 Chapter 106: Diamond Flowers and Mr. Huo, the Perfect Combination for Every Woman

Huo Xingjian furrowed his brow but didn’t interrupt. He gestured for Zhang Hui to continue.

“Mr. Huo, haven’t you noticed that recently, your wife and Yu Shu seem to have a closer and more intimate relationship than the one you share with her?”

Huo Xingjian thought about it seriously.

It was indeed true.

The relationship between his sister and wife now resembled that of best friends. But as for him, her husband...

She was always hot and cold, calling him “hubby~” in a sweet tone, while inwardly cursing him as a “dog of a man.”

However, with Yu Shu, she never called her “little sister” or “Yu Shu” with disdain. He never heard her insult Yu Shu once.

Her attitude toward his mother, Mrs. Wen, was far warmer than toward him, her own husband. Let alone toward his grandfather.

In Shen Cheng’s eyes, he, the real husband, seemed like nothing more than an outsider—one she especially disliked.

In the beginning, aside from his grandfather, everyone was on the same starting line! How did it end up that his mom and sister overtook him on the curve, leaving him behind?

“Mr. Huo, now that Yu Shu and your wife have a good relationship, this is a good thing for you!” Zhang Hui continued earnestly. “Yu Shu must want you and your wife to reconcile as soon as possible.”

“Let Yu Shu help you learn about your wife’s preferences, and then you can cater to them.”

“Of course, as a woman, there’s no one who doesn’t like diamonds and flowers. I think while you have Yu Shu help you, you should also take action yourself.”

“You should send your wife a bouquet of flowers every day. Roses, eleven to show you’re devoted. Ninety-nine to represent everlasting love. And of course, if you send her ninety-nine roses, a big bouquet, any woman would be thrilled.”

Huo Xingjian stroked his chin, a smile forming on his face.

Nine hundred and ninety-nine, representing longevity.

Yes, that was a good meaning.

What if he sent nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine roses? Wouldn’t that be even better?

He decided on it.

Since Shen Cheng had been busy preparing for the studio, he was sure she would be very happy to receive ninety-nine hundred and ninety-nine roses.

“You just said that all women like diamonds?” Huo Xingjian looked at Zhang Hui.

Zhang Hui nodded. “Of course! Diamonds symbolize eternity, who wouldn’t like them?”

“I remember there’s an auction at the end of this month, and there’s a pink diamond, right?” Huo Xingjian asked.

“Yes, yes!” Zhang Hui replied.

“You go and bid for it,” Huo Xingjian said in a deep voice. “No, I’ll go myself!”

“Alright,” Zhang Hui nodded, his expression serious. “Mr. Huo, you should take your wife with you. Women love to see their favorite things in person.”

“And of course, there will be competition for the diamond at the auction. You can just throw money at it, and she’ll definitely be happy and thrilled.”

Huo Xingjian felt that Zhang Hui’s suggestion was great, and in his mind, he even envisioned the moment when he would present the pink diamond to Shen Cheng, imagining her excitement as she hugged him, kissing him again and again.

Yes, with this, wouldn’t their relationship improve?

“Mr. Huo, will... will my bonus still be deducted?” Zhang Hui cautiously asked, watching the satisfied smile on his boss's face.

Oh my god, his boss could smile!

He had been working with Mr. Huo for almost ten years, and this was the first time he had ever seen him smile. He always had that ice-cold expression, like a disaffected iceberg!

It turns out, when Mr. Huo smiles, he’s... well... surprisingly approachable!

No wonder his wife is so in love with him. If he were a woman, he’d be attracted too...

"Ah, no, no, no!"

Even if he were a woman, he still couldn't have any feelings for Mr. Huo. He couldn't compete with his wife for the man.

He'd better just stick to being Mr. Huo's assistant, because money was more tempting to him than Mr. Huo.

"No deductions, your bonus this month is doubled," Huo Xingjian said generously.

Zhang Hui was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Huo!"

"Zhang Hui, have you ever chased after many women?" Huo Xingjian asked, staring directly at him.

"No, no, no! I haven't, I haven't!" Zhang Hui quickly denied it, his face full of panic. "My heart is all about work, nothing else!"

He swore to heaven—he was so busy every day, barely having time to breathe, let alone pursue women!

"Then how do you know so much?" Huo Xingjian asked, his expression skeptical.

"Well," Zhang Hui scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "although I’ve never practiced it, I love learning and I read a lot of books!"

"Mr. Huo, trust me, you can't go wrong. Diamonds and flowers are the standard for every woman. Plus, with your handsome appearance, your wife won't be able to resist and will definitely submit to you."

Huo Xingjian looked him up and down again. "If it works, your bonus for this year will double. Now go."

"Got it!" Zhang Hui grinned so widely it seemed his mouth might stretch across his face.

Money! So much money! He was overjoyed.

Suddenly, he had found a new way to make money—please the wife, make her happy, and Mr. Huo would surely raise his salary.

He had decided that after work today, even if it meant staying up all night, he would create a strategy for Mr. Huo to win his wife over.

"Mr. Huo," he said, rushing out of the office only to turn back suddenly, "aren't you going to avoid this? What if Li Qingxue is here to see you...?"

"Are you dead?" Huo Xingjian interrupted him coldly, giving him a sharp look. "Do you think anyone can just walk into my office?"

"No!" Zhang Hui shook his head. "I'm just worried your wife might misunderstand. It's not easy to improve your relationship with her. If Li Qingxue causes things to cool down again, it wouldn't be worth it."

"Just do your job," Huo Xingjian replied with a frosty tone. "Don't worry, she's not here to see me. She's here to see Huo Xinglang."

"Oh, right!" Zhang Hui suddenly remembered something important. "Huo Xinglang has been trying to arrange a meeting with Miss He these past few days."

"Did he manage to get one?" Huo Xingjian asked.

"No."

"Got it, I’ll make an arrangement with Feng Nian later. You go ahead and take care of things." Huo Xingjian waved him off, signaling him to leave.

"Okay!" Zhang Hui left with a smile.

...

Li Qingxue’s car stopped outside Wen’s Group, and she angrily got out and stormed toward the company’s entrance.

But she was stopped by the security guard. "Sorry, miss, who are you looking for?"

Li Qingxue glared at him fiercely. "Don’t you know who I am?"

The security guard shook his head. "Sorry, I don’t know you. But I do know that you’re not an employee of our company. Non-employees are not allowed to enter freely."

"You..." Li Qingxue glared at him harshly. "I’m Li Qingxue. Although I’m not an employee, I can come and go as I please."

She tried to enter, but the security guard stopped her again. "Sorry, you can’t."

"I told you, I’m Li Qingxue! Are you still going to stop me?" Li Qingxue glared at him furiously.

"I don’t care if you’re Li Qingxue, Li Qingxue, or Li Qingxueang. If you’re not an employee, you can't enter! Even if your mother came, the rules would be the same!" the security guard said coldly.

"You..." Li Qingxue gritted her teeth. "I’m here to see Huo Xingjian!"
