“……”
After a moment of silence, Jian Yunong let out a light laugh. “Huo Jincheng, stop talking nonsense… you’re just a filthy rogue, how could you possibly…”
Huo Jincheng suddenly grabbed her hand and lowered it.
All the words got stuck in her throat.
“Nong Nong. I miss you.” Huo Jincheng lowered his voice, “I know you must be intentionally avoiding me. Is it because of your inability to have children? What does that even mean?”
Huo Jincheng's tone was very indifferent.
Jian Yunong's face turned crimson, “Let go of my hand…”
“You called me a filthy rogue, I can’t let you down…”
How could this bastard say such shameless things so openly?
“Don’t push me.” Jian Yunong was really getting angry, and when she turned her hand to grip his, Huo Jincheng gasped, “I’m sorry. Let’s talk nicely and not get physical.”
“Do you promise?” Jian Yunong clearly didn’t believe him.
“I promise.”
The two sat down on the sofa, and Jian Yunong intentionally distanced herself from him, signaling Huo Jincheng to stay a meter away.
Huo Jincheng refused, “Aren’t you embarrassed to let me get closer? Are you afraid I’ll notice that you… have gained weight? Hmm, this position is bigger too. You were never thin, so there’s no need to be embarrassed.”
Jian Yunong rolled her eyes, “Huo San Shao, stop pretending to be foolish.”
“Alright. Let’s clarify things first. We’re going to roll in the sheets anyway.”
“……”
How could she think Huo Jincheng had matured?
Where does this illusion come from?
"Huo Jincheng!" Jian Yunong stood up to leave, but Huo Jincheng pressed her back down. "Speak. Come on, continue making excuses. Start your performance. Let me know what disgusting reasons you can come up with next."
Jian Yunong felt a bit uneasy inside.
She said that those words about falling in love with someone else were lies.
Huo Jincheng had clearly been very angry at the time and obviously believed what she said. But why did he suddenly seem like he couldn't hear anything she said?
Could it be that he knew something?
Huo Jincheng was not someone who could tolerate any nonsense; Jian Yunong didn't think he loved her to the point of losing his principles... He probably knew something.
"You look like you don't believe anything I say. Why should I even communicate with you?!" Jian Yunong felt a desire to retreat and wanted to leave this place.
Huo Jincheng smiled faintly, "Don't want to talk? Then we can do something else."
Jian Yunong covered her collar, "Are you going to force me again?"
Huo Jincheng patted her cheek, "Nong Nong, do you still think I'm the Huo Jincheng of five years ago? Back then, if you cried and shed a few tears, I would let you go. Now, I won't let you off so easily. You might as well save your energy so you don't end up unable to get out of bed tomorrow."
"I... I... Let's continue talking! I suddenly want to chat again." Jian Yunong was frightened by the scene he described and recalled the fear of being unable to get out of bed after being with Huo Jincheng, quickly softening her tone to plead for mercy.
"What’s there to be afraid of? Is not being able to get pregnant really that important? I think it's quite good; at least we won't have to use protection in the future."
"…"
"Why are you staring at me? Did I say something wrong?" Huo Jincheng looked innocent.
Jian Yunong looked at him as if he were an idiot. "This is a very important and serious issue. Huo Jincheng, can we have a serious conversation? Can you think about this issue with your brain? If you keep acting like this... I'll start doubting whether I'm chatting with a fake Huo Jincheng. Give me back that young and capable elite who manages Huo Group with a clear mind!"
"I thought you were living a fake five years abroad... I enjoy being with you; does that mean I don't love you? I like this thing, and it's only because of you. You're very simple in other matters, but in this one, you're overthinking it. I hope you can share just a little bit of your love for food with it."
Food and sex... these two things... are basic human needs.
Huo Jincheng is unstoppable in the marketplace, putting in a lot of effort, but he doesn't want to be as troubled in life as he is in business; he prefers a straightforward approach.
"Nong Nong, I am not a perfect person, nor do I pursue perfection," Huo Jincheng said, stroking Jian Yunong's hand. "My attitude towards marriage is the same. I think it's already difficult to meet the right person. I don't expect you to be able to have children."
"Your mother must have shown you my medical report, right?"
Jian Yunong lowered her eyelashes.
"Yes."
Huo Jincheng looked at Jian Yunong and gently brushed her hair aside. "I know you must be very sad, which is why you hid away. Although you always say you're just a child and don't want children yet, I know very well that you don't have a carefree attitude towards life, nor do you not care about having kids. In fact, you care too much about it. You may be confused about small matters, but when it comes to major life events, I know my wife is very clear about her direction. You want to be a good wife and then a good mother. You've been trying hard. But God likes to joke. He doesn't reward those who work hard. But that's okay; I think that might be God's gift to us. I believe the happiness we share together will not be less than that of couples with children."
His hand rested on Jian Yunong's cheek, gently caressing her. "Daughter-in-law, you're really silly. Are you afraid I can't handle the pressure from my mom? Our Huo Family has so many houses; losing this one won't lead to extinction. I love you, not your womb. I love that silly Jian Yunong, love the Jian Yunong who enjoys food, love the Jian Yunong who is tough on the outside but soft on the inside, love the Jian Yunong who throws tantrums but is easy to coax, love the Jian Yunong who forgave me generously even after I hurt her."
