"Are you okay?" The gentle voice, rich and warm, made Jian Yunong instantly stiffen.
It was a familiar voice, one that had once echoed in her ears every day.
"Nong Nong, when we grow up, I will marry you."
"Nong Nong, we must have a daughter, one as cute as you."
"Nong Nong, promise me you'll never leave me."
But no matter how sweet the memories were, they couldn't compare to the cruelty of reality.
Just as she steadied herself, Jian Yunong immediately left his embrace and returned to Mist Shenshen's side, not having answered him a single word.
"Is he bullying you?" Yi Nansheng looked at President Liang, a hint of bloodthirsty amusement in his smile. "Was it one hand that touched you or two?"
The bodyguard behind Yi Nansheng pressed President Liang to the ground, treating him like a worthless insect.
Jian Yunong pressed her lips tightly together; she didn't want to and couldn't speak to this man. Why had the person who once smiled so warmly in her memories become so terrifying now?
President Liang let out a muffled groan of pain as Yi Nansheng's bodyguard broke his hand.
In the night, there was an unwritten rule against fighting on this territory because the owner of this establishment had deep connections and was involved in both legal and illegal dealings.
Yet the nearby patrolling bodyguards saw what was happening but showed no intention of intervening.
President Liang, who had been driven by lustful intentions, felt despair; he had provoked a significant figure!
Just as President Liang was about to faint, Mist Shenshen finally spoke: "That's enough. We common folks can't compare to someone like you from a wealthy family; we still need to sign a contract with President Liang."
President Liang was finally released, frightened and hurriedly crawled into the private room, signed the contract, and ran away.
"Thank you."
Although it was a thank you, Mist Shenshen did not show much sincerity. "I can't tell; you used to be the one who was bullied, but now that you're angry, even the Night Color boss has to give some face."
She stopped her words because Little Fool was tugging at her skirt.
Jian Yunong, this useless one, was just scared by a scummy ex; how could he be this afraid?
"Auntie, it's too late, and it's unsafe on the road. Let me take you home. Are you still staying at Dynasty Hotel?"
Yi Nansheng's gaze fell on the always hiding Jian Yunong.
Mist Shenshen was tall, and Jian Yunong stood behind her, only showing half of her smooth forehead.
He really wanted to touch her soft hair, to feel her forehead, missing the smoothness and delicacy of Jian Yunong's skin.
A glint flashed in Mist Shenshen's eyes.
Unexpectedly, this kid had quietly figured out all their information. Could it be that he was specifically targeting her family’s Little Fool?
"No need. If this reaches your wife's ears, it wouldn't be good." Mist Shenshen skillfully deflected, "The public security in Nancheng is quite good."
Mist Shenshen pulled Jian Yunong and disappeared at the end of the corridor. Jian Yunong walked quickly without looking back. However, she could feel that gaze piercing her back, closely following her.
Once outside in the night, Jian Yunong didn't dare to delay and immediately pulled Mist Shenshen into the car.
"Look at your potential!" Mist Shenshen scolded Jian Yunong, reeking of alcohol. "Come on, the one who wronged you back then was him, not you! What are you afraid of? What you need to do is stand tall and crush your ex into dust!"
Jian Yunong remained silent as she took the scolding.
Mist Shenshen was formidable; every ex she encountered would submit to her. But Jian Yunong couldn't do that; she felt scared whenever she saw Yi Nansheng!
A month ago, Yi Nansheng had suddenly barged into her life, declaring to her word by word.
"Nong Nong, as long as you come back to me, I can step in to save the Jian Family's mess and even help you reclaim everything from your home."
Come back to him?
It sounded so nice, but it really meant for her to be his mistress!
When she was in A City, Jian Yunong had actually been sent to Yi Nansheng's bed by the Jian Family.
She hadn't lost consciousness; she was just too weak, fully aware of Yi Nansheng approaching her before she vomited.
Yes, Jian Yunong embarrassingly threw up durian.
Yi Nansheng hated that stuff the most and didn't touch Jian Yunong again. He had a cleanliness obsession; how ironic that such a disgusting person had a cleanliness obsession.
During a stop at a traffic light, the driver suddenly clicked his tongue. "That Lamborghini behind us has been following us the whole way. Do you know them?"
Jian Yunong immediately shrank down into her seat.
Mist Shenshen cursed, "What does this married man want? Is it trendy for successful men these days to seek out youthful memories? Why is he so fickle?"
Jian Yunong gently replied, "Aunt, men are actually very devoted. They all like young and beautiful women, regardless of their age."
"Give me your husband's phone number."
Mist Shenshen searched through Jian Yunong's phone for a long time but couldn't find Huo Jincheng's number.
"You didn't save your husband's number, did you?"
Jian Yunong casually said, "Why would I save his number? We're not close."
Mist Shenshen was about to explode with anger. "You two have slept together and even have a child; how are you not close?"
