Chapter 139



The two men shouted in unison, "No!"

Of course, the objection was ineffective.

After all, the consequences of making your wife angry are more serious than sleeping with a man.

Later, when Lu Lishan returned to the hotel listlessly, carrying large bags, he opened the door to find the soft, plush bed in the carefully selected king-size room...

He almost exploded on the spot!

In contrast, Huo Zhixing was much calmer. He silently took off his coat, pulled out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, added ice, and slowly swirled it.

"Huo Zhixing, whether you like it or not, we must stand together!" Lu Lishan gritted his teeth.

"Starting tomorrow, each of you will be in charge of your own women. Absolutely no more letting those two get together, you hear me?!"

Lu Lishan puffed up his cheeks and lay down on the bed, wishing he could punch a hole in it.

Huo Zhixing remained calm, a slight smile playing on his lips as he gazed at the vast night outside the window. After a short while, his eyes darkened.

Nanyang, the Yin family.

Yin Ruohong, pharmaceutical factory.

These thoughts lingered in his mind.

He knew very well why Huo Zhanhe wanted to harm him, but why did Yin Ruohong have to get involved?

Could a mere hundred million dollars in insurance coverage really entice him?

Although the Yin family's influence is not as great as the Huo family's, they are involved in the most profitable fields of medicine and information technology, so they are not short of money.

Therefore, Yin Ruohong must have had other motives for doing this!

...

After returning from the port city, Jiang Can's smile was noticeably more frequent than before.

Huo Zhixing felt a little relieved, but then he received a call from Ye Chen.

"Third Brother, Old Master Huo has withheld your statement. I think you'd better go back to Yangcheng."

"Okay, I understand." Huo Zhixing knew what was going on.

He knew this day would come as early as when he asked Ye Chen to write the statement.

Huo Zhixing hung up the phone, glanced at Jiang Can who was still tidying up the house, and smiled slightly.

A woman who is always busy can never stop; in her eyes, there is always something to do at home.

She was collecting laundry on the balcony at that moment.

The clothes rack was a bit high, so she had to stand on tiptoe and stretch her arms. And at home, to stay cool, she was only wearing a large T-shirt that barely covered her bottom.

Huo Zhi moved his Adam's apple, feeling a bit thirsty.

He walked over quietly and reached the piece of clothing that she had always been unable to reach without any effort.

Jiang Can was caught off guard and bumped into his arms. Huo Zhixing reacted quickly, grabbing her slender waist and pressing their bodies together without any gap...

“Wife,” a low, husky voice tinged with amusement, “stop doing all this and get some rest tonight.”

Jiang Can lowered her eyes and chuckled softly, her face flushing red.

Although she would never refuse normally, today was different.

"Wait until I'm done packing, okay? Shen Xiao told me that Mom's condition has been good these past few days and she can be discharged from the hospital to recuperate at home."

"So I need to quickly prepare the things my mother needs and send them to her."

Huo Zhixing stroked her small hand playfully, "Can't we tidy up tomorrow?"

"There are still things to do tomorrow." Just then, the oven dinged, and Jiang Can hurriedly ran to check on the newly made dessert.

She prepares the ingredients needed for the next day in advance every day, and the small coffee shop has turned a profit thanks to her efforts.

Huo Zhixing stood there, scratched his head, and let out a long breath.

I should have known better than to set up a coffee shop for her!

This time should have belonged to him, but now it's being taken up by cakes and cookies!

"Honey, could you get me a few plates?"

"Oh, here it comes."

Huo Zhixing went to the kitchen to get a plate, then leaned against the door and quietly watched her.

“Can Can,” he thought for a moment and told her, “I’m going to… go out for intensive training starting tomorrow.”

Jiang Can was taken aback. "Another competition?"

"Hmm," he mumbled, "I might stay a few more days this time."

Jiang Can looked somewhat dejected.

However, since it's a career he enjoys, she will definitely give it her full support.

Huo Zhi walked over, gently wrapped his arms around her waist, and buried his face in her neck, inhaling her sweet fragrance.

"Honey, do you remember the moves I taught you before?"

Jiang Can rolled her eyes, and without thinking much, continued, "I remember."

The man grinned mischievously. "How much do you remember?"

Jiang Can gestured simply, "If someone attacks me from the front, do this... If someone comes from behind, do this..."

When she touched his wrist, he suddenly hugged her even tighter!

Huo Zhixing was strong, and she couldn't break free no matter what she did; her face flushed red with anxiety.

"husband……"

Huo Zhixing suddenly picked her up and carried her into the bedroom bed without saying a word.

Jiang Can finally came to her senses and started punching his chest with her little fists, glaring at him fiercely.

"Those few did a decent job," Huo Zhixing said in a low voice with a gentle smile. "Now..."

...

"Young Master, we've arrived." Fang Han parked the car outside the Huo family manor.

Huo Zhixing's eyes flickered, and he used a few light coughs to cover up the embarrassment of his recent lapse in concentration.

Fang Han kept his eyes down and said in a low voice, "Young Master, there's no need to worry. Miss Jiang has already arranged for a lot of people to help her. She will definitely be fine."

"Hmm," Huo Zhixing replied casually.

Throughout the flight, her soft, charming voice, her sweet whispers in his ear, her adorable, nestled against his chest...

His and her madness.

His mind was completely filled with them.

He had only just arrived in the central city when he already wanted to go back.

The butler came out from inside and respectfully led him to the outside of Huo Wenyuan's study.

"Third Young Master, it's so good to see you back!" The old butler exclaimed excitedly. "The old chairman has finally been waiting for this day!"

Huo Zhixing frowned slightly. "What's wrong, Grandpa?"

The old butler sighed softly, "As people get older, their bodies naturally don't function as well as before."

Has the doctor come?

"He's been here, and all the necessary tests have been done. But the Third Young Master... he's an old man after all, and aging is a natural process. The doctor said that the old chairman has maintained himself to this extent quite well!"

"Hmm." Huo Zhixing nodded and walked straight into the study.

Huo Wenyuan had just finished drinking the clear stewed bird's nest when the servants all retreated upon seeing Huo Zhixing enter.

The study was filled with the aroma of tea. Huo Wenyuan sat in a grand chair, fiddling with the tea set. He had a full head of silver hair and wore a black silk Tang suit. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes added to his stern appearance.

The dragon-headed cane was still beside him.

Huo Zhixing stood opposite him.

His innate sense of oppression and powerful aura are inherited from Huo Wenyuan.

"You're back?" Huo Wenyuan asked expressionlessly, glancing up at him.

"Yes, Grandpa."

Huo Wenyuan paused for a moment, then, instead of beating around the bush, he directly issued a statement, his aged voice carrying a chilling aura.

"I need your explanation."

Huo Zhixing's eyes darkened.

Huo Wenyuan straightened up, his eyes seeming to conceal two cold daggers, and asked, word by word, "Jiang Can, who is she?"
