Chapter 23

Huo Xiao also got in from the other side and closed the door. Qin returned to the passenger seat and told the driver to start driving. He then raised the rear baffle of the car with great foresight.

Jiang Jingzhu expressed satisfaction with Special Assistant Qin’s approach. After all, since she was already sitting with Huo Xiao, how could she justify her careful arrangements if she didn’t take advantage of this time to gain some life points?

Huo Xiao didn’t care about it, but leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.

Looking at Huo Xiao leaning against the bed with his eyes closed, Jiang Jingzhu looked at the man’s sleeping face.

Without the cold and indifferent eyes, Huo Xiao seemed much more approachable. She also found that the man’s eyelashes were very long, like a small brush when he closed his eyes. But she was not jealous, because her eyelashes were long and curled.

Retracting her thoughts, Jiang Jingzhu immediately sat on Huo Xiao’s legs.

Feeling the weight on his legs, the man suddenly opened his eyes, and his cold eyes were staring at Jiang Jingzhu, as if he was going to throw her down if she couldn’t explain her current behavior.

Meeting the man’s gaze, Jiang Jingzhu smiled gently, “Honey, I see you look very tired, let me press your temples for you.”

After saying that, without waiting for Huo Xiao to refuse, she raised her hand and began to press the man’s temple. In her previous life, she often pressed her father’s temple, so her technique was very skillful.

In fact, she wanted to complain in her heart, thinking that she had been single for many years and now, in order to survive, she could only find ways to have close contact with Huo Xiao. Fortunately, they were husband and wife, so everything she did was justified. If she changed her identity, she might be regarded as a pervert.

Seeing that Jiang Jingzhu had already started to press the button, Huo Xiao did not refuse. After signing the contract these days, he has been busy reviewing the company’s accounts, which is really tiring.

Although the woman’s strength was small, it was very comfortable to press the acupuncture points with just that little strength. So he closed his eyes and let her press.

Seeing the man’s slightly frowned brows slowly relax, Jiang Jingzhu smiled complacently. She had used this trick to get a lot of benefits from her father before.

As Jiang Jingzhu massaged him, Huo Xiao slowly relaxed his whole body.

Jiang Jingzhu continued to massage him until her hands became sore and weak, then she stopped. Her life value also increased by six hours.

As soon as she stopped, Huo Xiao opened his eyes.

Seeing the man looking at her, Jiang Jingzhu raised her sore hands in front of him with some pity, “Hubby, my hands are so sore, can you massage them for me too?”

After saying that, she didn’t care whether Huo Xiao agreed or not and directly extended her hand in front of him.

After looking at the fair and slender hand in front of him for a moment, Huo Xiao raised his hand and pinched her wrist with one hand, while kneading and relaxing her fingers with the other hand.

The woman’s hands were different from his. His palms were much bigger than hers, and the skin on the back of his hands was smooth and delicate. Her hands were white and slender, with distinct joints, and felt very tender and smooth when held.

Jiang Jingzhu felt very comfortable having her fingers kneaded by Huo Xiao, but the man only stared at her hands and did not look up at her.

This way she could stare at his profile even more unscrupulously.

“Honey, have you been very busy lately?”

When she asked this, the man just said “hmm” without even raising his head.

Hearing this, Jiang Jingzhu moved her hips and leaned forward, and put her red lips close to his ear. “Then I’ll stay here with you, okay? When you’re done, we’ll go back together.”

Huo Xiao’s body stiffened when Jiang Jingzhu approached him, and he finally raised his eyes to meet hers. “I’ll be very busy recently and won’t have time to accompany you.”

“It doesn’t matter, as long as I can accompany you. And even if I get bored, I can find fun on my own!”

After saying that, Jiang Jingzhuhai shook her body on his legs, “Okay…”

In response to her actions, Huo Xiao directly held her waist to prevent her from moving. “It’s up to you.”

Seeing that he didn’t object, Jiang Jingzhu was satisfied and stopped making trouble. The car slowly stopped, which should be the restaurant. Jiang Jingzhu immediately prepared to get off the man’s legs.

But at this time, Huo Xiao’s hand was still on her waist, making her unable to move.

Jiang Jingzhu looked at the man in confusion, “What’s wrong with my husband?”

Huo Xiao took a deep breath, and seeing the woman looking at him with innocent eyes, he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Jiang Jingzhu was slightly stunned when he heard this. Was he asking himself why he suddenly changed so quickly?

Since he had doubts, she still needed to explain it to avoid affecting the subsequent progress.

She sat upright on the man’s lap, holding Huo Xiao’s cheeks with both hands, and said in a serious tone, “Huo Xiao, do you have someone you like now?”

Huo Xiao didn’t say anything about Jiang Jingzhu’s actions. “No.”

Seeing his affirmative answer, Jiang Jingzhu was very satisfied and continued to ask, “Do you plan to divorce?”

“No.”

“I don’t have anyone I like, and I have no plans to divorce. Since we both plan to continue living like this, it is necessary to cultivate our relationship. We can’t be familiar strangers when we are already husband and wife! Husband, do you think what I said makes sense?”

Huo Xiao lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and nodded. She was indeed right.

Although he married her because of his grandmother, he had no intention of getting a divorce. He had thought that as long as she was honest and filial to her grandmother and didn’t do anything out of line, they could stay together forever.

Now that she wants to develop a relationship with me, it’s understandable. After all, we’re married and we need to get along well.

Seeing him nod, Jiang Jingzhu smiled at him and offered her suggestion, “It’s like this, because we got married without dating, so we are not familiar with each other. I suggest that we should be like young couples in love now, slowly get to know each other and understand each other, what do you think?”

“Um.”

Knowing that he was a man of few words, Jiang Jingzhu didn’t care and continued, “I also know that you are busy, so from now on, I will think of all the things that will enhance our relationship, and you just need to follow my instructions, okay?”

“good.”

Hearing that he agreed without hesitation, Jiang Jingzhu smiled with satisfaction. In fact, the reason why she said that was to prepare for the implementation of her plan later. After all, no matter what she did, saving her life was the first priority, and Huo Xiao’s cooperation was very important.

“Then why don’t we change the nicknames first. I like to call you hubby, but since you are seven years older than me, I can also call you Brother Xiao. Which one do you prefer me to call you?”

Huo Xiao glanced at the woman and said calmly, “It’s all right.”

“Okay, I’ll call you whatever you want. Now that my nickname is settled, what are you going to call me?”
