Jian Yunong was unprecedentedly happy, her fluffy eyes seemed to sparkle. She turned around and nestled in Huo Jincheng's arms, her eyes unwilling to miss the scenery outside. "I studied history in college and often wandered through various historical sites while studying abroad. But my studies were too busy, and I didn't have enough money to visit Prague."
At that time, she had rushed abroad, with no mood to travel to this small country.
She had long realized that traveling and seeing distant places could not bring any substantial change to her life.
It would be better to continue smoking, drinking, and lingering in bars.
Jian Yunong thought about those past days as if they belonged to a previous lifetime.
Aunt Wu Shenshen had once told her that the best way to forget the past was to find a happier relationship.
After all, replacing files is more effective than deleting them.
However, Jian Yunong's heartache had run too deep; she simply could not start a new relationship.
Whenever someone got close, her negative attitude scared them away.
Over the years, the only person who had forcefully entered her life was… Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng certainly knew about Jian Yunong's past. A student of history who had never visited Prague—what a regret that must be.
Huo Jincheng kissed her hair. "From now on, you can go wherever you want."
Jian Yunong looked up at him and couldn't help but peck him on the cheek. "Husband, you're so nice."
Huo Jincheng smiled slightly. "Daughter-in-law, if you praise me like this, I'll be proud."
I would think that I really treated you well.
In fact, it wasn't true. If I had treated you well enough, I wouldn't have let you suffer in the hospital for so long. When I turned around and found you, I even laid my hands on you, doubting your loyalty to me.
I'm sorry, the three words are hard for Huo Jincheng to say.
But he also felt there was no need to say them.
Huo Jincheng just wanted to do everything he could to make it up to his little Daughter-in-law.
Jian Yunong smiled with her eyes curved, nestled in his arms, inhaling the faint fragrance on Huo Jincheng, feeling incredibly satisfied.
The last ray of sunlight faded from the sky as Jian Yunong stood by the fountain, tossing a coin to make a wish.
Huo Jincheng smiled beside her, watching his silly wife make a wish like a tourist.
The two walked leisurely through the streets of a foreign land, colorful glass reflecting enchanting lights in the neon glow.
Jian Yunong licked an ice cream and asked Huo Jincheng, "Honey, aren't you curious about what wish I just made?"
Huo Jincheng lowered his gaze at her and replied, "Curious."
His eyes were filled with tenderness as he watched Jian Yunong lick the ice cream.
Jian Yunong looked up at him and said, "Then why don't you ask me?"
Huo Jincheng stopped in his tracks and said, "I thought you didn't want to say."
After all, he respected her secrets.
Jian Yunong blinked her lively eyes, sparkling as she tightened her grip on his arm. "Ask me, ask me! I will definitely tell you."
Huo Jincheng looked at her and pulled her into his embrace. "Hmm, so what wish did you make?"
Jian Yunong smiled charmingly, her bright eyes filled with colorful neon lights, sweet as if the entire world's water was in her gaze. Before she could speak, Huo Jincheng sealed her lips with his.
He wanted to savor the taste of ice cream and her lips.
A lingering kiss warmed her lips, and all the flavors of ice cream were swept away by him.
Many people came and went, but everyone cast smiles of blessing.
In this place, no one knew her, and no one knew Huo Jincheng. They were just like all the ordinary couples in the world, holding hands, embracing, kissing, and sharing an ice cream.
Sweet and sticky, it made one smile.
Huo Jincheng took a bite of the ice cream Jian Yunong offered him. "Daughter-in-law, you're more generous than before."
In the past, Jian Yunong was quite stingy when it came to food.
If anyone tried to take food from her, she would genuinely get upset.
The sweet taste of ice cream melted in his heart. Huo Jincheng couldn't help but sigh; he never expected that little Daughter-in-law would have such a gentle and lovely day. This must mean she completely agrees with me now?
Huo Jincheng thought seriously for a moment; in Jian Yunong's heart, Yi Nansheng was an Ex-Boyfriend and also someone who had left scars within her.
Jian Yunong would not walk back on her path; how could he doubt her?
In fact, the one doubting was Huo Jincheng himself. In front of Jian Yunong, he quietly became insecure.
Is this what love is?
Doubting that he is not good enough, doubting that the other person does not love him enough, always wanting to occupy all of the other person's attention, not allowing anyone to take even a little bit away.
Jian Yunong huffed, "If you say that, it makes me seem petty."
Huo Jincheng smiled, "But I never said I didn't like you."
Jian Yunong was wrapped in his arms, her lowered head lifted up to look at Huo Jincheng. "I'm not angry."
Huo Jincheng pecked her on the tip of her nose. "Okay, I know my little Daughter-in-law won't get angry over these things."
He released her. "What wish did you make by the wishing pool just now? To eat all the delicious food in the world?"
Jian Yunong shook her head, a smile creeping onto her lips.
Huo Jincheng was surprised. "Isn't that the biggest dream of a foodie?"
