Huo Zhixing was taken aback and turned to look at her.
The young woman's hair was slightly messy, and her just-woke-up appearance gave her a charmingly naive look, making her extremely cute.
If it weren't for the huge amount of official business Huo had to handle, he would have been tempted to act impulsively again...
"Are you sure you want to bring me food?"
Jiang Can didn't understand the meaning behind his words and nodded seriously.
The man's lips curled into a roguish smile.
“Okay,” he said in a low voice, “I’ll wait for you at noon.”
When lunchtime came, I didn't know whether to eat lunch first or eat her first...
As soon as Huo Zhixing left, Jiang Can started busying herself in the kitchen.
After cleaning inside and out, Aunt Cen was suddenly attracted by a fragrant aroma. When she went over to take a look, she saw that Jiang Can had already prepared the food and soup and was about to put them into a thermal container.
"Miss Jiang, what are you making?" Aunt Cen asked curiously. "It smells so appetizing, it must taste delicious!"
Jiang Can smiled and casually picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed it on a plate, handing it to her.
Aunt Cen was hesitant to accept it at first, but after repeated requests, she took a bite. It was perfectly sweet and sour, not greasy or fatty, and cooked just right.
Aunt Cen smiled and exclaimed, "I've lived this long, and my cooking skills are still not as good as yours!"
"I'll cook for you often from now on!"
"That won't do!" Aunt Cen exclaimed in alarm. "I'm already so grateful that the young master asked me to stay and take care of you. How could I let you cook for me! I should be the one serving you..."
“Aunt Cen.” Jiang Can looked at her quietly.
Seeing her reminds me of my own mother. An elderly woman who has been abused and has spent half her life in loneliness and despair is already pitiful enough; how could we let her suffer a miserable old age as well?
“You don’t need to stand on ceremony with me,” Jiang Can said, holding her hand. “Our family doesn’t have that many rules. Besides, you are an elder, and Uncle Cen watched Zhixing grow up. We should respect you.”
“Miss Jiang…” Aunt Cen’s voice was choked with emotion.
I never imagined that after spending half my life calculating my fortune, I would meet such a wonderful family.
Since that's the case, she should be even more devoted to taking good care of this young couple from now on...
"By the way," Aunt Cen wiped her moist eyes, carefully examined her, and said with a soft laugh, "Miss Jiang, you really are destined to be an empress, I'm not lying to you!"
Jiang Can smiled and continued packing lunch.
"It's true!" Aunt Cen said seriously. "You can't disbelieve me! Over the years, although I've mostly been swindling money in this line of work, I've also learned a little bit from those who are truly skilled in face reading..."
"Miss Jiang, your face truly indicates great wealth and nobility... You could easily be mistaken for a noblewoman from a prestigious family!"
“Yes, you don’t have the destiny of an empress!” Aunt Cen frowned, thinking hard. “An empress… relies on her husband, but with your destiny and appearance… you rely on yourself, on your maternal family…”
"Alright!" Jiang Can laughed, "Aunt Cen, you're making things more and more mysterious!"
She didn't care whether she was destined to be an empress or a noblewoman.
She only cared about Huo Zhixing, and only cared about whether she was destined to be with him forever.
"Aunt Cen, I'm going to his company now. If you're done with your work, feel free to rest at home or wander around!" Jiang Can smiled sweetly. "I'm so sorry, I only cooked for him. Can you take care of your own lunch?"
"Sure, sure!" Aunt Cen readily agreed. "But I can't go out and wander around. I have to stay and watch the house! Miss Jiang, you don't know, but a few days ago I noticed someone lurking around our house!"
"Really?" Jiang Can was taken aback.
When Aunt Cen mentioned this, she remembered that one night she had inadvertently seen a dark figure flash past from the garden.
She was startled at the time, but then wondered if she was seeing things, so she didn't pursue the matter further.
However, this is Xiyuan, the territory of the Bai family. The relationship between the Bai family and the Huo family is well known. Who would dare to do such a thing?
"Okay, I understand." Jiang Can bit her lip. "Aunt Cen, then please keep a close eye on things. If anyone causes trouble, please don't confront them directly. Try to contact the security department or call the police, okay?"
"Don't worry, Miss Jiang! I'm an old hand at this, I have that much common sense."
Jiang Can nodded and immediately went out.
Huo Zhixing gave her a special access card that allowed her to go to any room in the building without making an appointment at the front desk.
She used the card to get into the private elevator and went straight to the top floor.
Just as I was about to enter his office, I suddenly heard some noises inside.
"...That's about all the details. Also, take a look at these reports."
Jiang Can was stunned.
The voice sounds familiar, like... that haughty Miss Yao.
So Yao Manning was in his office?
No wonder, I sent him several messages on the way here, and he didn't reply to any of them.
“Zhixing,” Yao Manning’s voice weakened, “I’ve also prepared everything for the signing ceremony with France this week.”
Huo Zhixing did not answer.
“Everything I did was for you,” she said, sounding aggrieved. “Now that we can work together, I cherish this opportunity even more… Zhixing, do you really want me to tear my heart out and show it to you?”
"Okay, as long as you nod, I'll cut my heart out and give it to you!"
nausea!
Jiang Can took a deep breath. She had absolute faith in her husband's character, but Huo Zhixing's indifference to outsiders did not mean that outsiders did not covet him!
She gritted her teeth, her small hand gripping the insulated box suddenly tightened, her knuckles turning white.
