The next morning, sunlight poured into the room through the window.

Lin Wanwan slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in Huo Jingchen's arms.

Her face turned slightly red and she wanted to get up, but Huo Jingchen held her tightly.

"Sleep a little longer." Huo Jingchen's voice was lazily voiced.

Lin Wanwan had no choice but to lie back down. After a while, Huo Jingchen also woke up. He looked at Lin Wanwan with tenderness in his eyes.

"Is your stomach still hurting?" Huo Jingchen asked with concern.

Lin Wanwan shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore." Huo Jingchen felt relieved.

He got up, put on his clothes, and then said to Lin Wanwan, "I'll ask someone to bring breakfast over."

Lin Wanwan looked at his back and felt inexplicably moved.

She began to think about her feelings for Huo Jingchen, and whether she should bravely take that step to pursue the happiness she longed for.

When Huo Jingchen came back with breakfast, Lin Wanwan was still in a daze.

Huo Jingchen walked up to her and tapped her head gently: "What are you thinking about? You are so absorbed in it."

Lin Wanwan came back to her senses and smiled awkwardly: "Nothing."

Huo Jingchen put breakfast on the table, then pulled Lin Wanwan to the table and sat down.

"Eat it. It won't taste good if it gets cold."

Lin Wanwan looked at the sumptuous breakfast in front of her and her heart was filled with warmth.

She ate her breakfast in silence, thinking about how to ask him.

After breakfast, Huo Jingchen said to Lin Wanwan: "I'm going to the company, you have a good rest at home."

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan quickly stood up and said, "Jing Chen, wait a moment."

Huo Jingchen stopped and turned to look at Lin Wanwan.

"I promised to give you a gift last time. I've already prepared it. Wait a moment. I'll go back to my room and get it."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanwan quickly returned to her room.

After a while, she took out an exquisite box and handed it to Huo Jingchen.

"Open it and take a look!"

Hearing this, Huo Jingchen opened the box with great anticipation, and found a string of Buddhist beads and an exquisite sachet inside.

"When I first met you, you were holding a string of Buddhist beads in your hand. I thought you must like wearing Buddhist beads very much. So, I made a string for you myself, although it is not as precious as your Buddhist beads..."

Before Lin Wanwan could finish her words, Huo Jingchen raised his head and looked at her with joy, "Wanwan, I like you very much."

Now, it was Lin Wanwan’s turn to be dumbfounded. He said he liked it?

Huo Jingchen's eyes became deep: "This is the most precious gift I have ever received."

Lin Wanwan's heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and a blush appeared on her face.

"Do you really like it? I was worried that you might find it too simple."

Huo Jingchen gently held Lin Wanwan's hand, his eyes extremely serious.

"This is a gift you prepared for me with all your heart. How can it be so shabby? It is more precious than anything I own."

Lin Wanwan felt the warmth of Huo Jingchen's palm, and her heart seemed to be injected with a warm current.

"What about this sachet? It contains some spices that can help calm your nerves. I hope it can help you relieve fatigue when you are busy at work."

Huo Jingchen picked up the sachet and looked at the words "Peace and Joy" embroidered on it. He couldn't help but put it to his nose and sniffed it gently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"I didn't expect Wanwan to be so considerate. She knows I've been busy with work lately."

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly. "I just want to do something for you."

Huo Jingchen looked at the shy Lin Wanwan in front of him, his heart filled with tenderness.

"When I come back in the evening, I'll take you out for dinner."

After saying this, he turned and left, with a hint of briskness in his steps.

Lin Wanwan looked at Huo Jingchen's departing back, her heart full of anticipation. Was he going to go on a date with her alone?

Just as Lin Wanwan fell into deep thought, Mrs. Huo walked in.

She looked at Lin Wanwan and a relieved smile appeared on her face.

"Wanwan, how did you sleep last night?" asked Mrs. Huo.

Lin Wanwan's face turned slightly red, not knowing how to answer.

Mrs. Huo seemed to notice her embarrassment and said with a smile: "I just saw Jing Chen go out with a happy face. It seems that you got along very well last night."

Hearing this, Lin Wanwan couldn't help but lower her head, her cheeks slightly flushed.

At this time, Mrs. Huo continued, "Jing Chen has never been in a relationship, so he is not good at relationships. Wan Wan, he is sometimes too stubborn, but he has a good heart. You should understand him more."

Lin Wanwan nodded: "Mom, I know."

Mrs. Huo walked up to Lin Wanwan and held her hand: "Wanwan, I can see that Jing Chen has feelings for you. Don't feel inferior because of your background. You are a kind and brave girl, and you deserve to be loved."

Lin Wanwan was deeply moved after hearing what Mrs. Huo said.

She knew that Mrs. Huo sincerely hoped that she and Huo Jingchen could be happy.

"Mom, thank you." Lin Wanwan said gratefully.

Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Don't thank me. As long as you are fine, I will be relieved."

After saying that, Mrs. Huo stood up and left the room.

Lin Wanwan sat on the bed, thinking about what Mrs. Huo said.

She decided not to avoid her feelings anymore and to bravely pursue her own happiness.

She believed that as long as she and Huo Jingchen loved each other, they would be able to overcome all difficulties.

Soon, the photo of the marriage certificate posted by Mrs. Huo was posted online.

Suddenly, everyone in Kyoto knew that their Buddhist prince of the Beijing circle had gotten married, but they didn’t know who was so lucky to become Huo Jingchen’s wife.

Rumors were rife on the Internet, with people speculating who Huo Jingchen's wife was. Some said she must be the daughter of a wealthy family, a marriage between two wealthy families, a powerful alliance.

Some people also said that Mrs. Huo came from a wealthy family and was really marrying up.

In short, no one could believe that the prince of Beijing circle was secretly married.

Huo Group.

As soon as Huo Jingchen arrived at the company, he found that something was wrong with his employees. They looked at him in a strange way and even discussed him in a low voice in private. As soon as he arrived, they immediately fell silent.

Finally, Huo Jingchen couldn't stand it anymore and called Chen Bo to the president's office.

"Assistant Chen, can you explain to me why everyone is looking at me in such strange eyes today?"

"Master Huo, you don't know that yet? You are on the hot search again."

Hearing this, Huo Jingchen frowned slightly, "Why this time?"

"Somehow your secret marriage was exposed, and even the marriage certificate was posted."

At this point, Chen Bo paused, "Also, netizens also took photos of you accompanying your wife to a prenatal checkup. They are all speculating whether you got married because you were pregnant."

Hearing this, Huo Jingchen couldn't help but put his hands on his hips, with a flash of anger in his eyes, "Who leaked it? Also, do those photos on the Internet show Wanwan's face?"

"Boss, don't worry. They only captured the young lady's back and your profile. They don't know yet that the young lady is Lin Wanwan."

Huo Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, then his eyes became stern: "Go and find out who leaked the news immediately. I don't want something like this to happen again. Also, find a way to suppress the hot search."

Chen Bo lowered his head and whispered, "CEO, the photo of the marriage certificate was leaked from your wife's circle of friends. I don't know who censored it and posted it online. That's how the news of your secret marriage spread."
