Yin Shaoqing constantly challenges Huo Zhixin's sensitive nerves, pushing her to the brink of collapse.
"Shao Qing, I beg you..." Huo Zhixin looked at him with tears in her eyes, "Please let me go. I really can't do this... I have no grudge against the people in the bar, why would I use drugs to harm them?"
"Shao Qing, let me go. I won't tell anyone about this, okay? Please let me go... I'll give you money, lots of money, enough for you to leave Yangcheng and find somewhere to live a good life..."
Huo Zhixin was sobbing uncontrollably, and her words were incoherent.
Although that street was a main road, there weren't many pedestrians.
Even though there were a few passersby, when Huo Zhixin wanted to ask for help, Yin Shaoqing suddenly grabbed her waist, pulled her into his arms, adjusted his baseball cap, and gave the passersby an apologetic smile.
The more Huo Zhixin struggled, the more ways he could deal with her.
"Sweetie, stop fooling around and come home with me!"
His voice was gentler than the glow of the sunset, and passersby smiled knowingly upon hearing it.
Huo Zhixin screamed at the top of her lungs, "Help! Help me!"
"How long are you going to keep making a scene? I've already promised to buy you that bag you've been eyeing!"
"Let me go—"
But passersby just assumed it was a young couple having a tiff.
Nobody wants to meddle in the affairs of a married couple.
Huo Zhixin burst into tears in despair, broke free from Yin Shaoqing, and collapsed to the ground.
Looking down at her, Yin Shaoqing felt a morbid pleasure welling up inside him.
“If you don’t want to leave the drugs in the bar, then do something else for me.”
Huo Zhixin looked at him with teary eyes.
Yin Shaoqing sneered, "Help me destroy Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing!"
...
Upon hearing that Jiang Can was pregnant, Yin Ruohong and Yin Wenxi immediately rushed back from Southeast Asia.
We left in the morning and arrived at Xiyuan Garden in the evening.
When Huo Zhixing opened the door and saw his father-in-law and mother-in-law looking travel-worn, he was dumbfounded.
Then look at the chubby orange cat they're holding...
"Meow!"
Fat Orange seemed even rounder, squinting as it greeted him with a mix of wicked charm and disdain. After greeting him, it buried its chubby head in Yin Wenxi's arms.
Huo Zhixing took a deep breath and pressed hard on his throbbing temples.
“I said,” Yin Ruohong frowned, clearly displeased, “you’re not just going to leave the two of us standing here, are you?”
Huo Zhixing was taken aback before realizing he should let them in.
"Heh," Yin Ruohong put on her arrogant little act again, deliberately clearing her throat as she said to Yin Wenxi, "See, I told you we weren't coming, didn't I? It seems like our son-in-law isn't very welcoming!"
"Wenxi, you're just too anxious! Our daughter is someone's young mistress now, and she's pregnant, so she'll definitely be well taken care of. Why did you drag me along to join in the fun..."
"Ha, we still have to stand here and watch them give us the cold shoulder!"
"Okay," Yin Wenxi rolled her eyes at him helplessly, "Then I'll book your plane ticket now, you can go back!"
"..."
Yin Ruohong fell silent.
He was eager to come here, but the treatment he received was not what he had imagined.
Huo Zhixing forced a smile.
However, as soon as the two entered the room, they immediately understood why Huo Zhixing had that expression earlier...
Huo Wenyuan sat on the sofa with a smile on his face, surrounded by servants. Huo Zhanpeng and Wang Meiyun also smiled broadly.
Cen Bo and Fang Han stood behind, while the Huo family's medical team ran in and out busily.
Chefs from various countries also came.
Especially the Japanese chef that Jiang Can chose last time, who was currently busy in the kitchen, looking radiant.
This place was practically a small banquet, but Xiyuan Garden wasn't very big, and everyone crowded in, making it packed to the brim.
Yin Ruohong and Yin Wenxi exchanged a glance and couldn't help but laugh.
Everyone fawned over Jiang Can like a star surrounded by the moon.
Everyone was overjoyed, their smiles as bright as flowers.
Huo Zhixing, however, seemed to be living in another world.
He glanced at his watch idly, wondering why these people hadn't left yet. He and his young wife were hoping for some alone time together...
"Meow!" The chubby orange cat ran to his feet and rubbed against him.
Is this a gesture of sympathy for him?
Does even a cat have the right to sympathize with him?
Huo Zhixing felt a lump in his throat and glared at the cat. The chubby orange cat stared at him blankly, tilting its little head. This guy was acting a bit strange today!
He was clearly hungry and wanted to ask him for some canned fish, so why was he being so rude?
Fat Orange waddled off to the yard to find Aunt Cen, and Huo Zhixing's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
"Zhixing, did you hear that?" Suddenly a voice pulled Huo Zhixing back to reality.
"Huh?" He looked confused. "What did you hear?"
Huo Wenyuan's face immediately darkened, and he said sternly, "Have you been using your brain lately? Didn't you hear a single word the doctor said?"
"I……"
"I really don't feel comfortable leaving Cancan and my great-grandson in your care!"
Huo Zhixing was speechless.
Jiang Can smiled gently, got up and came to Huo Zhixing's side, leaning against him like a little bird.
"Grandpa, you mustn't say that about my husband!" Jiang Can said softly. "Zhixing has taken such good care of me; he thinks of everything for me!"
"Oh, really?" Huo Wenyuan was delighted. "Alright then, I won't talk about him!"
Huo Zhixing: "..." It's really rare to see an old man who is so obedient.
"Zhixing, now that Cancan is pregnant, we can't let her overwork herself." Huo Wenyuan smiled. "From now on, you'll have to help her with more things, whether it's company matters or housework, understand?"
Huo Zhixing paused, interpreting this meaning as—
From now on, whether it's at the company or at home, you'll be in charge of the money, understand?
Huo Zhixing smiled slightly, thinking, "Why did this happiness have to come so suddenly?"
