Jiang Can looked at him quietly, her brows slightly furrowed, and her beautiful eyes revealed a somewhat complicated emotion.

She didn't want it to be true either.

But He Jin's kindness to them was really against common sense.

Jiang Can bit her lip, her expression not looking too good.

Huo Zhixing quickly moved closer, smiling ingratiatingly.

She glanced at him, gently pushed him away, and moved a distance between herself and him.

"I think... He Jin's feelings for you are not normal."

"What?" Huo Zhixing's ears rang, and he was stunned for a long time. "Can Can, you... how could you think like that?"

“It’s not that I want to think that way, it’s just that his behavior is so abnormal.” Jiang Can lowered her voice. “Don’t you think he’s being too nice to us? At first, you thought he had feelings for me, but that’s not the case at all!”

"Honey, I think... he likes you!"

Jiang Can's aggrieved voice carried a hint of helplessness.

A woman's intuition is never wrong.

She turned her back, her arms tightening around Xiao Junyu involuntarily, her heart pounding.

Huo Zhixing stood there innocently, feeling like he had a lump in his throat that he couldn't get out of.

What does this even mean?!

A voice inside him began screaming: This woman has been acting strangely ever since she became a mother. She's always either overreacting or paranoid! And now... now she even suspects that another man likes him?!

Doesn't she know how I usually treat her? How can she have such suspicions without feeling any remorse?

With such a vivid imagination, why don't you become a screenwriter!

He deserves a beating!

However, after his outburst, Third Master Huo instantly transformed into a meek lamb, smiling broadly as he approached her, his strong hands gently encircling her from behind.

"Wife..." His voice was soft and gentle, his nose brushing against her hair with a hint of doting, "What are you thinking about all day? Don't overthink it. You've had a long day, so get some rest first."

But Jiang Can wasn't having any of it. She swayed left and right a few times and broke free from him.

She turned around, her face serious, like a dignified female police officer in a Hong Kong movie.

Huo Zhixing wondered if he should immediately squat down, put his hands behind his head, and shout: "Madam, I was wrong!"

"Can Can, I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything." He licked his lips, confessing readily, "He Jin and I went to the same school, but back then he knew me, but I didn't know him!"

Jiang Can slightly raised her chin, "So you mean you're incredibly charming, with a huge number of boys and girls secretly in love with you? And I must have done something really good in my past life to be able to marry you?"

"No!" Huo Zhixing broke out in a cold sweat and denied it outright.

"Go on!"

"...I...I was the captain of the school boxing team. Once, I saw a group of black and white people bullying He Jin, so I stepped in to help him. Actually, I had long forgotten about it, and I hadn't had any contact with He Jin since. If he hadn't brought it up when we met recently, I wouldn't have remembered it at all..."

"You two met alone a while ago?"

"..."

Oh no, the more I try to explain, the worse it gets!

"Can Can, let me explain," Third Master Huo said in a panic, his mind unable to keep up with his mouth, "I met with He Jin because I thought he was interested in you. I just wanted to give him a warning and tell him to stay away from you!"

"Ha," Jiang Can chuckled, "but I never expected he wasn't interested in me at all! That meeting was exactly what he wanted!"

"..."

Jiang Can's jealousy erupted like a volcano.

"It seems you two had a good chat, catching up on old times, and even remembering things you had forgotten!"

"..."

"Huo Zhixing!"

Jiang Can stomped her feet in anger.

Huo Zhixing panicked completely, feeling both regretful and anxious, and worried that her anger would harm her health... For example, some breastfeeding women experience a drop in milk production when their emotions fluctuate.

Not only will her son go hungry, but she herself will suffer too!

Jiang Can's chubby cheeks and her big, watery eyes were tinged with a hint of anger, which made her rather cute.

Huo Zhixing looked at her quietly, smiled gently, and then turned and went downstairs.

Jiang Can paused for a moment, then followed with her son in her arms. But Huo Zhixing ran fast, and soon he was seen running out of the living room and into the yard.

The housekeeper and servants were also at a loss, and looked at Jiang Can with confusion.

"Miss... what kind of fruit would you like to eat?"

"Fruit?" Jiang Can was stunned. "I don't eat it!"

"What was the son-in-law doing in the storage room? That storage room is basically full of fruit!"

Jiang Can was even more confused, but soon Huo Zhixing came out carrying two large durians and put them in front of her.

"What... are you doing?" Jiang Can took a few steps back.

Huo Zhixing remained expressionless and softly uttered two words: "I will kneel."

"you……"

"Honey, we already established our family rules, didn't we?" he chuckled. "First, no matter what, you're always right. Second, if you're wrong, refer to rule number one!"

"So there's no explanation for this, it's all my fault!"

"If you're wrong, you should be punished. What's kneeling on a washboard compared to Lu Lishan? I'll kneel on a durian!"

Jiang Can opened her eyes wide and stared at him in disbelief.

Her heart softened instantly; durians have so many thorns, what if she got hurt...?

Then she began to reflect on herself as usual—even if He Jin liked her husband, he hadn't done anything out of line; on the contrary, he had always protected the couple.

Having gone through thick and thin with Huo Zhixing all these years, she knows her husband better than anyone.
