Yi Nansheng smiled slightly, "These medicines are also suitable for pregnant women."
"I didn't expect you to be so meticulous," Huo Jincheng said sarcastically, suppressing his displeasure. "I hope you treat Le Yi the same way! Don't use it in the wrong place."
Yi Nansheng's gaze finally darkened.
Huo Jincheng closed the door in front of him, not allowing Yi Nansheng to step inside.
Clearly, he had the upper hand, so why did he feel particularly unhappy inside?
"Aunt?"
On the bed, Jian Yunong heard the sound of the door closing and thought it was Mist Shenshen returning. She groggily sat up.
As she rose, the blanket slipped off her body, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin.
Huo Jincheng paused, his gaze deepening.
Jian Yunong followed his line of sight and looked down; she was actually not wearing any clothes!
It must have been Mist Shenshen who stripped her when she had a fever.
"Ah!"
She let out a sharp scream.
Jian Yunong quickly buried herself back under the blanket.
Her face, which had finally cooled down, instantly felt hot again.
"Why are you in my room?"
She didn't know if she had moved around while she was asleep, or if something had happened...
Under the blanket, Jian Yunong wasn't wearing anything!
Huo Jincheng cleared his throat awkwardly. "I'm going out for a smoke."
He didn't really need to leave the room, but Huo Jincheng still stepped into the hallway.
He took out his phone and called his assistant.
His voice was deep and cold.
"Find out who Yi Nansheng's girlfriend was before he married Le Yi."
Le Yi's successful marriage to Yi Nansheng involved Huo Jincheng playing a rather unsavory role.
For his family, Huo Jincheng would stop at nothing.
After all, back then, Le Yi was infatuated with Yi Nansheng to the point of wanting to die if she couldn't marry him.
The result returned by the assistant was only three words.
Jian Yunong.
This was the name he least wanted to see, yet it appeared in the message from his assistant.
Huo Jincheng held a lit cigarette in his hand, staring at the phone screen for a long time until a burning pain in his finger brought him back to reality.
The cigarette was already burnt out.
He showed a disappointed expression and heavily extinguished it in the ashtray.
"Um... you can come in now."
The door to the room opened, revealing a furry head. Jian Yunong peeked out with half of her face and then quickly retreated.
The room had been hastily tidied up.
Jian Yunong was dressed in long clothes and pants, sitting neatly on the edge of the sofa.
"Let's go eat at the restaurant."
"Huh?"
Jian Yunong pointed at the Thermos Flask on the luggage rack. "Isn't that dinner you brought for me? I was curious and opened it to smell, it smells so good. I'm fine with just this."
Huo Jincheng's face darkened.
"You drank it?"
His tone suddenly became gloomy.
Jian Yunong felt a bit scared and quickly shook her head, swearing, "I only smelled it, I didn't drink any."
Huo Jincheng's expression softened slightly as he patted her head. "I'll take you to eat something even better."
He pinched the Thermos Flask between two fingers, drawing a graceful arc in the air before it accurately landed in the trash can.
Jian Yunong showed a pained expression.
Just by smelling the chicken soup, one could tell it must be delicious!
Huo Jincheng ordered with great flair, requesting a whole table full of dishes. However, Jian Yunong had no appetite at all. She just wanted a sip of chicken soup; why was that so difficult?
"How about Chicken Soup Rice?"
Jian Yunong said weakly.
Huo Jincheng's brow twitched slightly as he suppressed an inexplicable rage within him and instructed the waiter to bring a serving of Chicken Soup Rice.
The Chicken Soup Rice was served.
The thick white soup accompanied by rice.
Compared to the exquisite delicacies on the table, Chicken Soup Rice seemed too simple to even be on the dining table.
Yet Jian Yunong ate it with great enjoyment.
"Is this really that delicious?"
Huo Jincheng asked, unconvinced.
Jian Yunong nodded vigorously, "This is enough."
Glancing at the dishes on the table that had hardly been touched, Jian Yunong then remembered that Huo Jincheng seemed to have not eaten a single bite.
"Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry."
"Then why did you order so much..."
Suddenly realizing something, Jian Yunong asked, "Did you order this for me?"
Huo Jincheng pressed his lips into a thin line.
"Thank you."
Jian Yunong sincerely expressed her gratitude.
But Huo Jincheng's expression darkened even more.
"How come I never noticed you were so polite before?"
Huo Jincheng's sharp gaze met hers. It was clear he was unreadable, and she hadn't done anything wrong, so why did he look like he was angry?
"Is being polite a bad thing?"
Jian Yunong wiped her mouth. Even though she was full, she still felt drowsy. After all, she had stayed up all night last night.
Huo Jincheng found himself at a loss for words in response to her statement.
Being polite is a good thing.
But it also depends on the person and the situation.
Right now, it was just the two of them, which only indicated that Jian Yunong still regarded him as a stranger deep down.
"You eat slowly, I'm going back to my room to sleep."
Jian Yunong stood up to leave, but just as she opened the door to the private room, it suddenly slammed shut again.
