"Um?"
Suddenly, a box was stuffed into her arms.
It was filled with delicate and cute little trinkets, all clearly gifts from girls.
"Why do I have to do this?"
Huo Jincheng gently stroked the top of her head, "Because I'm a rich man, how can I do such things myself?"
He was using her earlier words to tease her! This man was so petty!
"After we go out, tell the butler to throw these things away."
"Throw them away?"
Jian Yunong looked at Huo Jincheng in disbelief, "What if you regret it?"
Huo Jincheng cornered her against the wall, "Do you want to vent your frustration?"
"Um?"
Before Jian Yunong could react, she was pushed out of the room. She stood in the hallway holding a box. The thick carpet felt soft under her feet.
Le Yi happened to pass by in the hallway and walked over to ask her what was going on.
Jian Yunong pouted, indicating the box she was holding.
Le Yi's eyes showed surprise, "You've got guts!"
"Hurry up! Let's throw everything away before my brother finds out!"
"Butler!"
Le Yi was really impatient; within less than a minute, all those things were handed over to the butler.
"Are these all from Third Brother? Why are they all thrown away? He usually treats them like treasures!" Huo Jinge glared at Jian Yunong, finding her increasingly displeasing. "Do you have such a bad temper?"
Le Yi, however, grabbed Jian Yunong's hand. "Jing Ge, when a man can't do something, the woman behind him needs to help! From now on, only the things Sister San gave to your Third Brother will be in his room. Just throw away these worthless items; our Huo Family doesn't keep trash."
Bai Yao, sitting in the living room, looked extremely displeased.
Those were all gifts Bai Ru had given to Huo Jincheng over the years.
Bai Ru is Bai Yao's sister.
At this moment, Mrs. Huo appreciated Jian Yunong's actions: "Good. If he dares to lose his temper at you later, just come to me and say it was my decision."
The attitude of the Huo Family shifted dramatically.
Jian Yunong felt it was necessary to explain herself. "Actually, he asked me to do this..."
No one believed her.
Sigh!
How unpopular Bai Ru had been in the Huo Family!
When Jian Yunong returned to her room, she received a pile of pastries.
Huo Jincheng was in the study at this time, standing by the desk with a book open in one hand and a dumbbell in the other. The muscle definition was clear on his strong arms.
Jian Yunong had already taken a step inside but suddenly withdrew.
"Come in."
"…"
She thought she was walking silently like a cat.
"I said I wanted a midnight snack, and the kitchen prepared so much for me."
Jian Yunong placed the tray on the desk.
"You can eat."
He didn't even glance at it.
"Aren't you hungry?"
Jian Yunong pinched a piece of egg tart and directly fed it to his mouth. Huo Jincheng was about to say he wasn't hungry when the egg tart filled his mouth.
Huo Jincheng glared at her.
Jian Yunong smiled, "Don't tell me you don't eat sweets. You finished that dessert last time! I thought it was too sweet!"
Huo Jincheng had no choice but to swallow what was in his mouth, and surprisingly felt a hint of hunger.
Jian Yunong eagerly fed him a second piece while sneaking a cookie for herself in between.
Just then, Bai Yao's voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"Mom asked me to bring you milk."
"Leave it outside."
Huo Jincheng had his back to the door and didn't turn around.
The study was softly illuminated, and the shadows of the two seemed almost intimate.
"Didn't we say no eating in his study?" Bai Yao couldn't help but speak up.
Jian Yunong froze in place. She had just naturally walked into Huo Jincheng's study with food, right in front of him.
She awkwardly stood up from the table, but was held back by Huo Jincheng, who grasped her wrist.
"Sister-in-law."
Huo Jincheng let go and picked up a piece of egg tart, stuffing it into Jian Yunong's mouth before lifting his gaze to Bai Yao. "She's fine."
She's fine...
Is it because Jian Yunong is fine, or is it that as long as she is your wife, everything is fine?
Bai Yao felt as if she had been slapped in the face by Huo Jincheng's provocative gesture.
"I remember you never used to act like this." Bai Yao looked at Jian Yunong, who was eating with abandon. The crispy crust of the egg tart crumbled and fell onto the black tabletop, looking quite glaring.
Huo Jincheng seemed to be oblivious to all of this.
Well, marrying this woman must feel like being blind, right?
Bai Yao's lips curled into a faint smile. "I didn't expect you to change so much. I guess I was meddling."
Huo Jincheng walked towards Bai Yao and picked up two glasses of milk. "In the future, just have the servants do these things. No need to trouble Sister-in-law."
Bai Yao stared at Huo Jincheng, her eyes revealing her unwillingness. "Yes, you’ve married now; these things should be done by your wife."
Huo Jincheng approached Jian Yunong and brought the milk to her lips.
Feeling inexplicably like a pawn in this situation, Jian Yunong timidly looked up at Huo Jincheng.
He lowered his gaze at her, signaling her to take a sip.
Jian Yunong dared not defy the firmness in his eyes and drank about half a glass. In fact, the milk came at just the right time; she was feeling a bit thirsty.
