also one of the three major giants in City A, so the Huo family is of the same nature.
However, Huo Yanmo said that transferring the assets to both of their names would mean that the two of them would be completely bound together.
Once she divorces him, she will take half of his fortune.
No, they're not even married yet.
Although she has accepted his marriage proposal, they have not yet registered their marriage or held a wedding ceremony.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yanmo asked, noticing her expression.
Shi Nian thought for a moment, then carefully said, "Yan Mo, isn't this a bad idea?"
Huo Yanmo seemed not to understand her meaning and looked at her strangely.
“These are your own things from before your marriage…” Shi Nian said.
"This?" Huo Yanmo said with a smile, "From now on, it'll be just the two of us."
“But what if we break up…” Shi Nian said anxiously.
"Will we break up?" Huo Yanmo looked at Shi Nian and asked seriously.
Looking into Huo Yanmo's dark and affectionate eyes, Shi Nian didn't know how to answer.
"well……"
Huo Yanmo sighed deeply, reached out and put his arm around Shi Nian's shoulder, held her face, and kissed her forehead.
"Even if we separate in the future for some reason," Huo Yanmo said softly, "I hope you can live well, have some businesses, at least enough to guarantee a basic living, right?"
Shi Nian raised her head and looked at Huo Yanmo in front of her. His eyes were full of seriousness and heartache.
She could tell that he wasn't just saying it casually, but had carefully considered the possibility of their separation.
It wasn't a reckless promise made in the heat of passion, but rather a promise he would accept willingly even if it ended in separation.
Shi Nian's eyes reddened.
Her nose felt sore, and she couldn't speak.
"Silly girl." Huo Yanmo reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, saying, "Of course I want us to be together forever."
"I'm just afraid..."
Huo Yanmo did not continue.
But Shi Nian understood what he meant.
Perhaps because she had just met Xu Qinxin today and remembered the passing of Huo Yanmo's father, she immediately understood Huo Yanmo's meaning.
He was afraid he would die before her.
He was also afraid that one day she would stop liking him.
Even so, he still hoped that she could live a good life.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Shi Nian tiptoed and took the initiative to kiss Huo Yanmo's lips.
He hugged her tightly and deepened the kiss.
The two kissed for a long time before finally letting go of each other.
Shi Nian lowered her head, too shy to look at Huo Yanmo.
"I still need to think about whether I want these things or not," Shi Nian said.
"Mmm." Huo Yanmo's voice was hoarse, carrying a suppressed desire.
Shi Nian could hear the change in his tone, but this was a study, not a bedroom.
She still gets shy.
"Oh, right." Shi Nian suddenly remembered Xu Qinxin, so she asked, "Why doesn't Aunt Xu live in the manor?"
Huo Yanmo scratched his head, glanced at Shi Nian, and whispered in her ear, "She's with her new boyfriend."
