"Okay, stop fooling around!"
Jiang Can softly refused, gently clinging to him with her small hand.
Huo Zhixing smiled and gave her a deep kiss on the neck, forcefully suppressing the fire that had suddenly surged within him.
He knew she was a conservative woman who wasn't comfortable being outside the bedroom.
It seems I'll have to train him properly from now on...
"Honey, what are you staring at?"
Huo Zhixing snapped out of his reverie, licked his dry lips, and gave her a soft smile.
"Are you feeling much better now?"
"Um!"
"Wife," he said in a low voice, "what are your thoughts on the shares?"
She bit her lip, unsure how to tell him.
"These shares aren't worth much." He stroked her hair. "You can take them if you want them, or not if you don't. There's no need to overthink it."
"This little bit of stock?" Jiang Can burst out laughing. "You talk as if you're rich! You don't even care about 'this little bit of stock'!"
Huo Zhixing chuckled softly but remained silent.
Jiang Can leaned against him, her voice soft and sweet, "Actually, I wasn't after the shares... but rather using this agreement to return the shares to test him."
"Testing?"
"Don't you think Dad's attitude is strange?" After calling him Dad for over twenty years, he still can't change his way of addressing him.
"He clearly knew all along that I wasn't his daughter, yet he still gave me the shares. Why?"
"Furthermore, when I think back on these years, although he has never given me any fatherly love, he has taken care of my school fees, our living expenses, and even Xiao Cheng's share."
“Husband,” she looked up at him, “from a man’s perspective, would you treat a child who is not related to you by blood like this?”
Huo Zhixing's eyes darkened slightly, and after a moment he answered her in a low voice:
"If I love the child's mother very much, I will."
“Ha,” Jiang Can sneered, “Does he really have feelings for my mother? I don’t believe it.”
If you truly have feelings for someone, why would you force them?
How could he be cruel to her, only giving her some money and ignoring everything else?
Therefore, there must be other reasons behind this.
"Alright, stop thinking about it." Huo Zhixing gently patted her back. "Don't ask Mom about this either. We can't control the grudges of the previous generation. If you're still worried, just be more careful around Jiang Mingyuan in the future."
"Mm." Jiang Can smiled gently.
After talking to him, I felt much better.
Looking at her watch, Jiang Can realized it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon. She quickly got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Huo Zhixing turned his gaze to the cabinet in the bedroom.
He quietly went inside and gently opened the cabinet door. He knew that the marriage certificate was in that locked drawer.
But no one knows where Jiang Can put the key.
He looked around, rummaged through the pillow and other drawers, but couldn't find the key. Instead, he discovered a small rosewood box standing quietly in the corner.
Huo Zhixing was stunned.
He stared quietly at the box, and suddenly felt that the pattern on it looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...
"Honey!" Jiang Can's voice came from outside, "Dinner's ready!"
Huo Zhixing hurriedly closed the cabinet door.
Jiang Can made two simple dishes, ate them while staring at her phone, and then laughed.
He asked curiously, "What's making you so happy?"
Jiang Can showed him the bill on her phone.
It turns out the coffee shop has made a lot of money in the past two months.
"Adding our previous savings and the returns from investments..." The young woman's eyes and brows radiated excitement. "Honey, guess how much money we have!"
Huo Zhixing chuckled and shook his head.
Jiang Can whispered a number, then grinned from ear to ear.
"Honey, I can finally buy you a car!"
"What?" Huo Zhixing put down his chopsticks and looked at her with some surprise.
“Buy a car!” Jiang Can repeated. “Didn’t I say a long time ago that I would buy you a car for commuting? It’s just that we didn’t have enough savings at the time.”
Huo Zhixing felt a warmth in his heart.
It seems that while she was still at that company, she was promoted to sales manager, and her salary doubled as a result.
Then she said that she would buy him a big house on a mortgage and a car so that it would be convenient for him to go out.
She never seemed to care about spending money on him...
Huo Zhixing gently held her small hand and looked at her intently.
"Don't buy it for me, save the money for Mom and Xiaocheng."
“I’ve set aside enough money for their living expenses!” Jiang Can smiled. “Although taking care of Mom and my brother is important, I can’t neglect my husband! I promised to buy you a car, and I’m definitely going to buy it for you.”
"Then... you said before that you would support me for the rest of my life, right?" Huo Zhixing's voice was hoarse.
Jiang Can nodded very seriously.
We promised each other a lifetime, not a single day, hour, minute, or second could be missed.
"Honey, it's settled then." She put some food in his bowl. "We'll go look at cars this weekend! Oh, and I'm going to bring Yuqing along. She worked at a car dealership in college and knows a lot about cars!"
Huo Zhixing couldn't refuse her, so he went to the 4S store with her over the weekend.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yuqing brought Lu Lishan along as well.
The 4S store manager was so shocked when he saw Lu Lishan that his eyes widened. He had been acting arrogantly just a moment ago, but now he was acting like a lackey, grinning from ear to ear.
"Brother Shan! Ha... Brother Shan, what brings you here today? You didn't even give me a heads-up beforehand, I would have rolled out a red carpet for you!"
"Is that the legendary Brother Shan?" several salespeople whispered among themselves. "He definitely has the aura of a mafia boss..."
"No wonder the manager treated him like he was royalty."
"But why would Brother Shan come here to buy a car? Could it be that the police are watching him?"
"Shh..."
Lu Lishan helplessly pressed down on the brim of his hat.
He hadn't planned to come today. The most expensive car in this dealership is under 500,000 yuan; buying a car here is really...
He looked utterly hopeless.
Jiang Can and Lin Yuqing were enthusiastically picking out cars when Lu Lishan leaned over to Huo Zhixing and chuckled twice, "Third Master Huo, is this your first time visiting a 4S store like this?"
Huo Zhixing didn't want to talk to him because of his mischievous expression.
"Hey, Third Master," Lu Lishan continued to laugh, "the most expensive car here isn't even worth as much as one of your wheels, is it?"
"So... Jiang Can bought you a car here, with a budget of no more than 100,000. Are you used to driving it?"
Huo Zhixing scoffed and patted him on the shoulder.
"You don't even have enough money to buy a pack of cigarettes, and you're talking to me about buying a car?"
Lu Lishan's expression changed, "You..."
“Speaking of this, I’m quite annoyed too,” Huo Zhixing said, feigning concern. “My wife is always thinking about buying me things and spending money on me, afraid of mistreating me.”
"Lu Lishan, what do you suggest we do? I'm so annoyed!"
Lu Lishan: "..." Damn it!
Huo Zhixing could barely contain himself and turned to walk towards Jiang Can.
“Honey, you’ve come at the perfect time!” Jiang Can pointed to one of the cars. “Yuqing and I have discussed it, and this one has the best value for money, and it’s within our budget!”
"Take a look and see if you like it?"
