"Ha..."
Yi Nansheng sneered. Jian Yunong's days of suffering in America were all thanks to the man in front of her.
"You will never know what kind of harm you have caused her."
Huo Jincheng's face darkened; he did not expect Yi Nansheng to have figured out what happened back then.
"So what?" Huo Jincheng was not afraid. He had no regrets about what he did for Le Yi, who once wanted to commit suicide. "You, a married man, do you really think you have the right to give her happiness? She is my wife, and of course, I will pamper her. You married Le Yi and still have your eyes on other women; do you think that gives you any qualifications?"
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was Le Yi calling.
Huo Jincheng stepped back slightly. "What's wrong?"
His tone softened significantly when speaking to his sister.
"Brother, don't hit him."
Le Yi's voice on the other end was very tired.
Huo Jincheng's gaze immediately turned to Jian Yunong in the car not far away. It must be her who called for help.
Huo Jincheng walked over. "Time for a lesson."
"I know about the lunch today. Yi Nansheng told me."
"You shouldn't cover for him."
"My sister-in-law's job was also arranged by me through people in his company." Le Yi sighed, "Brother, I'm afraid you would react this way, so I didn't tell you. Mom has double standards; the daughter can work, but the daughter-in-law can only stay at home. It's unfair. Jian Yunong is younger than me; she shouldn't have to just stay at home and do nothing just because she married you."
"Hah... being Mrs. Huo means doing nothing? At least it's about shopping and spending money; it's not like she has to do nothing; she could totally fall into a life of indulgence."
Le Yi chuckled, "Brother, you really don't understand women very well. Do you think all women aspire to marry good men? Jian Yunong may be my sister-in-law, but she's still young. She has ambitions and dreams; you should support her. That's why I used Mrs. Yi's name to give her a leg up."
"Really?"
Huo Jincheng felt a sinking sensation in his heart.
Le Yi smiled wryly, "Brother, it's me; it really is me. I feel quite guilty towards her. After all, it was me who got her involved with our Huo Family."
"Alright, you focus on your pregnancy." Huo Jincheng heard Le Yi closing the car door and knew she was on her way over.
He opened the car door to find Jian Yunong curled up in the passenger seat.
Huo Jincheng glanced at her and started the car.
Jian Yunong wanted to speak several times, but every time she saw the injury at the corner of Huo Jincheng's mouth, she chose to remain silent.
When they got home, Huo Jincheng went upstairs.
Knock knock knock.
A knock sounded at the door.
Huo Jincheng did not respond, and Jian Yunong pushed the door open directly.
Where is he?
She turned to the cloakroom and happened to bump into Huo Jincheng changing clothes, broad shoulders and a narrow waist...
"I'm sorry..."
She hurriedly turned her head away.
"You've seen me in bed before."
Huo Jincheng wanted to sneer, but the movement pulled at his wound. He finished getting dressed and prepared to go out.
A small hand rested on his arm.
"I'll help you with the medicine."
Jian Yunong's gaze flickered.
"No need."
Huo Jincheng rejected her stiffly.
"Husband!"
Jian Yunong blurted out the term in a moment of panic.
Huo Jincheng looked at her with amusement, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of how I might treat Yi Nansheng? Now you want to please me?"
Jian Yunong threw the medical kit on the ground, "Fine, then you can get lost."
Get lost?
Huo Jincheng pushed Jian Yunong down onto the bed. Jian Yunong punched him with her small fists, "Get lost yourself!"
"Weren't you the one who said to get lost?" Huo Jincheng bit down hard on her lip, "Get on the bed!"
Shameless!
Jian Yunong was so angry that she lifted her foot to kick him, but Huo Jincheng held her leg down, rubbing it in his hand. "You want to work without telling me? You have to run off to someone else's company? Do you think I'm dead?"
Jian Yunong shifted uneasily, tightly gripping the medical kit in her hands, but Huo Jincheng tossed it aside.
Without anything in her hands, she felt anxious and leaned against the pillow. "Huo Jincheng! Can you not act crazy?"
Huo Jincheng kissed her, deeply and passionately, entangling himself with her, leaving his mark on every inch of her lips and teeth.
Jian Yunong was kissed breathlessly, sobbing as she raised her hand to hit him. Huo Jincheng pressed harder, and Jian Yunong, feeling pain, opened her mouth and bit down fiercely.
But Huo Jincheng did not let go, as if he was even more excited by her action, the taste of blood spreading between their entangled lips.
Jian Yunong was the first to feel afraid, tears as big as beans rolling out of her eyes and landing on Huo Jincheng's hand.
As if scalded, he suddenly stopped moving.
Jian Yunong tightly closed her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering in pain, looking pitiful after being dampened by tears. Huo Jincheng felt a slight heaviness in his heart, holding her in his arms and soothing her in a gentle voice, "Why are you crying? I’m the one who got bitten, not you. I've never seen someone bully others and then cry first."
He gently kissed the tears on her face, the warm moisture seemingly soaking into his heart.
