and spoke softly, "The Ho family might be inherited by our children in the future, but Xīa is what I leave for you! I'll have professional managers involved in the operations, and Zhang, the secretar...Huo Jiao fell silent for a moment.

She said, "I don't blame you!"

But these words did not comfort Jiang Lan. His voice, rough from sleepless nights and smoking, was hoarse as he said, “ Huo Jiao, you don’t blame me, but I feel even worse! This means you don’t see me as your husband.”

He paused, then asked her, "Do you still love me"

Ho Jiao had just gotten off the plane, and she was actually very tired. She really didn't want to deal with him.

But she still answered his questions seriously.

She said, “You still love me, right But Jiang Lan listened… Love fades with time. I can’t guarantee that I’ll always love you. Maybe it's best if we both take some time to cool down and think about our marriage rationally.”

Before that, she also thought their marriage was fine.

But a month passed, and her husband was still busy, still avoiding their married life.

She just knew something was wrong between them.

Jiang Lan's personality, if you put it nicely, is perfectionism. If you put it harshly, it's being nitpicky or stubborn... He couldn't blame Song Qingqing for dying, so Huo Jiao became the problem.

He's been giving her the cold shoulder, probably because he hasn't figured out how to handle her.

So, she handled herself.

She threw herself abroad, hoping that six months would be enough time for both of them to figure things out and make the most right decision...

She made it clear, and Jiang Lan wasn't stupid either.

He thought for a moment and said, "Adjust to the time difference first! I'll go see you as soon as I finish my current work."

Huo Jiao Ting smiled faintly.

She hung up the phone, leaned back against the leather seat for a nap. At this moment, she actually missed being single... Actually, Jiang Lan regretted it too, she did a little bit as well.

When we got married, it was too impulsive.

She's always been free-spirited, and quickly immersed herself in work. As for the role she's playing, it required a lot of effort, since there were many other actors vying for the part as well...and the conditions on set are pretty good.

If she can't do it, B-roll is ready to step in.

Huo Jiao has action scenes, she trained in martial arts for a month, the director praised her talent and said if she really wants to enter the international film market, there is a good chance she could develop into an international star like Liu Yuling.

Ho Jiao doesn't have much of a career drive, but she's also very happy.

She just hadn't expected that right when it was time to start filming officially, she discovered she was pregnant... It had happened the night before they left, with Jiang Lan.

She now faces two choices.

...don't force children to choose between their careers and having a family, or make them have to give up the roles they've fought hard to achieve....

Huo Jiao had made a decision.

But she still called Jiang Lan first to hear what he had to say. He was coming over to see her this weekend, and she wanted to tell him the news beforehand. Perhaps their marriage would be improved by this child, and their relationship could become closer.

They are not young anymore, and naturally they would have children.

Jiang Lan took the call.

He thought Huo Jiao was talking about going abroad on the weekend, so he apologized first and patiently coaxed her: “This week might not work! There are some problems with the project at hand, I have to go out on a business trip… Huo Jiao, how about next week”

"Are you really free next week"

Before he could answer, she felt the need to tell him about her child. She wasn't being overly sensitive.

Just then Anna walked into the office. Jiang Lan whispered, "Let's talk later! I have a meeting now!"

"Huo Jiao couldn't help getting angry: "Jiang Lan, can you not even give me a moment to speak"

Jiang Lan listened while discussing the meeting with Anna, it sounded very urgent.

Huo Jiao held her phone tightly, her whole body freezing cold.

For about a minute, Jiang Lan listened on the phone while it remained on his desk, but he was gone… Huo Jiao hung up the phone quietly over there.le duck she bought last time, it was still in the car.Just about to get dressed and go get it,Suddenly, she saw a file in the corner of the drawer.Ho Xi wasn't a nosy person, but the contents of the f...
