Lin Yi, unaware of Huo Jihan's emotional shift, said casually, "I did notice something interesting."
Huo Jihan pressed, "What did you notice?"
Lin Yi flipped to a page and pointed it out to Huo Jihan. "It says here that after three years, if either of us wants to terminate the agreement, we can choose to end the marriage."
Lin Yi merely stated a fact calmly.
But Huo Jihan was not calm. He stared at Lin Yi and asked, "Do you want to end the marriage?"
At this point, Lin Yi sensed something off in Huo Jihan's voice and explained, "I haven't specifically thought about it; I'm just pointing out what the agreement says."
With time passing, the three-year mark was approaching, and perhaps new plans were needed.
He simply thought that if changes were to occur, it would be good to plan ahead.
Huo Jihan stared intently at Lin Yi: "Among all the clauses in the agreement, you specifically pointed out this one."
This already spoke volumes.
At the very least, it was clear that Lin Yi had no qualms about ending the marriage, meaning he wasn't overly attached to this family.
Lin Yi was free and could leave gracefully at any time.
When Lin Yi looked up at Huo Jihan, he noticed that Huo Jihan's eyes were unusually dark, filled with emotions he couldn't quite read.
He asked, somewhat puzzled, "Mr. Huo?"
Had he said something wrong? This was simply part of the agreement.
Huo Jihan gazed deeply at Lin Yi, remaining silent for a moment.
Lin Yi: "..."
The bedroom suddenly fell into silence.
Lin Yi carefully recalled their conversation and then tentatively explained, "I didn't say I would leave once the three years are up; I just pointed out the possibility."
Huo Jihan's voice was heavy. "In your plan, is leaving one of the possibilities?"
Lin Yi thought for a moment and nodded honestly.
Although he was currently living well here, his relationship with Huo Jihan was maintained solely by an agreement. Who could predict what would happen in the future?
Lin Yi habitually considered all possible outcomes.
He wasn't someone who hadn't faced challenges before; he could handle any result.
No matter which path he took, he could still live his life to the fullest.
Seeing Lin Yi nod, Huo Jihan felt his heart sink heavily.
He had thought their relationship was evolving, but from Lin Yi's perspective, it hadn't changed at all.
Lin Yi remained the carefree Lin Yi.
The next day.
Huo Group.
The entire company was shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere.
Everyone dared not even breathe loudly, and they kept their voices down during conversations, fearing they might accidentally offend someone.
A department head stood outside Huo Jihan's office, trembling with both legs.
After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't muster the courage to knock on the door.
Just then, he saw Li Feng.
