Chapter 498

Huo Jingyan's expression suddenly turned cold.

Zhao Li understood her daughter best; once she had made up her mind about something, no one could change it.

It was this stubborn temper that was exactly the same as her husband's.

"But... you are so tired from work every day, how can you prepare for pregnancy?" Zhao Li did not give up and still tried to persuade her.

Besides, since her son-in-law had come to her, it meant he did not want Nannan to work as an assistant for a celebrity.

And that celebrity was a male celebrity, at that.

At the very least, it must not affect the relationship between the two children; she keenly sensed that the two children seemed to have encountered some problems, as Nannan had been particularly proactive about preparing for pregnancy before, but now she was not in a hurry.

Jiang Nannan looked at Huo Jingyan, and seeing Huo Jingyan's inscrutable expression, she felt a sudden tightness in her heart, then looked at her mother again.

"Huo Jingyan is also very busy every day, why doesn't Mom talk about him? Can we not be so double-standard? Everyone has to go through working, but I haven't seen it delay anyone from having children. I didn't get pregnant when I wasn't working, so maybe I'll get pregnant now that I am working. It won't be too late to resign once I'm pregnant. Let's not talk about this anymore, Mom."

Zhao Li sighed and said nothing more.

After seeing Zhao Li off, Jiang Nannan immediately said to Huo Jingyan, "Did you call Mom over to force me to resign? Huo Jingyan, can you not be so selfish? You can be busy from morning till night every day and not come home for a month or two, and I support you. But why do you have to stop me from pursuing the work I love?"

"This job is not suitable for you. Nannan, be good, quit this job; you can choose to apply to any other company." Huo Jingyan felt as if a stone were pressing on his chest, but he remained emotionally stable and persuaded her in a gentle tone.

Jiang Nannan's eyes turned red, and she shook her head decisively, "No, I will not quit my job."

Huo Jingyan's eyes were dark, and his lips were slightly pursed.

Jiang Nannan knew he was angry, but she absolutely could not back down.

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment.

Neither of them spoke again.

It was so long that for a moment, she thought she couldn't hold on anymore and was about to compromise.

Fortunately, she persisted with a firm will.

In the end, Huo Jingyan compromised, "Resign once you are pregnant."

Jiang Nannan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to hug Huo Jingyan, "Husband, I knew you were the best person in the world to me!"

Huo Jingyan's cold, rigid face softened as he hugged Jiang Nannan, "Go take a shower."

Jiang Nannan's face could not stop blushing, "You go first; I just finished eating and want to rest for a bit before washing up."

"Okay."

While Huo Jingyan went to the bathroom to shower, Jiang Nannan rummaged for some particularly sexy pajamas she had bought before.

After buying them a month or two ago, they could finally be put to use.

After things were finished later, she would have a frank talk with him, hoping he would voluntarily tell her why he had lied to her.

Just as Jiang Nannan was preparing to go to the guest bedroom bathroom to shower, a WeChat notification for a friend request suddenly appeared on her phone.

She clicked it open casually.

It was someone she didn't know.

Just as she was about to click reject, she accidentally clicked accept.

Forget it.

Maybe it was a staff member from Sheng An Studio adding her; it was a good thing she hadn't rejected it by mistake just now, as she had almost forgotten that she now had a job and needed to socialize.

Just as she was about to go shower, Sheng An suddenly called.

"Are you busy tonight? I was suddenly notified that there are two night scenes tonight."

"Ah?" Jiang Nannan was surprised; was it such a coincidence?

Sheng An heard Jiang Nannan's surprise, "Are you busy? If you are, I'll have the studio arrange for someone else."

Jiang Nannan immediately said, "No, no, I'll be there right now!"

After all, she had just started working and could not neglect her duties!

She immediately changed her clothes and waited in front of the bathroom for a few minutes.

Huo Jingyan came out of the bathroom.

Seeing Jiang Nannan, who had changed out of her loungewear and into her clothes, he raised an eyebrow, "Going out?"

Jiang Nannan smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Sheng Laoshi was suddenly notified of two night scenes, so I must go. I can't accompany you tonight, but I'll make it up to you tomorrow!"

Huo Jingyan's expression was incomparably cold as he looked at Jiang Nannan with a chilling gaze.

Jiang Nannan felt her scalp tingle from the look.