It was like seeing a ghost!
"Hotel staff!"
She panicked and leaned against the door.
"I almost got seen by them in the same room with you. That was close, really close. If they had seen us, who knows what they would have said about me!"
The look of shock on her face was particularly striking to Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng walked in front of her, looking down at her.
"Are you really that afraid of people knowing about our relationship?"
"Secret marriage! That's what you said!"
Jian Yunong looked up at him, the light above casting a large shadow under his eyelashes.
Huo Jincheng slowly smiled.
Every inch of his lips was perfectly shaped, and when he smiled, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, making anyone who saw him feel an urge to smile back.
"Do you find this troubling?"
"A little."
Jian Yunong nodded, "How about you keep your distance from me in the future?"
Huo Jincheng smiled arrogantly, "Sure."
Such straightforwardness made Jian Yunong feel a bit more favorable towards Huo Jincheng.
The two of them shared the same view on their marriage, which was beneficial for a harmonious life.
Jian Yunong quietly opened the door, confirmed that there were no acquaintances outside, and hurriedly dashed into the elevator.
At this moment, Jian Yunong still didn't know that Huo Jincheng had set a trap for her.
The next morning, Jian Yunong and Mist Shenshen took the earliest flight back to Nancheng.
"I won't be working at Dynasty anymore."
As they passed by Dynasty Hotel, Mist Shenshen sighed.
"Is it because of Huo Jincheng...?"
"Exactly. If it weren't for Huo Jincheng, I wouldn't have been able to smoothly enter the Hotel Management Group of Huo Group."
Does she really need to breathe so heavily while talking...?
Jian Yunong was almost scared to death by Mist Shenshen.
"What will I do if you leave?"
Just thinking about returning to Dynasty and facing those strange looks from people made Jian Yunong's mood for work feel heavier than going to a funeral.
"Are you silly? By the time your belly gets big, where will you find the time to work?"
Mist Shenshen patted her on the head, "Remember to go for a prenatal checkup tomorrow. As a mother, you should be careful not to affect the baby with all this jumping around."
"Auntie, you're a modern woman who doesn't rely on men. Why are you instilling this kind of thinking in me? What if one day Huo Jincheng decides he wants a divorce? I would have nothing and end up starving on the street!"
Jian Yunong always felt that Huo Jincheng had rushed into marrying her without thinking it through.
A hidden marriage was his least preferred choice.
"So! You need to hold onto him tightly! A woman's career is not just about what I do! Jian Yunong, you were already ahead of the game from the moment you were born! Not everyone gets to be engaged to Huo Jincheng!"
Mist Shenshen had a way with words; she could make even death sound alive. Many of her twisted arguments left people speechless. Debating with her was like showing off in front of an expert.
She chose to remain silent.
When Jian Yunong returned to the villa after a few days away, it surprisingly felt like coming home.
After taking a shower, she turned on the TV and prepared to order takeout for herself.
The images on the screen caught her attention.
"Recently, the classical dance diva known as the Pearl of the East has reportedly broken up with the Dubai Prince. Fans spotted her traveling alone back to her country, looking thin and dejected, clearly heartbroken and worn out."
Jian Yunong's heart skipped a beat.
Bai Ru was back.
She looked much thinner on screen, and even Jian Yunong, who barely knew her, felt a pang of sympathy. She wondered what Huo Jincheng would think about this.
Huo Jincheng Do you know?
The phone for the food delivery accidentally dialed Huo Jincheng.
As soon as the call was made, it was hung up.
Looking at the darkening screen, Jian Yunong suddenly became alert.
Was she just a bystander enjoying the drama?
Perhaps he had already gone to deliver warmth!
Her call might have interrupted their long-awaited reunion or something.
She couldn't think about it anymore; it was getting too harmonious.
So, Jian Yunong happily called her favorite restaurant to order a supreme set meal!
Huo Corporation Headquarters.
"I'm sorry. I need to take a call."
While in a meeting, Huo Jincheng picked up his phone and walked out of the conference room.
This left the senior executives exchanging glances.
Jian Yunong wouldn't easily call him, but she had just accidentally been cut off by him.
Huo Jincheng walked to the window and redialed Jian Yunong, but all he heard was a busy signal.
"You have reached a busy user..."
Who is she on the phone with?
The time difference is no more than half a minute.
Huo Jincheng's first thought was Yi Nansheng.
That day, Jian Yunong must have been calling her idol in her sleep, and it was actually Yi Nansheng!
Huo Jincheng's expression darkened, completely forgetting that he was in the middle of a meeting when he answered the call.
Inside the conference room, the executives had already started whispering among themselves.
"Did you see the entertainment news just now? Mr. Huo's beloved Bai Ru has returned to the country!"
"Mr. Huo rushed out to take that call; could it be for her?"
"Who else could it be? Have you ever seen any other woman around Mr. Huo?"
Linda sat at Huo Jincheng's lower right side. Although he hung up the call quickly, she still managed to catch a glimpse of the name flashing on the screen.
It wasn't Bai Ru.
It was Jian Yunong.
