Chapter 292 You assume I am your husband

"Remember, never forget everything from the past just because you're heartbroken," Mo Mo added when she saw her confusion.

Jiang Ruan looked at him with even more curiosity: "Have you been hurt in love before?"

Mo Mo: "Single to this day, no one can hurt me."

Jiang Ruan asked, "Where did you get these insights from?"

“True strong people prepare for things before they happen.” Mo Mo’s words were measured and calm, without any emotional fluctuation. “I have read countless books, watched countless films, and summarized the experiences of countless people.”

Jiang Ruan glanced at him a few more times.

Mo Mo asked, "If I were a husband, how many points would you give me?"

"I don't know." Jiang Ruan spoke the truth, without giving an evaluation based on her own subjective opinion. "I'm not your wife, so I can't give a score."

"Then let's assume I'm your husband." Mo Mo seemed particularly insistent on this point. "How many points would I get?"

Jiang Ruan looked at him suspiciously: "You have a girl you like?"

Mo Mo: "?"

Jiang Ruan boldly guessed, "Or perhaps it's a boy?"

“You can refuse to answer my question if you don’t want to, but it’s wrong to speculate about the bodyguard’s thoughts.” Mo Mo said seriously, “Since this is your first offense, I won’t hold it against you.”

Jiang Ruan felt for the umpteenth time that Mo Mo's thought process was different from most people's.

Up to now, she doesn't know much about him.

"Where will I stay for the next few days?" Although Mo Mo's thought process was a bit strange, he was able to handle the tasks assigned to him very well.

"The third room on the right on the first floor." Jiang Ruan had already arranged it for him with the housekeeper. "If you need anything, just talk to the housekeeper."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Jiang Ruan hummed in agreement.

Before they had taken two steps, the butler walked towards them, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping himself.

Seeing that he had something to say, Jiang Ruan asked directly, "What is it?"

"There is such a small matter." The butler was as youthful as ever, and his attitude towards Jiang Ruan had remained unchanged from beginning to end. "We used to serve you and President Huo, and everything was based on President Huo's orders. Now..."

The butler paused at this point.

He didn't know what to say.

Asking them directly whether they still need them makes it seem like they don't trust Ms. Jiang.

Putting that aside, it wouldn't be good if something happened later and Miss Jiang felt that they weren't putting her first and were still listening to President Huo.

"Everything as usual, I'll pay your wages from here." Jiang Ruan saw through their thoughts at a glance, "Just a little bit."

"Please speak," the butler said quickly, a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Don't tell Huo Zhizhou about my affairs, and from now on, only listen to me," Jiang Ruan reminded him. "Everything that happened here has nothing to do with Huo Zhizhou."

Butler: "I understand!"

Jiang Ruan nodded: "Mm."

She went upstairs.

She's unlikely to return to Soft Garden, but everyone here has been working here for a long time, and it wouldn't be good to dismiss them just because of her divorce from Huo Zhizhou. Huo Zhizhou got a lot of money in the divorce settlement, enough to cover their salaries.

"Oh, right." She suddenly realized something.

The butler, who was about to share the news with everyone, turned back and said, "Please speak."

“If Huo Zhizhou ever wants you to work for him, you can go there.” Jiang Ruan knew their relationship with Huo Zhizhou. “You are free to come and go as you please, as long as the information doesn’t get mixed up.”

“Mr. Huo doesn’t need us,” the butler said truthfully. “He’s living in a single-level apartment now.”

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

The housekeeper was aware of these things: "Assistant Jiang has taken care of all his needs, including food, clothing, and lodging."

Jiang Ruan suppressed her emotions, hummed in agreement, and went upstairs.

She stayed in the master bedroom for a while, her mind uncontrollably wandering to Huo Zhizhou's current life. Since she met him, several people had been taking care of his daily life.

The housekeeper, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, and several servants, as well as chefs from various cuisines.

He was used to villas and estates surrounded by flowers and plants, and to him, the presence of greenery represented vitality.

Why are you starting to live in single-level apartments now?

It can't be a money issue.

His monthly income is enough to buy a villa.

Just as she was thinking this, she took out her phone to look something up. Before she even opened the browser, she saw a message from Gu Shixi: "Jiang Ruan, do you have time this afternoon?"

Her fingertips twitched slightly: "Yes, but not much."

She needs to review the projects in Jingzhou and neighboring cities, and if possible, write two bid proposals; if she's too busy, she'll only write one.

Gu Shixi quickly replied with a voice message: "Could you please come over when you have some free time? Jiang Yu and I both have things to do this afternoon, could you please watch the house for us for about half an hour?"

"Didn't you say before that you'd call me anytime if anything happened?" Jiang Ruan exposed his clumsy lie.

"But a little unexpected situation has arisen," Gu Shixi explained. "We can resolve it in half an hour at most. Since I signed a contract with you, could you come over?"

Jiang Ruan: "I'll come at three o'clock."

Gu Shixi: "Okay!"

Jiang Ruan closed the dialog box.

Gu Shixi was truly good to Huo Zhizhou. The day she arrived, he signed a contract with her and sold himself without hesitation.

Anyway, it's only for a week; she'll leave after that.

"I agree." Gu Shixi said to Jiang Yu, "You can go and do your work at the company later. I'll have Lin Feng and Lin Bei keep an eye on things here to make sure Jiang Ruan can be alone with Huo Er without being disturbed."

"I still feel uneasy," said Assistant Jiang.

Gu Shixi: "Where is it precarious?"

Assistant Jiang recalled everything that had happened during this time: "Given Miss Jiang's personality, even if she came, she would only sit there with the BOSS for a while, without showing much concern or saying sweet words."

"This is quite normal." After Huo Zhizhou recovered, Gu Shixi's mind gradually returned to normal. "I was worried that she would be showing concern for Huo Er."

Assistant Jiang: "???"

Gu Shixi: "You would be all smiles and pleasantries towards someone who has cheated on you and is still going on about it?"

Just as Assistant Jiang was about to speak, he suddenly realized what had happened between the BOSS and Miss Jiang.

Even if it's done under the guise of love, hurting someone is still hurting them.

“As long as she stays here a little longer each day, we won’t have to worry about Huo Er’s condition.” Gu Shixi was really worried about this. “Her presence is more effective than any medicine or doctor.”

He couldn't understand why the cooling-off period month was so much more serious than the month after the divorce.

Thinking about it carefully, apart from the fact that they got divorced, the only difference was that he moved out of Ruanyuan. There was no trace of Jiang Ruan in his new place, no trace of Jiang Ruan, so much so that he couldn't sleep all night.

No.

He woke up not long after Jiang Ruan arrived yesterday.

“Miss Jiang has left.” Assistant Jiang was more worried than Gu Shixi because he had seen Huo Zhizhou’s condition deteriorate day by day. “Will the BOSS’s condition get even more serious?”

"No," Gu Shixi said firmly. "Don't think of your boss as a rigid robot."

If Jiang Ruan hadn't come this time, his condition might have worsened. But since she did come, Huo Er would find excuses for himself. After all, before yesterday, he forbade Jiang Yu from investigating any information related to Jiang Ruan, but shortly after Jiang Ruan appeared, he started having people investigate.
