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...
As soon as Huo Zhixing entered, he saw Yin Ruohong walking out.
He paused for a moment.
Normally, I would curse him in my heart and think he was getting in my way, but seeing his humble expression and reddened eyes, I couldn't even force a smile...
Huo Zhixing suddenly felt as if he had swallowed a sour plum, his throat feeling both sour and astringent.
"You've come..." Yin Ruohong said in a hoarse voice.
"Um."
Yin Ruohong didn't say anything more, glanced at him, and stumbled downstairs.
Huo Zhixing walked inside and saw Jiang Can sitting blankly on the sofa, looking as if her soul had been taken away, and she was in a very bad mood.
Upon seeing him, she could no longer hold back her tears.
Huo Zhixing held her in his arms, and every time she cried, his heart ached.
"Honey, how about we don't go to work today?" he whispered, gently stroking her back.
Actually, Jiang Can didn't have anything to do originally.
Before leaving, Fu Xiuyu instructed Manager Hao to keep an eye on the company's affairs.
I want to take you somewhere.
"Hmm?" Jiang Can looked up at him. "Where are we going?"
Huo Zhixing smiled, gently helped her put on her coat, and took her hand as they walked out of the Yufeng Media building.
Jiang Can was surprised to find that the car parked on the side of the road was the one she had bought for him.
"Why did you decide to drive this car?" She smiled and walked around it. "It seems newer than before."
Huo Zhixing pursed his lips and looked at her quietly.
Of course it's newer and prettier than before. He's treated this car like a treasure ever since he bought it. He's reluctant to drive it out and keeps it in the best spot in the garage. He even maintains it with the highest-spec features.
If Huo Zhixing's garage were a harem, those multi-million dollar luxury cars would definitely want to team up and crush this little vixen into scrap metal.
Huo Zhixing opened the door for her and carefully fastened her seatbelt.
Not long after setting off, Jiang Can realized that the route was wrong. It seemed to be heading out of the city, but it was not the way to Huo's Manor.
She was startled and turned to look at him, but the man had a calm smile on his face.
“Let’s go to Jiangzhou,” he said softly, holding her small hand.
"Go to Jiangzhou?" Jiang Can was taken aback. "Why..."
"I wanted to take you out for a walk to clear your head, but I don't know where to go right now. Jiangzhou isn't far from the central city, so it's easy to drive there and back."
“Wife,” he said, placing her small hand to his lips and kissing the back of it, “you’ll definitely like that place.”
Jiang Can nodded, agreeing to let him handle everything.
Huo Zhixing drove very steadily. She took a nap in the car and woke up in the evening.
As the last rays of sunset faded and night fell, neon lights began to twinkle. Jiangzhou's nights weren't as bustling as those in the city center, but they had their own unique charm.
This is not the city center, but the outskirts of Jiangzhou.
Jiang Can got out of the car and looked around. The mountains and rivers were beautiful and serene. Not far away was a place she knew even better—
It was in this small chapel that Huo Zhixing held a special wedding for her.
"How did you end up here?" Jiang Can asked with a smile.
The surrounding environment made her feel much more relaxed. The two walked in hand in hand, and the priest who greeted them last time was the same one.
The old man smiled kindly, turned and left, leaving the two of them enough space to enjoy their time together.
Jiang Can sat in front of the pipe organ and gently played a few notes. The pipe organ's tone was deeper and richer than that of the piano, making it sound more majestic.
But Jiang Can isn't very good at playing.
Jiang Yao practiced piano from a young age, and Jiang Mingyuan spent a lot of money to train her. Jiang Yao was also very popular when she was young. Whenever the choir had an event, she would sit in front of the organ and play because of her piano background, becoming the focus of the whole audience.
But Jiang Can could only stand helplessly in the corner.
As she grew up, she often thought that if she had been given the opportunity to learn the piano back then, she would have studied harder and played more diligently than Jiang Yao.
Jiang Can's expression darkened, and she left the organ to sit in the front row.
Huo Zhixing walked up to her and gently squatted down, his deep gaze focused on her small face, and he smiled gently.
"Wife, do you remember when I brought you here, how we had our wedding?"
Jiang Can nodded.
She was wearing a wedding dress that cost 30,000 yuan, which was so expensive it hurt her wallet.
Unlike now, she can afford a three-million-dollar wedding dress if she wants to.
Huo Zhixing took out his phone, which contained a treasured video. In the video, she laughed without any burden, her smile pure and clear, like a fairy descended to earth, her voice sweet and lingering.
"I swear, no matter what my husband becomes, I will love him forever!"
"Hmm... Even if he gets fat and ugly, gets old and stupid, and becomes a bald meatball, he will always be my husband, and I will always stay by his side and never leave him!"
Jiang Can burst out laughing.
How could I have said such a stupid thing back then!
However, she didn't know that in the days after Huo Zhixing's identity was revealed, when she ignored him, he treasured this video, watching it repeatedly until his eyes stung and his heart ached.
So now, he suddenly understands Yin Ruohong's feelings.
At least he had a video to watch, but Yin Ruohong had nothing.
"Alright, hurry up and put it away!" Jiang Can laughed happily. "I was so silly back then, I can't even bear to look at it!"
Huo Zhixing saw the sparkle in her eyes again, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, eased slightly. He gently took her small hand in his.
Feeling much better now?
"Mmm." Jiang Can smiled gently.
