Chapter 89 Can't we even kiss?

"Is he resting, or did he go to see Jiang Ruan?" Su Anran's emotions became somewhat uncontrollable when she thought about the message she received on her phone.

He clearly agreed to make things difficult for Jiang Ruan together, but now everything he's doing is biased towards Jiang Ruan.

Assistant Jiang remained unfazed, his words becoming increasingly formulaic: "The BOSS's private life is not something I, as his assistant, can inquire about."

Su Anran looked at him.

I know he's lying.

Everyone in Jingzhou knows that Jiang Yu is Huo Zhizhou's right-hand man. He was already by Huo Zhizhou's side before Huo Zhizhou took over the Huo Group. Not to mention his private life, he knows everything about Huo Zhizhou's daily arrangements.

"Could you please contact him for me?" Su Anran suppressed her emotions, avoiding direct offense.

Assistant Jiang took out his phone and dialed Huo Zhizhou's number right in front of him.

Hello, the number you dialed is currently switched off.

In case she couldn't hear him, he even turned on the speakerphone: "Turn off."

Su Anran: "..."

How could she not know to turn off her phone?

"Tell him I'm being discharged after he turns on his phone." Su Anran pulled out the IV needle from her hand, lifted the blanket as if to get out of bed, "I don't like being alone in the hospital."

Jiang, the special assistant, stretched out his long arm and stopped her: "The BOSS instructed me to protect you."

After saying this, she called the nurse over to help her re-insert the IV needle.

Su Anran wanted to refuse.

But Assistant Jiang's expression was unreadable. Her intuition told her that if she refused, he would have someone restrain her and stab her. Every time she pulled it out, he would have someone stab her again.

Thinking about this, Su Anran suddenly felt uncertain.

Seeing that she cooperated obediently and did not cause any more trouble, Assistant Jiang's slightly anxious heart relaxed a little: the method taught by President Gu is still the most effective.

Huo Zhizhou, who was still asleep, was unaware of all this. He held Jiang Ruan the whole time and slept for several hours.

During this time, Jiang Ruan tried everything she could but couldn't get out. She didn't dare bite him to make him let go, because if she did that, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't do something he shouldn't.

Given the disparity in strength, she dared not take the risk.

7 PM.

Huo Zhizhou slowly woke up.

When I felt the soft person in my arms, I realized that I was not dreaming. I wanted to sleep a little longer, but then I noticed that it was getting late outside.

It's time for her and Sui Sui to have dinner.

"Let me go when you wake up." Jiang Ruan felt the change in the strength of his embrace.

Huo Zhizhou wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace, burying his head in her neck and gently kissing the back of her ear. His warm breath brushed against her ear, causing Jiang Ruan to tremble all over.

She turned around and wanted to punch him.

But his strength was too great, preventing her from moving around much.

She reached out and placed her hand on his thigh, then pinched him hard with her index finger and thumb.

"Why are you pinching me?" Huo Zhizhou's voice was groggy and deep, just after waking up, but it was so pleasant and addictive. "You've been sleeping in my arms for so long, can't I even give you a kiss?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan couldn't help but retort to him: "Can't you have any shame? If you hadn't been holding me like this, would I be stuck here?"

"Did I arrest him?" Huo Zhizhou asked back.

Jiang Ruan strained her body: "You didn't..."

Before he could finish speaking, the person was freed from his arms.

Huo Zhizhou looked at her indifferently with his dark eyes, as if she was deliberately clinging to him.

Jiang Ruan clenched her fists in anger. Finally, she threw off the covers, stood up, and stepped over him, stomping hard on his thigh!

Huo Zhizhou frowned.

It hurts.

Not satisfied with just that, she crushed it even harder!

Huo Zhizhou's large, strong hand gripped her ankle. The sudden touch made Jiang Ruan instinctively try to pull her foot out of his grasp. After struggling a few times without success, she simply let him hold her and quickly raised her other foot to stomp between his legs.

That angry look and swift, decisive movements made it clear to the person that if they really stepped on him, they would be ruined.

He quickly released her ankle and changed his position.

"Bang!"

Jiang Ruan's foot slipped and landed on the bed with a loud thud.

Huo Zhizhou stared at her fair and rosy feet for a second, then his unreadable gaze fell on her still angry face.

That force.

They really wanted to cripple him.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Ruan felt uneasy under his gaze, but she forced herself to remain calm and retorted, "Who told you to grab things like that?"

Huo Zhizhou didn't say a word, slowly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and walked out of the bedroom.

The more emotionless he seemed, the more anxious Jiang Ruan felt.

At times like these, he's usually thinking about how to get back at them.

“Besides, this is my home.” Jiang Ruan analyzed everything, determined to make Huo Zhizhou feel guilty. “You entered without my permission, which is trespassing and illegal.”

Huo Zhizhou stopped and turned around.

Jiang Ruan's heart tightened, but she remained calm on the surface: "Am I wrong?"

"Since you think you're right," Huo Zhizhou said calmly, but the pressure suddenly increased, "then what are you afraid of?"

Jiang Ruan pursed her red lips.

Huo Zhizhou said, word by word, "Should we call the police?"

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Normally, if something like this happens during the divorce proceedings, the police should be notified. However, Huo Zhizhou has a hundred ways to make the police know that his presence here is reasonable and not illegal.

Calling the police would only put her at a disadvantage again and wouldn't bring her any real benefit.

"If you're not going to report it, give me a cup of water." Huo Zhizhou was not polite at all.

Jiang Ruan knew she couldn't win the argument: "No."

Huo Zhizhou glanced at her without saying a word, picked up his phone which was charging nearby, and pressed the power button. The battery was already full, and several call notifications popped up on the screen, but he didn't answer them. Instead, he subtly sent a message to have dinner delivered.

Not long after.

The bodyguard appeared outside the door carrying a nutritious and delicious meal.

Huo Zhizhou went to Sui Sui's room and called him out for dinner, completely disregarding his status as a guest.

"Uncle Butler will pick you up tomorrow morning," Huo Zhizhou said to Sui Sui after he had almost finished eating, his words carrying the seriousness of a father. "You will be staying at Ruanyuan for the next few days."

Every year, I look towards Jiang Ruan.

Before Jiang Ruan could speak, Huo Zhizhou said, "Your mommy has something to do at her company. She'll pick you up on Thursday after she's done with her work."

Jiang Ruan wanted to ask him why he deliberately arranged the so-called team building and welcoming activities, but considering that Sui Sui was there, she didn't bring up such a topic that might cause an argument.

Dinner is over.

Huo Zhizhou had his bodyguards clear the table.

Just as he was about to spend a little more time with Sui Sui, his phone received a message from Assistant Jiang: "[Boss, are you awake?]"

Huo Zhizhou typed a single word: 【Hmm.】

No sooner had the message been sent than Jiang's assistant received a phone call.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at Jiang Ruan and Sui Sui, then walked to the balcony and swiped to answer the call. His calm voice asked, "What's wrong?"

"Miss Su somehow found out you were with Miss Jiang," Assistant Jiang said truthfully. "She was in a bad mood and didn't eat anything all afternoon."

Huo Zhizhou's eyes were even darker than the night outside: "I understand."
