Jiang Can's heart skipped a beat, and she turned around to gently lean against him.
His scent always made her feel incredibly attached to him.
Jiang Can slept soundly that night, but when she woke up the next morning, she found that Huo Zhixing was not by her side.
However, the aroma of freshly baked bread wafted from downstairs.
Jiang Can, heavily pregnant, went downstairs to see Huo Zhixing bustling about in the kitchen. Several housekeepers stood by, not daring to utter a sound, watching helplessly as he turned the kitchen into a scene resembling World War III.
"Wife, you're awake?" Huo Zhixing poked his head out and smiled at her.
Jiang Can suddenly remembered when they were still in Jiangzhou. At that time, she was having severe menstrual cramps and had to take a day off. Huo Zhixing volunteered to cook for her, but...
Not only was the kitchen a mess, but the breakfasts made were also a burnt fried egg and oatmeal porridge with only a few grains of oatmeal.
Jiang Can chuckled and walked over to take a look.
It's much better now. Although the kitchen is messy, my cooking skills have improved a lot.
Huo Zhixing made her a rainbow-colored breakfast: red for tomatoes, yellow for corn kernels, green for lettuce leaves, and purple for sweet potato buns.
Jiang Can turned around and hugged him, praising him loudly in English, "My husband is amazing!"
The housekeepers exchanged amused glances, unable to stomach this display of affection, and quickly took out the prepared breakfast while they cleaned up the mess.
Huo Zhixing held a bowl of pumpkin porridge and fed his wife spoonful by spoonful.
"Honey," Jiang Can wiped her mouth, "It's the weekend, what are your plans?"
"Do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Um... I want to visit my parents."
Huo Zhixing smiled and readily agreed.
Yin Ruohong and Yin Wenxi also stayed at a hotel under the Fu family's umbrella, becoming neighbors with Nie Xin.
So they must have met Sang Qing by now.
Jiang Can chewed on a small purple sweet potato bun, lost in thought: "If Mom and Dad think Sang Qing is a good match, then I think... why don't they take her back to Southeast Asia?"
"What?" Huo Zhixing was taken aback.
“Anyway, Sang Qing has no official status anywhere. But she has a skill!” Jiang Can looked at him. “Even Nie Xin said that her embroidery skills are better than those of the embroiderers in Southeast Asia!”
"If we could take her back to Southeast Asia and train her properly, plus... the Yin family's relationship with the Southeast Asian royal family, getting her an official status shouldn't be too difficult."
"Mm." Huo Zhixing agreed calmly. "Don't worry about others for now. Right now, you are the most important person in the family!"
Jiang Can smiled, pursing her lips.
Just then, the doorbell rang urgently.
The butler went to open the door, and a moment later a dashing white police officer walked in. Huo Zhixing was somewhat surprised to see him and greeted him with a smile, "Will? What brings you here?"
Officer Will also bowed politely.
He was an old friend of the Fu family, and it was precisely because of the Fu family's strong support that Will was able to rise three ranks from a lowly police officer to his current position.
Huo Zhixing was about the same age as him, and every time he came to England, he would invite him out for a couple of drinks or play golf together.
"You're on vacation today?" Huo Zhixing patted his shoulder with a smile. "But I can't go out with you today. My wife is about to give birth, and I have to stay with her."
Will forced a smile, looking somewhat preoccupied.
Huo Zhixing sensed something was wrong. "Is there something you want to tell me?"
Will composed himself, took out his phone, and played a video.
The background in the video is a film set, and the main character is Sang Qing!
“This…” Jiang Can wondered, “This seems to be the day Sang Qing was on Tang Yilan’s film set.”
Huo Zhixing was stunned.
"You forgot?" Jiang Can reminded him, "That day, Tang Yilan was revising the script, and Nie Xin brought Sang Qing to visit the set. That's when Tang Yilan took a liking to Sang Qing! He took a lot of pictures of her."
"Mrs. Huo," Officer Will said seriously, "So...you know this girl?"
"I……"
Jiang Can hesitated and looked at Huo Zhixing.
Huo Zhixing put his arm around her shoulder. "Officer Will is one of us. There's no need to hide it."
He looked at him and said, "That's right, we know Sang Qing. Will, is there anything wrong with that?"
“This is a complicated matter.” Officer Will frowned. “Do you know who leaked this video?”
"who?"
"Fu Qingyan".
Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can were both stunned.
"Fu Qingyan is detained pending trial, but for some reason, she has this video on her phone, and she voluntarily handed it over to the police... Because I know Fu Qingyan is your cousin, I got this video from my colleague, just to ask you in person what happened?"
"This..." Huo Zhixing was speechless, and Jiang Can was also at a loss for words.
The two of them no longer had the energy to think about why Fu Qingyan had this video.
The problem now is that Sang Qing has been exposed to the police.
“If I were the one who saw this video, I would have quietly stopped it…but unfortunately, several of my colleagues saw it,” Officer Will said. “They quickly investigated and found that the girl was undocumented, an illegal immigrant, living in a slum in the south, and often mingled with Gypsies.”
“Mr. and Mrs. Huo,” Officer Will said solemnly, “according to the law, this young lady is to be deported!”
"Officer Will!" Jiang Can said anxiously, "Could you please have some mercy and give us a little time? We..."
Just then, Officer Will's phone rang.
He walked to the side to answer the phone, and after a while he turned back, his expression even more serious.
Huo Zhixing already had a bad feeling and asked in a deep voice, "Something happened?"
Officer Will nodded.
"The police said they've already sent people to hunt down Sang Qing!"
"What?"
“You probably don’t know this, but officers can get commendations for catching people like this. So…” Officer Will took a deep breath, straightened his hat, and a cold glint flashed from his sidearm.
"Don't worry, both of you, I'll go back and see what's going on. If Miss Sang Qing is taken to the police station for questioning, I will guarantee her safety and make sure she doesn't suffer!"
After saying that, Officer Will turned and left.
Jiang Can composed herself, then suddenly grabbed her phone and called Nie Xin.
The phone rang for quite a while before someone answered.
Where are you now?
"I'm in class!" Nie Xin said lazily. "Your Mr. Huo signed me up for so many courses. If I don't hone my acting skills, wouldn't I be wasting his efforts?"
"Come back quickly!" Jiang Can said anxiously, "Something has happened to Sang Qing!"
