Jian Yunong realized that she had just confronted Huo Jincheng's beloved right in front of him!
Silently, she tossed her phone to Huo San Shao.
On the other end, Bai Ru was not going to let her off so easily.
"Who are you? I'm talking to Huo Jincheng; what right do you have to interrupt? You must be Jian Yunong, right? Look at how confidently you speak; it seems like nothing happened! Are you deliberately preventing Huo Jincheng from answering my calls?"
Jian Yunong looked at Huo Jincheng in disbelief. He was leisurely drying his hands, showing no expression on his face.
Not speaking means he is tacitly accepting Bai Ru's attitude?
Jian Yunong pulled her foot back fiercely and stood up to leave the bed, but as soon as one foot hit the ground, someone wrapped their arms around her waist and pulled her back onto the bed. Huo Jincheng trapped her in his embrace and picked up the phone.
"Bai Ru."
In an instant, both the person on the other end and Jian Yunong fell silent.
"This time your fans will throw water, but next time they might throw something else. Because you are young, there is a need for redemption. Otherwise, treating my wife Huo Jincheng like this won't just end with a few days in the police station."
Huo Jincheng's voice was cold and terrifying, yet his hand was gently stroking Jian Yunong's hair, tender and affectionate. Jian Yunong felt as if she were caught between heaven and hell, enduring great torment.
It felt even more unreal.
Is Huo Jincheng standing up for her?
Bai Ru softened her tone, elongating her cry, trying to appeal to this man. "Huo Jincheng, I have already been blacklisted by your family. The only ones who truly care for me in this world are my fans. Do you want me to have nothing? You tell me to take care of myself, yet you treat me like this?"
"Bai Ru, it's just a blacklist. You can go find your foreign boyfriends."
Huo Jincheng hung up the phone.
Jian Yunong stiffened for a moment and cautiously looked up at him. "You... you..."
"What do you want to say? Don't bother saying something useless like complimenting my looks."
"......"
This narcissist!
"Are you really willing to treat her like this?"
"I am already married." Huo Jincheng lifted Jian Yunong up to meet his gaze, "So you also need to remember, you are my wife, and you are already married."
Past events should also be forgotten, just like he chose to forget.
Huo Jincheng's face slowly enlarged in front of her, and Jian Yunong inexplicably trembled like a quail.
"Am I that scary?"
"......"
Jian Yunong lowered her eyes, her silence indicating agreement.
Huo Jincheng gently kissed her temple, "Did I scare you today?"
His tone was affectionate, and Jian Yunong finally relaxed, "No."
Huo Jincheng didn't believe it; Jian Yunong was simply timid. Just a kiss and a hug, and she was scared. This made Huo Jincheng quite frustrated.
"So brave?" Huo Jincheng's lips curled into a smile.
"I'm just worried; those cream puffs can't be eaten now."
"......"
Huo Jincheng couldn't help but give Jian Yunong a light tap on the head.
"Why did you hit me?" Jian Yunong asked in confusion, pouting her plump lips and glaring at him. "The only one who can hit me like that is my aunt!"
Mist Shenshen had watched her grow up, being both an elder and a friend. Because of this bond, Jian Yunong could tolerate and even appreciate Mist Shenshen treating her this way. She knew that Mist Shenshen genuinely cared for her.
"Now that you're married," Huo Jincheng adjusted his position and held Jian Yunong in his arms, "I am your husband, and from now on, only I can treat you like this. No one else, including your aunt, is allowed to."
Husband...
The magnetic, deep voice of Huo Jincheng brought a hint of spring warmth to Jian Yunong's closed heart.
Her parents were like this too; her father often told her mother, "I am your husband..."
Would Huo Jincheng treat her like her father treated her mother?
After thinking for a while, Jian Yunong drifted into sleep amidst the gradually familiar yet strange scent.
...
The next day, the couple returned to the Huo Family Old Residence for dinner.
Mrs. Huo kept serving food to Jian Yunong. "Come on, eat more! You must have been scared yesterday! I heard from Jing Ge that you even fell! Is that right? Did you go to the hospital afterward? Is the baby okay? The early stages of pregnancy are dangerous; we can't be careless at all."
The bowl was piled high with food. For the first time, Jian Yunong, who loved to eat, lost her appetite.
She didn't have a baby in her belly; how could she accept her mother-in-law's kindness?
Jian Yunong always understood that Huo Jincheng's mother had only reluctantly accepted her because she was pregnant with Huo Jincheng's child.
Lying was like rolling a snowball; the bigger it got, the harder it became to stop.
"Mother-in-law... I..."
"Alright, Mom, I will take her to the hospital."
Huo Jincheng spoke firmly, squeezing Jian Yunong's hand under the table.
"Nong Nong, eat more."
The mention of "Nong Nong" startled Jian Yunong.
Huo's mother smiled brightly, "Good, my son knows how to care for others now. After getting married, things are different; he's more considerate."
Jian Yunong quietly shifted her gaze, suddenly landing on her sister-in-law Bai Yaoyao's face, just in time to meet Bai Yaoyao's cold and terrifying stare.
Bai Yaoyao quickly looked away.
Jian Yunong's heart sank; it seemed that this sister-in-law had always disapproved of her.
Perhaps it was because they had just been misunderstood as showing off their affection.
