This was not something that Huo Jincheng found particularly pleasing.
"What? She didn't react at all?" There should at least be some sign of jealousy!
Huo Jincheng thought jealousy was cute.
Le Yi only thought positively, "Perhaps there's something unusual about this. After all, it's just Sister Zhang who said this. Sister San is a person of great wisdom disguised as a fool. She might have figured this out, which is why she didn't say anything."
The more they talked, the more Jian Yunong seemed clever and calm; no wonder Third Brother quickly took a liking to Jian Yunong. She was a pearl that everyone had overlooked!
Huo Jincheng remained silent.
Huo Jincheng did not think Jian Yunong was such a calm and rational person.
"How long has she been in the bathroom?" Huo Jincheng wondered why Jian Yunong had not come out after talking for quite a while with Le Yi in the living room.
Le Yi instinctively glanced at the time, "It seems like it's been a while."
In Huo Jincheng's eyes, he caught a fleeting look of concern.
"Nong Nong." Huo Jincheng knocked on the bathroom door.
There was no response from inside.
"Wife, open the door, it's me." Huo Jincheng raised his voice.
Just as Huo Jincheng was about to force the door open, the bathroom door opened from the inside.
Huo Jincheng held Jian Yunong's hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Why are your eyes a bit red?"
Although he had just complained that Jian Yunong showed no reaction at all and didn't even feel a little jealous, which made him unhappy, seeing Jian Yunong's eyes red, even just a little, made Huo Jincheng feel heartbroken.
Jian Yunong shook his head. "I think I might have a bit of a cold; I probably ate something wrong."
"Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine." Jian Yunong forced a smile.
"We're about to eat."
"Yeah."
Jian Yunong's complexion wasn't great. "I don't really want to eat; I want to take a nap."
"Okay. I'll keep you company."
Huo Jincheng escorted Jian Yunong back to the room.
Some things are better discussed between just the two of them.
Huo Jincheng closed the door, and Jian Yunong was already sitting by the bed.
"Nong Nong." Huo Jincheng pulled out a chair and sat down across from Jian Yunong. "Don't you have anything you want to ask me?"
Jian Yunong shook her head expressionlessly.
Huo Jincheng frowned.
Does she really trust him this much?
Huo Jincheng took Jian Yunong's small hand. "In situations like this, you should call me immediately!"
Jian Yunong nodded.
Huo Jincheng was dissatisfied with her cold reaction and kissed her softly. "Speak!"
Suddenly, Jian Yunong pushed him away and rushed into the bathroom.
The sound of her vomiting clearly reached Huo Jincheng's ears, each retch like a knife stabbing into flesh.
Huo Jincheng rushed in.
"What's wrong?"
Hearing Huo Jincheng's worried voice, Jian Yunong raised her hand, signaling him not to come closer!
She bent over the sink, feeling extremely uncomfortable, like a large shrimp.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
Huo Jinge came to knock on the door.
“Third Brother, Sister San, Grandma wants you to come down for dinner.”
How could they not eat?
Dinner was a must.
Huo Jincheng was too busy to respond, as he was busy patting Jian Yunong on the back to help her feel better.
Even though Jian Yunong kept pushing him away,
Huo Jinge walked in and, seeing this scene, couldn't help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong with Sister San? She seemed fine, why is she throwing up?”
“You go eat first. Tell Grandma not to wait.”
They couldn't let the whole family wait for the two of them.
Huo Jinge blankly agreed and returned to the dining table, repeating what Huo Jincheng had just said.
Grandma Huo's eyes lit up, “You said Sister San is throwing up?”
Huo Jinge was confused, not understanding why Grandma looked a bit happy when someone was unwell.
Grandma Huo instructed the butler to call the family doctor over.
In the room, Jian Yunong had not yet recovered from her discomfort.
Huo Jincheng asked her where she felt uncomfortable, but Jian Yunong just shook her head.
The doctor arrived quickly and, after checking Jian Yunong's pulse, found no issues.
Grandma Huo asked the doctor if there was really nothing wrong.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yunong couldn't help but overthink.
Huo Jincheng directly asked, "Grandma, what do you think is the problem?"
Grandma Huo comforted them, saying, "It's okay, you are still young; you'll have children sooner or later."
It turned out... they thought she was pregnant.
Jian Yunong lowered her eyelashes uncomfortably.
Huo Jincheng was speechless. "I started using contraception a long time ago; how could Jian Yunong be pregnant?"
Grandma Huo's expression changed. "What? Contraception? Why are you using contraception?" Not only was Grandma Huo surprised, but even Jian Yunong was shocked. Huo Jincheng used contraception? She had never heard him mention it before.
Huo Jincheng patted his grandmother's shoulder to ease her worries, explaining that it was just a minor issue. "I started using contraception right after we got married, the injection type. You know, I just got married, and Nong Nong is still young. I wanted to enjoy a few more years of our two-person world."
Thinking of Chu Ai, Grandma Huo's eyes flashed with coldness, but she smiled on the surface. "Hmph, you young kids never think about your elders. I still have a few years left to live; if I don't see you having children, how can I explain it to your grandfather down below?"
