How many orders are there?
"This international fashion week is very large, including many top-tier brands, so the bidding is extremely fierce. Winning this order would be like declaring our status in the fashion industry."
"Hmm," Huo Zhixing replied casually, though he had other plans in mind.
Manchester is a city with a thriving textile industry, and the Fu family also has a business related to clothing.
However, the clothing industry is a low-profit, high-volume business. Although you can earn a lot, the workload is also relatively large, and you earn hard-earned money.
He didn't want Jiang Can to work so hard!
Moreover, Fu Xiuyu was very interested in this bidding and made full preparations, but unexpectedly, Sun Meifen snatched the prize in the end.
Fu Xiuyu was angry, but she held back because of Fu Chengwei.
Huo Zhixing narrowed his eyes. When had his mother ever suffered such grievances?
For his wife, for his mother, and even more so for the little bundle of joy in his wife's belly (to let him experience the infighting within the family beforehand so he wouldn't suffer any losses later), he happily made a decision...
"Okay, I understand." He said in a low voice, "Keep an eye on things over there, and let me know if anything happens."
"Yes, young master!"
"And..." Huo Zhixing paused, then growled into the phone, "You should remind Tang Yilan from time to time! Yes, I asked her to spend more time with Cancan, but I didn't let her get that close!"
"Huh?" Fang Han looked completely bewildered.
He was unaware that one segment of the surveillance footage he sent to Huo Zhixing was from an underground parking lot.
Jiang Can linked arms with Tang Yilan, and the two chatted and laughed. Tang Yilan wiped the corner of her mouth, and she rested her head on Tang Yilan's shoulder.
Huo Zhixing watched the video several times, then pursed his lips, full of dissatisfaction.
"Ouch!" Suddenly a cry came from inside the house.
Huo Zhixing was so frightened that he rushed in and saw Jiang Can lying on her side on the yoga mat, trying to get up, but she was too heavy-bellied to move and looked clumsy like a little chubby bear.
He picked her up in a princess carry and gently placed her on the sofa.
"She's pregnant and still doing such dangerous things!"
Jiang Can was stunned. Huo Zhixing's face was frighteningly dark, and his gaze was stern, as if she had committed some terrible mistake.
It's said that pregnant women are all a bit sensitive, but she was an exception.
Even when faced with Huo Zhixing's stern face, she would still chuckle twice, then snuggle up to him and act coquettishly, until he couldn't do anything about it.
"Husband, I didn't mean to..." The voice in his ear was soft and gentle, and the little body in his arms was soft and sweet. The man had already lost all sense of direction.
"The doctor said that doing prenatal yoga can help with childbirth, ensure good health, and reduce suffering during childbirth, so I've been practicing it every day... Of course, I should do what I can and not do such difficult poses!"
Huo Zhixing's heart melted; his dark face had long since turned red. He gently stroked her little nose with his finger and smiled indulgently.
“It’s okay to try this move.” He held her small hand. “You can call me for help. I’ll stay by your side so you can complete the move without any danger.”
"real?"
"certainly."
He gently stroked her hair, his smile incredibly tender. No matter how busy he was, he would never break a promise he made to her.
Jiang Can revealed a pair of adorable dimples as she nestled in his arms.
He took a towel to wipe her sweat, then got up to run a bath, and would help her bathe in a little while.
Jiang Can leaned lazily against the sofa when her phone vibrated. When she saw the name on the screen, her good mood vanished completely.
It's Fu Qingyan again!
Jiang Can hung up immediately, but Fu Qingyan persisted and called again and again!
For the first time in his life, Jiang Can rolled his eyes at the phone, took a deep breath, and swiped the screen to answer.
The moment the call connected, a sickeningly sweet voice greeted me: "Sister-in-law—"
Jiang Can felt a chill run down her spine. Composing herself, she smiled and said, "Oh, Cousin Qingyan, is something the matter?"
"What, can't I call my sister-in-law if there's nothing wrong?" Fu Qingyan laughed heartily. "I've missed you so much these past two days, and I'm also thinking about my little nephew! If you're free, how about we go out for dinner tomorrow?"
"Sorry, I'm busy."
"Sister-in-law,...you don't want to eat with me?"
"Yes, I don't want to!" Jiang Can roared inwardly.
Who the hell wants to eat with a hypocrite who's always scheming about her man?! How could anyone stomach that?!
"Heh, how could I not want to!" Jiang Can laughed, but even he felt it was fake. "Cousin Qingyan, don't overthink it. Since I came to this family, you're the only one who treats me like a friend. I'm very happy to be with you!"
Fu Qingyan's eyes widened.
What's going on? They've already taken the bait?
Haha, it's no wonder she's been trying so hard to please the main wife all this time, like a concubine paying her respects to her husband morning and evening!
Bah... What concubine! Ha, once Huo Zhixing takes the bait again, even Jiang Can will have to bow down and bend over when he sees her!
"Qingyan, what's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Oh, it's nothing!" Fu Qingyan choked back tears. "Sister-in-law, I... I'm just so touched. You trust me so much, I really..."
"Hey, we're all family, it doesn't make us sound distant!" Jiang Can laughed. "In the future, I'll have to rely on my cousin Qingyan for help in the Fu family!"
"No problem!" Fu Qingyan asked excitedly, her head spinning, "Sister-in-law, has my cousin returned from France? Isn't he home?"
Jiang Can bit her lip, her knuckles turning white as she gripped the phone tightly.
"He's at home!"
"Oh..." Fu Qingyan was a little disappointed.
"What, do you need him for something?" Jiang Can practically choked out those words.
"Oh, it's nothing! Is my cousin busy? He's always been like this since he was a child; when he gets busy, he forgets about everyone else! Sister-in-law, please don't blame him!"
"How could that be!" Jiang Can laughed. "We were quite busy just now!"
She emphasized the word "we".
Fu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, "You guys?"
"Yeah, the two of us are busy... Heh, since we're just lazing around at home anyway, we might as well do some exercise!"
Jiang Can spoke softly and didn't explain herself clearly, so Fu Qingyan immediately misunderstood.
"What kind of exercise?" Fu Qingyan's tone was a little off. "Sister-in-law, you...you're pregnant, how can you still exercise?"
"Why can't I be pregnant? It's just that some of the movements were a bit difficult, so Zhixing helped me... Ugh, never mind, I'm all sweaty now, and Zhixing is telling me to take a shower! Cousin Qingyan, let's talk another day!"
"Why……"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Can hung up the phone. Fu Qingyan raised her arm, almost smashing the phone to the ground!
What kind of "exercise" is she doing while pregnant? Does she still want to seduce men even with a big belly?!
"You bitch! You're such a bitch!" Fu Qingyan's face turned pale, and she shouted angrily.
Hearing the commotion, Sun Meifen rushed over and was startled to see her daughter trembling all over. She touched her head and asked, "Qingyan, are you sick?"
