Chapter 754 Huo Zhizhou Arrives

"Finished washing?" Huo Zhizhou spoke first, his tone gentle and calm, as if it were just a simple daily greeting.

But Jiang Ruan doesn't think so.

She stood still, her gaze towards him distant: "What are you doing here?"

Huo Zhizhou: "I came here specifically to see you."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan subconsciously looked at where her phone was.

Before she could find it, Huo Zhizhou took it out from behind his back and calmly asked her, "Looking for this?"

Jiang Ruan: "Give it to me."

Huo Zhizhou stood up and walked towards her.

He hadn't taken two steps when Jiang Ruan stopped him: "Put your phone there and get out."

"Okay." Huo Zhizhou put it down.

Then he went out the door.

The entire process was completed without the slightest hesitation or pause.

Jiang Ruan only went to the bedroom after hearing the door close. Once she confirmed that he had really left, she immediately locked the door.

Upstairs, only my mother and her family are there.

The servants would knock on the door if they needed to see her; they wouldn't barge in without permission.

As a result, she didn't have the habit of locking the door.

She dried her hair, changed her clothes, and then picked up her phone to call Mo Mo.

"Boss." Mo Mo's voice was as human as ever.

Jiang Ruan: "Come up here for a moment."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Not long after.

A rustling sound came from the other end of the phone.

That looked like getting up and getting dressed.

"Huo Zhizhou is here." Jiang Ruan said in advance, not knowing what would happen later, "Just in case, wear something that's easy to move in."

Mo Mo: "?"

Mo Mo held the phone up to her face.

No phone calls, no text messages.

"I didn't receive a message from the bodyguards at the door." He said seriously. In order to prevent his ex-husband from sneaking in, he had emphasized to the bodyguards at the villa after he returned that if his ex-husband came, they should stop him and call him first.

"They probably didn't come in through the main entrance," Jiang Ruan guessed.

Mo Mo: "..."

Mo Mo: "I will strengthen security management at the villa."

Jiang Ruan: "Mm."

Mo Mo quickly finished getting ready and came up to knock on the door.

Jiang Ruan opened the door, glanced down the corridor, and then asked, "Where is he?"

Mo Mo: "I didn't see it."

Jiang Ruan subconsciously looked towards Sui Sui's room.

Mo Mo followed her gaze and asked, "Should I invite him out?"

Mo Mo emphasized the word "please" deliberately.

"No need." Jiang Ruan wasn't sure if he had gone to Sui Sui's room. If he hadn't, her going there would have disturbed Sui Sui's rest.

That's what I was thinking.

Suddenly, the door to Sui Sui's room opened, and Huo Zhizhou, wearing only a black shirt, walked out. With broad shoulders and a narrow waist, he looked particularly handsome under the light.

But Jiang Ruan had no interest in appreciating any of this.

She just looked at him, her eyes filled with indifference: "What are you doing here?"

"Look at you." Huo Zhizhou walked towards her.

Jiang Ruan: "I saw it."

Huo Zhizhou nodded slightly: "Mm."

Jiang Ruan: "Then let's go."

Huo Zhizhou: "I'm reluctant to leave."

As he spoke, he walked up to Jiang Ruan, but was blocked by Mo Mo when he was three steps away.

Huo Zhizhou looked at him.

Mo Mo was also looking at him.

Their eyes met.

Neither of them would give way to the other.

"I have something to talk to you about." Huo Zhizhou looked past Mo Mo and at Jiang Ruan behind him.

Jiang Ruan remained unmoved: "What is it?"

Huo Zhizhou glanced at Mo Mo: "It's inconvenient to talk about this with outsiders here."

Jiang Ruan: "Mo Mo is not an outsider."

Huo Zhizhou: "There are some things that, apart from the two of us, everyone else is an outsider."

Jiang Ruan didn't say anything more and told Mo Mo, "See the guest out."

Mo Mo: "Okay."