"Grandma, you're still young! Grandpa wants you to enjoy a few more comfortable years too. You'll need to help us take care of the grandchildren later. When Jing Ge gets married and has kids, you'll still be able to travel around and enjoy life!"
Huo Jincheng's words cheered Grandma Huo up considerably.
"Take a good rest," Grandma Huo comforted Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong nodded.
Huo Jincheng sent Grandma Huo away and returned to the bedside, gently asking, "Do you still feel like throwing up?"
Jian Yunong shook her head, then nodded. She actually still felt nauseous, but it wasn't as intense as before.
Huo Jincheng touched Jian Yunong's cheek. "If you have anything to say, just ask me. Don't keep it bottled up inside."
Jian Yunong blinked her big eyes, looking soft and delicate. "I'll sleep for a bit."
Only she knew that she was breaking out in a cold sweat.
She had experienced this feeling before.
All the physiological reactions were triggered by psychological responses.
The culprit was her mental illness.
Huo Jincheng was unaware and tucked her in with the blanket.
Jian Yunong looked at him deeply for a moment, then closed her eyes.
Huo Jincheng sat by her bed for a while, confirming that Jian Yunong had fallen asleep before heading downstairs.
He ran into Bai Ru.
She held her belly, which was already showing a bit. Even so, her limbs remained slender; if viewed from behind, one would hardly notice she was pregnant.
The connections between people are mysterious.
When Huo Jincheng pursued Bai Ru, he begged and pleaded, yet Bai Ru only visited the Huo Family once, and it ended quite unpleasantly.
When Bai Ru stormed out, she declared that she would never come back to the Huo Family again.
Unexpectedly, she had now become the daughter-in-law of the Huo Family and occasionally returned to the Huo Family Old Residence for family gatherings.
Huo Jincheng intended to bypass her, but Bai Ru deliberately blocked his path.
"Congratulations," Bai Ru's voice sounded insincere.
Joy?
Where did that joy come from?
Huo Jincheng ignored her.
Meeting as strangers is the best outcome.
Yet some people seem not to understand this principle.
Bai Ru, unwilling to give up, said, "You're about to be a dad; you really know how to enjoy the blessings of family."
Huo Jincheng frowned.
It turns out that the "joy" Bai Ru mentioned refers to this.
Huo Jincheng glanced at Bai Ru, and in her eyes, he was just a scumbag. He didn't want to redeem himself.
His intention was to make Bai Ru completely forget about that past wrong relationship, but he didn't expect her to keep remembering it.
Huo Jincheng didn't think Bai Ru liked him that much.
Perhaps he felt more embarrassed, after all, he got married first, and the Huo Family had blocked her path in the entertainment industry.
To be honest, Huo Jincheng felt a bit guilty towards her.
However, it was somewhat ridiculous for Bai Ru to do so many things while portraying herself as a victim judging him.
"Thank you."
Huo Jincheng responded politely.
Bai Ru was frustrated, "You were always this kind of person, Huo Jincheng, shameless and fickle."
"Yes." Think whatever you want.
Huo Jincheng didn't care at all.
If he didn't like someone, why should he care whether her evaluation was good or bad? It meant nothing to him anyway.
Bai Ru sneered repeatedly, "I want to see when your mother will kick Jian Yunong out of the house."
Huo Jincheng felt a bit displeased, " Bai Ru, do you know how ugly you look right now with that sharp and sarcastic demeanor?"
Bai Ru: "..."
...
Huo Jincheng went to eat, and Le Yi had not left yet. She quietly asked him, " Third Brother, what are you planning to do?"
The little star named Chu Ai was too bold, daring to scheme against Huo Jincheng. It was hard to decide whether to admire her courage or criticize her foolishness.
"What do you mean by 'what to do'?"
"Chu Ai..."
"Ignore her? Naturally, someone will take care of her."
Le Yi understood; Aunt would be the first to not let Chu Ai off the hook.
The commotion in the Huo Family naturally reached Huo Jincheng's Mother's ears.
Chu Ai was still dreaming in her luxurious apartment when she was directly thrown out.
"I'm carrying your young master's child!"
Le Yi struggled, "You can't treat me like this!"
A young woman stood at the door with a cold expression. Chu Ai recognized her; she was the assistant beside Huo Jincheng's Mother.
She was the one who decorated this house.
"Miss Chu, of course you can make a scene. The child in your belly will not bring shame to the Huo Family. A female celebrity who doesn't know how to respect herself, getting pregnant by an unknown father, and still foolishly dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family. Just wait and see whether more people will criticize the Huo Family or you. Your parents' county must have internet access too."
Chu Ai's face instantly lost all color, turning pale and terrifying.
Chu Ai's misery was just beginning.
In one night, she was fired by her agency, and her manager scolded her for being crazy enough to try to deceive the Huo Family, thinking that wealthy people are all fools. Just because she had some looks, did she think she could charm everyone?
People like Bai Ru come from wealthy families too; it's just that the Bai Family has fallen on hard times! But even a plucked phoenix is still a phoenix!
Yet Chu Ai was truly just a chicken!
The next day, news of Chu Ai secretly undergoing an abortion hit the entertainment headlines.
Without the protection of her agency, she felt as if she had been stripped bare and thrown in front of everyone, completely unable to defend herself against the sharp pens that cut like knives.
