When Huo Zhixing got home that day, he saw Jiang Can busy in the kitchen.
He worked intensely all day, barely managing a quick lunch before rushing to process several important documents. It wasn't until he finished everything in the afternoon that he felt a burning, empty stomach.
She used to say she had a stomach problem in order to get Jiang Can's attention.
I never expected... I was right!
The moment Huo Zhixing stepped into the house, he smelled the aroma of food filling the room, and his stomach immediately started rumbling with hunger.
Then he saw the little woman busily washing her hands and cooking for him.
He smiled with even greater satisfaction.
These days, full of life and warmth, were what he cherished most during his time in Jiangzhou.
Huo Zhixing put down what he was holding, took off his coat, and was about to walk towards the kitchen when Jiang Can brought out the braised fish.
"You're back!" The young woman greeted her with a bright and cheerful expression.
Huo Zhixing was taken aback.
He wondered if it was just his intuition, but he felt that her smile was a little strange today.
"I've given Aunt Cen a day off." Jiang Can brought out the other dishes one by one, then the soup, and served the rice. Her bright, dark eyes held a hint of a smile. "I cooked tonight's meal, all your favorites!"
Huo Zhixing smiled and sat down at the table.
Jiang Can gave him rice and also ladled a bowl of soup in front of him. It was yam soup, the kind of yam that he used to dislike but started to like after meeting Jiang Can.
She also made a garlic lobster, and the braised fish was also delicious and appetizing.
It feels like it's been a long time since I've had such a pleasant day.
Huo Zhixing smiled and naturally picked up the bowl, holding it out to her, waiting for her to pick up the fish eyes for him.
She said she would give the fish eyes to the person she loves most.
However, Jiang Can didn't make any move. He looked up and suddenly met her ambiguous smile...
Huo Zhixing's heart tightened, and he silently pulled his rice bowl back.
"Eat quickly," Jiang Can said gently, "It won't be good if it gets cold."
"Oh." He still felt the atmosphere was a bit strange today. He was about to ask, "Wife, why aren't you putting food on my plate?" but Jiang Can interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
"By the way, Zhixing, do you remember my colleague from when I was in Jiangzhou?"
"Colleague?" Huo Zhixing's brain, which had already finished work, started working at high speed again.
"Yes, it's An'an! You should have met her before."
"Oh, I've met her before!" he smiled. "What happened to her?"
Jiang Can said calmly, "It's nothing, I'm getting married soon."
"Really? Then congratulations to her." Huo Zhixing remembered that Jiang Can was almost framed by that supervisor, Fang Jinyang, and it was An'an who sent him a message in time.
She was a sensible and clever little girl.
Huo Zhixing smiled and was about to bring the food to his mouth when he suddenly heard Jiang Can sigh softly.
"well……"
The sound wasn't loud, but it made Huo Zhixing tense up.
He hurriedly put down his chopsticks and looked at Jiang Can anxiously, "...Can Can, what happened?"
"It's nothing," Jiang Can said calmly. "I just feel it's a pity about An An."
"pity?"
"Yeah, she's getting married soon, but just these past few days, she found out that her boyfriend still has a crush on someone else, and he's been keeping it a secret from her!"
Huo Zhixing was a little confused.
Jiang Can smiled slightly, her doe eyes mischievous and playful.
"Zhixing, as a man, what's your opinion on this?"
"I……"
Huo Zhixing licked his lips.
This is a life-or-death question, isn't it?
His eyes were fixed, and he mentally processed Jiang Can's words, recalling them word by word, quickly grasping the key points—
White moonlight?
Then he fell into a new round of confusion.
Why is she asking this out of the blue? He doesn't have a white moonlight!
But today's trap was clearly something she had planned...
Huo Zhixing took a deep breath. There's no smoke without fire in this kind of thing; she must have heard someone talking nonsense in front of her!
Therefore, the most urgent task is to first select himself. The selection process should not be too deliberate; it should be gradual. He needs to let her know that he can withstand her tests...
Then we'll find out who's been gossiping and subject them to the ten most brutal tortures on Mount Lu!
"What are you doing?" Jiang Can waved her small hand in front of his eyes. "I'm asking you a question, why are you spacing out? Now you don't even want to talk to me?"
"Of course not!" Huo Zhixing suddenly raised his voice.
Jiang Can was startled and stared at him blankly.
Huo Zhixing quickly grasped her small watch loyally, "Can Can, I don't think there's anything to consider about this."
"Um?"
"It's all her boyfriend's fault!"
Huo Zhixing spoke each word with force: "An'an is going to marry him, so he shouldn't hide anything from her! The most important thing between husband and wife is mutual trust, so that they can stay together until old age."
"And what makes him worthy of having a 'white moonlight'? He doesn't deserve it!"
"Isn't having your own wife enough? Why are you still entangled with your white moonlight!"
"Outrageous! Shameless!"
Jiang Can opened her eyes wide and looked at the man with a righteous and serious expression. Suddenly, she felt a warmth in her heart and wanted to laugh.
She only wanted to test him out, she didn't expect him to get so worked up!
"Zhixing, I..."
"Wife," Huo Zhixing continued harshly, "I think a man like that doesn't deserve to live!"
When he got excited, he used his chopsticks to pluck out the fish's eyes and threw them hard onto the rice.
Jiang Can almost couldn't hold back anymore.
She pressed her lips tightly together, feeling not only smug but also warm inside.