Jian Yunong looked around at the sky, the ground, and the scenery, pretending she couldn't hear.
Fortunately, Mist Shenshen had Huo Jincheng's assistant's number on her phone.
She dialed it and waited for a while before it connected.
The music was loud; it sounded like it was in the nightlife!
"Um, are you with Mr. Huo? I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Our Nong Nong is feeling a bit unwell tonight. Could you send someone to take her to the hospital?"
Jian Yunong almost jumped up, but Mist Shenshen pressed her back down with a hand.
Soon, Mist Shenshen said goodbye in an overly sweet voice.
Jian Yunong was furious; all her pride was gone. Huo Jincheng might mock her later!
"Aunt, how can you do this! When Huo Jincheng arrives, he will know that I lied! He might say that I am playing tricks! What if people find out?"
As soon as the words fell, Jian Yunong received a slap on her forehead.
"A crying child gets milk!"
"I'm not a child; I don't need milk."
Mist Shenshen's temples throbbed, "Why didn't you say anything in front of Yi Nansheng just now? Is it just to deal with your own family? If you could show even a bit of that irritating ability, would it be like this now?"
Although Mist Shenshen claimed to be able to drink endlessly, she had indeed been overindulged today. Feeling uncomfortable, she closed her eyes. Seeing her aunt like this, Jian Yunong felt she was in the wrong and leaned over to massage Mist Shenshen.
The car arrived at the Five-Star Hotel. Mist Shenshen and Jian Yunong got out, and the Lamborghini also came to a stop. Yi Nansheng was in the car and lowered the window to make a gesture at Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong understood the meaning of that gesture: you are mine!
She couldn't help but tremble all over, half from anger and half from fear.
Jian Yunong almost immediately wanted to turn and run away but was stopped by Mist Shenshen.
"Do you want to be bullied like this for the rest of your life? Stand here and wait for Huo Jincheng to come! No matter how many words you say, they won't be as convincing as Huo Jincheng's appearance!"
There were two clusters of flames burning fiercely in Mist Shenshen's eyes.
"Huo Jincheng, is he really that impressive?" Jian Yunong's question amused Mist Shenshen, who was ready for a showdown.
Pfft...
Mist Shenshen laughed uncontrollably, leaning against Jian Yunong, tears streaming from her laughter.
"What kind of man did you marry that you don't even know? Nong Nong, in the entire Z Country, no one dares to offend the Huo Family, especially Huo Jincheng. Do you think Yi Nansheng is doing well now? Ha ha, in front of Huo Jincheng, he might not even have the qualifications to hold his shoes."
Jian Yunong blinked, "Huo Jincheng is so precious, does he really need someone to hold his shoes?"
She shook her head repeatedly, clearly unimpressed.
"Just an example! Just an example! Can you stop being so harsh on your husband!" Mist Shenshen was truly at a loss.
At that moment, a familiar Bentley glided in front of them.
Mist Shenshen began to remind her Little Fool to act like Daiyu and be sweet-tongued...
Jian Yunong interrupted Mist Shenshen's words, chuckling, "You know what? Huo Jincheng is quite considerate; he sent me a doctor directly."
The person who got out of the car was Le Yi, the director of Maria Hospital.
Le Yi didn't walk towards Jian Yunong but instead headed towards Yi Nansheng.
"Honey, what a coincidence."
Yi Nansheng frowned, his lazy posture leaning against the car hood shifting to a standing position.
"What are you doing here?"
Le Yi walked over, linked her arm with his, and then walked side by side in front of Jian Yunong and Mist Shenshen.
The most terrifying scene of that night happened next.
Le Yi, shyly leaning on Yi Nansheng's shoulder like a little bird, said, "I forgot to introduce you all. This is my husband, Yi Nansheng. Honey, this is Jian Yunong, my sister-in-law."
Everyone's expressions became quite subtle, except for Le Yi.
She smiled particularly happily, completely unlike the cold doctor with no expression she was at work. She added, "Huo Jincheng is my brother."
Mist Shenshen felt a strong urge to curse; her first reaction was to check on her niece. Jian Yunong had a soft smile at the corners of her mouth, which seemed particularly fake. But she didn’t seem to notice and suddenly her gaze fell behind Yi Nansheng.
Huo Jincheng had arrived!
Mist Shenshen immediately pushed Jian Yunong, signaling her to go stand by him.
Jian Yunong took a few steps but then stopped to look at him. Huo Jincheng walked over gracefully, the night light casting a glow on his face, making him extraordinarily handsome.
Le Yi cheerfully greeted, "Newlyweds are just different. You sent me to check on my sister-in-law's pregnancy but still came personally."
The night light cast a soft glow; the two of them standing together looked like an affectionate couple from afar.
But the reality was:
"Jian Yunong, have you been drinking?" He looked down and the first thing he said was to scold her. Jian Yunong frowned and replied, "I think you might be the one who’s drunk."
