Huo Wenyuan paused, giving him a cold glance.
"What, do you think I'd just stand by and watch Huo Zhiyan drag the entire Huo family down with him?"
Huo Zhanhe was stunned.
"Compared to stealing, putting righteousness before family seems more noble!"
Huo Wenyuan said those words and then forcefully shoved Huo Zhanhe away.
Before Huo Zhanhe could react, his mind went blank, and he saw the old man walk out with the wind at his feet.
...
After experiencing a cold snap, the central city welcomed a rare period of good winter weather.
The smog dissipated, the sky returned to its azure color, and an unexpected light snowfall draped the city in a beautiful layer of silver frost, filling the air with a fresh scent.
Jiang Can swept all the snow in the yard together and built a cute little snowman.
The moment they finished, Huo Zhixing hugged her from behind, warming her frostbitten little hands in his own.
"How is it? Pretty, right?" Jiang Can said proudly.
"Of course it looks good." Huo Zhixing smiled gently.
It's so good now. The storm has passed, the sky is clear and blue, the winter sun is warm, and he and his little woman are building a snowman and playing together. Time seems to have etched the word "peace and tranquility" into this little courtyard.
"Hmm... if Fatty Orange were here," Jiang Can murmured wistfully. "It would definitely love this snowman, and with its orange fur, it would look so dashing and beautiful walking in the snow!"
"Hmm?" Huo Zhixing raised an eyebrow.
In such a wonderful time for the two of them, she was actually thinking about a cat?
It seems that simply sending Fatty Orange to Yoon Moon-hee's place isn't enough; we need to go further away...
For example, if he gives it to Fang Hanyang, then those two will keep each other in check and won't have to appear in front of him!
Huo Zhixing was having a wonderful dream and grinned broadly.
"Honey, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Jiang Can curiously tilted her head to look at him.
Huo Zhixing snapped out of his daze and replied casually, "Oh, I... I was thinking about Fatty Orange too."
"Really?" Jiang Can's eyes lit up. "Then shall we bring it back?"
Huo Zhixing blurted out, "Oh no!"
Jiang Can was taken aback, her expression showing some surprise.
"Wife, what I mean is..." Huo Zhixing began to mobilize all his brain cells, "Now that Dad and Mom have reconciled, isn't Fatty Orange stuck in the middle... kind of a nuisance?"
“I haven’t heard of that,” Jiang Can replied seriously. “My mom loves it, and my dad loves it too. He even brought the Siamese cat over, and they play with the fat orange cat every day.”
Huo Zhixing cupped her small face in his hands, gently rubbing it, his gaze tender and doting.
The grudges had been cleared up, and she was finally willing to call Yin Ruohong "Dad".
He still remembered Yin Ruohong's expression when he heard "Dad." It was as if he had been hit by a huge pie falling from the sky. His eyebrows were raised high, his eyes were wide open, and even the roots of his ears were twitching wildly.
The more powerful a man is outside, the more useless he becomes at home—Huo Zhixing thought about it and realized that this rule actually applied to everyone around him, which was incredible.
As for Jiang Can changing her name back to "Yin Can", that has been done quickly.
However, Jiang Can had gotten used to the name that had been with her for over twenty years. Outsiders recognized her as the Third Young Mistress, and everyone usually called her Can Can. So, her surname didn't seem so important.
As long as the name on the ID card is "尹", it's fine.
"Oh, right, honey," Huo Zhixing chuckled, "Grandpa is hosting a family dinner this weekend and wants us to come along."
"Hmm." Jiang Can nodded. "I heard from my mother that quite a few people were invited."
"Yes, in addition to the entire family, there will also be members from three other major families who are on good terms with us. Ye Chen and Shen Xiao will also be attending; they are very important guests."
“Of course,” Huo Zhixing lowered his head, gently rubbing his nose against hers, “the main purpose of this family dinner is to celebrate for Chairman Yin and Mrs. Yin!”
...
Huo's Manor was bustling with guests on the weekend.
Although Huo Wenyuan is old-fashioned, he made an exception this time to cater to the tastes of young people and made the family banquet very fashionable.
Ye Chen made a great contribution to this matter, was a VIP of the Huo family, and was also a famous lawyer in Yangcheng, a single and eligible bachelor, which attracted a lot of attention.
Huo Zhixing's cousins, who had come from afar, surrounded him, and Ye Chen didn't even have a chance to eat anything.
Shen Xiao stayed with Huo Zhixin the whole time, while the little princess kept pouting.
He claimed to be keeping her company, but in reality, he would be testing her advanced mathematics while she ate, even posing a question about how to divide a piece of cake!
Bai Jingyuan entered the venue with Yao Wanyin, instantly becoming the focus of everyone's attention. There had been rumors in the circle that the Bai and Yao families were going to get married, and Bai's parents had always been open-minded and their attitude was becoming increasingly clear. Now it seemed that the matter was a done deal.
With two powerful families joining forces, and Bai Jingyuan and Yao Wanyin being a perfect couple, it seemed like a perfect marriage.
The most interesting thing is that Fu Xiuyu and Wang Meiyun attended together.
Caught between his ex and current girlfriend, Huo Zhanpeng looked utterly hopeless and stood there silently, not uttering a single word.
When Fu Xiuyu and Wang Meiyun saw him like that, they rolled their eyes at him, exchanged a smile across Huo Zhanpeng, and greeted him warmly.
"Meiyun!"
"Sister Yu! Oh my, you look so beautiful today!"
"How can anyone compare to you? You look at least ten years younger!"
"By the way, I recently saw some expert research that revealed a secret to longevity..."
"What?"
"To be beautiful and live a long life, you must stay away from men!"
The two of them burst into hearty laughter: "Hahahaha!"
Huo Zhanpeng was sweating profusely. Being sandwiched between the two of them was too oppressive, so he had no choice but to sheepishly take his plate and hide to the side to eat.
Jiang Can, arm in arm with Huo Zhixing, weaved through the crowd.
As the third young mistress of the Huo family, she had to attend social events and drank a couple of glasses, becoming somewhat unable to hold her liquor. Huo Zhixing helped her back to the side, while Huo Wenyuan walked over from a short distance away, looking at the two of them with concern.
"Is Can Can alright?"
"It's alright," Jiang Can smiled. "Grandpa, don't worry, this little bit of wine is no problem for me!"
"Girls should drink less!" Huo Wenyuan said with loving eyes. "Grandpa knows you're happy today. I'll have to go have a couple of drinks with Chairman Yin later!"
When Chairman Yin was mentioned, Huo Zhixing frowned slightly.
He thought he just overheard Yin Ruohong and Yin Wenxi whispering something about Southeast Asia or something like that...
He was a little worried and looked at Jiang Can, asking, "Honey, has Dad talked to you about... what we're going to do in the future?"
"Later?" Jiang Can blinked, teasing him deliberately. "Oh, I think we talked about that!"
Huo Zhixing became nervous.
Jiang Can chuckled, "Dad said that once things are settled here, he'll take us back to Southeast Asia!"
"What?" Huo Zhixing almost exclaimed.
What is that old man thinking?! Did he even get permission to take his wife back to Southeast Asia?
