Ji Shaoli was surprised, "How does this relate to Huo Jincheng again?"
"You know my wife is Huo Jincheng's sister. He dotes on Le Yi. Before Jian Yunong and I broke up, Le Yi already liked me."
Huo Jincheng only said this much; he could only say this much.
Ji Shaoli was a smart person; he might be able to guess.
After a moment of silence, Ji Shaoli said, "Please take care of Nong Nong for now. Once her aunt's health improves a bit, I will tell her."
Mist Shenshen had been experiencing severe morning sickness these days, and on top of that, she had a cold, hardly getting out of bed for a day.
Whenever she vomited, she would get angry at Ji Shaoli. With her emotions slightly heightened and her head aching, Ji Shaoli didn't dare let her worry about anything.
Just him alone was enough to make Mist Shenshen unhappy.
After hanging up the phone, Ji Shaoli called Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng's phone was unreachable.
At that moment, Huo Jincheng was on a flight back to Nancheng. He was like a spinning top, rapidly completing all his tasks before flying back home.
As soon as he got off the plane, he headed straight for his Private Residence.
Grandma mentioned that it had been a while since Jian Yunong came home for dinner, not even attending family gatherings.
It is said that she went out to travel.
Huo Jincheng has been unable to contact Jian Yunong, which makes him worried.
Mist Shenshen is also unreachable.
The house is empty, clearly having not been lived in for some time.
Huo Jincheng searched from upstairs to downstairs, but found nothing.
There isn't a single piece of clothing in the room, let alone Jian Yunong's suitcase, which is still hidden in the corner of the closet.
She has been traveling for several days; it’s impossible that she wouldn’t take her suitcase with her.
"Find out where Mist Shenshen is right now. I need to know her whereabouts today," Huo Jincheng said irritably as he loosened his tie and ordered his assistant over the phone.
...
"Shenshen."
As soon as Mist Shenshen woke up, she heard Ji Shaoli's voice. The expressionless face that she had suddenly furrowed her delicate brows.
"Disgusting, if it weren't for him, how could she be suffering like this now?"
Fortunately, Ji Shaoli was not someone who couldn't read the room. She immediately brought her beloved Honey Lemon Water. After one cup, her stomach felt warm, and her weak body finally regained some strength.
Ji Shaoli asked again, "What do you want to eat?"
He had prepared many snacks, all of which she liked.
Among the array of options, Mist Shenshen finally chose one.
Giving her choices was better than making her think of what she wanted herself.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Ji Shaoli went to open the door and found Huo Jincheng standing there with a dark expression.
Ji Shaoli's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled politely, "Mr. Huo."
"I'm here to find Jian Yunong's aunt."
Huo Jincheng liked to call Jian Yunong by her full name when he was unhappy; he wouldn't call her Nong Nong, let alone refer to her as his wife.
Huo Jincheng wanted to take Jian Yunong back right now and teach her a good lesson in bed.
Ji Shaoli had no intention of inviting Huo Jincheng inside; she didn't want to ruin the appetite that Mist Shenshen had just regained.
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow and Ji Shaoli politely responded, "Shen Shen is currently sleeping. I believe you know she took sick leave. She just found out she is pregnant and isn't feeling well."
Huo Jincheng understood his implication and had no intention of going in; he only had a few questions to ask. "Where has Jian Yunong gone? Has she come to look for Mist Shenshen?"
Ji Shaoli naturally said he didn't know. "I've been taking care of Shen Shen. What happened? Is something wrong with Nong Nong?"
His rhetorical question shifted the focus back onto Huo Jincheng.
"She had a little tantrum with me."
Huo Jincheng certainly couldn't say that his daughter-in-law had been missing for quite some time.
He wanted to maintain face while also considering Mist Shenshen's health, as she was the elder of his daughter-in-law, so he didn't tell the whole truth.
"Jian Yunong has a good relationship with your sister; perhaps you could ask her."
Ji Shaoli offered a small hint.
Since Le Yi loves her husband Yi Nansheng so much, she should know what he has been up to recently.
Huo Jincheng returned to the car, but the response from his assistant still hadn't uncovered Jian Yunong's whereabouts.
It was as if a living person had suddenly gone missing.
The housekeeper also said she didn't know; the young mistress hadn't come home for dinner in a long time.
Huo Jinge was away and had no idea what was happening at home.
As for Huo's mother, Huo Jincheng knew that his biological mother had never liked Jian Yunong. She wouldn't pay attention to Jian Yunong, so Huo Jincheng didn't plan to disturb her.
Le Yi was still in the hospital. Without love, perhaps work and family ties could fill the void.
She held the baby's first ultrasound photo, admiring it alone.
It wasn't that she hadn't considered showing it to Yi Nansheng.
But thinking about the possible consequences of sending it, it might only make Yi Nansheng dislike her.
Le Yi was about to become a mother and didn't want anyone to dislike her child, not even the child's father.
At that moment, Huo Jincheng suddenly appeared, and Le Yi was a bit surprised. "Third Brother, you finally returned from your business trip. This time, it seems like you were gone for quite a while."
Le Yi's belly had already started to show; it was noticeably larger than before. However, she didn't seem to have gained weight elsewhere, as if all the extra flesh had only grown on her round belly.
"Your face—why has it gotten so thin?" Huo Jincheng couldn't help but frown. The two had grown up together as childhood friends. Although Le Yi wasn't related by blood to him, their bond was much closer than that with Huo Liangchen, who was related by blood.
Le Yi didn't even notice herself; she was immersed in the joy of being pregnant.
"Third Brother, come quickly and take a look. This is the baby's first photo."
Le Yi smiled as he shared it with him.
Huo Jincheng took a careful look; he wasn't studying medicine, so Le Yi kindly explained that the small light in the darkness was the baby.
The smile at the corner of Le Yi's mouth was filled with satisfaction, spreading this joy to Huo Jincheng.
A genuine smile appeared on his face.
After their conversation, Huo Jincheng finally asked about Jian Yunong.
Le Yi shook his head.
Huo Jincheng's mother knew that Le Yi had a good relationship with Huo Jincheng, so she hadn't told Le Yi about Jian Yunong's situation either.
Huo Jincheng sensed that something was wrong.
Could Jian Yunong have been kidnapped?
Huo Jincheng contacted a friend at the Public Security Bureau for help in searching.
That night in Nancheng was chaotic, with all entertainment venues under scrutiny.
Yi Nansheng learned early in the morning that Huo Jincheng had returned to the country, and he remained silent.
This was only for Jian Yunong to have a good night's sleep tonight.
However, this was also a luxurious wish.
Jian Yunong fell asleep with the help of sleeping pills.
She did not know that Yi Nansheng had added medicine to the milk he gave her.
Even so, when Jian Yunong woke up the next day, she still felt very drowsy.
Although she did not wake up in the middle of the night, nightmares tormented her all night long.
Yi Nansheng was in the kitchen making breakfast.
The sizzling sound of hot oil filled the air as his tall figure busily moved about, and the aroma of food wafted through.
It was as if Yi Nansheng had eyes in the back of his head; he turned to her and said, "It will be ready soon."
Jian Yunong responded with a hum and dragged her feet to wash up.
