I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds

Huo Ce seemed to be very satisfied with Ning Wan’s reaction. He patted Huo Yuan’s head and said to the two of them, “I don’t object to you playing, but you’re not allowed to lie or do anything dangerous. Teach him something serious.”

[Are these words for me?]

Ning Wan could not help but mutter in her heart.

Huo Ce glanced at her. His gaze seemed to say, “What do you think?”

Ning Wan lowered her eyes.

Huo Yuan was still very happy. For some reason, he liked the current atmosphere at home.

Ning Wan felt that this Huo Ce was very strange. She had to be careful with her words and actions. At this moment, she wished she could become as obedient as air.

Breakfast was a buffet and was very sumptuous.

Ning Wan brought a nutritious breakfast to the two of them before choosing her own. When she turned around, she saw that a great beauty was already sitting beside Huo Ce.

The beauty waved at her. “Ning Wan, come and sit.”

Ning Wan frowned. This was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xin.

Speaking of which, Huo Ce and Lin Xin could be said to be of equal social status. The two of them were still childhood sweethearts, but they did not become husband and wife.

Even Ning Wan felt that it was a pity for them as a bystander.

Lin Xin was not a “rice worm” like her. She was also a strong woman who could lead the Lin Corporation. This made her even more compatible with Huo Ce.

Unlike the women in the city who were thinking about Huo Ce, Lin Xin never felt that the wife Huo Ce married would hinder her relationship with him.

She appeared openly beside Huo Ce.

Just like now, they naturally looked like a family of three from afar.

In the two years that she had worked hard to establish the persona of a “good wife”, it was not as if Ning Wan had never touched a wall with Miss Lin. However, Miss Lin’s schemes were not ordinary. She could always send the “dumb” Young Madam Huo away with just a few moves, making her a laughing stock.

Miss Lin had also contributed greatly to Ning Wan’s good reputation of loving the man but not his money. Therefore, on the surface, Ning Wan was very afraid of this Miss Lin, but she was actually quite grateful for her help.

Of course, Miss Lin did not think so.

In her eyes, Ning Wan was just a higher-level servant of the Huo family.

Ning Wan carried the plate over and sat down. “Hello, Miss Lin.”

Lin Xin nodded lightly and continued the topic with Huo Ce. “Han Chi showed me the acquisition plan. I have a few different opinions. I’ll email them to you later!”

Huo Ce ate his breakfast slowly and hummed softly. Then, he placed a piece of cod on Ning Wan’s plate.

Lin Xin was stunned, and Ning Wan was dumbfounded.

However, Huo Ce still did not look at Lin Xin. “I know what you are against. Don’t worry, I have a way to deal with it. If you’re too worried, you can choose not to follow.”

Lin Xin raised her eyebrows. “So you have a foolproof plan? Then I’m willing to hear the details.”

She ignored Huo Ce’s actions just now and carefully peeled a prawn and placed it on Huo Yuan’s plate. She looked naturally like Huo Yuan’s mother.

Ning Wan was pouring water for Huo Yuan when Lin Xin took the glass of water and took a sip. She handed the milk in front of her to Huo Yuan and said, “Children have to drink milk in the morning to ensure the supply of high-quality protein. Only then can you grow strong.”

Then, she smiled lovingly at Huo Yuan.

Ning Wan was used to Miss Lin stealing the limelight. She knew that she could not compare to her and could not be bothered with her.

However, Huo Yuan pushed the glass of milk away. “Young Aunt, I want some water.”

Ning Wan quickly poured another glass of water and handed it to Huo Yuan.

[Sigh, show some sincerity to like him if you want to be Huo Yuan’s stepmother, I really don’t know how to help you.]

She raised her hand and wiped Huo Yuan’s mouth with a tissue.

[Poor little Huo Yuan. Everyone wants to be your stepmother, but no one is willing to love you. Sigh! What a sad life for this child.]

Huo Ce looked at her blankly.

He had never noticed the undercurrents between the women around him. He did not care about these things because it had nothing to do with him. The tricks between those women were not worth his attention.

However, just now, Ning Wan’s “inner voice” made him see Huo Yuan’s situation. Of course, Ning Wan’s situation too.

So, the human heart was so unpredictable.
