A dark glint flashed in Huo Yuan Ze's eyes. Then, he slammed her hands and wrists above her head and pressed her against the car window.
This kind of motion usually makes the passive party feel a sense of urgency and shame. As Jiang Xun's chest rose and fell, she lifted her chin and looked at Huo Yuan Ze with a rosy face, like an alluring yet bashful seduction.
"Still dare secretly meet up with other men?" Huo Yuan Ze's voice was a bit hoarse with his desire mixed in it.
Jiang Xun shook her head, "Don't dare."
Huo Yuan Ze stared directly at her. That sharp gaze of his made Jiang Xun's heart throb.
Jiang Xun added another sentence, "I really dare not to."
Huo Yuan Ze pulled her into his embrace and fiercely bit her lips.
Jiang Xun exclaimed in pain, but Huo Yuan Ze completely swallowed her voice.
Jiang Xun's lips were red and swollen from his sucking, licking and biting. Only then did he slowly shift his position and continue to leave his mark down her body. His strength wasn't light and often made Jiang Xun cry out in pain, but he didn't stop, as if he wanted to let her remember this time and learn the lesson.
However, when he glanced up and saw Jiang Xun's eyes flushed, moaning lowly, as if she was about to cry, his heart softened.
"Uncle Huo is not angry anymore?" Jiang Xun cautiously tested.
"What do you think?" Huo Yuan Ze said lightly.
"You're definitely not angry anymore. They say an older husband and younger wife couple is the best. Those older know how to pamper others and Uncle Huo must also love me very much, so you can't bear to get angry with me."
Huo Yuan Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of her remarks. He told her she wasn't allowed to say he was old, yet Jiang Xun kept mentioning it again and again. Huo Yuan Ze was too weakened by her to get angry. "You're the classic example of forgetting the pain after the scar heals and wanting to be taught a lesson again."
Seeing that his tone wasn't angry, Jiang Xun brazenly uttered. "En, isn't Uncle Huo having a reaction? Don't you plan to teach me a lesson?"
Huo Yuan Ze almost didn't throw her off, "I don't know where you learned these from… …"
Jiang Xun fluttered her eyes and placed her hand where it shouldn't be, "Does Uncle Huo not enjoy it?"
Huo Yuan Ze truly wanted to knock her forehead. He pulled her away and said solemnly, "It's still light outside, don't mess around. Get out of the car."
"No, I'm going to Uncle Huo's house."
Huo Yuan Ze let out a low breath, like a helpless sigh, as he released her. Then, he restarted the car and drove the car into the garage of his villa. After he exited the car, he waited for a while, but Jiang Xun didn't get off, so he walked to the other side. When he stretched out his hand to open the door, Jiang Xun was sitting there.
"Uncle Huo, carry me."
Every time like this Huo Yuan Ze felt like he had found a daughter. He could only squat down to let Jiang Xun come up and familiarly carried her up.
...
Although Huo Yuan Ze forgave Jiang Xun, it didn't mean this matter was over. The next day he found Jiang Xun's manager and asked him how he accepted the film for Jiang Xun. The male lead of this play was Xue Zhou and he didn't get any news at all. Presumably the people below didn't know the relationship between Jiang Xun and Xue Zhou, so they didn't tell him.
If he doesn't allow Jiang Xun to make this film, he's afraid Jiang Xun will make a fuss again. Therefore, he simply called the producer of this project. Though Xue Zhou had previously been decided internally, there has been no official proclaimer so it wasn't difficult to directly tell him to change the male lead.
As soon as Huo Yuan Ze spoke up, Xue Zhou received a call the next day saying that after some discussion, the director and producer still felt his image was not suitable for this role, so they had changed to another younger actor to be the male lead. When Xue Zhou's manager learned of it, his face turned blue with anger.
Xue Zhou could guess who was behind the scenes, but he couldn't be sure. The manager quickly had someone to inquire about it, yet didn't obtain any news at all.
The manager's stomach filled with anger. What the producer meant was disdaining Xue Zhou's age and wasn't fit to play this small fresh meat type of role. However, what he said previously was that he had seen Xue Zhou's historical outfit and felt he was extremely suitable, so he took the initiative to negotiate with him.
