Jian Yunong pressed her lips tightly together, staring at him with her big eyes. "Do you know why I don't want to discuss this with you? Because I know you definitely wouldn't agree."
Huo Jincheng directly took off his coat and threw it on the ground. "You know I wouldn't agree, so you won't communicate with me. You just choose to notify me instead? Jian Yunong, are you hiding our marriage for fun, or are you just playing with me?"
Huo San Shao suppressed his rage. Life had been too comfortable, and whenever he felt at ease, this woman would reach out and scratch him hard.
Seeing that Huo Jincheng was really angry, Jian Yunong stepped forward to pick up the coat. "Honey."
She looked at him pitifully, but Huo Jincheng didn't give her a good expression and went straight upstairs.
Jian Yunong stomped her feet and followed him, but unfortunately, she couldn't keep up with Huo Jincheng's long legs.
Bang!
Huo Jincheng slammed the door hard!
What a temper!
Jian Yunong was a bit startled. She stood at the door for a while before cautiously pushing it open. Huo Jincheng was in the study.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his high nose, and the cold light from the screen reflected on his face, making him look extremely cold and unapproachable. He exuded an aura that warned others to stay away.
Jian Yunong set his coat aside and walked towards him. "Huo Jincheng..."
"I'm busy right now."
"..."
Is it really a refusal to communicate, or is he just busy with work?
Jian Yunong sighed inwardly. She had provoked him first, and Huo Jincheng felt wronged, believing he had invested more in their relationship. Therefore, Jian Yunong chose to back down obediently. "Alright, then you can go ahead and be busy."
Turning around, Jian Yunong left the study.
Once Jian Yunong's figure had completely disappeared, Huo Jincheng took off his glasses and casually tossed them onto the table. The poor glasses rolled over some documents and fell directly to the floor.
When Jian Yunong came back in, Huo Jincheng was already lying down.
It was already late, and now it was past midnight.
Jian Yunong approached the bedside, but Huo Jincheng turned his back to her.
"Huo Jincheng, are you asleep?"
He ignored her.
"I know you're not asleep."
Still no response.
"You're so angry; how could you possibly sleep?"
Jian Yunong leaned closer. She had to admit that over the past year, they had developed a certain understanding of each other's tempers.
Huo Jincheng did not leave without giving her face, clearly waiting for her to coax him.
Huo Jincheng was truly a big lion; he needed to be petted to feel comfortable.
Feeling someone approach from behind, Huo Jincheng impatiently spoke, "It won't work if you come closer. Your beauty tricks won't help. You can't just act cute and expect everything to pass easily."
"Oh..."
Jian Yunong elongated her voice, lifted her foot, and placed it on his waist. "I don't want to sleep with you."
She softened her tone, "You don't like it? If I can't stay in the dorm, then I won't. Look at you, such a big reaction; I can't even mention it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Jian Yunong was flipped over and pinned down.
The person who had just turned his back on her now supported himself above her, his eyes shining brightly. "You can't even mention it."
Jian Yunong reached out to touch his cheek. This time, Huo Jincheng did not dodge; a smile tugged at the corners of his mouth. "I think while studying is indeed very important, staying in the dorm would be best. But... I still hope that the person I see when I go to sleep every night is you, and the first person I see when I wake up is also you."
Huo Jincheng's eyes revealed surprise. He knew Jian Yunong was very stubborn and was not expecting her to surrender first this time.
"You’re not lying to me?"
Huo Jincheng was not easily moved.
Jian Yunong was astonished. Was it easy for me to say something romantic? How could you not believe me?
She applied pressure with her hand, which had originally been touching Huo Jincheng's face, now pinching instead. "Why would I lie to you? From now on, I'll go home after school. If I have classes in the morning, I'll just wake up earlier. Waking up early means I can make something delicious for you; I can even prepare breakfast."
Huo Jincheng still maintained a stern expression, indicating his disbelief.
Jian Yunong couldn't help but pout. "So what do you want? Are you still angry? I just wanted to test you... to see if you would agree. I can't just try and fail, right?"
"No."
"…"
Jian Yunong was so angry that she wanted to flip Huo Jincheng off the bed. How could this jerk be so domineering?
After holding back her frustration, Jian Yunong spoke softly, "Fine, I won't bring it up again. I just want to live at home; I just want to be with you."
"I don't want to hear you talk." Huo Jincheng pressed his finger against her lips.
Jian Yunong was taken aback.
"Do it instead."
"…"
He leaned closer, his warm breath brushing against her skin. "Do what you were about to do to me again."
Jian Yunong huffed but still reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. The warmth of their lips pressed together made her feel suddenly heavy.
She was a bit out of breath, but she still complied with him and continued the action that he had interrupted earlier.
As she drifted off to sleep, Jian Yunong thought to herself that talking alone was not enough; this kind of method was still needed to soothe her.
The sheets and blankets had been changed, and Jian Yunong lay a bit far away. Just as she was about to fall asleep, a hand reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
Jian Yunong felt a bit hot; after all, it was summer, and she didn't want to stick close to him. When she moved, she found that the hand was tightly wrapped around her, so she obediently nestled into his arms and fell asleep.
