Shock! I fell for the paranoid Mr. Huo after he misread my thoughts

Chapter 152: Stingy Mr. Huo

Huo's Study

Because it was the weekend, Huo Chenchao and Jiang Muwan both worked from home.

Huo Chenchao was reviewing documents, while Jiang Muwan was sitting at the small desk next to him continuing to complete the preparations for the bidding project.

Jiang Muwan had her own ideas and plans for the bidding project, so Huo Chenchao had always been with her but never took the initiative to interfere in her work. But this time, when looking at the screen full of male stars on Jiang Muwan's computer, President Huo could no longer sit still.

"Mrs. Huo, I have to remind you that you have been staring at your computer screen for two hours and thirteen minutes!"

"Oh! I know. I'll go look out later. This is my first time doing a beauty pageant and I'm not used to it. It took me a long time to pick out three candidates!"

Huo Chenchao: "......" So she picked three, and she thought it was too little? What is a beauty pageant? Is she praising these young boys in front of him?

The more he thought about it, the more jealous he became. Huo Chenchao simply stretched out his arms and picked Jiang Muwan up from her seat, then held her and sat her on his lap.

"Ugh?"

Jiang Muwan only had time to exclaim in surprise, and the next second he had moved to another place.

"Mrs. Huo, why didn't I know you were so patient at work? Two hours and thirteen minutes, no, it should be two hours and fourteen minutes now, and you haven't even looked away?"

Jiang Muwan: "..." The smell of acetic acid that hit her face, and the time calculation that was almost accurate to the second, if she didn't understand what was going on, she would be Mrs. Huo in vain.

"Hehe!" Jiang Muwan skillfully stroked President Huo's hair with his hand and moved closer to him. "I'm used to seeing top-notch faces, so I'm a little face-blind when I see other people. I sent the pictures to Sister Yuan and Xiaojia directly after I made my selection. I don't even remember which one I chose."

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Because this project was jointly planned by the Huo and Jiang families, there were a lot of people who signed up for the auditions. However, due to the age limit, most of the people who finally succeeded in registering were new faces. Without looking at the photos, Jiang Muwan had no idea who they were.

Looking at the sincere look of the girl in his arms, Huo Chen said to her, "......." This little girl was quick to react and knew what she wanted to hear. Every time in front of her, he couldn't keep a "stern face" for more than a minute. He was really dominated by her in his life.

Raising his hand and touching her little head, Huo Chenchao picked her up and stood in front of the French window in the study, so that he could look into the distance with her, and she could also accompany him to relax.

Looking at the falling leaves outside the window, Jiang Muwan reached out and fiddled with Huo Chenchao's big hand around her waist. "Huo Chenchao, when winter comes, let's go to Bincheng to see the snow, okay? Oh! It would be great if the snowman could stay melted. Then I'll make a snowman of you, and then a snowman of me. Oh, and then a snowman of Huo Cuihua, and... put it in that place so you can see it when you look up."

"Okay, let's go to Bincheng." Huo Chenchao nodded gently in response to her words, but in his mind he was still thinking about how to make a snowman for her that would not melt.

Even though he knew that this might just be Jiang Muwan's sudden whim, and that unmelting ice and snow did not exist except in fairy tale worlds, he still wanted to give it a try, to try to fulfill all her wishes and give her a fairy tale world.

"Knock, knock, knock." A few minutes later, one long and two short knocks on the door were heard, breaking the warm atmosphere between the two.

Hearing the knock on the door, Huo Chenchao frowned slightly and took Jiang Muwan back to his seat.

When Huo Chenchao stood up, Jiang Muwan raised her hand and grabbed his sleeve. "Huo Chenchao, is it someone from the company who came to report business to you? Then I'd better go out first!"

Judging from this unique way of knocking on the door, Jiang Muwan could be sure that the person outside was not Huo's father or Mrs. Huo, let alone Huo Chenxi. So the person who could enter the Huo family and come up to the study could only be Huo Chenchao's right-hand man.

Although she and Huo Chenchao are husband and wife, if someone comes to report official business to him, she should still avoid it first for both moral and legal reasons.

But just as Jiang Muwan was about to stand up, Huo Chenchao pushed her back to her seat. "No need. Although the person who came is indeed my confidant, I never discuss business matters with him. Besides, you are Mrs. Huo. There is nothing you need to avoid."

"Yeah," he said. Jiang Muwan stopped being pretentious with him and sat back in his seat quietly.

"Good boy." Looking at her, Huo Chenchao smiled and turned his gaze to the door. "Come in."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the study was slowly pushed open and a black figure walked in.

Black and mysterious were Jiang Muwan’s first impression of the visitor.

The black figure walked in front of Huo Chenchao and slowly took off his hat, revealing his bangs and soft facial features.

Yes, gentle, even boyish, in stark contrast to the mysterious and serious aura he had when he first came in.

The young man stood respectfully in front of Huo Chenchao, and then placed the documents in his hand on the desk in front of him.

"Boss Huo, the investigation results of what you asked me to do before are all here. I didn't ask anyone else to handle this information."

“Well, you did a great job.”

In response to his compliment, the young man smiled faintly and said, "Boss Huo, there is one more thing. The other party has already started investigating me and seems to want to find out something about me."

The other party? Bo Jinzhi? Does this mean he is not going to hide his true intentions anymore?

Huo Chen tapped his fingers lightly on the desk, then looked indifferently at the boy opposite him and said, "If he wants to check, let him check until he is satisfied."

Having followed Huo Chenchao for more than ten years, the young man opposite him only paused for a few seconds and then immediately understood, "I understand, Mr. Huo, I'll take my leave first."

After Huo Chenchao nodded in agreement, the young man disappeared from the study and the entire Huo family's old house.

Jiang Muwan was in a daze throughout the whole process: "..." Haha, no wonder Mr. Huo is the big president. His work report is like a riddle. Most people can't understand it, let alone stealing high-level secrets.

"His name is Shadow. He was the one who investigated Lu Zhixing's case. Due to the nature of his work, no one has ever seen his true face except you and me."

As if he knew what Jiang Muwan was thinking, Huo Chenchao slowly explained.

When it comes to investigating Lu Zhixing, Jiang Muwan naturally knows the identity of this young man. Shadow, this name really suits his style of doing things.

"So he's here to give you the investigation materials this time too?"

"Yeah." Huo Chenchao looked at Jiang Muwan and nodded. "The information this time is of great importance. Only he can make this trip."

Is it a serious matter? Jiang Muwan looked at Huo Chenchao, then at the document on the table. Thinking of Huo Chenchao's insistence that she stay, Jiang Muwan looked up at him again.

"This time... is it related to me?"

"Hmm." Huo Chenchao took out one of the documents and handed it to Jiang Muwan. "Wanwan, there is one thing Jiang Wenyuan should have never told you. Twenty years ago, in the kidnapping case that shocked the entire imperial capital, you were one of the children who disappeared at that time."
