Chapter 166 Public Relationship

"She is my wife." Huo Zhizhou's words were calm, but his expression towards Jiang Ruanshi softened. "We are husband and wife."

Xiao Fang: "!!!"

Xiao Fang looked at Jiang Ruan excitedly: "You're actually the president's wife!!"

Huo Zhizhou didn't say anything more. He took Jiang Ruan's suitcase and led her out.

Watching their handsome and beautiful figures disappear into the distance, Xiao Fang was so excited he could hardly contain himself: "I never would have guessed that Jiang Ruan was the boss's wife of the Huo Group! It turns out she really came to Yuanyi to experience life."

Jiang Ruan paused as she reached the door.

A hint of self-mockery flashed across his eyes.

Just as she expected, once this identity was revealed, she would simply experience life.

"Does experiencing life require such strenuous effort?" Xue Qian knew Jiang Ruan cared about this and refuted Xiao Fang's statement, "Don't link personal effort with identity and background."

"If she wasn't here to experience life, what would she be doing here?" Xiao Fang continued, "The Huo Group is so big..."

Jiang Ruan could no longer hear what was said after that.

All she knows is that all her efforts this month were in vain.

All those tough days were for nothing.

Everything came to nothing with a single sentence from Huo Zhizhou.

"Are you hungry?" Huo Zhizhou asked as if nothing had happened. "Would you like someone to bring you some late-night snacks?"

"Do you even have a heart?" Back in the room, Jiang Ruan shook off his hand, her entire being radiating venomous disgust and hatred. "Sui Sui just escaped danger and you're already thinking about this? Didn't you even check if this allergic reaction will cause him any lasting effects..."

Jiang Ruan scolded him a lot.

She vented all the dissatisfaction she had with him.

Huo Zhizhou did not interrupt or refute. He knew that Jiang Ruan needed to vent after this incident. Since it was his fault, he should bear the consequences.

Two minutes later, Jiang Ruan finished her rant.

She was terrified of Sui Sui's situation: "I need to ask for leave and go back to Jingzhou."

No matter how important the job is, it's not as important as Sui Sui's safety. She earns money so that they can live a better life in the future.

“Sui Sui is very healthy. The doctor has checked and there are no aftereffects.” Huo Zhizhou answered all her worries and concerns when she scolded him. “The truth about the allergy will be available in three days at most. Should we go back to summer camp to see him?”

Jiang Ruan stubbornly uttered four words: "I need to ask for leave!"

Huo Zhizhou: "You can make this decision yourself."

Jiang Ruan's anger surged to her head.

Seeing her reaction, Huo Zhizhou quickly replied, "Okay, I'll go back to Jingzhou first thing tomorrow morning. I've approved the leave."

After receiving the results, Jiang Ruan submitted a leave application on the software. She is a very stubborn person, so much so that sometimes people feel that she is inflexible.

Huo Zhizhou received a notification on his phone. He had specially set up Jiang Ruan's leave request to be pushed directly to him, and he approved it.

Just as he was about to say something to her, Jiang Ruan took her phone and went to another room, locking the door behind her. With her back to the door, she sent several messages to Sui Sui.

All of them were words of concern.

He's sleeping now, and calling him would disturb him. She hopes he'll see her concern for him as soon as he wakes up. If it weren't for the fact that tonight's plane tickets were sold out and Haicheng is too far from Jingzhou, she would have rented a car and driven back overnight.

Huo Zhizhou had guessed her behavior.

He called the dean: "Sui Sui is still not awake?"

The dean glanced at the child who was sleeping soundly: "No."

"Are you sure he's perfectly normal now, with no adverse reactions?" Huo Zhizhou asked before making a decision. "And that there won't be any long-term effects?"

"I'm sure, don't worry." The dean's assurance was indeed effective.

Huo Zhizhou hummed in agreement.

Just as the dean was about to say a few words to reassure him and prevent him from worrying too much, Huo Zhizhou said the next thing: "Wake him up."

Dean: "??"

The dean hesitated for a moment: "Wake him up?"

Is that what he meant?

"Call him now." After confirming that he was out of danger, Huo Zhizhou transformed into the doting father who usually bickered with Sui Sui. "After he wakes up, let him see the message Ruan Ruan sent him on his watch."

The dean hesitated, "Really call?"

This is the young master of the Huo Group.

If a child is grumpy when woken up, should he try to soothe them or try to calm them down?

Huo Zhizhou's patience was wearing thin: "I don't want to say the same thing a third time."

"Okay." The dean approached Sui Sui's bedside with a nervous heart. Seeing that the phone call was still on, he tentatively called out, "Young Master, wake up."

"Young Master."

"President Huo wants to see you."

The dean's voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of waking someone up.

Huo Zhizhou frowned and asked him to turn on the speakerphone and turn up the volume before calling Sui Sui himself. Sui Sui woke up from her messy dream after just two calls.

Sui Sui rubbed her sleepy eyes, feeling extremely tired: "What?"

“Call your mom back.” Huo Zhizhou’s thin lips parted slightly, and his voice reached his ears clearly. “She’s very worried about you.”

Sui Sui woke up suddenly.

I opened my eyes and was about to ask why I was worried when I realized that I wasn't at summer camp.

After three minutes of explanation, Sui Sui understood the whole story. He said that in his dream, one moment a giant monster was trying to devour him, and the next a Superman was coming to save him. It turned out that he was going through an allergic reaction at that time.

A moment later.

He called Jiang Ruan.

The mother and son talked on the phone for ten minutes. Only after seeing that Sui Sui was as lively and energetic as ever did she finally feel relieved: "It's getting late, you should rest first. Mommy will be back tomorrow."

Sui Sui tilted her head: "Weren't you on a business trip?"

Jiang Ruan didn't want to burden the child: "It's over early, so we can come back tomorrow."

Sui Sui doesn't believe in this.

It's highly likely that his father orchestrated this business trip; given his personality, he'd only extend the trip, not shorten it.

After hanging up the phone with Jiang Ruan, he sent a voice message to Huo Zhizhou asking this question: "Did Mommy come back early because she was worried about me?"

"Yes." Huo Zhizhou didn't care at all about the burden he might bring him.

“I’m fine now, there’s no need for me to come back.” Sui Sui didn’t want her to worry, and she didn’t want her to rush back and get tired. “You should find a way to keep her here.”

Huo Zhizhou refused: "I can't keep you."

Sui Sui's voice was crisp and clear: "Is there anyone you can't keep?"

"I don't want to upset her anymore." Huo Zhizhou was telling the truth.

The things that happened year after year had pushed her to the limit.

If she is not allowed to go back to see the children at this point, given her personality, she will probably do something that is not in line with her usual behavior.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered, let alone Jiang Ruan, who is rebellious and stubborn and refuses to back down.

Sui Sui: "?"

Sui Sui noticed the key point: "What did you do to Mommy?"

"Adult matters are none of your business. Having a healthy body is the best gift you can give your mother." Huo Zhizhou noticed a slight movement inside and said his closing words, "Go to sleep early, bye."
