Huo Jincheng's figure paused, and at that moment, Jian Yunong clearly felt a dangerous aura emanating from this seemingly carefree man. He walked slowly to Jian Yunong's side, resting one hand on her shoulder, as if pulling her into his embrace from behind. The faint scent of grass and wood from the man spread to her nose.
"Trying to provoke me into a divorce?" The man's voice was teasingly cold, his cool fingertips pinching Jian Yunong's earlobe, causing her body to stiffen.
The man noticed the pink marks gradually appearing where he was playing, spreading to her entire fair ear, as if spring had suddenly arrived overnight, with peach blossoms blooming all over her neck.
How could such a sensitive little bunny claim to be an open woman?
Huo Jincheng couldn't help but chuckle softly, clearly pleased with Jian Yunong's reaction. He lightly kissed her cheek, and this sudden affectionate gesture left Jian Yunong even more bewildered.
She couldn't understand what was going on with him; just a second ago, he seemed like he wanted to kill her, and now he was smiling and kissing her as if he were in a good mood.
"I advise you not to have such delusions," Huo Jincheng said as he rubbed the top of Jian Yunong's head again. "If I hear such words again, I'll soak you in formalin."
Jian Yunong: "..."
Her pink lips moved weakly, and tears welled up in her eyes. From Huo Jincheng's perspective, he could see her thick eyelashes trembling gently like a feather fan, and her helpless appearance made him regretful.
The silly daughter-in-law was timid; she might have been scared by him.
Originally, this silly girl was afraid of him.
"Be good, and I won't do such things," Huo Jincheng said as he kissed the corner of her eye and pinched Jian Yunong's face, turning her to face him before kissing those soft lips.
Although Third Young Master Huo didn't particularly like shrimp, he certainly enjoyed soft lips.
"Brother!"
Le Yi's sweet voice rang out, "Why is it taking so long to eat? How did it turn into eating with my sister-in-law?"
Her voice was not small, and Yi Nansheng, who was playing chess with Old Master Huo, heard everything. A black piece was placed down, and Old Master Huo laughed heartily, "Yi Nansheng, you lost! You actually fell into the trap I set. You can't keep doing this! You need to come back more often and practice with me; otherwise, you'll keep regressing like this."
Yi Nansheng's gentle voice responded, "Yes. Grandpa's skills are getting better and better; I can't compete with you."
Huo Jincheng released Jian Yunong and turned to smile at Le Yi, but his gaze passed over her to look at that annoying figure in the distance, "Your sister-in-law is shy; you shouldn't disturb her."
Jian Yunong was so angry that she twisted the wet wipes into a ball. No normal person could compete with someone as thick-skinned as Huo San Shao! He could easily become a bulletproof vest!
Unable to win against him, Jian Yunong thought about hiding instead.
She slipped into the kitchen to help clean up the dining table.
But the housekeeper, Sister Zhang, wouldn't let her do such things; she insisted that Jian Yunong go out and rest.
However, outside, Huo Jincheng would surely start making advances again. Jian Yunong was scared and quickly came up with a lie.
"You must know what he likes to eat. Why don't you teach me? I know you're busy; I'll help you clean up while you tell me what to do."
Sister Zhang replied upon hearing this, "If he likes it, just come back to eat. I'll make it for you."
"Sometimes, the dishes made by hand have a different meaning, after all, I put my heart into it. Right, Mamma?"
Sister Zhang is from Wu Township. As soon as she heard the local accent, she became enthusiastic about Jian Yunong and started talking without holding back.
Jian Yunong was nearby helping her clean the dishes. It was originally just an excuse to be there, but who knew that Sister Zhang would get so excited that she listened intently.
With a clatter, Jian Yunong, caught up in the moment, lost her grip and let a bowl slip from her hands. She immediately crouched down to pick it up, feeling a sharp pain in her fingertip as warm blood began to flow from her finger.
Jian Yunong winced as a sudden force pulled her up from the ground. Huo Jincheng looked at her with a dark expression, "Jian Yunong! Can you just calm down for a moment?"
What an idiot! What was he doing in the kitchen? Why did his wife particularly like to go to where the servants were?
"What happened?"
Le Yi and Yi Nansheng both appeared at the kitchen door.
Sister Zhang was startled as well, "The Young Mistress helped me clean the dishes and accidentally broke one. She got cut while cleaning up."
Seeing Yi Nansheng rush over, Huo Jincheng's expression darkened even more.
In the next moment, Yi Nansheng took out a band-aid from his pocket, "Quickly put this on."
"No need, we have a first aid kit at home," Huo Jincheng refused bluntly and picked up Jian Yunong in a horizontal embrace.
Yi Nansheng blocked his path and sneered, "This kind of band-aid is specifically for her unique constitution. There's no need for the Third Young Master to let a small problem turn into a big issue just because he's in a feud with me."
Le Yi stood nearby, her gaze fixed intently on Yi Nansheng's band-aid. She remembered that the first time they met was when she accidentally scraped her hand, and this gentle-looking man took out a band-aid to tend to her wound.
At that moment, she thought, how could there be such a gentle man?
It turned out... it turned out... his gentleness was all because of Jian Yunong.
