Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 189 Her Husband Is Too Good to Her

"Grandpa, did you review the proposal I suggested a few days ago? The pear garden’s location is central, sure, but it’s not part of the government’s key future projects. Instead of tearing down the pear garden to rebuild, why not shift focus to the east? According to the government’s planning map, that area will be the future rising star of the city." As soon as the topic turned to work, Huo Yanting’s playful expression disappeared, replaced by his earnest opinions.

"I’ve carefully reviewed your proposal. It’s very well done. But we still need to secure the pear garden land. Eventually, it will serve its purpose." Old Sir Huo emphasized acquiring the land not simply for strategic reasons; he was testing exactly what kind of feelings his grandson harbored toward Lin Banxia.

If it was genuine emotion, Old Sir Huo would definitely drive that woman away from his grandson.

If it was merely for fun, Old Sir Huo wouldn’t intervene.

Previously, there were endless rumors that Huo Yanting didn’t like women, that he preferred men, and it truly startled Old Sir Huo.

Lin Banxia’s appearance shattered those concerns. Now that there was finally a woman who caught his grandson’s eye, Old Sir Huo decided to allow them to interact for a while.

When Huo Yanting left his grandfather’s office, his brows furrowed slightly. Truthfully, when he promised to protect that little woman’s pear garden, he hadn’t figured out a concrete plan yet. Later, he urgently led his team to create a better proposal and submitted it. Although his grandfather was quite satisfied, it was clear he was unwilling to let go of the pear garden land.

Huo Yanting found himself with a headache. If it had been anyone else, he could have flatly refused.

But this was his grandfather; from childhood to now, he had never let him down in anything.

This time, he feared he might disappoint him.

Huo Anya had been locked up in the police station for over a week. This eldest daughter of the Huo Family had completely turned into a laughingstock.

The audio recording of her drugging someone stirred up heated discussions online, causing her image and reputation to collapse overnight.

Many prominent heirs had been vying for her attention before, but after this incident, all of them disappeared.

Even if some young men still admired Huo Anya’s beauty, their parents no longer considered her a suitable match for their sons.

Huo Anya had been branded with the infamous title of "malicious woman."

There was another incident, overshadowed by the uproar over Huo Anya’s scandal, that seemed less significant.

The noble women who participated in the assault on Lin Banxia all encountered misfortunes over the past week. freewēbnoveℓ.com

Car accidents, kidnappings, significant crises in their husbands’ companies, fights among their children—an endless string of events left this group of Huo Family women shrouded in a cloud of unease, unable to figure out what was happening.

And the most relaxed person had to be Lin Banxia!

After spending three days in the hospital, she returned home to rest for another three days.

Huo Yanting treated her exceptionally well, so much so that Lin Banxia began questioning her own understanding of life.

She and Huo Yanting had an agreement marriage. By rights, there was no love between them, just a mere marriage certificate.

Huo Yanting didn’t need to treat her so kindly. After all, she had agreed to the arrangement purely to protect the pear garden.

But why did Huo Yanting insist on marrying her?

Lin Banxia narrowed her alluring eyes, unable to come up with even a vague answer after a long moment of thought.

She recalled that when Huo Yanting proposed marriage, he had simply said he wanted... wanted a wife. That was all there was to it.

Lin Banxia found this reason far too far-fetched, completely unconvincing.

Thinking about it some more, her brain felt like it was about to short-circuit, so she decided to stop pondering altogether.
