After the Substitute Marriage, I Discovered My Husband is a Hidden Tycoon

I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?

Jiang Can co...

Chapter 221 The Background of Actor Nie

She didn't pay attention and was about to put her phone back in her pocket when she suddenly received another anonymous message.

I miss you so much.

Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat, and a bad feeling crept into her heart like vines.

She stood there for a long time, her mind blank. She took a deep breath, feeling as if her head was tangled with knots of emotion, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Like the previous one, it was probably sent to the wrong person. She comforted herself.

She put her phone away, then suddenly felt a chill down her spine. She wrapped her coat tighter around herself and quickened her pace to get home.

...

The top floor of the Huo Building.

Huo Zhixing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city below. His brows furrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed in his deep eyes.

"Young Master," Fang Han knocked on the door and entered, reporting in a low voice, "Dr. Shen's accommodations have been arranged. He will report to the Medical Research Center today."

"Hmm," Huo Zhixing responded indifferently.

"Although Dr. Shen is a surgeon, he also has some research achievements in psychiatry and psychology, so the medical center hopes that he can also hold regular consultations."

"Also, he met with Miss Zhixin as soon as he arrived in Yangcheng yesterday afternoon," Fang Han continued. "Miss Zhixin's mood has improved a lot."

Huo Zhixing's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"That's good." He said in a deep voice, turning back to look at Fang Han, "Can Can suspects that Zhi Xin's fainting in the mall is related to Yin Shaoqing."

“But…” Fang Han asked, puzzled, “We’ve already checked the surveillance footage, and Yin Shaoqing wasn’t with her at the time.”

Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes, and after a long while said softly, "Perhaps the problem lies in their usual interactions..."

"Young Master, what do you mean?"

“If they’re really dating, they’ll definitely have messages on their phones.” Huo Zhixing said calmly. “Zhixin won’t let me see her phone. We need to think of a way to get Yin Shaoqing’s phone!”

"Yes, I understand!" Fang Han nodded vigorously.

Huo Zhixing sat back down behind his large desk.

The calendar indicates that Wang Meiyun's birthday party is still two weeks away.

There was also a "help request" message from Lu Lishan on my phone.

"How about bringing Jiang Can along for a get-together this weekend?"

Huo Zhixing smiled gently.

Lin Yuqing's endocrine system has been out of balance since she became pregnant, and she has a terrible temper. Lu Lishan definitely can't handle her.

So, on the weekend, Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing came to the Lu family's house together.

Lin Yuqing is almost four months pregnant. Her belly is slightly protruding, her complexion is rosy, she looks great, and she has gained weight.

She was overjoyed by Jiang Can's arrival and put away all her bad temper.

"The doctor said I'm well-nourished," she laughed, "but I still have to be careful. If I can't control my diet and the fetus gets too big, I'll suffer a lot during childbirth!"

"No, I won't." Jiang Can held her hand. "I will definitely keep an eye on you and make sure you don't get too fat."

The two hadn't seen each other for a while, and when they met, they had so much to talk about.

Lin Yuqing and Jiang Can were chatting in the bedroom, and Jiang Can couldn't resist touching her belly.

"May I?"

"Of course!" Lin Yuqing took her hand and placed it on her stomach.

"It's still early in the pregnancy," she said with a smile. "I feel occasional fetal movements, but they're not very noticeable. As the pregnancy progresses, the movements will increase, and I'll even see tiny hands and feet pushing against my belly!"

Jiang Can smiled along with her, and at the moment her hand touched her, she had a strange feeling.

Beneath the thin skin, a little life was growing, transforming from a tiny bean sprout into a little baby who could stretch out and kick...

Lin Yuqing also became gentle, her face radiating maternal warmth.

Jiang Can felt a lump in her throat, and her eyes quietly reddened.

Perhaps I will never have such good fortune in my entire life.

"What's wrong?" Lin Yuqing looked at her.

"It's nothing," Jiang Can chuckled. "I'm just guessing whether it's a boy or a girl."

"I feel it's a girl," Lin Yuqing said, touching her belly. "The baby is so well-behaved and sweet. Other people's early pregnancy symptoms are all different, some vomit and some feel dizzy, but I don't have any symptoms at all. I can eat and sleep well!"

"Sister Yuqing..." Jiang Can said, both amused and exasperated, "It's not the baby who's considerate of you, it's Brother Shan!"

She looked toward the kitchen.

While the two were chatting, Lu Lishan was in the kitchen preparing a meal for a pregnant woman. It was a balanced meal with meat and vegetables, beautifully presented and delicious, and served in elegantly designed bowls and plates—a perfect template for a food photography shoot.

Huo Zhixing, leaning against the kitchen doorway, was so shocked he couldn't speak.

He remembered the breakfast he had once made for Jiang Can... burnt toast, charred eggs, and oatmeal porridge with hardly any oatmeal left...

He thought that he would probably never reach Lu Lishan's level in his lifetime.

"What are you spacing out for?" Lu Lishan wiped his hands, admiring his masterpiece, but then noticed a small problem. "No... Yuqing feels sick whenever she smells carrots, I have to pick out all these carrot pieces!"

Then he picked up his chopsticks and picked at it little by little.

Huo Zhixing patted him on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up.

"You don't need to worship me." Lu Lishan tossed his hair and chuckled in a low voice, "Let me tell you... even though I've been serving her like this, she still finds fault with me all the time!"

"Why?"

"It's probably a hormonal imbalance," Lu Lishan shrugged. "But it doesn't matter, I have to spoil my wife to the end, even if I have to kneel down!"

"Yes, your spirit is commendable."

"They're holding my manhood in their hands right now! How can I not be energetic?"

"Your manhood?" Huo Zhixing knew he was referring to the child, but he still deliberately looked down. "Isn't your manhood on your body?"
