Huo Zhixing lowered his head and remained silent.
“You all knew,” Jiang Can’s eyes reddened, “but you kept me in the dark, didn’t you?”
"Wife..."
Huo Zhixing felt a little uneasy.
The two had long ago agreed that no matter what happened, they would not hide anything from each other and would face it together.
But he made the same mistake twice!
“Can Can, listen to me,” he said in a low voice. “I only found out about this recently… It’s a bit complicated, but you have to believe me, I didn’t mean to hide it.”
"This is something I can't say myself; your parents have to tell you directly... Do you understand?"
Jiang Can took a few deep breaths.
Yes, how can you blame him? He must be in a difficult position too.
If it were her, she might have kept it a secret too. Having never received a father's love for over twenty years, and then suddenly having a father appear out of nowhere, those around her would naturally keep it a secret until the truth comes out.
Such a big matter, unless the person involved says it himself, what does it mean when it comes from someone else?
However……
Jiang Can's tears fell drop by drop onto Huo Zhixing's hand.
Just like when Huo Zhixing hid his identity from her, she understood the reasons and could comprehend them, but she just couldn't quite grasp it.
“Wife…” Huo Zhixing embraced her.
Jiang Can leaned against him, tears streaming down her cheeks, which felt like knives cutting in the cold wind.
Huo Zhixing gently wiped away her tears and whispered, "Wife, shall I take you home?"
Jiang Can didn't answer. He unbuttoned his coat and wrapped the small girl inside.
"It's okay, no matter what happens, I'm here for you."
"Can Can, let's go home!"
Jiang Can nodded with tears in her eyes.
Fortunately, she still had him. Fortunately, he gave her a home, a place to keep warm on cold nights, and a place to live in times of turmoil.
...
As soon as she got home, Huo Zhixing considerately helped her change into slippers and told her to take a hot shower first.
Jiang Can did as instructed and smelled a delicious aroma when she came out. She paused for a moment, only to see Huo Zhixing smiling as he pulled her to the dining table. On the table was a small pot containing freshly cooked tomato and noodle soup.
Jiang Can burst out laughing.
This is Huo Zhixing's culinary skill ceiling; it can be considered his signature move.
"Don't laugh! Come on, eat more!"
Huo Zhixing served the noodles and mysteriously told her, "This is an improved version; you must try it!"
"What has been improved?"
"I added an egg, didn't you notice?"
Jiang Can looked closely and indeed, there were egg drop soup floating in the soup.
But such a big pot of noodles only has one egg added...
She laughed even harder. It seems that cooking skills really do require talent; some people are just not cut out for the kitchen.
“Wife,” Huo Zhixing looked at her tenderly, “Although it doesn’t look very appealing, it still tastes just like the original.”
Jiang Can said softly and coquettishly, "I'm tired, I don't want to move."
"That's easy, I'll feed you!"
As he spoke, Huo Zhixing picked up a chopstick and gently fed it to her lips.
The tomato noodles were delicious, and Jiang Can's heart was melted by the warm taste.
There's truth to the saying that you should never neglect your stomach when you're feeling down.
"After you finish eating, get a good night's sleep and don't think about anything." Huo Zhixing ruffled her hair, his voice deep. "Leave the rest to your husband."
Jiang Can was taken aback. "What are you going to do?"
Huo Zhixing deliberately said, "That Yin Ruohong went too far and made my wife unhappy, so I sent him back to Southeast Asia!"
"Don't……"
Jiang Can stopped abruptly after saying that word.
Huo Zhixing looked at her and smiled softly.
From childhood to adulthood, Jiang Mingyuan was not even a decoration to her; she longed for her father's love from the bottom of her heart.
But it is precisely because of this intense desire that one resists and fears when suddenly obtaining it, and that one digs out all the grievances suffered over the past twenty-odd years.
That's why she felt unbalanced and thought she wasn't that important to Yin Ruohong. Otherwise, how could a father abandon his children?
Jiang Can's tears were about to well up again, but she took a deep breath and forcefully held them back.
“Honey, it’s okay.” Huo Zhixing gently patted her back. “I know you’ll figure it out someday. Take your time thinking about it, and Chairman Yin will wait patiently… Everything will turn out for the best.”
"I will stay with you until the best outcome comes."
"Can Can," he lowered his voice and solemnly uttered those words, "With me here, don't be afraid of anything."
...
Ye Chen came to Yan Yuan intending to find Huo Zhiyan, but unexpectedly ran into Cheng Xuerou.
Cheng Xuerou was taken aback when she saw him, then ran over enthusiastically and took his arm, "Achen!"
Ye Chen dodged the attack without making a sound, his expression calm.
"Ah Chen, what's wrong?" Cheng Xuerou looked at his expression.
This guy used to act like a loyal backup when he saw her, so why has he suddenly become so unapproachable today?
Cheng Xuerou couldn't believe he had changed so quickly. Since middle school, he had been one of her many suitors, saying he would protect her for a lifetime, hadn't he?
"Ah Chen, have you seen the new videos I filmed?"
Ye Chen was taken aback, then shook his head.
Cheng Xuerou smiled and showed him her phone.
Cheng Xuerou has a place on the rankings of a certain video platform, either dancing hot dances or showing off her singing voice and figure, and each video has tens of thousands of likes.
In short, everything she did had nothing to do with the dream she had told him about.
