I want our time together to last a little longer...
Jiang Can's face flushed slightly; she remembered saying those words to him before.
Huo Zhixing looked at her quietly, the urge to have her again surged through his body like a little beast.
He smiled and used his large hand to turn her bare shoulder...
In the early morning, Huo Zhixing slowly woke up and saw that Jiang Can was still asleep. He gently got up and went to the kitchen to take out the soup that Aunt Cen had prepared in advance and warmed it up.
Aunt Cen has been preparing different nourishing dishes for her every day, giving her soup several times a day.
But no matter how many times I patch it up, it still seems so fragile.
Huo Zhixing chuckled, and just as he entered the kitchen, he heard a kitten meowing.
The kitchen window faces the yard, and a chubby orange cat jumped onto the windowsill, stretching lazily in the sunlight.
This chubby orange cat is a regular at Xi Garden.
When I first saw it, it was a skinny and pitiful stray cat, still nursing, and its survival was in question.
Later, Jiang Can took good care of it and even built a nest for it in the yard. The fat orange cat seemed to understand human nature and ate more and more every day, repaying Jiang Can with its gradually growing stronger body.
Sometimes, as soon as Jiang Can goes out, it will wag its tail and hop over, rubbing its chubby body against her feet.
Huo Zhixing had never been interested in these furry little animals, but because Jiang Can liked them, he let the chubby orange cat wander around his neighborhood.
"Hey, you're here again?" He opened the window and, for the first time ever, greeted it.
Upon seeing him, Fat Orange stopped stretching and put on a haughty expression, squinting its eyes as it hid to the side.
Huo Zhixing scoffed and rolled his eyes at it.
Ignore him, that's it!
He was about to leave with the soup when Fat Orange's chubby paws tentatively reached out from the window, as if wanting to come in, but upon seeing Huo Zhixing, it changed its mind...
Huo Zhixing knew it was hungry.
However, there wasn't much good food in the kitchen, so he ladled out a bowl of soup and placed it on the windowsill.
Normally, he would absolutely refuse to take care of him.
Who told him to be in such a good mood today...
Huo Zhixing smiled and was about to turn around when he saw Fatty Orange sniff the bowl of soup, then turn around and jump off the windowsill.
He was taken aback.
What's going on?
This chubby orange cat usually eats a lot, but it's acting all reserved today?
Huo Zhixing's smile gradually faded, and a hint of doubt furrowed between his brows. He looked down at the soup in his hand, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
"Knowledge and action?"
Jiang Can's lazy voice came from behind, "What are you doing standing there in the kitchen like an idiot?"
Huo Zhixing turned around and saw her leaning softly against the kitchen doorway, her hair slightly disheveled, her eyes still sleepy, the blush on her cheeks not yet gone, her pajamas loosely draped over her body, revealing a large expanse of fair skin on her neck.
A thought struck him, and he slowly walked over and gently kissed her forehead.
Jiang Can saw the soup in his hand and laughed, "You're not planning to make me breakfast, are you?"
"Although my cooking skills aren't very good..." Huo Zhixing leaned down, his nose brushing against hers, and said in a low, husky voice, "I think I can still feed you!"
"No!" Jiang Can looked at him mischievously, her slender fingertips poking his heart repeatedly. "I can't say I'm impressed with Third Master Huo's cooking. I'm afraid I'll get diarrhea! I still have to go to work today..."
"Oh," Huo Zhixing said deliberately, "Then I'll definitely make you breakfast so you can't work properly, and then my mom will get angry and fire you, so you can stay home every day!"
"Huo Zhixing!"
Jiang Can pretended to hit him, but he gently gripped her wrist and held it firmly.
Then he pulled her into his arms and began to grope her with his large hands.
"Stop it, it itches!"
Beg me!
"Please..."
"That's so insincere!"
Jiang Can had no choice but to reach out her small hand to hook around his neck and give him a deep kiss on the lips.
Although not entirely satisfied, Huo Zhixing still smiled and let her go.
“You don’t need to make breakfast,” Jiang Can said softly. “Aunt Cen should be out buying groceries by now and will be back soon! She’s quick and efficient and can prepare breakfast in no time.”
"Oh, right, Aunt Cen said I have to drink this soup before breakfast!"
As he spoke, Jiang Can reached out to take it.
But a thought flashed through Huo Zhixing's mind in an instant, and he abruptly put the soup aside.
Jiang Can froze, staring blankly at him, "What...is wrong?"
"Oh, it's nothing." He snapped out of his reverie. "The soup is a bit cold, don't drink it."
"Hasn't Aunt Cen been keeping it warm all along?"
“Can Can,” Huo Zhixing paused for a moment, “let’s not drink these for now. Also, Aunt Cen is getting old, and she has to do housework and cook. She’s too tired.”
Jiang Can blinked.
His serious demeanor puzzled her.
"If I eat at home in the future, I'll have the hotel staff deliver the food."
Jiang Can was taken aback, wanting to ask him something, but unable to bring herself to do so.
Huo Zhixing had her change her clothes and then took her to Minghuang Family House for breakfast.
He knew his paranoia might be too severe.
What does it mean that an orange cat won't drink that bowl of soup?
Moreover, up to now, he has witnessed Aunt Cen's loyalty to Jiang Can and her protection of both of them.
He didn't want to think about the worst...
But in this kind of situation, he would rather kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free!
"Zhixing, what's wrong?"
He looked up and saw Jiang Can staring at him blankly.
"You don't look well, are you feeling unwell?"
Huo Zhixing chuckled and shook his head.
"You've been acting strange since this morning," Jiang Can muttered softly, then smiled at him and pinched his cheek with her small hand. "Are you unhappy because I'm going to work later?"
Huo Zhixing took her hand and pressed her palm against his face.
He certainly didn't want her to go to work if possible.
Fu Xiuyu is a notorious and wicked capitalist who treats women like men and men like animals... So why should Jiang Can suffer that kind of torment? She'd be better off staying home and waiting for him to come back, and then...
Huo Zhixing suddenly felt the small hand being pulled away. When he came to his senses, he saw that Jiang Can had already stood up.
"I need to get to work right away!" She smiled. "Aren't you going to the company today?"
"I'm being lazy today, I don't want to go." He got up and walked in front of her, wrapping his large arm around her waist.
"Then you stay home and wait for me!"
"No way!" he said immediately.
Then he narrowed his eyes and a wicked smile appeared on his lips.
"Can Can, how about I... go to work with you?"
"Huh?" Jiang Can exclaimed in surprise, "Why?"
Why? He's the company's second-largest shareholder! His shareholding is only one percentage point less than Fu Xiuyu's!
He went to inspect his own company. What problems could there be?
Now this little woman's eyes are only on Fu Xiuyu, has she forgotten about him?
Jiang Can noticed that Huo Zhixing's expression kept changing and she couldn't understand him, but she didn't want to upset him.
So she smiled, took his hand, and coaxed him like a child.
"Okay, I'll bring you to work today! But you have to behave yourself at the company and not interfere with my work!"
Master Huo raised an eyebrow. "What, do you expect me to pretend I don't know you?"
