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

Under the rainy night with lightning and thunder, the villa standing halfway up the mountain looked eerie.

After Assistant Chen sent Zhu Jin to the villa, he only left the key and asked Zhu Jin to have a good rest here before leaving in a hurry.

The whole villa was eerily quiet, with no trace of any human beings at all.

After opening the door, Zhu Jin glanced around casually. The decoration of the villa in front of him was simple and luxurious, and many of the furniture were made by everyone.

Fortunately, he ate something at that banquet, so Zhu Jin was not hungry now.

She did not linger on the first floor, but walked up the spiral staircase to the second floor.

Assistant Chen didn't specifically remind her, which proves that she can choose the rooms in the entire villa, and she can live wherever she wants.

When Zhu Jin's feet stepped on the second floor platform, a thunder struck outside the house, the lights in the villa flickered, and the next second it completely fell into darkness.

Zhu Jin froze, and the darkness reminded her of the bad experience she had at Zhu's house.

But the panic only existed for a short time. The next second, Zhu Jin took out his phone from his pocket and pressed it. Only a red low battery sign lit up on the screen.

This is really adding insult to injury.

Zhu Jin slowly exhaled a breath, pressed his hand on the wall, and moved forward in small steps.

She just hoped that she could find a room as soon as possible and go inside to rest. This hope was soon realized.

Zhu Jin unscrewed the door handle and explored the room, but he tripped over something and fell forward.

The man groaned, and Zhu Jin felt his cheek pressed against a flat and warm place, and he could still hear the sound of his beating heart in his ears.

"Get up." There was no emotion in the low, hoarse voice.

Zhu Jin hurriedly put his hands on both sides of the wheelchair, halfway up his body.

At this time, purple lightning struck the night sky, making the room bright, and the face that was beyond recognition due to disfigurement was very close at hand.

The close visual impact made the unsuspecting Zhu Jin almost scream, but she reacted very quickly and suppressed the scream by herself. Only her pupils that shrank and dilated out of fear proved her nervousness.

"Ah."

With his hot palm on his waist, Zhu Jin was hugged into his arms forcefully. There was a coldness in his voice that was not easily noticed by others, "Why are you afraid of me?"

Zhu Jin's thoughts returned. She lay in Huo Jingcheng's arms, unable to see his face, "You are my husband, why should I be afraid?"

The rhetorical question caused the man hugging her to laugh softly. Zhu Jin, who was lying on her chest, could feel the vibrations in his chest.

"This mouth can say nice things to make people happy."

"Second Master, I am telling the truth."

Zhu Jin only felt that the hand restraining his waist was suddenly lifted hard, and his whole body followed the force and moved directly into a straddling position.

Zhu Jin's hands subconsciously circled Huo Jingcheng's neck, and the two were so close that they could feel each other's breathing.

"You still don't know what to call yourself?"

Zhu Jin instantly understood the meaning of his words and shouted sweetly, "Husband."

Huo Jingcheng's lips curled up slightly, "Remember it yourself, I don't want you to shout the wrong thing again."

"Husband, I understand."

"Have you had dinner?"

Zhu Jin nodded obediently, "I ate it at the banquet."

"The room is the second one straight ahead."

Huo Jingcheng's sudden change of topic seemed very abrupt. Zhu Jin hesitated and asked, "Should I push you over?"

"No need."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Jin heard the sound of machinery, and then she and Huo Jingcheng moved forward together.

She subconsciously hugged Huo Jingcheng's neck tightly, as if she was afraid that she would accidentally fall out of his arms.

The wheelchair moved forward very steadily. Zhu Jin, who had just calmed down, felt the changes in the other person's body from the close contact.

The previous experiences of pleasure came to mind, and my face couldn't help but feel hot and red.

She subconsciously moved her body, trying to avoid this embarrassing position.

Huo Jingcheng's eyes grew darker as she moved, and his low and hoarse voice was filled with infinite desire, "Don't move."

Thinking of the dull pain, Zhu Jin didn't dare to move anymore.

The door of the room closed automatically after they entered. When they were at the bedside, Zhu Jin hurriedly stepped away from Huo Jingcheng and reached out to help Huo Jingcheng move from the wheelchair back to the bed.

"Need not."

Huo Jingcheng's hand pressed the switch on the wheelchair, and the wheelchair automatically turned into a powerful mechanical arm, safely returning him to the bed.

Zhu Jin was surprised and couldn't help but sigh that today's technology is so advanced.

"Come up."

The man's tone is undeniably strong.

Zhu Jin suddenly felt that her legs were weak. She knew that in her current situation, all she had to do was hug the man in front of her tightly. She also knew what she should do.

With this in mind, Zhu Jin lay meekly on the empty side of the bed.

Just when Zhu Jin was thinking about whether he should take the initiative to serve the other person, the light on the bedside was turned off, and she was hugged into his arms.

Due to the hugging posture and the difference in body size between the two, Zhu Jin was held in Huo Jingcheng's arms, and his breath was filled with the faint fragrance of the man.

"Two..." Zhu Jin almost bit his tongue and changed his words temporarily, "Husband?"

"sleep."

Brief words without any emotion.

He only plans to hold himself to sleep? No other ideas?

Thoughts were running wildly in Zhu Jin's mind, and she couldn't sleep at all.

"Don't want to sleep? Want to do something else?"

Zhu Jin shook his head and quickly closed his eyes, "No, no, good night, hubby!"

Where Zhu Jin couldn't see her, the man behind her curled his lips calmly.

She became more and more proficient at pronouncing the word "husband".

The lingering sandalwood scent on the woman's body made it rare for Huo Jingcheng to have a good sleep.

When Zhu Jin woke up the next day, the other side of the bed was already empty. It was obvious that Huo Jingcheng had left the villa early.

After Zhu Jin washed up and went downstairs, he saw Assistant Chen sitting in the living room.

After hearing Zhu Jin's footsteps going downstairs, Assistant Chen stood up and stood to one side, "Madam, the second master prepared this for you. He said you will understand what to do after reading it."

Zhu Jin took the file bag from Assistant Chen. There were only two things in the light cowhide bag.

Zhu Jin was stunned for a moment, and then his brows slowly widened.

The Huo family is in chaos now.

There are rumors that Huo Jingcheng was burned and disfigured, and his life is now hanging by a thread, but according to her, the situation is completely different from the rumors.

In the past, she would have definitely not wanted to get involved in this whirlpool, but now that she has entered the situation, she has no way to escape. All she can do is cooperate with Huo Jingcheng. The two of them are now grasshoppers on the same rope.

Or to put it more harshly, she was just a pawn in Huo Jingcheng's hands and could only listen to the other party's orders.

Her eyes were condensed and darkened. Zhu Jin's hand tightened on the leather bag. She nodded, "Okay, I understand. Assistant Chen, please take me back to Zhu's house."