Suddenly, Jian Yunong started crying uncontrollably amidst Huo Jincheng's panic.
"Huo Jincheng... I'm really such an idiot..."
Huo Jincheng held her tightly and gently patted her back. "Where are you being foolish? You’ve got me, with an IQ of 180, wrapped around your finger; you're not foolish at all."
But Jian Yunong continued to cry.
"If you keep crying, I'll pin you down on the bed."
Huo Jincheng pretended to threaten her fiercely.
Looking at Jian Yunong's tear-streaked little face, her eyes were already starting to swell!
Jian Yunong wiped her tears and sniffled, "I'm going to cry."
Huo Jincheng directly carried her upstairs.
"Still crying?"
"I took off your clothes."
"I bit you."
"I came in."
The cries in the room gradually faded, turning into soft whimpers.
"Daughter-in-law, you actually want to sleep with me, right?"
"Huo Jincheng, you talk too much."
"A little thing that says one thing and means another."
"Huo Jincheng..."
"Yes?"
"Hurry up."
Huo Jincheng let out a low laugh, "Hold me tight."
The patterns on the ceiling seemed to shift closer and farther away. Huo Jincheng's sweat dripped onto her cheek, and Jian Yunong wrapped her arms tightly around Huo Jincheng's neck to prevent herself from falling off the bed.
"I've wanted to do this for five years."
Huo Jincheng said in a low voice, "It feels just like I imagined; I'd die in your arms."
Jian Yunong tilted her head and bit his masculine Adam's apple, pouting, "Stop talking nonsense."
Huo Jincheng lovingly lingered on her lips, slowly moving down, leaving a trail of languid marks on her warm, pale pink skin.
Jian Yunong's waist swayed gently as she tried to dodge, but felt powerless.
The temperature in the room rose once again.
In the morning, sunlight turned on the lights in the room.
Huo Jincheng emerged from the bathroom wrapped only in a towel.
Jian Yunong sat on the edge of the bed, holding the blanket, her eyes still sleepy.
"Are you awake? I'll take you out for breakfast soon."
Jian Yunong responded with an "oh," hugging the blanket as she headed to the bathroom.
Half an hour later.
Impatiently waiting, Huo Jincheng couldn't help but knock on the door. "Nong Nong, are you done yet?"
It was just a shower; how could it take so long?
Jian Yunong opened the door wrapped in a towel, her eyes filled with grievance. "Look at me! How can I go out like this? I have to be a bridesmaid for my aunt the day after tomorrow! How am I supposed to wear the bridesmaid dress?"
"The dress is so revealing?"
"It's clearly your fault for leaving such heavy hickeys on my neck!"
It did seem a bit heavy and numerous.
Huo Jincheng smiled. "Come on, Daughter-in-law, I know a great breakfast place."
"Huo Jincheng, let me tell you, you can't just bribe me with food!" Jian Yunong bit her lip, her indifferent gaze revealing interest. "How good is it?"
Huo Jincheng picked her up suddenly, and Jian Yunong screamed, "It's falling! The towel is falling!"
"Not that I haven't seen it before."
"......"
After finishing breakfast, Huo Jincheng had no intention of sending Jian Yunong back.
"Shall we go to the beach?"
Huo Jincheng suggested.
"Don't you have to work?" Jian Yunong shook her head. "There might be a lot of things I need to help with for my aunt's wedding."
"Then I'll go with you to help."
Jian Yunong looked at Huo Jincheng suspiciously. "Are you afraid I'll run away?"
Huo Jincheng's fingers lightly tapped on the steering wheel. "Of course. I finally found my Daughter-in-law."
Jian Yunong silently turned her face away and huffed.
Upon returning to her aunt's house, Mist Shenshen was playing with Little Fatty.
"Jian Yunong, where did you go last night?"
"Aunt... can you stop pretending?"
Jian Yunong replied irritably.
Seeing Huo Jincheng following behind her niece, Mist Shenshen stopped pretending and smiled happily. "Isn't it because I hope you can clear things up with him?"
Jian Yunong felt a bit warm in her cheeks and coughed lightly. "Aunt, is there anything you need help with?"
"You don't need to help with anything. Ji Shaoli has gone to take care of these things. We don't have to worry."
Mist Shenshen planned to be a hands-off manager.
"I'll give Uncle-in-law a call..."
"No need. Let him be busy. Keeping him occupied will prevent him from overthinking."
Mist Shenshen looked disdainful.
He actually thought she wanted to run away from the marriage.
Well, although she was a bit scared of getting married, she had no intention of fleeing. That man would make her suffer greatly.
"Then I'll take a nap."
Jian Yunong still felt very tired.
Huo Jincheng followed her.
"I'm going to sleep now," Jian Yunong reminded him that he could leave.
"I'll keep you company."
"......"
This man really had thick skin.
"This is my aunt's house, don't cause trouble."
"Alright, then you come home with me, we can sleep at home."
"......"