Xue Zhou didn't expect losing this role was just the beginning. Huo Yuan Ze's approach was much more than that.
The majority of the big orders of Xue's company were only obtained by relying on the Huo Group. Xue Yuan and her ex-husband had settled those before their divorce, but the Huo Group hadn't said anything after the divorce, so those companies didn't change partners and continued to cooperate with the Xue family, which is why the Xue family has always been working hard to maintain a good relationship with the Huo family.
However, it was probably because things had been too peaceful that Xue Zhou forgot about this in the time being. He only reacted that Huo Yuan Ze took action on Xue's company when Xue Yuan called him and told him something happened at home.
In fact, it can't be said he took action. Only as long as he notified the cooperative companies, they will immediately terminate the cooperation with the Xue family. Except for one company that has signed a two-year contract, all the other companies went to talk to Xue Yuan.
The Xue Company has been managed by Xue Yuan, because all the business volume depended on the help of old customers and it didn't take her any extra effort for the company to earn profits of several hundred million a year. Her female president's life was extremely comfortable and she never thought something would happen.
Instantly Xue Yuan panicked. Losing her backbone, she rushed to Xue Zhou to find a solution.
"A Zhou, do you think those companies, wanting to simultaneously stop cooperating, is because of the Huo Company?" Xue Yuan's voice on the phone was a bit anxious.
Xue Zhou froze. He didn't know what to say.
Xue Yuan didn't notice anything wrong with him. She was still talking about her speculations to herself, "Say, do you think Jiang Xun and Huo Yuan Ze really got together? Then, would it have something to do with her?"
Xue Zhou opened his mouth. His throat felt a bit dry and hoarse as he didn't know what to say.
"I think it's possible that she said something to Huo Yuan Ze. A Zhou, what do you say? Has she contacted you recently?" Xue Yuan asked.
Xue Zhou said hesitantly, "Who?"
"Jiang Xun ah, has she been looking for you recently?"
Xue Zhou thought for a while, "No."
On the other end of the phone, Xue Yuan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. However, after a while, she said again. "How about, you contact her and have her ask Huo Yuan Ze for help. Whether this has anything to do with the Huo Company, no matter if there is any relationship, let her talk to Huo Yuan Ze. As long as Huo Yuan Ze is willing to help, it will definitely be resolved."
Xue Zhou's face turned cold as he refused without even thinking, "Didn't you not want me to contact her? Moreover, how can she help with this kind of thing? Will Huo Yuan Ze, that kind of person, listen to her?"
Xue Yuan didn't expect her words would make Xue Zhou this angry. Being retorted back, her face turned extremely ugly.
"A Zhou, what's the matter with you? Are you in a bad mood?" Xue Yuan said awkwardly.
"En, something went wrong, a role previously decided on got changed." Xue Zhou casually found a reason.
"Oh, it's like this... …Then, forget it. I'll think about other ways." Xue Yuan sighed inwardly. Where could she find another way? Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Xue Zhou go find Jiang Xun. She may be one of the few people in this world who wanted Jiang Xun and Xue Zhou to be in contact the most.
Xue Zhou could hear Xue Yuan's dilemma. He hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Can you be sure it's because of the Huo Company?"
Xue Yuan sighed, "Unless the Huo Company speaks up, those companies will not suddenly be like this. One of the project leaders, who has a good relationship with me, quietly told me some inside information, so it's basically certain."
Xue Zhou closed his eyes, as if contemplating.
"I understand, I'll ask her."
Xue Yuan wasn't too happy when she heard Xue Zhou's answer. Instead, she sighed. "It should be better in a few more days."
...
Xue Zhou hesitated for three or four hours before calling Jiang Xun. They kept in contact through WeChat before, so Jiang Xun was taken aback when she saw Xue Zhou's call. She thought Xue Zhou should be able to hold on for a while. Who knows he would come this quickly?
When Jiang Xun answered the phone, Huo Yuan Ze was beside her.
Jiang Xun didn't turn on the speaker mode, but the volume was enough for Huo Yuan Ze to hear.