Because Jian Yunong couldn't get hurt but accidentally did, Yi Nansheng had developed the habit of carrying band-aids with him.
In that moment of longing, she realized that this good habit he had was left over from caring for another woman, and even though that relationship had long since passed, Yi Nansheng still held onto it.
How deep and terrifying must such feelings be!
Huo Jincheng coldly curled his lips, "Perhaps the brother-in-law doesn't know, but my blood type matches hers. I understand every inch of her body; I know what problems she has better than you do."
Is that so? Is this the reason Jian Yunong married Huo Jincheng? Yi Nansheng felt a sense of helplessness rise within her, foreseeing what Jian Yunong's married life would look like in the future.
Huo Jincheng brushed past Yi Nansheng's shoulder and carried Jian Yunong upstairs.
"Jian Yunong, impressive," Huo Jincheng said as he tended to her wound. "You’ve managed to keep him emotionally tied to you for so many years."
Jian Yunong bit her lip and remained silent.
Seeing her like this made Huo Jincheng's heart burn with anger. "What's wrong? Are you moved? Still reminiscing?"
"Yes." Jian Yunong raised her head. "I am very moved. Are you satisfied now?"
Huo Jincheng couldn't help but grip her hand tighter. Jian Yunong winced in pain but didn't say anything, though the slight furrow of her brows revealed her feelings.
"Do you need me to help you reminisce about your breakup?"
Huo Jincheng released her hand, crossed his arms, and stood aside, coldly staring at Jian Yunong. "You like scumbags; you really have a peculiar taste."
Jian Yunong felt utterly exhausted. "Are you done making a scene? I clearly said nothing, yet you're the one who keeps bringing him up. If I go along with what you say, you're unhappy; if I don't, you'll think I'm guilty. Huo San Shao, what exactly do you want? I've always thought that people like us in a contractual marriage should be able to coexist peacefully. If you feel that I've taken Bai Ru's place, you can definitely date her again. I won't say a word; I'm willing to help you."
"I'm not you; I won't be unable to forget my old flame. You don't need to project your way of thinking onto me. Not everyone likes to go back to their past. I'm a person, not a horse." Huo Jincheng felt displeased when she mentioned Bai Ru as well, but he had grown accustomed to keeping a straight face. Perhaps he was so angry that he could calm down instead.
"Jian Yunong, what does the word 'marriage' mean?"
"Sorry, I've never thought our relationship could delve into discussing such matters." What did it mean? She didn't really know either; perhaps after breaking up with Yi Nansheng, all her fantasies about engagement had shattered and disappeared.
So now that she was married, she felt nothing at all.
Downstairs, suddenly there was quite a commotion.
The landline rang. "Huo Jincheng, come downstairs quickly! Your sister has fainted!"
The elderly person on the phone was quite anxious.
"I'll be right down, Grandma, don't worry. Le Yi is a doctor herself, so there shouldn't be any problems."
Despite saying this, Huo Jincheng's expression turned serious as he rushed downstairs.
Jian Yunong followed him down. In the living room, Le Yi was lying on the sofa with her eyes tightly closed, while Yi Nansheng was beside her, holding her hand tightly.
"Le Yi... Le Yi..."
Yi Nansheng called her name softly.
"What happened to her?"
Huo Jincheng questioned Yi Nansheng.
Yi Nansheng remained silent, his gaze fixed on the woman in a faint state on the sofa.
Jian Yunong stood quietly at a distance, watching everything unfold.
The doctor arrived quickly.
"Congratulations, Miss Le, it seems you are expecting a baby."
Grandpa and Grandma happily held hands tightly.
Only Yi Nansheng frowned.
Huo Jincheng nervously asked again, "Then why did he faint?"
"Maybe it's due to physical weakness. You need to pay more attention to nourishing the body and managing emotions."
Yi Nansheng carried Le Yi back to the room.
"Congratulations."
As he passed Jian Yunong, Yi Nansheng heard Jian Yunong's voice. He slightly curled his lips but said nothing, carrying Le Yi back to the room.
"Xiao Sanzi, you need to hurry up! Make sure your wife gets pregnant soon, you know?"
Grandpa and Grandma began to nag Huo Jincheng.
"I know." Huo Jincheng pulled Jian Yunong back to the room. "I'll go back right away and give you a great-grandson."
Jian Yunong: "..."
"Did you see that?" Huo Jincheng pressed Jian Yunong onto the bed. "He has a good relationship with my sister."
"I am neither deaf nor blind."
This girl really knows how to sting with her words.
Huo Jincheng bit down hard, and upon touching the warm lips, he unconsciously relaxed his grip.
Jian Yunong sighed softly in his heart; men are truly terrifying creatures. Clearly not in love, yet they can still display such obsession.
Look at Yi Nansheng, who repeatedly claims not to love Le Yi, yet still got her pregnant.
...
Le Yi slowly woke up, and Yi Nansheng stood by the window, his tall figure outlined against the light.
"You are pregnant."
His voice was flat, devoid of any surprise.
Le Yi covered her abdomen, feeling a small life growing inside her!
"Who is the father of the child?" Before Le Yi could feel happy, Yi Nansheng's question plunged her into despair.