Her brother had not returned home, and Bai Yaoyao surely wouldn't be pleased to see them like this.
Thinking about it this way, Jian Yunong couldn't help but glare at Huo Jincheng, though she only dared to do so secretly.
By the time Jian Yunong realized she hadn't confessed to her mother-in-law that she wasn't pregnant, the meal was over, and her mother-in-law hurriedly flew abroad.
Standing at the door of her mother-in-law's study, she felt a wave of regret upon hearing this news.
"What are you doing standing there?"
Huo Jincheng's deep, magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind her.
"I want to talk to my mother-in-law about something."
Jian Yunong was very straightforward.
Huo Jincheng's eyes were deep as ink. "Call me Mom."
Is the way to address someone really that important?
Jian Yunong nodded. "Got it."
In the next moment, she was pushed into the study by Huo Jincheng and pinned against the wall.
"Don't play tricks behind my back, understand?"
"I don't understand."
Jian Yunong looked at his dangerous face and still spoke honestly. "Your mom will find out about this sooner or later. How long can we keep it a secret? When the time comes for the baby, if I have nothing in my belly, are you going to bring one back for me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Yunong covered her lips, looking at him in horror. "Is that what you were planning? Bai Ru can't enter the door anyway! You plan to use me, a pregnant woman, to put your child with her under my name?"
Huo Jincheng felt like he could crush Jian Yunong in frustration.
What on earth is this woman thinking?
"I have never touched her!"
Huo Jincheng spat out those words through gritted teeth.
Huh?
Jian Yunong was startled by his dangerous tone. "You haven't touched her? How could you be so miserable?"
"Aunt Wu Shenshen said that Huo San Shao has been pursuing Bai Ru for many years!"
With his chin lifted, Huo Jincheng squinted his eyes, "Is it tragic?"
The first time Jian Yunong was with Huo Jincheng was also her first time. So, was Yi Nansheng also very tragic?
"Not tragic, not tragic," Jian Yunong immediately shook her head, "It's quite good."
"I think so too."
Huo Jincheng leaned closer to Jian Yunong and lightly kissed her lips, "You took my first time."
Jian Yunong's mind instantly exploded.
This was so sweet.
It was so sweet that she couldn't think anymore.
Seeing that she wasn't trembling but just in a daze, her silly expression made him want to kiss her again, to seek more.
He was a man of action; thinking this way, he did just that, kissing her deeply and exploring more with his tongue.
Suddenly, the study door swung open.
Bai Yaoyao dropped the tray in her hand with a loud crash, porcelain shattering everywhere. The noise caught the attention of the servant, and even Huo Jinge came over.
Behind the door, Jian Yunong quickly pushed Huo Jincheng away and hurriedly wiped her kissed lips with the back of her hand.
But her face was already flushed bright red.
Huo Jincheng pulled her back into his arms and then looked at Bai Yaoyao, "Did I scare Sister-in-law?"
Huo Jinge clicked his tongue twice, "Third Brother, this is Aunt's study. You all are too impatient, aren't you? Newlyweds should consider the feelings of a single dog like me who can't even date yet. It's only been a few days since the wedding, and I've already stumbled upon several inappropriate scenes."
Bai Yaoyao's face turned even paler as she bit her lip, her cold gaze directed at Jian Yunong. Huo Jincheng's affection for her was simply baffling.
"Huo Jincheng, you should pay attention too. After all, Sister-in-law is here, and there are children around."
Bai Yaoyao spoke up.
Her tone sounded strange no matter how one listened to it.
Jian Yunong pursed her lips, wanting to explain, but Huo Jincheng picked her up abruptly, as if to make a point. "Let's go back to the room!"
Jian Yunong lost her balance and screamed in fright, clutching tightly to the man's neck.
Huo Jinge remarked, "Cold dog food being randomly thrown onto our faces."
Bai Yaoyao clenched her fists tightly.
Huo Jincheng carried Jian Yunong back to their room, and just as he pressed her down onto the bed, someone knocked on the door from outside.
"Who is it?" Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow impatiently.
With many people in the old house, some matters still needed to be dealt with in their own villa.
"It's me."
Bai Yaoyao's voice came through.
Huo Jincheng quickly walked out.
"Sister-in-law, what is it?"
Huo Jincheng leaned against the door, showing no intention of inviting her in.
Bai Yaoyao bit her lip. "I have something I want to discuss with you. Is it convenient... to go to my room?"
Jian Yunong sat up on the bed.
Why did it feel like Bai Yaoyao's words were strange?
"Let's just talk here," Huo Jincheng refused her.
Jian Yunong's lips curled slightly; Huo Jincheng was quite clear about this matter.
"Then can we go inside to talk?" Bai Yaoyao said that her words couldn't be spoken in the hallway.
Huo Jincheng pressed his hand against the door, stopping Bai Yaoyao from pushing it open. "It's not convenient."
What could possibly be inconvenient?
Could it be that Jian Yunong was undressed?
Bai Yaoyao swallowed hard, about to speak.
Huo Jincheng spoke first, "If it's about your sister, I advise you not to get involved. I can't do anything either because this matter is Grandpa's decision. If you want to plead for her, you can go find the old man."
At this critical moment, going would only make things worse.