Listening to Xue Zhou telling Jiang Xun his heartfelt longing, Huo Yuan Ze laughed coldly at Jiang Xun, making Jiang Xun feel a chilling feeling.
"Xiao Xun, are you serious about wanting to be with him?" Xue Zhou seemed unwilling.
Jiang Xun's peripheral vision glanced at Huo Yuan Ze as she quickly replied, "En, very serious."
Huo Yuan Ze's expression improved a bit. Yet, with Xue Zhou, he would never show mercy anymore.
"Really?" Xue Zhou's tone seemed to be in disbelief.
"Yes, Big Brother Xue."
"Is he treating you well?" Xue Zhou asked.
"En, he is." Jiang Xun nodded.
"If... …I didn't miss it, then the person holding you would be me now. Xiao Xun, I regret everything." Xue Zhou's tone was heavy. She didn't know where he was, but his voice was a little strange.
Jiang Xun went silent. Since Huo Yuan Ze was there, she didn't know what to say.
Xue Zhou continued to ask, "If you break up with him or regret it, will you come back to me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuan Ze snatched her phone and helped her hang up.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Jiang Xun exclaimed in surprise.
"Nothing, no need to talk that much nonsense with him." Huo Yuan Ze replied coldly.
Jiang Xun was a little confused with the phone abruptly cut off.
While Xue Zhou was still saying he had missed Jiang Xun for the past two years, as if he hadn't noticed there was no voice on the other end of the phone.
System: "Xue Zhou's affection value has increased. It is now eighty points."
Jiang Xun responded lazily in her heart, and then ate on her food. After this call, Jiang Xun had a feeling that Xue's company was truly going to fall.
Later that night, Jiang Xun went to participate in a live-streaming variety show. Because she had been so popular on the Internet, the host kept cuing to her at every turn.
"Jiang Xun's new album has been released and the sales are quite good, congratulations."
"I heard that not only did you not accept any other films after receiving "Seven Lives", your gap period was also quite long. Did you want to settle down and concentrate on honing your acting skills?"
"Why did you want to act this time? Have you studied it before?"
Regardless of what the host said, Jiang Xun all answered following the guide given to her by her manager. It is best when the answer is ambiguous and vague, but also can't pick any flaws out.
"I also heard that Jiang Xun, you already have a boyfriend, is this true?"
When everyone thought Jiang Xun would not answer straight on, Jiang Xun suddenly smiled at the camera. "It's true."
The audience fell into an uproar. Looking at their expressions, Jiang Xun abruptly felt it was rather fun.
"How long have you been together?" The host asked excitedly.
Jiang Xun thought for a while and then said an accurate time to the exact days. The host was stunned, while the fans in the audience also shrieked. Jiang Xun had an eidetic memory, so she can naturally remember the day when they got together and calculate the days. Yet this action of Jiang Xun undoubtedly attracted even more fans than before.
"Then may I ask who first proposed to be together?"
Jiang Xun smiled happily, "He did."
Huo Yuan Ze, who was watching the show, twitched the corner of his lips when he heard her answer. He never forgot the appearance of Jiang Xun when she first pestered him. That smile of her was pure yet charming, like a contradictory being. She held a fatal attraction. As soon as they met, she took the initiative to pounce forward, making him unable to resist. It was also the first time he let someone into his heart.
"It seems like Jiang Xun has a deep relationship with this one, so he must be watching the show at the moment. Would you like to say something to him through the live broadcast of the show?" The host suggested.
"Okay." Jiang Xun nodded.
Jiang Xun glanced at the camera, as if she could see the person she wanted to see through the lens. She smiled shyly and then said, "I miss you, take me to eat something delicious tonight, love you."
System: "Huo Yuan Ze's affection value is increasing."
System: "Huo Yuan Ze's current affection value has already reached ninety. When the luck of the superb quality son of Heaven has reached ninety, the concentration of luck you obtained will be denser.
Jiang Xun: "My current luck should be almost full now, right?"
Jiang Xun could feel her body was almost surrounded by a warm breath. Her body was full of strength, especially after absorbing Huo Yuan Ze's luck just now, she felt that she couldn't contain any more.