"Finish this glass of milk and don't eat anymore. Eating too much before bed can lead to indigestion."
Huo Jincheng took away the plate filled with pastries and called out to Bai Yao, who was about to leave.
"Sister-in-law, could you please?"
Bai Yao took the tray and walked away with her head down.
She was in such a hurry that she forgot to close the door.
Huo Jincheng closed the door and turned around to hear Jian Yunong curiously asking, "Why haven't I seen your older brother?"
Huo Jincheng glanced at her, surprised that this fool could sense something. This Sister-in-law seemed a bit too idle, getting involved in too many matters.
However, Jian Yunong maintained a normal expression, and he didn't call her out on it.
"Big Brother is often abroad, expanding overseas business. He usually comes back once every two or three months."
"Hmm? He doesn't even come back for the holidays?" Jian Yunong couldn't help but sigh, "Rich people actually have it pretty tough too. Couples separated, family not reunited, working hard alone overseas. Just thinking about it makes me feel it's hard."
Huo Jincheng then revealed a complex smile.
This fool Jian Yunong had one good trait; she always looked on the bright side of things.
Late at night.
A new problem arose.
Huo Jincheng's room only had one bed.
"Hey, aren't you going out later?" Jian Yunong asked tentatively. It was now eleven o'clock at night; the elders of the Huo Family should be asleep by this time.
Huo Jincheng was still in the study, and Jian Yunong lay on the sofa, vaguely able to see his shadow projected on the wall. There was a kind of hazy beauty to it.
She had always thought that someone like Huo Jincheng, born with a silver spoon in his mouth as a rich second generation, would spend his nightlife in various bars and nightclubs, indulging until dawn before heading home.
As a result, Huo Jincheng actually spent the entire night reading in his study.
Earlier, while eating egg tarts, Jian Yunong had sneaked a few glances at the book. The words on it were all things she couldn't understand, looking like English letters but not quite.
The most terrifying thing was a wealthy second-generation like Huo Jincheng who was both rich and hardworking!
At this moment, this rich second-generation was clearly still immersed in his sea of books, not lifting his head as he replied, "It's too late."
"What's late? The nightlife should just be starting now!"
Jian Yunong turned over, yawned, and sat up from the sofa.
"If you want to go out and have fun, I can help you find an excuse," Jian Yunong thought Huo Jincheng might be considering the elders at home. "I'll leave early tomorrow morning; just say I left with you. The elders definitely won't know."
Jian Yunong walked in front of Huo Jincheng. "Young man, nightlife shouldn't be so monotonous, okay?"
Huo Jincheng put down his book and looked at Jian Yunong with a probing gaze. "Do you really want me to go out?"
His eyes were too deep, and Jian Yunong feigned calmness. "No, I'm just asking you. I won't tell on you!"
"You should sleep first."
Huo Jincheng picked up his book again.
At that moment, the phone on his desk lit up.
"Someone is calling you!"
The person named Xu Yizhi was like a timely rain for Jian Yunong.
"No need to pay attention to it."
Huo Jincheng didn't even glance at it.
On the other end of the line, Jian Yunong clearly saw that Huo Jincheng's phone had at least ten missed calls, all from Xu Yizhi.
"What if someone needs you urgently?"
Jian Yunong picked up his phone and held it in front of Huo Jincheng.
Take a look, just take a look, answer it!
If Jian Yunong had a tail behind him, it would definitely be wagging happily at this moment.
Huo Jincheng finally answered the call.
The room was very quiet, and the loud background music on Xu Yizhi's end clearly indicated he was out partying somewhere.
"Come out!"
"My buddy just got dumped!"
"Weren't we supposed to drink together today?"
Xu Yizhi seemed to be quite drunk, almost shouting throughout the call.
"I'm busy."
Huo Jincheng replied coldly.
"Your wife is a grown woman; you can't possibly stay with her all night! Besides, there are so many people at the Huo Family gathering!"
Bang...
The conversation abruptly ended.
Huo Jincheng hung up the phone.
Jian Yunong's heart skipped a beat. Had this person been sitting here all night just to keep her company? What was the point of that? Was she just a shield for him? He really knew how to make excuses!
"Did you see my knee?" Jian Yunong lifted her knee. "It seems like I got hit by an arrow for no reason."
Huo Jincheng's gaze was heavy. "This is his fifth breakup this month."
It had only been half a month, and he had already experienced five breakups?
No wonder he wasn't used to it after so many heartbreaks; he was too fragile...
After Jian Yunong finished washing up, she found Huo Jincheng still sitting in the study. She sat on the edge of the bed, thought for a moment, and ultimately grabbed a pillow and a blanket, rolling over to the sofa to make do.
After all, this was Huo Jincheng's bedroom.
She felt embarrassed to take over his space.
Jian Yunong looked at Huo Jincheng's shadow on the wall and drifted off to sleep in a daze.
"Get up!"
Huo Jincheng's voice suddenly rang in her ear.
