Shock! I fell for the paranoid Mr. Huo after he misread my thoughts

next morning

Jiang Muwan stretched lazily. Although she wanted to stay in bed for a while longer, she did not forget that she would go back to the Huo family with Huo Chenchao today.

After all, she was a new bride. Jiang Muwan pulled her hair, which had become a mess after sleeping, struggled to sit up and got out of bed.

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Jiang Muwan saw a straight figure sitting on the sofa through the morning sunlight.

She closed her eyes and rubbed them again before finally opening them completely. The next second, the figure on the sofa became extremely clear.

"Mr. Huo? You're up so early?"

Hearing her voice, Huo Chenchao, who had not slept all night, slowly raised his head. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the woman opposite him burst out laughing.

He couldn't help but frown his sword-like brows and looked at Jiang Muwan in confusion as she was trying hard to suppress her smile.

Being looked at by him like this, Jiang Muwan coughed a few times and said, "Mr. Huo, I'm going to go wash up and change clothes first. Please wait for me."

Jiang Muwan quickly slipped into the bathroom and closed the door.

[I was so scared. I just felt for a moment that the dark circles under my eyes looked very out of place on Huo Chenchao's sharp face. Next time, I must manage my expression well and not behave so rudely again.]

After doing cloze exercises all night, Huo Chenchao finally heard Jiang Muwan's thoughts clearly again. He felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.

It seems that it is not his problem. After controlling the variables, it is most likely that the stupid system is interfering with his hearing.

But what did that woman say just now? Was she laughing at his dark circles?

Huo Chen frowned, stood up and strode towards the full-length mirror in the room. He looked up and saw that there were two very obvious dark circles under his eyes, one on the left and one on the right (●—●), and they were very asymmetrical!!!

Huo Chenchao: "......" How to make the dark circles symmetrical on both sides? Waiting online, pretty urgent.

......

When Jiang Muwan tidied herself up and came out of the bathroom, she saw Huo Chenchao had already dressed and was waiting for her. The only difference from when she went in just now was that Huo Chenchao this time was wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Maybe because he was going back to Huo's house later, Huo Chenchao did not wear a formal suit today. Instead, he changed into casual clothes, put one hand in his pocket, stood there tall, and with this pair of sunglasses, he instantly looked more cool and handsome.

[Hey, who says only women know how to dress up? Men, especially good-looking men, also care about their image.]

Being praised by Jiang Muwan for his good looks again, Huo Chenchao couldn't help but push up his sunglasses, and his ears also turned slightly red.

Somehow he felt a little happy in his heart, and at the same time he became more interested in the few words he didn't hear clearly last night.

So much so that Huo Chenchao was still sending WeChat messages until he got in the car.

@傅庭遇: In medicine, are things in the human body measured in eight or sixteen pieces?

Fu Tingyu: ??? I've only heard of chopping someone into pieces...!!! Holy shit! Are you going to dissect someone? Old Huo, we can't be so impulsive!

Huo Chenchao: ...I'm asking about the literal meaning.

Fu Tingyu: It’s good that I’m not impulsive, but the literal meaning...the most likely literal meaning is...abdominal muscles?

Abdominal muscles? Looking at the reply on the screen, Huo Chenchao thought about it seriously. He seemed to have eight abdominal muscles, but what the hell was sixteen abdominal muscles? Centipede?

This woman actually compared him to a centipede? And that damn author even wrote about how many abdominal muscles he had. He would definitely sue him for invasion of privacy if he had the chance.

Huo Chenchao's attention was focused on his phone, so Jiang Muwan naturally thought he was busy with work. He didn't say a word the whole time and just chatted with his burden.

The two of them drove in silence, each busy with their own things. After about twenty minutes, the car slowly stopped at the Huo family mansion.

Although he has experienced many ups and downs, this is the first time that Jiang Muwan has to face so many people as a "family member", and he can't help but feel a little nervous.

Unlike the Jiang family of three, whether in the original book or through the brief communication with the Huo family in the hospital before, Jiang Muwan could feel the upbringing and kindness in the Huo family's bones.

Noticing her nervousness, Huo Chenchao did not take her into the Huo family's old house immediately, but found an excuse to let her take a break.

"Wait for me here for a moment. I have some official business to discuss with Assistant Lin."

Letting out a sigh, Jiang Muwan nodded gratefully.

It’s not that she is socially phobic, but in the real world, although she has achieved success, her relatives are so unfamiliar to her that they cannot be more unfamiliar.

She also has almost no regular friends, and spends most of her free time reading novels and other hobbies.

Huo Chenchao was talking to Assistant Lin, while Jiang Muwan was standing not far away, getting familiar with the environment of the Huo family mansion.

She looked around, and finally her attention was attracted by a figure busy under the fruit trees outside the mansion.

Although the figure had his back to her, it was not difficult to tell that it was an elderly person who was trying to reach the fruit on the tree with his cane.

Seeing that the old man might fall at any time, Jiang Muwan walked straight forward without hesitation.

"Grandma, do you want to pick fruit from the tree?" Afraid that the old woman couldn't hear him, Jiang Muwan raised his voice a few notches when he spoke.

The old man turned his head and looked at Jiang Muwan for a long time before smiling kindly, "I want to pick the reddest one and bring it back to my old man."

The reddest one? Jiang Muwan looked up at the green fruits on the tree and was a little confused, but she didn't say it out loud. Instead, she followed the direction of the old man's finger and confirmed again, "Is it this one?"

"Yeah," the old man nodded heavily.

After getting the affirmation, Jiang Muwan looked at the tree. The tree was actually not that tall, and she was also wearing flat shoes today.

Thinking of this, she climbed up the tree in two steps, accurately found the location of the fruit, and picked it easily.

She was about to jump down, but she saw Huo Chenchao walking towards her, having finished talking to Assistant Lin at some point.

Thinking that he was probably here to ask her to go in with him, Jiang Muwan jumped nimbly from the tree back to the ground with the fruit in her hand.

She was about to hand the picked fruit to the old lady, but she heard Huo Chenchao's voice at the same time.

"Grandma, why are you here alone? Where is Mrs. Zhang?"
