“But I’m afraid I might be busy tomorrow.” Su Wanwan intentionally remarked.

“Then the day after tomorrow, whenever you’re available.” Qiao Zixin made a point to accommodate her.

Su Wanwan thought for a moment and kept on probing, “But these few days, I might not be free.”

“I see.” Qiao Zixin sounded a bit disappointed, “Well… why don’t you add me on WeChat first? It will make contacting each other easier. You can use my phone number.”

“Sure.”

Qiao Zixin chattered on about the past. Su Wanwan listened unenthusiastically, questioning whether she was ever so close with her.

Not until the bathroom door was suddenly flung open did she react, “I have something to do, I’ll hang up.”

“Babe, could you pass me my pajamas?” Huo Jingshen’s voice drifted over just then.

What the heck, this jerk!

Su Wanwan quickly hung up the phone.

Such a loudmouth, who knew if Qiao Zixin overheard on the other end?

***

On the other end of the phone, even after it had gone dead, Qiao Zixin was still holding her phone, reluctant to let go.

“Babe, could you pass me my pajamas?”

Was he taking a shower?

Immediately, an image of Huo Jingshen’s cold and captivating face flitted through her mind, along with that of his close to 1.9-meter-tall impeccable figure.

As far as she, who was experienced in the ways of men, was concerned, Huo Jingshen could be considered a top-tier male model.

Moreover, she could tell he worked out regularly.

Although a height of 1.9 meters was considered slightly taller among Asian men, his upright posture, noble aura, and powerful presence naturally made him appear superior.

Such a man could allure any woman with his looks alone, let alone his family background.

And Qiao Zixin admitted, she was love at first sight with Huo Jingshen!

Especially after their second encounter at Su Family’s house tonight, she couldn’t contain her excitement. After listening to what Xing Siqing had to say in the car, she immediately went home and searched for all news and information about Huo Jingshen.

She was eager to learn everything about him.

However, she did not find much. Only news about him taking over the Huo Yuan Group after returning to Y Country and the introduction of his Yunda Investment Group in Y Country.

In European media, he was dubbed a “Business prodigy”, and alongside his business partner Fu Xihan, they were acclaimed as the “Chinese Gemini” in the European investment scene.

With their keen eye for investment and exceptional audacity and ambition, they invested in numerous seemingly hopeless projects that surprised everyone by turning impressive profits. In their twenties, they became the heads of listed companies. Not even thirty, and their wealth had already surpassed billions, leading the Forbes rich list.

It could be said that, despite their young age, they had achieved success that every man dreams to achieve in his lifetime.

The fact that such a perfect and outstanding man got snatched away by Su Wanwan was simply preposterous!

And she noticed that there was hardly any news about Huo Jingshen’s private life. The only piece of gossip she found was the announcement of his marriage to Su Wanwan at Su Family’s house.

She paid particular attention to the date of that news – it was just a dozen or so days ago.

That is to say, the two of them had been married for just over ten days.

Suddenly, Qiao Zixin realized that her cousin seemed to be really crafty, having hooked such a prime specimen of a man just within ten days of returning to the country.

Compared to her sister, Su Yanyan’s methods and taste in men were simply miles apart!

Su Wanwan had no idea that Qiao Zixin was imagining her husband at that moment.

Right now, she was feeling annoyed. Even during showers, he needed her to fetch this and that, does he not have hands?

Can’t he get everything ready beforehand?

He’s clearly doing this on purpose!

“Babe.”

Seeing Su Wanwan unresponsive, Huo Jingshen started calling out again.

Su Wanwan flat out yelled, “So annoying! Get whatever you want yourself!”

Then, the sound of footsteps echoed.

Su Wanwan turned around outright, picked up her phone, opened TikTok, and started watching videos in a show of defiance.

Anyway, she just wanted to ignore him at that moment.

TikTok’s background music was upbeat. She deliberately turned the volume up high, and whenever she saw a funny video, she would laugh along.

Engrossed in her viewing, her phone was suddenly snatched away.

“What are you doing? Why are you taking my phone?” Su Wanwan immediately glared at him.

Huo Jingshen simply turned off the phone and tossed it aside, “Too noisy.”

“Then let it be! Who are you to meddle in what I do? Even watching TikTok is none of your business!” Su Wanwan was on the verge of losing her temper.

What she hated most was being controlled by others!

From a young age, Su Yuntang would forbid her to do this and that, he would find fault with everything she did.

The reaction was a rebellion.

On top of his blatant favoritism towards Su Yanyan, Su Wanwan wasn’t happy and became even more rebellious, spending the majority of her adolescence clashing against him.

“Why are you so annoying? Can’t you not be like my dad?”

“The soundproofing in the room isn’t good.”

Huo Jingshen casually dropped a line that silenced Su Wanwan immediately. Um.

It wouldn’t be good if they argued loudly and the old lady overheard, misunderstanding something else…

Seeing how quickly the girl reigned herself in, Huo Jingshen sounded pleased, “Good girl.”

Su Wanwan:”…”

Before she could answer, the man suddenly raised his eyebrows and stretched his hand under the covers, pulling out a small green medicine bottle.

Su Wanwan blinked in surprise.

Darn it, she almost forgot….
