Huo Yu’an lowered her head and cried for a while. Then, she looked up and asked Lin Wanli, “Have you ever loved anyone?”
“Do you think that it’s too easy for me to say all this? People who have truly given their feelings to each other can’t easily accept these things, and they can’t deal with them objectively, right?”
Huo Yu ‘an nodded.
“Yes, for four years.”
“You have a boyfriend?” Huo Yu’an was surprised.
“No, I don’t.” Lin Wanli shook her head and continued, “Can’t I love without obtaining them?”
Huo Yutan suddenly remembered that Huo Qingxiao had taken a liking to Lin Wanli as his daughter-in-law. If she had a lover in her heart, would she be willing to marry Huo Jiuxiao?
If it were any other woman, Huo Yu’an would not have thought twice. However, Lin Wanli was always unexpected. She might not choose the secular world. “What if you marry someone you don’t love at all?”
“This problem doesn’t exist for the time being. It’s better to solve your own problems first.” Lin Wanli changed the topic back to her. She said, “You’ve heard of Huo Jiuxiao’s handling of Lu Xunyan, right? That is the fate of those who betray him.”
Huo Yu’an was actually very confused. She had been taking antidepressants for many years, so she could not guarantee that she would be able to control her temper when she was agitated.
However, the words ‘Huo family’ always restrained her. She should have the demeanor, bearing, and character of a Huo family member.
“I’ll go to Qiushan Zen Temple to settle down first.”
Lin Wanli didn’t stop her because she didn’t know much about depression. If she was dragged out, could she be pushed back to hell? She did not know. Moreover, it should not be easy to sort out her feelings after being deceived so many times.
It was four o’clock in the afternoon at the Huo Biological Laboratory in Africa.
Even though Huo Qingxiao was fully armed, he was still at risk of being infected because the virus had been leaked. Now, the entire biological laboratory has become an epidemic area. This strain was a new branch of the Marburg virus. The laboratory was still studying whether the toxicity was weaker or stronger, and no clear conclusion had been reached yet.
“Chairman, we need to move immediately and completely eliminate and quarantine them.” the laboratory doctor said to Huo Qingxiao.
“Let’s go.”
Huo Qingxiao had been calm all his life. He had brushed past death several times, so when faced with death, his expression did not change. “I’ll call Second Young Master immediately,” said Huo Qingxiao’s assistant.
“No need. Send a private plane to pick Huo Jiuxiao up.” Huo Qingxiao stopped his assistant and said, “I want to see him.”
“Alright, I’ll make a call to arrange a private plane from Jinzhou.”
The father and son had a one-month promise, but now that he was on the verge of death, there was no time for a gentleman’s promise. In other words, Huo Jiuxiao’s destination on his return trip to Africa would be the entire second floor of the Huo family, his original room.
Two hours later, on the top floor of Diheng, the Huos sent a helicopter to pick Huo Jiuxiao up.
Their destination was the Huo’s biological laboratory in Africa.
They seemed to be afraid that Huo Jiuxiao wouldn’t board the helicopter, so the Huo family carefully and truthfully described Huo Qingxiao’s situation in Africa. They were really anxious and were not acting.
Huo Jiuxiao stood at the entrance of the top floor, facing the strong wind. His eyes were filled with longing and reluctance.
Because he knew what his departure meant. He didn’t even get to say goodbye to his little sweet wife and little darling today.
“Eldest Young Master, please board the helicopter.”
Huo Jiuxiao retracted his gaze and boarded the helicopter. His heart was filled with concern, but he could not say a word.
After Huo Jiuxiao boarded the plane, he looked at his phone and thought about it repeatedly because he didn’t know how to break the news to Lin Wanli.
Because he was afraid, afraid that Lin Wanli would be sad. He was even more afraid that he would not be by her side when she was sad.
However, the only flight attendant reminded him that they were about to take off.
Huo Jiuxiao didn’t think much of it. After asking everyone to leave, he directly dialed Lin Wanli’s number.
When Lin Wanli saw Master Xiao’s number, she was stunned. Did he press the wrong number?
Just as she was about to reject the call and send a message, Huo Jiuxiao hung up and called again.
Lin Wanli picked up the call. Then, she heard her man’s voice.
“Listen to me.”
“I went to work obediently today, but I was picked up by the Huo family halfway through. The old thing met with trouble in Africa. It’s a matter of life and death. Perhaps he’s waiting for me to go over and collect his corpse.”
“Ah Li, remember what you promised me. Don’t let go of my hand.” “Remember to tell Youran that Daddy loves her, but he loves you more.” Lin Wanli’s tears suddenly gushed out.
She still had many things to tell Huo Jiuxiao, but he couldn’t hear a single word.
She really wanted to chase after him, but she knew that it was too late.
She had already planned for this day to come, but now that it had come to this, she was reluctant to part with him.
“It won’t be long. Wait for me.”
Lin Wanli didn’t hang up, but she returned to the message page and sent him a message.
There was only one sentence, “I will always love you and follow you.”
Huo Jiuxiao wanted to hug Lin Wanli, kiss her, and possess her, so he would do whatever it took to welcome this day.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wanli logged into the app that only belonged to the two of them to check Huo Jiuxiao’s location. He was no longer in Jinchuan and had already flown into the sky that belonged to him.
Lin Wanli turned around and looked out the window. It was as if she could still see Master Xiao’s smug face.
“Huo Jiuxiao, I will always keep my promise.”
On the other side, Huo Yutan was having insomnia again.
She was all too familiar with this feeling because all mental illnesses started with insomnia.
She knew that she had to take measures, but she wanted to know more about what Xiao Huaixing and that actress had done on the social media platforms.
In the middle of the night, Xiao Huaixing sent her a message. It was just a normal greeting, asking her to sleep well. But Huo Yutan knew that Xiao Huaixing might have been lying on top of that woman and sending her the message.
That afternoon, although Lin Wanli didn’t say it out loud, Lin Wanli’s meaning was very clear. She was Xiao Huaixing and that b*tch’s shield because she knew better than anyone else that the Xiao family didn’t allow actors to enter the house.
She didn’t want to think of herself as worthless, but how could she escape this?
As Huo Yu’an cried, she organized that celebrity and Xiao Huaixing’s social media posts. She sniffed the thousands of messages and found traces of their love, experiencing thousands of arrows piercing her heart over and over again.
They had worn the same shirt and were familiar with each other’s bodies. There were also countless secret codes..