Jian Yunong couldn't help but punch his chest lightly with her small fist. "I'm not just a foodie."
Huo Jincheng patted her head to comfort her. Jian Yunong hugged his waist. "I wished that we could be together forever."
Because she was shy, her voice was low as she said this. After finishing her words, she quickly slipped out of his embrace like a fluttering little bird and flew to the side.
Huo Jincheng stood still, realizing that he was looking at the light figure of his little Daughter-in-law.
In a lifetime, just thinking about it fills one with a sense of happiness.
Huo Jincheng quickly caught up, and Jian Yunong was actually walking slowly, waiting for Huo Jincheng to catch up from behind and wrap his arm around her shoulder as they walked from the street to the alley.
The moonlight stretched their shadows long, merging them into a harmonious whole.
The evening breeze gently blew, unable to disperse the warmth in their eyes.
After dinner, Huo Jincheng and Jian Yunong were in an inconspicuous hotel by the street, which exuded a homely atmosphere. Although the decor was ordinary, it was very comfortable.
After taking a shower, Jian Yunong came out of the bathroom and found that Huo Jincheng was not in the room.
She called out his name and saw his figure on the balcony.
Because the door was closed, he did not hear her voice.
Jian Yunong walked over and quietly pushed open the door.
"Chairman Huo, I have already handled this matter. There are some things I do not think require my personal presence. If every single matter needs me to be there, then what am I paying for? As a director, I do not believe that excessive interference in the specific operations of the company is beneficial for its development. If you have any doubts about my capabilities, feel free to hire someone more capable!"
How fierce.
Although Huo Jincheng's voice sounded calm, his tone and presence were neither humble nor arrogant, subtly revealing an aggressive, strong, and indifferent demeanor that made people hesitant to approach.
Jian Yunong leaned against the door, silently moving back to keep a greater distance from Huo Jincheng.
Anyone who dares to argue with Chairman Huo, also known as the Mother of Huo Jincheng, is someone to be respected and... feared.
Huo Jincheng turned around and saw Jian Yunong stepping back.
The anger on his face immediately dissipated, replaced by a smile as he waved at her.
Seeing his smiling face was like sunlight breaking through the night for Jian Yunong, so she ran over like the wind, fluttering toward Huo Jincheng like a butterfly, landing in his arms.
Jian Yunong, fresh from a shower, carried a fragrant scent that was quite alluring. Huo Jincheng greedily inhaled it and couldn’t help but lift her up and kiss her on the balcony.
As the night breeze brushed against her back, Jian Yunong turned to glance behind her; they were on the third floor, which felt a bit scary.
She instinctively tightened her embrace around Huo Jincheng.
His hand slipped like the wind under her loose nightgown, wandering. Jian Yunong's face gradually flushed under the moonlight. "Honey, let’s go inside."
Huo Jincheng lifted his gaze from her chest, his eyes hazy. He let out a low, sensual sound from his nose and then leaned in to kiss her. They tangled together all the way to the big bed in the room.
In that tender moment, a flash of white light appeared before them, sweat mingled, and their bodies intertwined.
It felt as if all the water in the world had flowed into Jian Yunong's eyes and body.
Huo Jincheng worshipped her body repeatedly, whispering sweetly, "Nong Nong."
"Mm."
"Nong Nong."
"I am here."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Tears welled up in Jian Yunong's eyes, unsure if it was due to the overwhelming joy or Huo Jincheng's confession.
In any case, she liked everything about Huo Jincheng.
Such intimacy would light up her life during the dark days ahead, becoming her solace.
Ah, she had loved, and even after being hurt, she had once loved Huo Jincheng without reservation.
...
The next day, Jian Yunong woke up and stretched in bed, while Huo Jincheng was already on the balcony with a notebook, wearing Bluetooth headphones.
The sunlight illuminated his rugged features, as if he were bathed in holy light, creating an incredibly beautiful scene.
He must have been handling work matters; his expression looked serious.
Once this person entered work mode, he became particularly stern, exuding an air of pride and coldness that made it clear no one should approach him, like a statue.
Huo Jincheng took off his headphones and finished all his tasks, letting out a sigh of frustration.
His mother was probably in a state of frenzy by now, making her more difficult to deal with than ever, trying countless ways to force him to leave Nancheng and Jian Yunong.
Previously, Huo Jincheng did not know her true intentions, but now that he knows, he will no longer be at her beck and call.
What Huo Jincheng can do is make use of all his free time to handle his daily work.
The glass door to the balcony was pulled open, and Jian Yunong, just waking up, leaned against the door. Her voice was still a bit hoarse. "If you have things to do, go ahead. I can manage on my own."
Huo Jincheng was taken aback. "You don't want me to keep you company?"
Jian Yunong curled her finger, looking somewhat conflicted. "I... I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
"I'm just asking you, do you want me?"
"I do."
"Don't think about anything else."
Huo Jincheng smiled at her. Jian Yunong walked over and sat on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Then will I be blamed for being a beauty that brings disaster?"
