"Wife, what are you saying?" Huo Zhixing said with a forced smile.

"I was saying that someone back in my hometown seems to have a close male friend! True love doesn't seem to discriminate based on gender, does it?"

Jiang Can's face turned red from laughing.

However, she only covered her mouth and laughed, while Lu Lishan suddenly let out a thunderous laugh: "Hahahahahahaha!"

This shout startled Lin Yuqing, and she raised her hand to hit him.

Huo Zhixing pouted and rolled her eyes at him, then saw Jiang Can's triumphant expression and wanted to pinch her.

As a result, when his hand touched her waist, it turned into a gentle embrace, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Honey, let's not bring this up again, okay?"

"I'm not angry, I was just joking with you." Jiang Can gently touched his face.

Although he's aged, his face is still charming, and he remains the most handsome man in her heart.

“Yes,” Lin Yuqing nodded, “If we hadn’t talked about Niannian and Xiaoyouzi, we wouldn’t have brought this up… But Can Can, do you really think that Niannian has those kinds of feelings for our Xiaoyouzi?”

"I can't say for sure," Jiang Can said after a moment's thought. "I hope not."

"Actually... she really is a good girl." Lin Yuqing sighed softly. "The last time I saw her standing next to Jingnan in her formal dress, they really looked like a perfect match!"

"Don't worry, good people will always be rewarded." Jiang Can held her hand. "We're getting old now and can't interfere too much. Let the children decide their own marriages."

There's still a month until the wedding.

With most of the necessary arrangements completed, Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian were spending more and more time together.

To be precise, he was clinging to Jiang Mianmian.

He didn't believe in such nonsense as "men and women should see each other less or not at all before marriage"!

He just wanted to see her, every moment, every second, he wanted to be by her side.

That day, he came to Lu's again and went to the young CEO's office with ease. The secretary understood what was going on as soon as she saw him and immediately rearranged the young CEO's work, leaving the two of them alone during the lunch break.

Huo Junyu walked to Jiang Mianmian's desk with a smile and leaned against it casually.

Jiang Mianmian didn't even look up, deliberately asking, "A new applicant?"

Huo Junyu was taken aback, then smiled and said, "Yes. Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with my terms...?"

"The terms are good, but... what are you doing in my office alone?"

"What else can I do?" Huo Junyu leaned down and said in a hoarse voice, "Of course, I want to get the job!"

Jiang Mianmian looked up and saw the man smiling like a flower. It was hard to associate him with the decisive and ruthless CEO Huo in the Huo Group building.

She suddenly remembered a time when they were video chatting, and Huo Junyu said he wanted to take a shower with her, and then he struck a pose in front of the camera, which backfired...

Jiang Mianmian chuckled and stood up to pinch his cheek.

Huo Junyu felt an unbearable itch in his heart and suddenly wrapped his arms around her waist... Actually, he really wanted to have a passionate and unrestrained time with her in the office, but...

Let's wait until after we get married.

The first time can't be so hasty; it has to be in that dream wedding room, on that soft, big bed...

Jiang Mianmian, unaware of the countless romantic images that had flashed through his mind, innocently asked him, "Junyu, what's wrong? Why are you spacing out?"

Huo Junyu snapped out of his daze and gave a meaningful smile.

“Oh, right, I have something to show you!” Jiang Mianmian said, then took out a completed architectural design drawing from the bookshelf behind her.

Huo Junyu was slightly taken aback. "This is..."

"Didn't someone say they wanted me to 'keep a mistress in a golden house'?"

"So, this is the 'golden house' you built for me?" Huo Junyu was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

He carefully examined the drawings. Jiang Mianmian's drawing skills were superb; the drawings looked like they were machine-printed. Every design was unique, and every detail was pursued to the extreme.

"Do you like it?" Jiang Mianmian looked at him expectantly.

Huo Junyu chuckled. How could he not like it?

He remembered that his mother had bought his father a very cheap car, which his father treasured and maintained with the highest quality.

His wife was even more impressive; she simply gave him a house.

“The best place would be by the sea, with mountains and water,” Huo Junyu said, putting his arm around her and letting her rest her head on his shoulder. “This house would look even better if it were built along the mountainside.”

"Mianmian, have you chosen a place yet?"

"Okay, I've made my choice."

Jiang Mianmian rubbed his face, "But I'll keep this place a secret from you for now. Once I've finished building the house, I'll hide you away properly!"

Huo Junyu smiled. He didn't care about houses or anything like that. At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was incredibly attractive to him.

A month later, a grand wedding was held at the Huo family manor.

It was a crisp autumn day, and this open-air wedding was both grand and heartwarming, with every little detail exuding elegance and luxury.

Those who were able to attend the wedding were all close relatives and friends, and all media were declined.

Huo Junyu didn't want to put too much pressure on Jiang Mianmian. They weren't public figures, and although there had been many speculations about their wedding, they had no obligation to satisfy their curiosity.

He simply wanted to use this solemn ceremony to announce to the world that he had married the girl he had held hands with since childhood, the girl he had always longed for, and the girl he had made a lifelong promise to.

At the wedding banquet, Huo Junyang once again displayed his usual sassy style, and he was indispensable in enlivening the atmosphere.
