[GB] Boss Ruan, your husband doesn't want you anymore.

Qian An unconsciously clenched one of her hands into her other hand.

Unconsciously, she broke her own finger, and as if she felt no pain, she was still in a daze.

She thought grimly, "He should be locked up where no one can see him, so that no one can get close to him."

Wu Ying's hand should also be chopped off.

Those eyes should be gouged out too.

There was a click.

Ruan Qian'an reattached his severed hand.

She realized she had been too soft-hearted, which allowed Huo Jingmo to act so recklessly. Qian An couldn't suppress her violent impulses at this moment.

It's better for Huo Jingmo's legs to remain broken, right? Qian An's eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

Suddenly something cold touched her.

Qian An shrank back, all her fierceness vanished, and she looked back with teary eyes, looking truly pitiful.

Huo Jingmo was stunned for a moment, and his angular face softened.

He sat back down in his original seat, handed the things he was holding to Qian'an, and asked hesitantly, "You..."

Qian'an then realized that she still had tear stains on her face, and she wiped them away in embarrassment.

He tried to remain calm and said, "It got into my eyes."

Huo Jingmo assumed that Qian'an had encountered something that caused her to cry, so he didn't ask any further questions.

Huo Jingmo pulled a tissue from the table and handed it to Qian An.

Qian'an accepted it and thanked him.

Her eyes were indeed unconsciously fixed on Huo Jingmo's legs, and she was annoyed that she had such thoughts again.

She was still annoyed by her irrationality earlier, wondering why she hadn't secretly followed him and instead just sat there dumbfounded.

Qian An sniffed heavily and said with a wronged expression, "Why did you abandon me?"

Huo Jingmo: "Huh?"

Huo Jingmo couldn't help but show a shocked expression upon hearing this, thinking to himself that it would be strange to bring you along.

Huo Jingmo chuckled and said, "I know what Miss Qian'an's purpose is in being by my side, but I don't quite understand your behavior."

Hearing Huo Jingmo say this, Qian'an felt a surge of nervousness. Did Huo Jingmo already know that she was Ruan Qian'an?

But she quickly dismissed the idea, thinking it was impossible. If she had known it was impossible, he would have spoken to her so calmly.

Did he see through her wolfish ambition and know that she wanted to have him?

Qian An lowered her head. Had she made it too obvious? She had been trying so hard to suppress it, so how could she still be seen through?

Qian'an pinched her hands hard, forcing herself not to think about the worst decision, nor to make the worst decision.

Because she didn't want Huo Jingmo to dislike her even more.

Qian An said, "Now that you know what my purpose is, what are your thoughts?"

Qian An raised her head and looked at Huo Jingmo with hopeful eyes, waiting for his answer.

Huo Jingmo never expected Qian An to ask such a question.

This left him somewhat speechless.

Huo Jingmo: "This..."

"You've stumped me."

Huo Jingmo tapped his fingers on the table, seriously considering Qian An's purpose in saying that.

Huo Jingmo said to Qian An, "We were originally in a cooperative relationship, so Wu Qing's actions are really not very ethical."

Qian An wondered what this matter had to do with Wu Qing. After thinking about it carefully, she understood what Huo Jingmo was really thinking.

Qian An asked in confusion, "Who is Wu Qing?"

Looking at Qian An's seemingly genuine expression, Huo Jingmo wondered if this young girl wasn't sent by Wu Qing. Had he misjudged her before?

Qian An kept a close eye on Huo Jingmo's expression.

At this moment, she said with a feigned blush, "It seems you've misunderstood something. I wasn't sent by anyone."

Qian An scratched her head awkwardly: "It was intentional of me to barge into your room, but someone really is chasing me."

Huo Jingmo: "Why did you have to barge into my room?"

Qian An looked troubled: "I told you, please don't hate me."

Huo Jingmo nodded; he was quite curious now.

Qian An stared at Huo Jingmo with sparkling eyes and said, "Because I fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to have an encounter with you."

Huo Jingmo was stunned, never expecting this reason, but her sincere gaze didn't seem fake.

Huo Jingmo: "That's it?"

Qian An: "Okay."

Qian An looked at Huo Jingmo and, as if she had been persuaded, said, "I was deeply attracted the moment I saw you. I couldn't take my eyes off you for even a moment. It would be my loss if I missed a single glance."

"My Treasure."

Huo Jingmo interrupted Qian An's rambling, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm already married."

Thinking about this, Huo Jingmo rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He was already stuck in a quagmire with no way out, and now someone was making things worse for him.

When Qian An heard Huo Jingmo say that, her eyes became much clearer. Oh right. She had forgotten. At that moment, she hated herself for being so brainless.

Qian An said dejectedly, "Where is your wife? I haven't seen you with her."

Without hesitation, Huo Jingmo said, "Dead."

Qian An: "Although it's a bit inappropriate, could you perhaps consider me?"

Huo Jingmo looked at the girl intently, as if he were discovering her true colors for the first time, and said, "Don't say things that are inappropriate."

Qian An was overjoyed to hear the news of her own death, saying, "So what? This just proves that we were destined to be together."

Huo Jingmo looked listless: "Not considering it."

Qian An rolled her eyes and said, "Then can we be friends?"

"It's always better to have more friends than more enemies."

Huo Jingmo smiled faintly, quietly observed Qian An for a moment, and said, "Of course."

Qian An looked at Huo Jingmo with a smile, feeling very happy, thinking that their relationship had finally made a breakthrough.

It's funny how they managed to break through from a marriage to a friendship; they really know how to do the reverse.

Qian An chuckled to herself.

Dark thoughts began to surface again, and Qian'an unconsciously scratched a bloody mark on her hand.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty scent, ruffled Huo Jingmo's hair as he gazed at the boundless sea, lost in thought.

He asked Qian'an in a casual tone, "How did you get on this ship?"

Qian An excitedly said, "I came here because I heard that a top-tier piece of jewelry would be auctioned here."

"I didn't expect to miss out on the jewelry."

Qian An looked at Huo Jingmo with tenderness and said, "But I met the treasure of my life."

Huo Jingmo stiffened, paused for a moment, then changed the subject: "Where are you from?"

Qian An smiled and said, "City A."

Huo Jingmo turned to look at Qian An and said, "City A?"

He then added with a smile, "I'm also from City A."

Qian An: "You know, we're destined to be together."

"Let's go together since we're going the same way."

Huo Jingmo smiled, but there was a hint of sadness on his face that was not easily noticed.

"Who knows? This ship might not make it back."

"This ship has already sailed into international waters."

Enjoying the moment of peace, Huo Jingmo continued, "Perhaps none of the people on this ship will survive."

Qian An blinked, thinking that Huo Jingmo was quite perceptive, sensing the crisis so quickly.

However, he looked uneasy, glancing around at people before whispering to Huo Jingmo, "Actually, I can also vaguely sense that something is wrong with this atmosphere."

After saying that, she sat back down and looked at the laughter and chatter around her: "Maybe we're overthinking it."

Huo Jingmo took a sip of water, then looked at the sea and said, "Maybe."

Before Qian'an could say anything, she felt a hand about to land on her shoulder.

The aura behind him was so cold that it was impossible for Qian An not to sense it.

She frowned unhappily, but refrained from doing anything because Huo Jingmo was present.

Number 2 put his arm around Qian An's shoulder and suddenly looked at her, asking, "What are you talking about?"
