"Take off your clothes!"
"Lie down!"
"Get into position!"
These lines sounded wrong. Isn't this usually something the male lead says to the female lead?
Huo Jincheng still obediently lay down.
When Jian Yunong saw the injuries on his back, she gasped in shock.
"Huo Jincheng, are you really his biological child?"
The old man was truly ruthless.
The bruised and bloodied whip marks on his fair skin made his entire back look like it was torn apart.
"What is this? The old man actually went easy on me this time."
It was probably because of Jian Yunong's plea.
If anyone else in the family had pleaded, the old man would have only hit harder.
The Huo family had strict rules, especially for married children. Huo Jincheng felt lucky that he wasn't beaten to the point of being carried out.
Jian Yunong was extremely careful while applying medicine, trying her best to be gentle.
"Maybe we should still call a doctor to take a look later," Jian Yunong said, still feeling uneasy.
"No need."
"Are you embarrassed?"
Jian Yunong couldn't help but retort, "Everyone in the entire group was busy picking up your face yesterday, Young Master Huo."
Huo Jincheng lay on the pillow, his eyes slightly narrowed, the soft sunlight outside casting a gentle glow on his face, with his eyelashes creating faint shadows on his well-defined features.
His tone was lazy and indifferent, "Do you believe it?"
"What does it matter whether I believe it or not? The point is that everyone in the world thinks you two have rekindled your old flame."
Jian Yunong was tidying up the items in the medical kit, preparing to leave.
Huo Jincheng reached out and grasped her wrist.
His strikingly clear eyes shimmered softly as he looked directly at her.
"What does it matter if the whole world doesn't believe it? As long as you say you do."
Jian Yunong's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
She avoided his gaze.
"You need to rest."
Jian Yunong hurriedly shook off his hand and walked straight out of the room.
The hurried figure was filled with the meaning of escape.
The news of Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng's engagement reached home even earlier than Huo's mother.
Huo's mother acted swiftly; she made a decision yesterday, and today someone came to measure Jian Yunong for her wedding dress.
A team also came to inquire about Jian Yunong's preferences.
"Simple."
She did not want anything extravagant.
"But every girl hopes to be a princess on this day. Mr. Huo said that you can make any requests. We are a very professional wedding planning team and will have everything ready within a week."
Jian Yunong repeated, "Simple is fine."
Her dream of being a princess had long since faded away.
She didn't even want to remember what princess dreams she had when she fantasized about weddings with Yi Nansheng.
Getting married was nothing more than having more people around and more pairs of chopsticks at meals. Considering her current situation with Huo Jincheng, marriage might not be much different from being single. She even found herself liking this feeling a bit.
When Huo's mother returned home that evening, she asked Jian Yunong if she felt that things were moving too quickly, which made her unhappy.
"No. I actually think getting married is just a ceremony; it doesn't matter if we don't hold one. I'm just afraid of the trouble."
"How can you say such a thing is troublesome? Life needs a sense of ritual; important days in life require ceremonies. When you look back on them later, you'll find that they hold beautiful memories."
When Mother Huo said this, Jian Yunong seemed to see a faint sense of regret and sadness on her face.
But the next moment, Mother Huo became very assertive. "I heard that little brat is back? When did he come back?"
Is she preparing for another confrontation?
Jian Yunong felt a bit uneasy.
"He came back quite early. Around twelve o'clock, he didn't want to disturb the elders' rest, so he didn't come to greet anyone."
Mother Huo could tell at a glance that Jian Yunong was lying.
But she didn't expose it.
Jian Yunong had been performing quite satisfactorily in the past few days.
When marrying a daughter-in-law, one should care for their husband.
Unlike Bai Ru, that vixen, who constantly troubled her son!
Mother Huo personally went to Huo Jincheng's room to see him.
Seeing her son in such a state, she couldn't help but blame everything on Bai Ru, who had suddenly returned from abroad. Bai Ru had so many scandals while overseas; in Mother Huo's eyes, her reputation was already beyond redemption. How could she still have the face to come back and continue to pursue her son?
"Serves you right! You should really let your father break your legs; let's see if you dare to meet that woman again!"
"Mom, do you really believe those tabloids?" Huo Jincheng said helplessly, feeling a bit powerless. "Nancheng is this small; the places I go aren't exclusive to me. Isn't it normal to run into her? Did the paparazzi capture any substantial evidence this time? It's all nonsense! Do you think your son is that cheap? That he would willingly stick around her?"
A series of rhetorical questions left Mother Huo speechless.
But Mother Huo still held a skeptical attitude, "Who made you lie so much for her in the past? Your credibility with me has been completely exhausted by yourself!"
"Mom, I am already married. I am your son, and whatever I did before was before my marriage. After getting married, I will absolutely not do anything to betray my wife."
Huo Jincheng raised his hand and swore, solemnly assuring his mother.
Mother Huo looked at her son, whose face bore a resemblance to his father's, and felt a wave of helplessness rise within her.
