Chapter 796: Feelings Developed During the Chat

Seeing that Jiang Ruan had closed the study door, Old Master Qin looked at him and said, "You touched Ruan Ruan's head without saying hello. Aren't you afraid Mo Mo will chop your hand off?"

Huo Zhizhou: "Why should we be afraid?"

Old Master Qin: "Mo Mo really dares to cut."

“Yes, I know,” Huo Zhizhou said. “Chopping it up will give us a legitimate reason to beg for food.”

Old Master Qin: "..."

Old Master Qin glanced at him and said, "Li Zhishen learned his shamelessness from you, didn't he?"

Huo Zhizhou: "You'll have to ask him about that."

Old Master Qin snorted coldly.

Li Zhishen used to be shameless, but sometimes he still cared about his reputation.

But after meeting Huo Zhizhou, he became increasingly shameless.

"The method you suggested before doesn't work anymore." Old Master Qin walked slowly with his hands behind his back. "Ruan Ruan just contacted me; she knows we're putting on an act."

"Hmm." Huo Zhizhou wasn't surprised.

He knew his moves wouldn't work the moment the old man and Ruan Ruan came up together.

Old Master Qin: "What do you plan to do next?"

Huo Zhizhou: "What do you mean, what should we do?"

Grandpa Qin: "If we only eat once a week, when will I ever be able to reconcile with that girl?"

Huo Zhizhou: "No rush, there's still plenty of time."

Old Master Qin: "If you knew that several families were eyeing Ruan Ruan, you wouldn't have said that. They plan to introduce the most promising child in their families to Ruan Ruan."

The soft girl's current status and power.

It will attract the attention and covetousness of many people.

Some of them wanted to get a share of the profits through marriage alliances.

"It's just an introduction; Ruan Ruan doesn't like it." Huo Zhizhou possessed the composure befitting a legal wife.

Although he appointed himself as the principal wife.

Old Master Qin didn't hesitate to expose him: "Do you really think she didn't like what she did by deliberately unbuttoning her collar in the study just now?"

Huo Zhizhou: "It's hot."

Old Master Qin: "Do you think I'd believe that?"

Besides seducing soft girls.

He couldn't think of anything else.

This kid seems quite serious most of the time, but he's actually very cunning and scheming.

"The temperature outside is about the same as inside, so why don't you keep it open?" Old Master Qin wanted to expose his pretense.

"You want to see it?" Huo Zhizhou asked.

Old Master Qin: "..."

Huo Zhizhou: "If you have any ideas, I advise you to give up that idea. I don't have a habit of showing this to my elders."

Old Master Qin: "Get out!"

You brat.

He's even less serious than Li Zhishen.

Huo Zhizhou's thin lips curved into a smile, showing that he was in a good mood.

"Go back by yourself, I'm too lazy to see you off." Old Master Qin stopped and pretended to be angry.

"What are we going back for?" Huo Zhizhou said, heading towards the pavilion in the garden. He still had that nonchalant air about him. "Didn't you want to find someone to play chess with? I'll keep you company."

Old Master Qin paused.

Huo Zhizhou: "Let's go."

Grandpa Qin reminded him, "I won't make excuses to send you to those soft girls anymore."

Huo Zhizhou: "Mm."

Old Master Qin: "Then why are you accompanying me?"

Huo Zhizhou: "We've had some good conversations over the past three months, and we've even developed feelings for each other."

Old Master Qin: "Nobody would believe that."

Even so, he still went to the pavilion with Huo Zhizhou.

Originally, his relationship with Huo Zhizhou was just so-so. His understanding of him was limited to the praise and fear he received in the industry, as well as the outrageous things he did to Ruan Ruan.

But for the past three months, he has come twice a week.

Besides spending time with Sui Sui, I also chat with him every time.

After a while, he actually started to admire this guy.

Jiang Ruan, who was upstairs, had a clear view of the situation between the two. Mo Mo, who appeared next to her, asked, "Should I go and beat up my ex-husband in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan: "Why did you hit him?"

Mo Mo said seriously, "He just touched your head, which is disrespectful to you."

"It shouldn't have warranted a fight." Jiang Ruan hadn't expected what happened just now.

For the past three or four months, Huo Zhizhou has been very well-behaved, maintaining a good balance in their interactions.

Whether it's a meal for three once a week or he comes here twice a week, he always behaves appropriately and doesn't deliberately make any intimate gestures.

Their relationship gradually developed into that of friends who could chat.

Or perhaps they could be familiar partners raising their children together year after year.

So much so that she didn't react at first when he suddenly raised his hand to rub her head. Now that she thinks about it, it's highly likely that he did it on purpose when he lay on the sofa and unbuttoned his collar.

"Should we tell the bodyguards at the door to stop people more than twice?" Mo Mo asked.

“No need.” Jiang Ruan no longer views things solely through the lens of romantic love. “As long as Grandpa doesn’t try to force him to stay with me, there’s no need to worry. Grandpa also needs someone to chat with and keep him entertained.”

Whether it's her, her current mother, or Qin Mo and the others.

Everyone is more or less busy during this period.

case.

Work.

They all bumped into each other.

As for Huo Zhizhou, he worked hard in his early years but has now completely given up. Jiang Yu and the others handle the small matters, and he just needs to give a few instructions and make arrangements for the big matters. As a result, he has become the most idle among them.

"Boss." Mo Mo looked at her, his eyes as clear and bright as ever.

Jiang Ruan looked over.

Mo Mo said in a serious tone: "Do you want to rekindle your relationship with your ex-husband?"

Jiang Ruan: "You're overthinking it."

Even though Huo Zhizhou is doing well now and his mentality is gradually returning to normal, no longer as extreme and obsessive as before, she still doesn't dare to take a step into marriage.

Even though Huo Zhizhou apologized and paid the price for everything in the past.

But those things still linger like a knot in her heart, making her forgive them every time she thinks about them.

She acknowledged that Huo Zhizhou was now outstanding, with normal values, excellent looks, outstanding abilities, and unique vision, but the events of a year ago could not be ignored.

“I recently heard something,” Mo Mo said.

Jiang Ruan: "What?"

Mo Mo: "My ex-husband transferred all his assets to your name in various ways, including but not limited to company shares, real estate, and everything else."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan frowned slightly: "Where did you hear that?"

Mo Mo honestly replied, "Last time I went to get something done, I saw them working on it, so I pretended to be one of my ex-husband's people and asked how it was going. They said they had finished more than half of it."

Jiang Ruan's eyes were calm.

This is something Huo Zhizhou is capable of doing.

Without her signature and consent, many things would involve many more procedures and formalities, and completing more than half of them would mean that it had already started several months ago.

Let's calculate the time.

It was after he returned from abroad.

She followed her gaze to the window and saw that Huo Zhizhou was still with her grandfather. She started walking towards the door.

Since they were not husband and wife, she could not accept these things from him.

If it's compensation, he already gave enough during the divorce.

Huo Zhizhou was unaware that this matter had been inadvertently exposed. He was still playing chess with Grandpa Qin. His chess style was unique; he didn't make any sharp, aggressive moves, nor was he very conservative.

It's like playing the whole game carelessly.

The loser is the kind of person who takes a while to realize what's happening.
