"Nong Nong." Huo Jincheng called her name, his tone lingering, "What do you want to eat?"
When it came to food, Jian Yunong felt no pain in her legs, no soreness in her waist; she was full of energy.
"I want to eat the dishes you make," Jian Yunong said, her eyes shining brightly.
Huo Jincheng smiled proudly, "Is it really that simple?"
Jian Yunong nodded, "You need to make more dishes."
She paused for a moment and carefully made a gesture with her hand, "Five dishes."
Huo Jincheng thought she might ask for a lavish feast or something extravagant, but in the end... it was just one dish more than his usual three dishes and a soup standard.
"Silly Daughter-in-Law."
Huo Jincheng laughed indulgently and gently patted Jian Yunong's soft hair, "Let's go buy groceries and head home."
There was a large supermarket nearby.
Huo Jincheng originally planned to go shopping by himself. As a chef, selecting ingredients was a crucial step. He had his own unique way of choosing.
"I'll go with you," Jian Yunong said eagerly.
"Your legs..." Huo Jincheng was concerned that she might not be able to walk well.
"I should be fine as long as I don't have to go down the stairs," Jian Yunong unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, taking a few steps to prove the power of delicious food. Seeing that Huo Jincheng remained silent, Jian Yunong excitedly said, "I'm really okay! It's not like I broke anything!"
In order to prove herself, she could hardly contain her excitement.
Huo Jincheng quickly held Jian Yunong down to prevent her from jumping around and causing real trouble.
The supermarket was sparsely populated, and all that could be seen were imported brands.
"Is this really okay?"
Jian Yunong asked cautiously, fortunately, there weren't many people around.
"No problem."
Huo Jincheng suppressed a laugh.
As soon as they entered the supermarket, Jian Yunong was placed in the shopping cart by Huo Jincheng.
She didn't even have time to resist.
"We'll be quick about this." Huo Jincheng increased the speed of the cart, leaving Jian Yunong no room for hesitation as she focused entirely on the task of grocery shopping.
Huo Jincheng pushed Jian Yunong, one directing and guiding the way while the other grabbed items.
The two moved swiftly through the supermarket.
Having lived alone for a long time with almost no friends, Jian Yunong found a long-lost joy.
"Mom, I want to sit in the car too."
The child next to them looked at Jian Yunong being pushed by Huo Jincheng with envy, holding onto her mother's hand and acting cute.
"You’re not a three-year-old anymore, you know?" The child's mother said sternly.
"But that sister isn't a three-year-old either. Why can she?"
The child was clever, seizing on the flaw in her mother's words to argue back.
The child's mother was no pushover either. "Because that sister is your brother's baby. In your brother's eyes, she must only be three years old."
The child's clear black-and-white eyes froze, clearly unable to understand her mother's reasoning. It sounded so logical, yet she didn't know how to refute it, so she could only look on with envious eyes.
Jian Yunong listened intently, her ears starting to heat up.
Fortunately, Huo Jincheng was pushing Jian Yunong toward the checkout counter.
Jian Yunong's ear was pinched by a cool fingertip.
"Why are they so red?"
Jian Yunong raised her hand to cover them but was instead held by Huo Jincheng's hand.
Huo Jincheng leaned down and whispered in her ear, "My baby."
The low, magnetic voice was sensual. Jian Yunong was glad to be sitting in the car; otherwise, her legs would probably have gone weak and she wouldn't have been able to stand.
Jian Yunong's head hung low as she held onto the food in her arms, letting out a soft hum to express her dissatisfaction.
However, it was undeniable that in some corner of her heart, she found this feeling quite nice; at least she didn't reject it.
Huo Jincheng was quick, preparing several simple dishes that were enough to satisfy Jian Yunong, who had long been accustomed to takeout and had her taste buds dulled by heavy oil and MSG. She felt very satisfied with the meal.
Out of five dishes, she had finished four.
Jian Yunong reached for the fifth dish, but Huo Jincheng shot her a glance and skillfully pinched her chopsticks with his own. "No more eating."
"But... it's so delicious. I'm still not full."
Huo Jincheng leaned over and, under Jian Yunong's puzzled gaze, patted her round belly, which had already been stretched into a ball.
"You can't eat anymore. You're already full."
Huo Jincheng took away Jian Yunong's bowl and chopsticks, unceremoniously clearing away the fifth dish despite her resentful look.
"Just sit quietly."
Huo Jincheng pointed at Jian Yunong with his hand.
Jian Yunong silently remained in her original position, watching Huo Jincheng swiftly clean up the dishes. The housekeeper wouldn't come until tomorrow, and Huo Jincheng's mild obsession with cleanliness wouldn't allow greasy dishes to sit overnight.
She thought she had married a wealthy second-generation who did nothing.
Unexpectedly, married life brought so many surprises to Jian Yunong.
The warm light in the kitchen was soft, and Huo Jincheng's back looked particularly handsome and imposing in Jian Yunong's eyes as she sat there satisfied after eating.
After finishing everything, Huo Jincheng walked over and picked Jian Yunong up.
"Later, take a nice hot bath."
Huo Jincheng carried Jian Yunong all the way upstairs and set her down on the washbasin. He prepared a bathrobe for her and personally adjusted the water temperature, doing everything with great familiarity.
