Nan Chu unconsciously tightened his fingers.

The provocativeness in the man's words is simply disgusting.

She thought that she would be despised and humiliated.

Unexpectedly, it all started when she set foot on the land in front of Huo's house.

Hoshi stopped in his tracks.

There was a coldness in his eyes.

"An illegitimate child who has nothing to do with the Huo family, call me cousin, Xiang Yang, do you deserve it too?"

Nan Chu was stunned.

Mr. Huo has always been rude when speaking, but it only makes people feel that he is inaccessible, and he rarely pokes people's pain.

This is his innate self-cultivation.

today...

Nan Chu felt very directly that Mr. Huo was angry.

Xiang Yang was obviously also dumbfounded, his face flushed red, and he stared at Nan Chu viciously.

It's all this woman's fault!

Huo Xici dragged Nan Chu into the main hall.

In the main hall, on the sofa, was sitting a luxuriously dressed lady.

Seeing Huo Xici, the lady stood up, very excited, "Xici—"

Suddenly, her gaze touched Nan Chu who was beside Huo Xici, and the lady's expression changed.

Nan Chu saw her expression all in his eyes.

She is Huo Xici's mother, Mrs. Xiang Weixiang.

Xiang Wei looked at Nan Chu with eyes, as if looking at the vegetable leaves that had been picked at the vegetable market.

"Xi Ci, who is this lady?"

Mrs. Xiang glanced at Nan Chu contemptuously, and spoke to Huo Xi again with joy on her face.

"Don't pretend."

Huo Xici still had a cold face.

Eh?Is the relationship between Mr. Huo and Mrs. Xiang bad?

Nan Chu put on a cute look on his face, but he was staring at Xiang Wei's expression from the corner of his eye.

Xiang Wei was embarrassed and smoothed things over for herself.

"I remember, you told me that this is your girlfriend?"

Huo Xici sneered again.

"Tang Jing, how do you pass on the words?"

Tang Jing, who was following behind, hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mr. Huo, I told Mrs. Xiang as you ordered."

"I said——Boss Huo and Ms. Nan are in love with each other, and they have already obtained a marriage certificate."

Even facing Xiang Wei's fierce gaze, Tang Jing didn't back down in the slightest.

Nan Chu couldn't help but suspect that this was specially arranged by Huo Xici.

Hossey raised his eyebrows, "Did you hear me clearly?"

"If you haven't heard it clearly, Tang Jing will stay here until Madam hears it clearly."

There was an uproar in the main hall.

Before they came in, Xiang Wei was discussing this matter with other ladies.

Xiang Wei deliberately concealed the fact that the two of them had obtained the certificate, adding fuel to the story, insisting that it was Nan Chu who was pestering Huo Xi to death.

Now being punctured by Horsey's speech, it is inevitable to lose face.

Xiang Wei was not angry with Huo Xici, but put all of this on Nan Chu's head.

"Xi Ci——" Xiang Wei barely maintained a smile, "I'll have someone take you to the room..."

"No, she and I will live in my room."

Huo Xi led Nan Chu through the main hall in a grand manner.

Nanchu felt that there were countless eyes on her.

She suppressed the tension in her heart, took graceful steps that formed muscle memory, raised her head and walked forward.

After passing through the main hall, the number of people gradually decreased, and Nan Chu relaxed a little.

"Mr. Huo, if you do this, I will offend Mrs. Xiang thoroughly!"

Nan Chu lowered his voice, and whispered close to Huo Xici.

"From the moment you and I got the certificate, we have offended her."

Horsey stated the facts lightly.

"As long as it's not...she won't be satisfied."

Nan Chu didn't understand what Huo Xi said in his speech, so it was hard to ask.

Having been with Huo Xici for so long, she is more aware of Huo Xici's true emotions than others.

Although Mr. Huo said it harshly, he still has some affection for Mrs. Xiang.

As Nan Chu was walking, he suddenly laughed.

"Mr. Huo, how much is [-]% of Huo's shares worth?"

Huo Xi raised his eyebrows, "What, you are short of money?"

"What if Mrs. Xiang asks me to divorce you?"

Nan Chu blinked his eyes.

"I always have to figure out what's going on in the market."

The corners of Hossie's mouth raised slightly.

Nan Chu always has a way to make him happy.

"I'm afraid she can't."

The two walked to a door, and Huo Xici stopped and stared at her.

"Collecting your shares well is enough to make you worth more than her."

Horsey resigned to enter the password and opened the door.

It turned out to be a suite.

It is even worse than the top luxury suites in the hotel.

"Is this where you used to live?"

Nan Chu asked casually, still thinking about Huo Xici's words about "worth".

So Huo's shares are so valuable?

She is a little guilty.

During this period of time, Mr. Huo has not only caused a lot of trouble.

Even his own job—pretending to be a wife—was not done well.

Now Mr. Huo has to turn around and protect her.

"It is."

Horsey's voice brought her back to reality.

Nan Chu reached out and touched the desk, there was no dust.

It seems that although Mr. Huo has been away from home for many years, this room is still cleaned regularly.

"There will be a small family dinner tonight. Of course, the main event will be tomorrow."

Without thinking, Nanchu said, "I will go."

She was already so guilty that she couldn't refuse any legitimate request from Hosse.

Huo Xici was surprised, then chuckled, and added: "I didn't say you don't have to participate."

That's what you mean!

Nan Chu found out the bad taste of Huo Xici.

Behind Huo Xi's resignation, Nan Chu rolled his eyes wildly.

Suddenly, the exposed corner of the drawer caught her attention.

She opened the drawer, and there was only a photo album in it.

Nanchu hesitated, "Mr. Huo, can I take a look?"

"Not much to see."

Huo Xici took out a notebook from the bedroom, probably sent by someone in advance.

He turned on the computer, flipped through two pages of work documents, and saw that Nan Chu was still staring at the drawer.

"Look at it if you want."

yeah!
Nan Chu picked up the photo album and sat next to Huo Xici to flip through it.

The photo album is thick, but there are not many photos.

Suddenly, a photo caught her attention.

In the photo, a little boy about ten years old has a delicate appearance and a cold expression.

At first glance, it is Mr. Huo, it is almost scaled up, especially the expression.

The middle-aged man and woman beside him were probably his deceased father and Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang held Huo Xici with one hand, and a delicate and lovely girl with the other.

Strange, I haven't heard that Mr. Huo has an older sister or a younger sister...

"Mr. Huo, is this your family too?"

Nan Chu pointed at the girl in the photo.

Huo Xici's eyes darkened, "No."

"An unimportant person."

Nan Chu wanted to ask something, but when he saw the dense data on the computer screen of Huo Xici, he obediently shut up.

After Hossie finished his work, the sky had already darkened.

Nan Chu leaned on the sofa, sleeping soundly beside him.

Huo Xici gently picked up the photo album from her hand.

He stared at the picture.

After a long time, he hooked the corner of his mouth as if mocking himself, and threw the photo album back into the drawer.

He bent down and stretched out his hand unconsciously to touch Nan Chu's hair.

"Mr. Huo, Madam asked you to go down for dinner."

A servant knocked on the door.

Nan Chu suddenly opened his eyes, staring blankly at Huo Xici who was only ten centimeters away from her.