The next morning at breakfast, Jian Yunong noticed that Huo Jincheng's expression was still not good.
Jian Yunong couldn't help but feel frustrated. What on earth was going on?
Wasn't last night quite happy?
Her legs felt almost useless, and her chest hurt as well.
After finishing breakfast, Huo Jincheng got up to leave. Jian Yunong called out to him, "Why are you still giving me that look?"
He hadn't looked like this when he was happy last night.
He had kissed her with more strength than usual.
Huo Jincheng lifted his eyelids; his double eyelids were deep, as if he wanted to fly to the corners of his temples. "Did I say I wasn't angry anymore?"
Jian Yunong rolled her eyes and realized belatedly that he really hadn't eased up.
"You!"
Jian Yunong angrily pointed at him, "Liar! Big liar!"
Just yesterday, to appease him, she had acted in ways she normally would never do!
Huo Jincheng raised his hand to lightly tug at the tie around his neck, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly, "This is your punishment."
Jian Yunong lowered her head and took a big sip of porridge, too lazy to look at him again.
"Aren't you going to see me off?"
Huo Jincheng stood at the entrance, looking at Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong slowly moved over, "Take care, no need to see me off."
She waved her hand dismissively, showing a very indifferent attitude.
She was still wearing her pajamas, with a silk robe loosely tied around her. As she moved, the lace straps underneath were visible, inadvertently tempting the gaze.
Huo Jincheng pulled her back; Jian Yunong found herself pinned against the wall. Before she could say anything, she was already breathless.
"First say you're not angry anymore." Jian Yunong caught his mischievous hand.
Huo Jincheng bit her lip, feeling that he could finally hold his head high for once. His face remained expressionless, but his hands were warm. Watching his little daughter-in-law's face turn red again, on the verge of losing her balance, he let go. "Come to my office at noon."
The door closed, and Jian Yunong slowly sat down against the wall, unable to help but curse under her breath.
After finishing breakfast, Jian Yunong went back to her room and took a nap.
When she woke up, Huo Jincheng had sent her a text message reminding her of their lunch appointment.
Appointment?
What appointment?
Jian Yunong really wanted to delete that message and pretend she hadn’t received anything. And she actually did just that.
She tossed her phone aside and lay in bed for another half an hour, but Jian Yunong eventually got up.
Because someone downstairs was ringing the doorbell.
Huo Jincheng had sent a driver to pick her up.
This person really knew her well!
Did he anticipate that she would sleep in and not go?!
An hour later, Jian Yunong appeared at the entrance of Huo Jincheng's company.
She didn’t get out of the car but waited inside for him to come.
On a sunny noon, Huo Jincheng walked out from the revolving door, his long legs strikingly noticeable. Under the neatly pressed pants, the toned lines of his legs were subtly visible as he moved.
Certain fragments from last night surged back into memory.
Jian Yunong quietly turned away, waiting for a moment, only to realize that Huo Jincheng had not yet gotten into the car. He turned back to look.
Ye Mei had somehow rushed out and was discussing something with him.
Both of their expressions were serious.
Finally, the two walked together toward the car.
Ye Mei was about to follow Huo Jincheng into the car when she noticed that there was another woman sitting inside.
"Jian... Mrs. Huo?"
Ye Mei greeted her in time.
Jian Yunong smiled slightly.
"Get in."
Huo Jincheng said succinctly.
Naturally, Ye Mei could only sit in the passenger seat.
Having outsiders around is quite nice; Jian Yunong doesn't have to worry about whether Huo Jincheng will turn dinner into something else.
Huo Jincheng reached out and held her hand. "Has your aunt been looking for you?"
Jian Yunong was startled. "Uncle-in-law is looking for you?"
From Huo Jincheng's gaze, Jian Yunong saw a confirming answer.
"Has Aunt not come home yet?"
Huo Jincheng fell silent, staring at Jian Yunong, clearly not believing that she knew nothing at all.
"I'll go check on Little Fatty later."
Jian Yunong showed a serious expression.
"You really don't know?"
"I really don't know."
Huo Jincheng gently squeezed her hand. "She’s probably just throwing a little tantrum. She's an adult now; don't think too much about it."
Jian Yunong frowned and nodded.
For the rest of the time, she remained in low spirits.
Huo Jincheng brought Ye Mei to dinner and spent the entire time reporting on work.
"I'm sorry, Mrs. Huo, but things are really urgent. I won't disturb your meal any longer."
"It's fine. Let's eat together. The dishes are already served. You've worked so hard, so hurry up and eat."
Jian Yunong had already finished her meal.
While she was eating, Huo Jincheng was discussing work, and now that she had free time, Huo Jincheng was eating.
They had intended to have a meal together, but ended up not communicating much.
After leaving the restaurant, Huo Jincheng and Ye Mei got into the same car and left.
The two of them had matters to discuss regarding a contract.
Jian Yunong, on the other hand, came and went as she pleased.
The wind blew in, and Jian Yunong felt a bit uncomfortable; Huo Jincheng really did take time to be with her.
She realized she shouldn't only focus on staying at school and studying.