Jian Yunong remained silent; she had never encountered someone as shameless as Huo Jincheng. Clearly, he was the one who bullied her first. Looking like an elegant gentleman, how could he be so unreasonable and fierce? Deep down, he was just a rogue who would push someone onto the bed at any moment.
At that moment, Xu Yizhi's phone call came in.
Huo Jincheng glanced at it and hung up directly.
Xu Yizhi called again, the ringtone echoing awkwardly in the empty room.
Huo Jincheng hung up again.
When the phone rang for the third time, Jian Yunong spoke up.
"If you have something to do, just go ahead."
He had changed his clothes as soon as he got home, clearly preparing to go out.
Huo Jincheng glanced at her and finally answered the call, but he didn't get up; instead, he leaned against Jian Yunong's shoulder in a lazy posture.
"Huo Jincheng, you should come to Night Palace and take a look. Bai Ru... it seems Bai Ru has fallen to the point of dancing there."
"......"
"It really is her. You know the rules of Night Palace, right? For the first performance of a dancer, everyone will bid and make a request. Some will ask to have a drink with the winning bidder, while others may be taken outside to spend the night with someone."
"It has nothing to do with me."
Huo Jincheng hung up the phone.
Jian Yunong looked up at him. After hanging up, he seemed lost in thought, gripping his phone tightly in his palm. Does he really not care? The woman he had cherished for so many years was forced by his family to dance for a living...
Jian Yunong wasn't quite sure what Night Palace was, but after hearing Xu Yizhi talk about those strange rules, she had a rough idea.
"Go."
A soft voice echoed in Huo Jincheng's ear.
Jian Yunong's pair of clear, watery eyes could see to the bottom without any other emotions.
"If anything happens to her there, I think you will never find peace for the rest of your life."
"Are you telling me to go?" Huo Jincheng frowned.
"I know you want to go," Jian Yunong blinked, "You're not that heartless."
Huo Jincheng's brows slightly furrowed, "You’re coming with me."
He picked Jian Yunong up from the bed, startling her into struggling, "Are you taking me to help or to watch a joke? Women can be very petty, you know?"
When Bai Ru's fans go crazy at her, Jian Yunong can't stand the attacks from brainless fans.
"I see you're quite generous."
Huo Jincheng smirked, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Jian Yunong couldn't resist him and was taken to the car.
Night Palace was located in the suburbs, seemingly in a desolate area but with an incredibly flashy sign that looked like it was hanging in mid-air.
The parking lot in front was full, with quite a number of luxury cars.
Those who could come here were probably not ordinary people; Jian Yunong had seen many luxury cars while working at the hotel with her aunt.
As they entered, it wasn't the deafening noise typical of an ordinary bar but rather a very elegant... Theater.
A red carpet covered the entire hallway, restored to an ancient and solemn style.
Jian Yunong was led by Huo Jincheng into a private room.
From here, one can see the center stage of the Theater.
"You stay here."
With that, Huo Jincheng gracefully left, and Jian Yunong sat alone in the private room, curiously observing everything around her.
The Night Palace looked so serious; had she misunderstood?
...
Background
"Zhusha, you'll be on stage soon. We've specially placed you as the finale. As long as you defeat last season's dance queen, you'll be the new dance queen of the Night Palace."
The heavily made-up madam smiled, her makeup flaking off as she moved, and her awkward twisting was truly uncomfortable to watch. Upon closer inspection, one could even see her Adam's apple.
Bai Ru suppressed her inner disgust, hating the way that man looked at her—sticky and creepy.
Indeed, the person running the Night Palace was a man who enjoyed playing the role of a woman.
"Sister Liang, I understand."
Bai Ru finished her makeup in front of the mirror, her words and demeanor revealing a sense of detachment. Sister Liang's envious gaze lingered on this beauty of A City; the colder the beauty, the more it attracted men.
"Sir! Sir! You cannot enter!"
Background Someone has intruded.
They are just a bunch of freeloaders. Night Palace has already hired more than ten security guards to prevent drunken men from barging in. Background is a woman's boudoir, and there are plenty of women here without makeup. How can they let those guests see these cash cows looking disheveled and unkempt?
"What the hell! Are you all idiots?"
Sister Liang turned around and cursed, raising her eyes to see a gloomy man standing at the door. "Oh, isn't this Xu Shao?"
Bai Ru tightened her grip on the comb and then relaxed it again.
Could she really hope for that person to show up?
How could he possibly appear?
She ended up in this situation all thanks to his family!
"Sister Liang." Xu Yizhi smiled coldly, a well-known Second Generation Rich Kid, a flirtatious Young Master, lacking his usual amiability, exuding an icy aura. "Are you thinking of washing your hands of this? Do you dare to block me?"
"Look at what you're saying; it's those people below who are blind, worthless dogs! I'll go teach them a lesson right now!" Sister Liang knew why Xu Er Shao had come and quickly made way.
Xu Yizhi walked up to Bai Ru, unceremoniously sitting on her vanity. "So, what's going on? Have you come out to sell yourself?"
