Huo Zhixing saw that the number was coming from Central City University, but it started with 02. If he remembered correctly, it should be the school's board of directors' hotline.
One-third of the board members of Yangcheng University are affiliated with the Yao family.
He smiled slightly and quickly understood.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Can looked at him with some concern. "Is there something wrong with this number?"
"It's okay, wait for me a moment."
Huo Zhixing turned and went to the balcony.
Jiang Can stood in the living room, staring blankly at his back. He made several phone calls in a row, his voice low and his pace unhurried, his expression calm and composed.
This is the demeanor of a true king...
A slight stirring ran through her heart, and she lowered her eyes, her cheeks feeling slightly flushed.
"Sister," Yin Cheng asked her softly, "Do you think brother-in-law really has a solution?"
"Yes, I think so." Her voice was barely audible.
“Oh…” Yin Cheng nodded, then suddenly sighed, “Sister, thank goodness your husband is Huo Zhixing, not Gu Mang! Sigh, it’s so good to have a powerful and influential brother-in-law!”
"..." Jiang Can glanced at him and remained silent.
Huo Zhixing walked back from the balcony with a relaxed smile on his face.
“I’ve basically figured things out. I’ll go to the school board in a couple of days.” He looked at Yin Cheng and patted him on the shoulder. “You stay home for the next couple of days, consider it a short vacation.”
"Okay!" Yin Cheng smiled, her heart settling on.
Jiang Can was somewhat surprised. He resolved such a big issue in such a short time? If he had used his position to pressure the school, it wouldn't have been a good thing for Yin Cheng.
After all, the nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and her expectation for Yin Cheng was that he could quietly focus on his studies.
How can he conduct research under such circumstances?
Huo Zhixing seemed to see through her thoughts and whispered in her ear, "I was afraid you would be unhappy, so I didn't tell anyone about our relationship, unless one day... you give me a title!"
Jiang Can was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh.
Huo Zhixing held her small hand, and her smile struck his heart, dissolving all his hardness.
Just then, the doorbell rang. Jiang Can opened the door, and Fang Han, who was extremely anxious, was standing outside.
"Young Master, the Old Master has urged you to go back immediately, he's called several times already!"
"Okay, I understand," Huo Zhixing said calmly.
However, just as he was about to leave, he suddenly realized something, turned around sharply, and grabbed Jiang Can.
"I'm leaving."
Jiang Can nodded. "Okay."
He was somewhat disappointed. "Aren't you going to see me off?"
Jiang Can paused for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed. She quickly changed her shoes and went downstairs with Huo Zhixing.
Fang Han was covered in sweat and ran away without a trace.
He doesn't want to be a third wheel!
Jiang Can and Huo Zhixing walked slowly in the neighborhood. The neighborhood wasn't very big; it took them no more than five minutes to walk around it.
No matter how many times he went around in circles, Huo Zhixing just couldn't bear to let Jiang Can go upstairs.
So, as Jiang Can passed by her apartment building for the eighth time, she suddenly stopped. "Huo Zhixing!"
"Um?"
"I really have to go home!"
Huo Zhixing took her small hand, his tall frame of 1.9 meters lowered his head in front of her, and looked at her expectantly with a soft laugh: "Can Can, look how late it is now..."
"Oh, so what?"
"So, can I not leave?" he asked her. "It's so dark, and it's not safe on the road. Are you sure you'd let me go back alone?"
Jiang Can burst out laughing, her stomach hurting.
She kept pushing him toward the entrance of the residential area, but Huo Zhixing was tall and strong, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't budge him an inch.
And because she exerted too much force, she lost her balance and fell right into his arms...
Taking advantage of the situation, Huo Zhixing tightly hugged her waist, and with his other hand, he reached down from her back to her neck and gently cupped the back of her head.
Jiang Can had no choice but to meet his gaze and see the two burning desires in his eyes.
Her heart was pounding, her face flushed, and she looked away.
"No...don't do this." She pushed against his chest with her small hands, feeling a burning heat.
Although all the blood in his body was rushing wildly towards a certain place, this was, after all, outside, and Huo Zhixing did his best to restrain his romantic thoughts.
“Can Can,” he said in a hoarse voice, helping her to her feet, “I won’t force you if you don’t want to. But… could you give me some encouragement on time? At least let me feel that you care about me.”
Jiang Can pursed her lips, lowered her eyelids, and remained silent.
Huo Zhixing took a deep breath, smiled at her, and patted her hair.
“Don’t worry,” he said, returning to the matter of Yin Cheng, “Xiao Cheng’s case is not a big deal. I will investigate and give him justice.”
Jiang Can raised her eyes, her gaze somewhat complicated.
After a long pause, she slowly said, "This is the first time I've encountered something like this, and I'm a little flustered... However, the only solution I can think of is to take advantage of my current job to make this matter known to everyone."
"But then I thought about it carefully, and realized that if I really did that, it might backfire."
"Hmm." Huo Zhixing nodded; he knew she was smart.
However, out of curiosity, he still asked, "Why did it backfire?"
"Yangcheng University is a century-old prestigious university. If this matter blows up, it won't do Xiaocheng any good. People might not believe us, and instead, they'll throw mud at us!"
“You’re right.” Huo Zhixing smiled. “When there’s a significant disparity in strength, it’s best not to act rashly.”
"But you solved this problem in just a few words," Jiang Can said with a wry smile. "So, in the end, I still have to rely on you..."
Huo Zhixing took her hand and gently pulled her into his arms. Her face was pressed against his strong chest, and she felt a strong sense of security as she heard his familiar heartbeat.
The man gently stroked her hair with his large hand, his voice deep and tender, "You're already amazing. You can live a good life without relying on me."
"As for this matter..." he said, "Xiao Cheng is also my brother. I can't just stand by and watch him be wronged. Of course, I have to do everything I can to help him."
Jiang Can smiled and snuggled closer to him.
She knew it was her fragile pride acting up again. She would often feel inferior in his presence.
And she knew that this was not a good thing.
This man has always doted on her, protected her, and loved her, but she has become somewhat petty.
Jiang Can reached out her small hand and wrapped it around his waist, whispering, "Thank you."
Huo Zhixing smiled contentedly.
Holding her like that, he felt like he had the whole world.
Suddenly, two beams of light shone on them, followed by the sound of brakes. The two men were startled at the same time, and saw a red Porsche stop in front of them.
Huo Zhixing's face darkened, and he instinctively shielded Jiang Can behind him.
The car door opened, and the first thing that caught Jiang Can's eye was a pair of diamond-encrusted stilettos. Looking up, she saw a beautiful face smiling as she walked towards them.
