Jian Yunong had just returned home when he received a call from Wang Cai.
Wang Cai happened to be near Jian Yunong's house.
Jian Yunong was somewhat surprised to see Wang Cai.
Wang Cai had been feeling uneasy since he rejected Jian Yunong that day; the image of Jian Yunong leaving lingered in his mind like a thorn.
"This small token of appreciation is for you."
Wang Cai took out a small box.
Jian Yunong was puzzled, "What's going on?"
Why was he suddenly giving a gift?
"This is what you wanted," Wang Cai lowered his voice.
A hint of surprise appeared on Jian Yunong's face.
Wang Cai sighed, feeling a bit embarrassed, "I'm sorry. That day I..."
Jian Yunong's gaze suddenly shifted past Wang Cai; Huo Jincheng had returned and was walking over.
Initially intending to refuse, Jian Yunong quickly took the box from Wang Cai's hand.
"Honey, you're back."
Jian Yunong greeted Huo Jincheng.
Wang Cai turned his head and smiled slightly at Huo Jincheng, saying nothing more.
Huo Jincheng had his arm around Jian Yunong, a faint scent of alcohol lingering on him.
Jian Yunong frowned slightly, "Have you had dinner?"
"Coming back to eat you," Huo Jincheng said, biting her earlobe, his warm breath making her feel ticklish. She instinctively tightened her grip on the box in her palm, causing her hand to ache.
He probably didn't see it.
He was drunk.
Jian Yunong pouted, "Why did you drink so much?" She raised her hand to support him as they both walked into the villa.
Having had a bit to drink, Huo Jincheng immediately picked Jian Yunong up horizontally as soon as they entered the door.
The intoxication deeply entwined with her lips, and as they reached the stairs, Jian Yunong melted into his passion, forced to plead for mercy, crying at the peak, a mix of pain and pleasure.
Jian Yunong woke up groggily, her sleepy face greeting Huo Jincheng with a good morning.
Huo Jincheng was wearing a black bathrobe, sitting in a lounge chair with his enviable long legs elegantly crossed, casually staring at his phone screen. Backlit by the bright outside light, his exquisite features were outlined like a sculpture.
Jian Yunong sat up in bed, feeling sore all over, her long hair cascading like clouds, adding a touch of allure to her flushed cheeks.
Huo Jincheng looked up, his voice deep and sensual, "Did you sleep well?"
"Mm." Jian Yunong thought about what happened last night, her eyelashes fluttering as she stretched lazily, preparing to get out of bed.
Huo Jincheng stood up and walked in front of Jian Yunong, placing his hand on her shoulder. Jian Yunong instinctively lifted her head to look at him.
His expression was hard to see clearly; Huo Jincheng was too tall.
He caressed her chin, his fingers gliding over her cheek.
Then, Jian Yunong was gently pushed by him, caught off guard, and fell back onto the soft bed.
Huo Jincheng leaned over her, and Jian Yunong finally saw his cold face, which held no trace of a smile. Jian Yunong looked at him with a puzzled expression, feeling a bit scared. "What's wrong?"
She tried to push him away. "I still have to go to work later; don't be late."
Huo Jincheng stood up, following her force.
"Jian Yunong, what’s in this box?" Huo Jincheng's fingertips pinched the item that Wang Cai had given her yesterday.
Jian Yunong's expression changed slightly.
How did it end up in Huo Jincheng's hands?
Jian Yunong tried to take the item back, but Huo Jincheng raised his hand higher.
"This is from that man who gave it to you yesterday, right?" Huo Jincheng stared at the box with a hint of amusement in his eyes, looking dangerous and frightening. "His name is Wang Cai; he opened a bar on Bar Street. He was your classmate in college."
Jian Yunong's drowsiness vanished instantly, her heart racing quietly, but she still held her ground.
"Yes."
Huo Jincheng glanced at Jian Yunong and then opened the box.
"What’s inside?"
"Vitamins."
Huo Jincheng took out the pills inside. "Vitamins? Jian Yunong, how old do you think I am?"
Jian Yunong tightened her grip on the bedsheet. "Let me explain."
"Is it particularly uncomfortable for you to sleep with me? Hmm?" Huo Jincheng raised his hand and slammed it down, shattering the mirror on Jian Yunong's vanity.
Jian Yunong shrank back slightly; the broken mirror resembled a giant spider web, binding her tightly.
Huo Jincheng, furious, lifted her chin. "When you were accommodating me last night, did you take something? Was it all just for show? You look foolish, but in reality, you're more cunning than anyone else and can act better than anyone."
He was a proud man; who could endure the thought of his wife being driven by medication during their intimate moments? It was a violation of his male dignity!
Huo Jincheng believed that from the beginning he had gone from disliking Jian Yunong to tolerating and caring for her, hoping she would accept him. Now that their marriage had reached this point, he thought Jian Yunong felt the same way about him as he did about her. What he didn’t expect was that Jian Yunong had been taking medication to control herself all along.
Jian Yunong was frightened by his dark tone; her jaw hurt, and tears involuntarily welled up in her eyes. "I didn’t last night."
