Honestly, why are you being so fierce again?
Jiang Can looked at his face, which was so black it looked like it could squeeze ink out of it, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint to herself.
This man used to have a pretty good temper, but lately he's become increasingly unpredictable, often yelling and glaring at her for no reason...
Jiang Can pursed her lips, her soft, boneless body gently pressed against him, and a faint, sweet fragrance wafted into his nose.
Huo Zhixing's will gradually crumbled, and he lost all his temper.
She said softly, "Nie Xin did ask me about my relationship with you, because it was Manager Hao who brought me in, and Manager Hao is one of your people. Before I went in, he even talked about Huo's investment in a movie."
Huo Zhixing gave a muffled "hmm".
He's the one who made Manager Hao say that.
Firstly, saying this would elevate Jiang Can's status and prevent the people in the studio from looking down on her.
Secondly, it also implies his relationship with Jiang Can.
Having reached this level of success, Nie Xin is a shrewd and calculating person, so she naturally understands the implications. That's why the interviewer subtly inquired about her situation.
But what did this young woman say?
"When he asked me, I didn't say anything..." Jiang Can smiled sheepishly, then defended herself, "Although I didn't admit it, I didn't deny it either!"
"Oh," Huo Zhixing looked at her thoughtfully, "neither admitted nor denied?"
"Mmm!" Jiang Can nodded vigorously. "I'll leave him room to imagine for himself!"
"you……"
Huo Zhixing's eyes widened again.
Such a high-sounding excuse! Leave room for imagination?
Seeing that things were not going well, Jiang Can immediately acted coquettishly, clinging to his arm and leaning close to him, softly apologizing, "Okay, okay, I'm sorry..."
"I admit I'm a little vain. I don't want people to think I only got the interview with Nie Xin because of your connections."
She lowered her head, her eyelids drooping, looking somewhat timid. From this angle, her delicate little face appeared exceptionally charming and beautiful.
And then there's her soft, sweet voice...
Huo Zhixing's heart had already melted.
Then a smile finally appeared on his usually aloof face, and he gently stroked her hair with his large hand.
"However, I think letting Nie Xin know too much would be bad for you, so I'm not telling you!"
Huo Zhixing paused, the corners of his mouth that had just turned up fell back down, and he frowned slightly. "What do you mean?"
Jiang Can revealed a sly and playful look, and said softly, "You keep a low profile in Yangcheng, and you're never seen in the media. What if Nie Xin seizes this opportunity to get close to you? Wouldn't you be unable to keep a low profile even if you wanted to?"
"..." Huo Zhixing was unable to refute it.
After a while, he squinted at her, a half-smile on his face.
"So, you're saying this is for my own good?"
"Mmm-hmm!" Jiang Can nodded repeatedly.
“But I still feel uncomfortable when I’m not recognized!” The man put on a stern face again.
Jiang Can asked cautiously, observing his expression, "Then what would make you comfortable?"
That soft, gentle question, coupled with those clear, innocent eyes, stirred up Huo Zhixing's tender feelings once more...
What makes me comfortable?
Of course, it's only comfortable when it's...saucy and juicy...
Huo Zhixing smiled slightly, a hint of tenderness flashing in his deep eyes. He looked at her quietly for a while, then suppressed his little thoughts.
He coughed twice and said in a low voice, "Buy me something."
Jiang Can nodded and smiled, "Okay!" Anyway, she had promised to buy him a pair of leather shoes.
"I'll buy the leather shoes later," he said with a mischievous grin. "I saw a tie I liked at DL."
"Huh?" Jiang Can felt like she'd been hit on the head.
DL stands for Dreamland, the premier shopping center in Central City.
Not only is it magnificent and opulent, with a dreamlike decor, but the prices of the items inside are even more dreamlike.
In short, Jiang Can passed by there several times, but never had the courage to go in and take a look.
"What's wrong?" Huo Zhixing raised an eyebrow. "You said you'd support me for life, but now you won't even buy me a tie?"
"You..." How could you even say that!
Jiang Can bit her lip. There was no way around it; she had to fill the hole she had dug herself, even if she had to kneel down.
But does this man really have X-ray vision? How come he can always pinpoint when she'll be getting paid?
She took out her salary card with a forced smile, barely even warming the numbers inside before...
"Hmm, that's more like it." Huo Zhixing reached out to take it.
Jiang Can suddenly tightened her grip on the thin salary card, unwilling to let go.
Huo Zhixing was about to lose his composure and, before he could burst out laughing, he forcefully snatched the salary card away!
"Give it to me!" He glanced at her smugly, grinning smugly. "You promised to take care of me!"
"Huo Zhixing, can't you be reasonable?!" Jiang Can complained, "You're so rich, yet I still have to support you!"
"Hiss..." Huo Zhixing suddenly clutched his stomach, bent over, and looked pained.
Jiang Can was taken aback and quickly asked him, "What's wrong?"
"Didn't I tell you I have a stomach problem?"
"No……"
"It hurts a little now."
His stomach hurt, and Jiang Canxin felt pain too.
"How are you feeling?" she asked anxiously, clinging to his arm. "I'll call Fang Han and have him take you to the hospital!"
"No need, I've already been to the hospital."
What did the doctor say?
"The doctor said I need to take care of my stomach." He looked at her and gave a barely perceptible smile.
Jiang Can nodded seriously; in this situation, the patient needed to be cared for.
"However, there is a way to cure it."
