He was the dazzling eldest grandson of the Huo family. She was an orphan with nowhere else to go. He didn’t smoke or drink, and he stayed away from anything that could become addictive.
Except that he became addicted to her alone.
After three years together, she suddenly became the wicked woman everyone blamed for breaking up his marriage.
For the sake of responsibility, power, status, and everything he had ever dreamed of, he gradually pushed her out of his world.
Heartbroken, she turned away and entered a brand-new marriage.
He married her older sister, while she married his second younger brother, the Second Master of the Huo family.
From that day on, with their marriage certificate in hand, Second Master Huo kept boosting his wife’s morale as the scumbag man and woman tried every cruel trick in the book against her!
“Second Master, Director Xiao made Madam deliver documents to a client in person. She was so exhausted she didn’t get a moment to catch her breath all morning...”
Second Master Huo paused his pen and looked up with a faint smile. “Go sign the female executives at our company up for a brutal slimming camp. If they can’t lose thirty pounds in a week, we don’t want them. Remember, I’ll cover the cost. Consider it my way of looking after the staff.”
The secretary froze. “But the only female executive at our company is Director Xiao...” Suddenly, the secretary understood. Sir, you really know how to look after people!

“Second Master, Madam has a cold. Director Xiao said she was worried about catching it, so she made Madam move to that office without heating.”
Second Master Huo’s dark eyes narrowed. “Send Director Xiao to work in the lobby downstairs. My wife has a cold, so I’ve obviously caught it too. Director Xiao is so delicate. How could I let her catch it from me?”
The secretary raised a hand to his forehead. “Madam won’t let you abuse your authority for personal reasons...”
Second Master Huo arched a brow. “Then tell her to come up and yell at me. Go make a cup of Banlangen tea and leave it there for her... Oh, right, where did you put my scarf from last time?”
“...” The secretary’s eye twitched. Someone was shamelessly begging for affection!

“Second Master, Director Xiao is pregnant...”
Second Master Huo froze. He didn’t even have a child yet, so how could those two already be expecting? He immediately called his wife to flaunt his lack of shame. “Honey, I heard that scumbag man and that wicked woman are having a baby...”
Her voice came lazily through the phone. “Feeling jealous?”
He nodded furiously. Her voice rang out, unhurried and sweet. “Then go have one with her. I’m sure she’d be delighted to give you a chubby little boy, Second Master...”
“...”
Just as he sat there speechless, rejected by his own wife, another excited woman’s voice came through the phone. “Second Brother, don’t listen to Sister-in-law. I just went to the hospital with her. She’s two months pregnant. You’re going to be a dad!”
He was overjoyed!
He knew it. Those two already had a child, so there was no way he could be that useless!