Just as Mo Mo's hand was about to touch him, Huo Zhizhou said to someone in the shadows, "If you don't take your team members down, your entire salary for this month will be deducted."

"Do you have to be so stingy?" As these words rang out, a tall, rugged-looking man stepped out, exuding an aura of fortitude.

When she saw his face clearly, Mo Mo paused: "Vice Captain?"

Xu Shen looked him up and down and praised, "I didn't realize you looked so handsome in a suit."

Mo Mo didn't speak.

Xu Shen walked over and put his hand on his shoulder: "Come on, come downstairs with me and let's talk about what's been going on lately."

Mo Mo immediately distanced herself from him: "Although you're my vice-captain, we're not in the team right now. If you and your ex-husband don't leave, don't blame me..."

"Smack."

Xu Shen slapped him on the back of the head.

Mo Mo: "?"

Mo Mo covered his head, a hint of confusion on the AI's face: "Why did you hit me?"

Looking at this scene.

Jiang Ruan knew that Huo Zhizhou had come prepared.

She suppressed her emotions and told Mo Mo, "Go down with your deputy captain and have a chat."

Mo Mo subconsciously looked at Huo Zhizhou.

He hadn't forgotten that his ex-husband had sneaked in.

"It's alright, I'll handle it." Jiang Ruan didn't want him to worry. "Go ahead."

Since this person is Mo Mo's vice-captain, he should be quite skilled and intelligent. If a fight breaks out here, it might wake up his sleeping mother and grandfather, so it's not worth it.

Besides, it's not time to confront each other yet.

"Call me if you need anything," Mo Mo said, seeing that she wasn't joking.

Jiang Ruan nodded slightly: "Okay."

Mo Mo maintained his bodyguard posture and was very polite to Xu Shen: "Please."

Xu Shen glanced at him.

Please.

"People in suits are just different," he joked. "They even speak so elegantly."

Mo Mo remained unmoved and led him downstairs.

Not long after.

Only Jiang Ruan and Huo Zhizhou remained in the corridor.

She glanced at Sui Sui's room and then walked towards the study.

As she opened the door, she said to Huo Zhizhou in a very casual tone, "Speak, what is it?"

Huo Zhizhou followed behind her without saying a word.

Jiang Ruan turned to look at him and saw that he was closing the door. Seeing that he hadn't locked it, she didn't interfere.

If it's not closed, any arguments could easily be overheard.

"You only have ten minutes." Jiang Ruan didn't want to waste any more time. "After ten minutes, I'll have Mo Mo come up with bodyguards and ask you to leave..."

"It hurts," Huo Zhizhou said, uttering a single word.

Jiang Ruan didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Huo Zhizhou placed his long, slender, and fair hands on the buttons of his black shirt, slowly and methodically unbuttoning them one by one. Whether intentional or unintentional, his actions left much to the imagination.

Jiang Ruan stared intently, her brows furrowed.

I don't understand what he's trying to do.

"Huo Zhizhou." Fearing he might do something impulsive, Jiang Ruan spoke up after he unbuttoned two buttons, "This is my home. Think about the consequences of your reckless actions."

Huo Zhizhou remained silent, his dark eyes fixed on her, while his hands continued their work.

Just as Jiang Ruan was about to speak again, Huo Zhizhou stopped, his unbuttoned shirt revealing a small patch of skin, the black clothes making him look alluring and sexy.

She looked at him, puzzled.

"Here." Huo Zhizhou lifted his shirt and pointed to the gauze on his abdomen. "It hurts."

Jiang Ruan looked in the direction he was pointing and saw blood seeping through the white gauze.

Looking at that bright red, a feeling welled up inside me for no reason.

But she didn't show it.

She knew Huo Zhizhou all too well what kind of person he was. Once she showed any sympathy or concern for him, he would definitely continue to play these little tricks on her. After several rounds of this, her wound might not even heal for a month.
