Just in case!

She touched her lower abdomen, smiled at him, and exuded a gentle yet firm strength.

“If we really have a child, we'll have to plan for the child’s future. But this insurance is something I wanted to buy for you…”

She held his hand, her heart and eyes filled with nothing but him.

"Honey... this is my first pregnancy, and I'm really nervous. I've been reading a lot of information these past few days. I'm worried that if something unexpected happens, like what they say in those posts, then I'll..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huo Zhixing's face darkened, and he glared at her with utmost seriousness. "Don't let your imagination run wild. You'll be fine!"

"Don't get agitated!" Jiang Can leaned on his shoulder. "I'm just saying that if this happens, you should remember to take out this money."

"That won't happen! There won't be any chance!" Huo Zhixing couldn't help but roar, his deep and terrifying face even frightening Jiang Can.

She stared at him blankly, her heart pounding.

He moved swiftly and decisively, tearing the two insurance policies to shreds in just a few moments.

The world fell silent for a moment, as if it had entered a vacuum.

The chilling pressure emanating from Huo Zhixing made Jiang Can involuntarily take a step back.

"husband……"

Huo Zhixing suddenly realized that he had frightened her.

He pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, "I'm not angry with you, I just want you to know that this kind of accident won't happen."

"Even if something unexpected happens..."

His eyes narrowed, and he said in a hoarse voice, each word distinct, "I don't want children, I only want you!"

Jiang Can felt a warmth in her heart, her nose tingled a little, and she gently stroked his broad back with her small hand.

"Silly husband, what nonsense are you talking about again!"

"The child is both of ours, are you really willing to abandon it?"

He said those two words without hesitation: "I'm willing to give them up!"

Jiang Can couldn't help but chuckle, her soft white hands pinching his cheek, her playful big eyes sparkling like stars.

He had a deep, serious, and solemn appearance that was intimidating.

But she knew it was because he was nervous.

"Alright," she said softly, "from now on, neither of us will say such unlucky things. Let's both live to be a hundred years old and become old monsters together, is that alright?"

A slight smile finally appeared on Huo Zhixing's face.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call for him.

A few days later, he met Ye Chen at the law firm. "How did things go with the thing I asked you to do last time?"

Ye Chen stroked his chin and pulled up several templates from his computer.

"Third Brother, instead of that insurance you mentioned... I think it would be more appropriate for you to write a statement saying that all your assets belong to Jiang Can, or something like that."

"Is this statement legally valid?" Now, whenever it involves Jiang Can's interests, he always has to ask whether the law recognizes it.

Ye Chen laughed, "As long as it's notarized, it will definitely have legal effect!"

"Um."

"But Third Brother, are you really going to do this?"

"Anyway, she's my wife, so all my things should rightfully belong to her."

Although the marriage certificate hadn't been finalized yet, he wanted to give Jiang Can some kind of security first.

"If you do this, it will soon reach the old man's ears. After all, you are the most promising heir of the Huo family, and your assets are immeasurable."

Huo Zhixing slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes growing even more profound.

"It doesn't matter if you know, Can Can will have to face the Huo family sooner or later."

Ye Chen nodded, understanding his intention.

Jiang Can may not be accepted by the Huo family for the time being, but Huo Zhixing's move is forcing the Huo family to acknowledge Jiang Can's status.

No matter what, he will stand by her side and fight the whole world with her.

"By the way, Third Brother," Ye Chen's expression darkened, and he lowered his voice, "while I was researching commercial insurance, I made an unexpected discovery!"

Huo Zhixing frowned. "What's wrong?"

"Look at this."

Ye Chen handed him a photocopy.

Huo Zhixing briefly went through the whole thing from beginning to end and let out a cold snort.

Before he flew to California on his private jet to discuss business, Huo Zhanhe solemnly presented him with this huge insurance policy with a beaming smile.

They claimed that flying in the sky was unsafe and that they needed to provide their nephew with some protection.

The insurance policy covers a wide range of aspects, and the beneficiary is listed as Huo Zhixing's biological father, Huo Zhanpeng.

"Second Uncle is really putting on an act. He seems to be thinking of me in every way." Huo Zhixing sneered and threw the documents on the table.

"I had completely forgotten about this if you hadn't mentioned it!"

"Third Brother, take a closer look!" Ye Chen winked at him.

Huo Zhixing was puzzled, so he picked it up and read it line by line. When he got to the last page, he found something unusual!

"Yin Ruohong?" He couldn't help but raise his voice. "What's going on!"

Ye Chen smiled meaningfully, "This is my unexpected discovery."

"The policy Huo Zhanhe gave you back then had your father listed as the beneficiary. But on this policy, the beneficiary was secretly changed to Yin Ruohong."

Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes slightly, a sharp, cold glint flashing across them.

He hadn't paid much attention to the insurance policy at the time, taking it merely as Huo Zhanhe's feigned concern. After all, Huo Zhanhe had put on a lot of showy gestures over the years in order to please his grandfather.

Unexpectedly, the plane actually had an accident that time.

"So, if I really had died in that plane crash..." he said in a deep voice, "then the insurance payout of over 100 million US dollars would have ended up in Yin Ruohong's pocket?"

"Of course that's how it is." And it was done so without anyone noticing.

Huo Zhixing's expression was somber as he murmured the name, Yin Ruohong...

“I looked into the Yin family,” Ye Chen continued. “They have some influence in Southeast Asia, and they’re in the information technology and pharmaceutical industries.”

Huo Zhixing nodded.

However, the Yin family has always kept to themselves, never even cooperating with the people of Yangcheng; they've practically been on parallel paths. How could Yin Ruohong possibly be colluding with Huo Zhanhe?

It seems we need to continue the investigation.

He stubbed out his cigarette and was about to get up and leave when his phone suddenly vibrated.

"Gu Mang, it's me." Shen Xiao's voice sounded somewhat urgent. "Are you busy right now?"

"No, what is it?"

"Then come and keep Jiang Can company. She... isn't in a good mood."

Huo Zhixing's heart tightened. "What's wrong with her?"

Shen Xiao couldn't explain it clearly over the phone, so he told him to come to the hospital immediately.

...

Jiang Can walked out of Shen Xiao's office in a daze, her face pale and her eyes glazed over, and sat down in the corridor.

Her heart was pounding, her breathing was unsteady, and a chill ran down her spine.

Shen Xiao's words were still ringing in her ears.

"Jiang Can, the test results are in. Actually... you're not pregnant at all."

"But through your examination report, I also discovered something else."