"Didn’t? Then why do you have this medication? Jian Yunong, the vitamins that fell at the Huo Family Old Residence last time were also these aphrodisiac pills, right?" Huo Jincheng sneered relentlessly. "You really carry it with you everywhere you go."
Thinking of Jian Yunong's resistance, rage burned within him. "Jian Yunong, do you even have a heart?"
Heart?
She probably doesn't have it, Jian Yunong feels like it's already shattered, so painful, not like the usual rhythmic beating. She can't breathe now, as if her heart has broken and disappeared.
"Huo Jincheng... let me explain."
Jian Yunong is in tears, she didn't know this would have such serious consequences, making Huo Jincheng so angry.
Tears from her face fall onto Huo Jincheng's hand one by one.
Huo Jincheng releases his grip, "Fine, explain."
He tries hard to maintain the last shred of rationality.
Jian Yunong is sprawled on the bed, tears flowing into her lips, bitterness spreading like an ocean; she struggles in the sea of suffering, unable to break free.
Those past events, how can she say it, how can she start?
She doesn't know where to begin.
At that moment, Huo Jincheng's phone rings.
"Take Jian Yunong home immediately." Mrs. Huo's voice is very cold on the phone.
Huo Jincheng impatiently asks, "What for? I'm busy right now! I have to go to work!"
Mrs. Huo is furious, "What work! Tell Jian Yunong to come over here right now!"
At this moment, not only Huo Jincheng, but even Jian Yunong hears it.
"What's wrong? Mom, can't you just speak nicely?" Huo Jincheng was angry at Jian Yunong, but that was a matter between husband and wife. Even if it was his biological mother, she shouldn't treat Jian Yunong so roughly. His wife could only be bullied by him.
"Bring her over now. I need to talk to her."
"What is it?"
"What? Now that you've married, you don't recognize me as your mother anymore?"
"Got it."
Huo Jincheng hung up the phone without even looking at Jian Yunong. "Change your clothes and come downstairs."
He stepped out of the room first.
Jian Yunong wiped away her tears, and when she stepped onto the carpet, her feet ached for a moment. The tears she had just dried finally fell again. How could she explain? She clearly liked Huo Jincheng and no longer rejected him.
An hour later, Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng returned to the Huo Family Old Residence.
Neither of them spoke a word along the way.
Halfway through, Huo Jincheng suddenly stopped the car.
Jian Yunong sat in the passenger seat with her head down. He got out without saying anything, and she didn't dare to ask a single question.
Five minutes later, Huo Jincheng came back, holding milk and cake, and threw them beside Jian Yunong.
"Eat this."
“……”
Jian Yunong had already forgotten that she hadn't eaten breakfast in the morning.
Tears flowed down silently, mixing with the milk and cake, sweet and soft.
“Huo Jincheng... actually I...”
“Don't say anything.” Huo Jincheng coldly interrupted her, “I don't want to hear anything right now.”
Huo Jincheng was arrogant.
Jian Yunong swallowed her surging emotions back down.
Tears fell, drop by drop.
She silently wiped them away.
When Jian Yunong got out of the car, Huo Jincheng noticed that the breakfast he bought for her had hardly been touched.
It turned out that even a foodie could have times when they couldn't eat.
Somewhere deep inside Huo Jincheng, a pang of pain followed.
Huo's mother was already waiting for them in the study, along with a strange woman.
“Huo Jincheng, you go out first.”
Huo Jincheng did not move, but instead shot an annoyed glance at the unfamiliar woman, "Is there something that can't be asked of us as a couple? Why do you have to send me away? What is this woman doing here?"
Since this was a family matter, why was there a stranger present?
"This is Dr. Zhou," Mother Huo said with a slight frown, her tone strong and unyielding. "She needs to conduct a psychological test on Jian Yunong."
"A psychological test?" Huo Jincheng was unclear about the need for such a test.
Jian Yunong forced a bitter smile; at this point, she finally felt at ease. How much worse could it get?
It was just a secret that had been hidden before, now finally exposed.
Mother Huo looked at Jian Yunong, who remained calm; she must have realized there was no escaping this.
"I accept," Jian Yunong said softly.
Huo Jincheng looked at Jian Yunong in surprise, astonished by her composure.
"Get out!" Mother Huo couldn't help but raise her voice at Huo Jincheng.
She stood up, unable to suppress her complaints. "A woman just casually married in is nothing but trouble."
Huo Jincheng was led out of the room by Mother Huo.
Grandma went to the hospital to see Grandpa, and most of the people from the Second Branch were absent. Mother Huo spoke to Huo Jincheng without reservation, "We'll talk when Dr. Zhou comes out."
Huo Jincheng asked, "What exactly is going on?"
Huo's mother looked at him with disdain. "We'll talk about it once the results are out. Dr. Zhou is an expert."
Huo Jincheng felt confused.
He stood at the door while Huo's mother returned to her room.
Huo Jinge quietly came down from upstairs.
"Third Brother."
Huo Jinge waved at him, signaling him to come over.
Huo Jinge walked with him to the garden to talk.
"Third Brother, someone delivered a document to the house this morning. It seems to be about Sister San."
Huo Jincheng frowned. "What did you see?"
"I caught a glimpse of it; it seemed to be about Sister San studying abroad in the past."