Once Huo Jincheng finished all this, he walked over to Jian Yunong. When his hand reached for her clothes, Jian Yunong couldn't help but protect her outfit, saying, "Um... I'm just a bit sore in my feet; my hands are fine. I'll manage the rest myself."
She couldn't imagine what it would be like if he undressed her to help her bathe.
Jian Yunong dared not look into Huo Jincheng's eyes, her smile shy and somewhat embarrassed.
"Alright then, you do it yourself," Huo Jincheng said without insisting.
After Huo Jincheng left, Jian Yunong slowly moved down from the washbasin.
Soaking in the hot water eased her sore body, making Jian Yunong feel exceptionally relaxed both physically and mentally.
It was not only because of the comfortable water temperature but also due to Huo Jincheng's thoughtfulness.
She did these things not to gain favor from Huo Jincheng; she simply wanted to express her gratitude to Grandma Huo for her kindness.
However, Huo Jincheng's thoughtfulness and care for her made their interaction feel very comfortable.
Jian Yunong enjoyed this kind of interpersonal relationship.
Yet, her relationship with Huo Jincheng seemed to transcend mere friendship.
They were husband and wife...
Jian Yunong seemed to have begun to understand the dynamics of a marital relationship.
When Jian Yunong finished her shower and stepped out, Huo Jincheng was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the phone.
"I'm at home. I didn't go out drinking; I'm with her. Grandma, please send Sister Zhang to take care of Le Yi. Sister Zhang has more experience. I'm worried Nong Nong might be clumsy. It's Le Yi's first pregnancy; we can't afford any mistakes."
Grandma Huo readily agreed to this.
After Huo Jincheng hung up the phone and turned around, he noticed Jian Yunong standing behind him.
Jian Yunong's expression didn't look good; she was pouting, resembling a goldfish swimming around in a bathtub.
"What's wrong?" Huo Jincheng asked with a hint of amusement, "Who upset you this time?"
"You’re the clumsy one! Why did you speak ill of me in front of Grandma?"
Jian Yunong didn't want her grandmother to think that she could only eat and nothing else.
It was so awkward. Although Jian Yunong seemed to have no impressive skills other than eating, just because she couldn't do much now didn't mean she wouldn't be able to do anything in the future.
She had overheard him talking to her grandmother. Huo Jincheng curled his lips and picked up Jian Yunong. She was lifted high, looking down at his handsome features.
Huo Jincheng wanted to kiss her rosy lips. She still carried the fragrance of her bath, a light scent that gradually warmed his previously calm blood to a boiling point.
Jian Yunong raised her hand to block his lips, and Huo Jincheng only managed to kiss her soft palm.
Huo Jincheng looked at her with a puzzled expression.
Jian Yunong said unhappily, "If you're going to talk bad about me, I won't let you kiss me."
Hmph!
The smile on Huo Jincheng's face deepened. "I just don't want you to be too tired because you have to trouble your grandmother with Le Yi."
"I..." Jian Yunong didn't expect that to be the reason. Although Huo Jincheng was still thinking of her, she felt a bit unhappy inside. Her voice dropped, "I can handle it."
"I feel sorry for you." After saying that, Huo Jincheng lightly kissed Jian Yunong's palm again. She could clearly feel the softness and curve of his lips, warming her heart.
Unconsciously, Jian Yunong lowered her hand that was blocking her lips and actively offered her lips for a kiss.
Huo Jincheng was taken aback for a moment but then deepened the kiss.
Jian Yunong didn't even know when she was placed on the bed; all she knew was that she was almost melting in such an intimate kiss.
A cloud and rain, naturally.
In this intimate situation, Jian Yunong felt that wonderful pleasure clearly for the first time.
It was shallow, penetrating from the surface to the depths.
Sweat intertwined with sweat.
Her soul trembled in response.
Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, Jian Yunong suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten to take her medication.
She had completed this affair with Huo Jincheng without taking her medication.
Surprisingly, she did not feel the usual nausea or the physiological and psychological resistance.
Had her psychological issue... been cured?
...
The next morning was Sunday. Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng were going back to the Huo Family Old Residence for lunch.
Before the meal began, the old man asked about Huo Liangchen, "Why hasn't he come back? Didn't he say he wasn't going abroad yet?"
This question can only be answered by Huo Liangchen's wife, Bai Yaoyao.
"Huo Liangchen is out of town for a project inspection, so he can't come back temporarily."
The old man did not ask further, seemingly accustomed to Changsun's busy state.
After the meal, everyone gradually left, and Jian Yunong was the last to finish eating.
Huo Jincheng stayed by Jian Yunong's side and stopped her when she finished her third bowl, saying, "No more eating."
Jian Yunong patted her belly and glanced at Huo Jincheng.
His bowl had long been empty; he was sitting there to supervise her.
Suddenly, Mother Huo called Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng to the study.
"Jian Yunong." Mother Huo called her name, as she had never been satisfied with this daughter-in-law, so she was not as close to Jian Yunong as other elders were.
"Look at what you've done!"
A newspaper was thrown over, showing a photo of Jian Yunong and Ji Shaoli at the hotel front desk.
Ji Shaoli is considered half a celebrity in the entertainment industry because his ex-wife is a big star.
