After the scumbag cheated on me, I turned around and married the heir to a wealthy family.

Wrapped in the warm and soft sofa, Zhu Jin felt his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't even lift them up, and he fell into a blurred sleep in an instant.

Half asleep and half awake, she seemed to hear the sound of someone pushing the door open, and then heard steady footsteps gradually approaching her.

Just when Zhu Jin was about to open her eyes cautiously, she was picked up horizontally by someone, with her face buried in the other person's chest. She could smell the faint fragrance emanating from the other person.

It is a familiar smell that makes me feel at ease.

Zhu Jin stopped struggling and let his consciousness sink deeper into confusion.

Even though he was walking barefoot on the carpet, Huo Jingcheng still made his footsteps light. He carried the person to the bed, pulled the quilt over him, and then turned around and left.

Assistant Chen was standing at the door. He was about to explain the situation when he was interrupted by Huo Jingcheng.

Huo Jingcheng raised his index finger and made a hushing gesture to signal the other party to be quiet, then pointed in the direction of the door and walked towards it.

Assistant Chen understood immediately and followed Huo Jingcheng closely. After they walked out of the room, Huo Jingcheng said, "Go ahead."

Assistant Chen immediately explained in detail what had happened in the past few days and the reversal of public opinion, especially focusing on the content about Zhu Jin.

After that, he added, "Don't worry, Second Master. This matter has been handled and it will definitely not have any impact on the Second Madam."

"Yes." Huo Jingcheng pinched his brows, "Cancel the previous cooperation, they are not suitable, find the next partner."

Assistant Chen nodded and agreed without asking any more questions, "Yes."

Huo Jingcheng waved his hand to signal everyone to leave and rest, then turned around and went back to his hotel room.

Instead of going back to the bedroom directly, he poured himself a glass of aerated red wine and took it back to the study.

This collaboration evaluation was the worst decision their team had ever made.

The country is in turmoil. Although there is a lot of wealth on hand, it is royal assets and cannot be decided by one person.

Frequent and repeated evaluations are of no use to subsequent collaboration and may to some extent hinder others and delay progress.

After encountering a shooting incident right after getting off the plane, Huo Jingcheng thought that he should have turned around and left instead of thinking about talking further.

After a glass of red wine, Huo Jingcheng had finished processing all the documents1.

He then got up and went back to his room. He washed himself thoroughly before getting into bed. He made sure there was no smell of alcohol on his body before he held her in his arms and fell asleep in her arms.

This was the soundest sleep he had had in recent days.

The next day, a ray of early morning sunlight shone through the gap into Zhu Jin's eyes.

She subconsciously raised her hand to block it, but someone helped to block the light in advance.

When he blinked, Zhu Jin could feel his eyelashes gently brushing against the other person's palm.

"Sleep a little longer, it's still early." The man's deep and hoarse voice came from behind.

Zhu Jin could feel the man's head buried in her neck, rubbing against her, with a bit of intimacy and coquettishness.

Perhaps it was because Huo Jingcheng's fatigue was too obvious, Zhu Jin didn't say much. Instead, he gently held his wrist, rubbed it affectionately, subconsciously snuggled into his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

When Zhu Jin wasn't noticing, Huo Jingcheng's mouth corners slightly raised.

It was already noon when the two woke up again.

When Zhu Jin saw it, he immediately turned over and sat up.

I have to attend the semi-final live scoring in the afternoon.

"Don't worry, they notified us this morning and moved it to tomorrow morning." Huo Jingcheng came in from the living room holding a cup of coffee. He put the coffee on the bedside table and said, "We think it's too hard for you to participate in the competition, so we decided to postpone it for a day."

Zhu Jingang looked at Huo Jingcheng, and the man spread his hands, "It has nothing to do with me. I just received the notice this morning."

Zhu Jin said he was half-believing and half-doubting.

Only after washing up did Zhu Jin feel that he was completely awake.

The fatigue from the past few days seemed to disappear instantly during last night's wonderful sleep.

It was at this time that Zhu Jin noticed the scar on Huo Jingcheng's face.

"How did you get hurt?" Zhu Jin stepped forward nervously, and gently stroked the other's wound with his outstretched hand, as if he was afraid of hurting the other person. "What happened?"

Huo Jingcheng grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently, "It's okay. I'm just a little hurt."

Zhu Jin looked at him with dissatisfaction and a hint of reproach, "How did you get this injury?"

She thought that it was not an ordinary scar, but more like a scar left by something that had hit him at high speed.

Huo Jingcheng could see that if he didn't tell anyone, Zhu Jin would probably continue to ask more questions.

"That country doesn't ban guns."

There is no need to say it explicitly, smart people will naturally understand it.

Huo Jingcheng could feel that Zhu Jin used some force in holding his hand, as if he was too nervous.

"Are there any other injuries?" Zhu Jin asked nervously, wishing he could strip the man naked right now and look him over carefully inside and out.

Seeing her so nervous, Huo Jingcheng felt a warm current flowing through his heart.

He gently squeezed the other person's palm and shook his head, "No. I happened to encounter a gunfight when I got off the car, and I was accidentally hit. No other injuries, there is increased security in the back, everything is safe."

In fact, Huo Jingcheng hid one thing from Zhu Jin.

Perhaps because he saw that he had no intention of cooperating, the prince sent someone to tamper with his plane when he was about to leave.

If Huo Jingcheng hadn't been so cautious, he would have asked someone to do a second check before boarding the plane.

Now can he come back and tell them.

This is also the reason why Huo Jingcheng really made up his mind to refuse to cooperate.

He would never work with someone who was so vicious as to attack his own partner.

If conflicts arise in future cooperation, won't the other party be able to attack me at any time?

Such a partner is too unstable.

"Be more careful next time. It's best to have someone check it out before going." Zhu Jin looked at the scar worriedly. Although it was not big, it made Zhu Jin's heart tremble when he saw it.

Especially when she thought that it was a gunshot wound, she became even more worried.

"Okay, I know." Huo Jingcheng raised his hand and gently stroked her forehead, leaning over to kiss her forehead, his tone gentler than before, "Well, I'll listen to you."

Zhu Jin glared at him angrily, "You only know how to make me happy."

"You didn't miss your meal after getting off the plane yesterday, did you?" Zhu Jin tied her hair into a high ponytail. "Shall we go out for dinner later? Or should we take some food and send it back?"

"It's all right. I'll listen to you." Huo Jingcheng said.

Zhu Jin heard the slight hint of fatigue in Huo Jingcheng's words.

I guess the other party probably hasn't had an easy time these days.

He had to change clothes and find a place to go out, and he also had to pretend to be sick, which was really troublesome.

"I have been curious about a Japanese food restaurant for a long time. I remember it can be delivered to your door. Can I contact you later?" said Zhu Jin.

Huo Jingcheng nodded and agreed.
