A few days later, Jiang Can followed Huo Zhixing to Manchester.

The trip went smoothly. Her pregnancy symptoms had subsided, and she didn't feel particularly uncomfortable. After adjusting to the time difference for two days, she was full of energy again.

Next, she wanted to take a good look around the city.

This is where Huo Zhixing grew up. Unlike London, it's not shrouded in fog. Every day, you can see bright sunshine, and every building is imbued with a strong sense of history.

This city has a unique sense of history. As the sun sets, flocks of white doves fly over the church spire, leaving behind a beautiful silhouette.

Jiang Can fell in love with this place as soon as she arrived.

Huo Zhixing held her hand as they walked through the streets and alleys, went to Old Trafford to watch a game, and went to North Point to hunt for all sorts of strange and unusual treasures.

Go to Albert Square to feed the pigeons.

Huo Zhixing only used to come here when he was feeling down; he never imagined that one day he would bring his beloved wife to this place.

The pigeons in the square seem to be fatter than before; they look like they're doing well.

"Do you like it here?" Huo Zhixing gently hugged her from behind.

Now her belly is getting bigger and bigger, and her waist is no longer as slender as it used to be. In a few more months, he might not be able to hug her anymore.

Jiang Can smiled at him and nodded.

She liked it here, and she liked it even more to snuggle in his arms.

The reason she loves this place is because he grew up here. Without him, even the most beautiful place wouldn't seem special to her.

"You've had enough fun these past few days, shouldn't you be going to the company tomorrow?" Jiang Can asked.

Huo Zhixing said softly, "Yes."

When they first arrived in Manchester, Fu Xiuyu had planned a grand welcome banquet for Jiang Can. However, because she was pregnant, it was not suitable for such an occasion, so the banquet was changed to a simple family dinner.

Jiang Can took this opportunity to get to know the members of the Fu family.

My maternal grandfather was a particularly kind and approachable old man, much like Huo Wenyuan. At first glance, he appeared dignified and self-possessed, but in reality, he was a playful old man who was very easygoing.

However, now that he has stepped down, all the affairs of the Fu family have fallen on Fu Xiuyu's shoulders.

Because she got along well with Fu Xiuyu and her maternal grandfather, Jiang Can assumed that the rest of the Fu family were the same as them, but the reality was not so.

Although the Fu family is a prominent clan in the area, controlling several large conglomerates, its internal disunity is also well-known.

Everyone wanted to establish their own business and share the profits of the conglomerate. They were particularly dissatisfied with Fu Xiuyu, who held great power, and thus transferred this dissatisfaction to Huo Zhixing.

So at that family dinner, Jiang Can carefully observed the surrounding situation and secretly figured out the interests and relationships among these people.

Apart from the mother-in-law and maternal grandfather, everyone wears a mask of smiles, but hides a knife behind their backs—this is the true state of the Fu family.

Huo Zhixing's trip to the UK was also to help his mother clear obstacles.

Jiang Can finally understood why Yin Wenxi had called her before she came here and repeatedly told her to be Fu Xiuyu's good helper.

"Don't worry about the Fu family's affairs, I'll take care of everything." Huo Zhixing squeezed her shoulder and let her rest her head on his shoulder.

But Jiang Can had her own ideas. She couldn't let her husband fight alone, and she had promised her mother that she would help her mother-in-law.

“But…” Jiang Can pouted, “I don’t want to stay home all day doing nothing.”

"Isn't this your place to rest and recuperate during pregnancy?" Huo Zhixing chuckled.

“Then I need to do something too!” Jiang Can said seriously. “Many posts on parenting forums say that women can work during pregnancy as long as their symptoms aren’t too severe! And normal work and study can not only help establish a regular routine, but it’s also a great form of prenatal education for the baby!”

Huo Zhixing pursed his lips.

When he saw this, he had already had all the posts deleted, right?

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want Jiang Can to find something to do; it was just that the people and things in the Fu family were incredibly difficult to deal with, and he was afraid that she would be stressed and upset.

"In short, I'm going to fight alongside you." Jiang Can held his hand, looking into his eyes, her expression gentle yet firm. "Wasn't this how we always were? We promised each other that we would never let the other face anything alone."

Huo Zhixing felt a warmth in his heart and touched her hair.

After a moment, he chuckled softly, "Yes, you're right."

"Honey, what would you like to do?"

"I haven't decided yet." Jiang Can smiled, just then her stomach growled, she was hungry again.

She glanced at her husband, feeling a little embarrassed, and her face flushed involuntarily.

Huo Zhixing hugged her and laughed heartily.

"Honey, I've decided what you should do. Why don't you open a Chinese restaurant here? You can make money and eat at the same time! Perfect!"

Jiang Can jumped up and was about to punch him.

Huo Zhixing bent down to let her massage him, so that she could expend more energy and eat more later.

The two laughed and joked as they walked towards the hotel in the city center.

Not far away, several pairs of eyes were quietly watching this side. After a long silence, one of the women said softly, "Miss, that is the young mistress that Young Master Zhixing brought back from Yangcheng."

"Yes, I know." The girl nodded. "I really regret that I didn't go to the family dinner last time."

"Miss, what are your plans next...?"

"What are you saying?" The girl glared at the maid. "Since she's the sister-in-law that Brother Zhixing brought back, of course we have to get along with her properly!"

She smiled after she finished speaking.

She was dressed in a British girl's outfit, with a well-tailored wool coat paired with a plaid skirt and Oxford shoes, but her features were typical of an Asian.