Are vows useful?
Aren't vows just meant to be broken?
Did that person not say the same thing to her once, that he would never do anything to betray her?
But in the end, what happened?
"Anyway, the wedding will be held on Friday. I want to announce to everyone in this circle that my son is married and has started a family."
If Bai Ru had any sense of shame left, she should not cling on anymore.
Huo Jincheng remained silent; regarding the wedding, his mother was merely informing him, not discussing it with him.
*
On the day of the wedding.
The wedding is being held at the South City Hilton.
Jian Yunong is getting her makeup done in the Presidential Suite.
She woke up early, not knowing why she couldn't sleep the night before. It was just like the excitement that kept her awake before a spring outing in elementary school.
Mother Huo was right; life needs rituals.
Jian Yunong, who originally had no feelings about getting married, suddenly felt nervous.
The person in the mirror looked radiant and stunning; with her exquisite makeup, she seemed like a different person.
On this day of the wedding, every girl gets to be a princess.
But her parents were not there to see it.
Tears welled up in Jian Yunong's eyes, and just then, the door to the room opened. When she saw her aunt walk in, she hurriedly wiped her tears with a tissue.
"What’s wrong on such a good day?" Her aunt was Jian Yunong's bridesmaid today.
Wearing a purple dress and holding a small Chanel bag, she was preparing for the upcoming wedding banquet.
"I miss Dad and Mom."
Mist Shenshen didn't ask further, but once she did, Jian Yunong couldn't hold back any longer; tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
"Don't cry, don't cry. You’ll turn into a panda and people will laugh at you." Mist Shenshen quickly grabbed some tissues to help her wipe her tears, unable to stop her own tears from flowing as well. Her confused niece, who was a few years younger than her, was finally getting married.
Unfortunately, neither Sister nor Brother-in-law can see.
"It's okay, Aunt is your family. Having Aunt is enough."
As a result, Mist Shenshen cried even harder than Jian Yunong.
Seeing this situation, Jian Yunong stopped crying and comforted her aunt instead.
"You finally got married! That's great! A few years ago, you looked like you were going to become a nun. You have no idea how worried I was! I didn't expect you to get married before me!"
Mist Shenshen cried for a full ten minutes before she calmed down.
After spending a minute tidying up her makeup, she quickly transformed into the image of a capable career woman.
"I'll go downstairs to check and confirm the entrance time with the host. You rest well in the room."
"Okay."
Since she got up in the morning, Jian Yunong felt a bit uncomfortable in her stomach, but after having breakfast and drinking some hot soy milk, she felt better. However, now it seemed to be hurting again.
She wished she could just curl up on the soft leather sofa.
After a while, she called Le Yi, but for some reason, there was no answer.
She had no choice but to send a text message, asking if she could come over to take a look.
Hopefully, there isn't anything wrong with the baby.
After sitting for a while, Jian Yunong wanted to drink a cup of hot water to relax. Just as she stood up, she felt something warm flowing down her thigh. This sensation felt like her period had arrived.
As soon as this thought crossed her mind, Jian Yunong's expression changed, and she hurriedly ran to the bathroom.
Her underwear was soaked with blood.
She sat on the toilet, and the mirror in the bathroom reflected her pale, bloodless face.
Her hands and feet felt cold, and she experienced cramps in her lower abdomen. These were all symptoms of her period, or perhaps the symptoms of her period were similar to those of a miscarriage?
Jian Yunong was at a loss.
At this moment, she should contact Mist Shenshen.
Jian Yunong returned to the living room to grab her phone.
Just then, the door to the room opened, and Le Yi walked in.
Jian Yunong felt like she had seen a savior.
"Dr. Le, I've lost a lot of blood. Am I having a miscarriage?"
Le Yi took out a sanitary pad from her bag. "Use this for now."
Jian Yunong was stunned, staring blankly at Le Yi.
"Take it and quickly change. Do you want everyone at the banquet to see that you've started your period?"
Aunt!
These two words struck Jian Yunong like a bolt of lightning, leaving her mind blank.
Her lips, as red as blood, trembled uncontrollably as she forced out a smile that was more painful than crying. "But I thought I was pregnant? How could it be Aunt?"
"Misdiagnosed."
She said it so calmly, as if she were merely commenting on the pleasant weather.
Misdiagnosed!?
Seeing that Jian Yunong still hadn't moved, Le Yi directly pushed her into the bathroom. "Do you need me to help you change?"
Her tone was fierce, completely different from when she was with the Huo Family.
Jian Yunong slowly shook her head.
"I'll wait for you outside."
Le Yi firmly closed the door.
As Jian Yunong looked at the sanitary pad in her hand, a bitter smile appeared on her lips. Her lower abdomen was still cramping; did she have any choice?
When Jian Yunong came out, Le Yi was already sitting on the sofa, expressionless and clearly prepared for a long conversation.
