After a long while, she heard him say this.
Xun Nuo looked at him in shock.
She had never thought about marriage, nor had she ever thought that Huo Jingyan wanted to marry her.
She knew clearly from the beginning what this engagement meant—it was merely for the sake of interests, they had no feelings, and separating was only a matter of time.
"Don't worry, I won't force you to stay," Huo Jingyan took a drag from his cigarette, straightening his bent legs.
Then, he turned to look at Xun Nuo.
He lifted his hand holding the cigarette, extending it as if to touch her face.
The heat from the cigarette was scorching, brushing past Xun Nuo's cheek, she could almost smell the scent of her hair being singed by the flame.
He continued to say, "Once I get what I want, I'll let you go."
Shen Xianyu urged him to try hard to fight for Jinjue, and although he no longer had the initial intention for the company, he didn't want to disobey her words.
