"Where are you going later?"
Huo Jincheng suddenly spoke up after finishing his meal. He hadn't said a word to her in nearly three days. Jian Yunong suddenly felt a bit unaccustomed, especially when she thought about her work and didn't want to tell him for the time being.
"I'm just going for a stroll."
Jian Yunong told a lie.
The car drove to the CBD, and Huo Jincheng dropped her off at the intersection. Just as Jian Yunong was about to leave, she heard him call her name again.
Jian Yunong walked over, and the man wearing sunglasses pinched a thin card between his fingers. "Spend it as you like."
"No."
Her refusal was very direct, so much so that it felt disdainful.
Huo Jincheng's sharply defined lips slowly curved into a smile. "This card has no password."
As soon as he finished speaking, the card flew from his fingertips to land at Jian Yunong's feet.
"You!"
By the time Jian Yunong picked it up, Huo Jincheng's car had already driven away.
This man really had a terrible temper.
He wasn't worried that someone would pick up a card without a password and spend it freely? Jian Yunong silently tucked it away; Huo Jincheng was so generous, but she couldn't afford to be willful.
After circling around the CBD, Jian Yunong quickly took the subway to the Hotel Management Company where she was interviewing.
On her first day at work, Human Resources familiarized her with the company and took her to the training class. The system underwent comprehensive training.
At noon, Jian Yunong went downstairs alone, preparing to buy something to eat at the convenience store below and familiarize herself with the workflow again. When she was introduced to a few new colleagues today, she realized how impressive they were. They all had studied abroad and graduated in Hotel Management or Tourism Management.
Only she came from an ordinary school with an unrelated major.
Why was she hired... Perhaps her luck had finally turned around recently, and her good fortune had burst forth.
However, Jian Yunong secretly decided to be the early bird.
"Jian Yunong..."
Someone called her name from behind.
Jian Yunong turned around to see Yi Nansheng standing in the sunlight about a meter away, smiling at her.
"Is this what you're having for lunch?"
"Um... no, why are you here again?" The coincidence felt too high; she couldn't help but feel suspicious.
"My company is nearby."
Yi Nansheng forced a smile, "It seems you really have no idea about my situation."
Jian Yunong truly didn't know.
After she blocked Yi Nansheng, she had stopped paying attention to any news about him, even skipping class reunions. She didn't want to go anywhere he might be.
"Just eating crackers? Come eat with me. Don't be casual about lunch." Yi Nansheng directly took the crackers from her hand, and Jian Yunong had no choice but to follow him into a restaurant across the street.
"Don't be careless about lunch."
Yi Nansheng smiled at her and called over two people.
"My subordinates, do you mind?"
"I don't mind."
With outsiders present, how could she mind? This way, it wouldn't be awkward.
After finishing the meal, Jian Yunong returned to the company early.
The office was very quiet; most people were still out having lunch. Walking through the office without making a sound, Jian Yunong reached the training room door, where people inside were discussing her.
"That Jian Yunong, does she have a background? I remember all the others in the same position were hired from overseas; how did they bring in a rookie from a third-rate domestic university?"
"I just saw her having lunch downstairs with one of our company's directors, and the other two sitting next to her are also high-level executives. I think it's clear what kind of connections she has."
Jian Yunong's head buzzed as she pushed the door open, and the voices inside immediately stopped.
"Have you eaten?"
"Good afternoon."
"Take a good rest; I brought two blankets, and I'll give you one. It's important for girls to keep their legs warm."
Just moments ago, these people were clearly talking bad about her, but now they switched to smiling faces to please her. Jian Yunong felt uncomfortable and declined, grabbing her things and leaving the meeting room directly.
She guessed that acting this way would only lead them to say she was ungrateful.
But Jian Yunong didn't care anymore.
Because she was quitting.
"Quitting? Why? Miss Jian, what are you dissatisfied with in our company?" the HR asked her with a smile.
"I don't even meet your hiring qualifications," Jian Yunong replied. She had looked it up online, and what those overseas returnees said was not wrong. She simply did not qualify to be here.
"We see potential in you; our company's philosophy is to hire without restrictions."
"Which leader? Yi Nansheng?" Jian Yunong put away her smile. "You tell him that I'm leaving because of him."
"No... no... Miss Jian, you misunderstood..."
Misunderstood?
She didn't want to hear any more lies.
After leaving the company, Jian Yunong took a taxi home.
That evening, Huo Jincheng called, wanting to take her to a dinner party.
"Find someone else to go with," Jian Yunong said, not wanting to participate in such events.
"Mrs. Huo, do I need to go home and fulfill my responsibilities as a husband for you to remember that you are still my wife?" Huo Jincheng's gloomy voice came through the receiver. Without waiting for Jian Yunong to respond, he dropped the line that he would pick her up at six o'clock and hung up.
At six-thirty, Jian Yunong was picked up by the driver and taken to a five-star hotel.
She wore a little black dress; Mist Shenshen had told her that if she didn't know what to wear or what the occasion was, a little black dress would never be wrong.
Huo Jincheng was talking to someone, and Jian Yunong effortlessly found him.
Some people are just naturally the most eye-catching ones in a crowd.
"Sorry, I need to excuse myself."
Huo Jincheng walked towards Jian Yunong and stopped three steps in front of her.
"It's a beautiful day."
His compliment was direct and warm, and Jian Yunong slightly pursed her lips, "Thank you."
Thank you... it felt so unfamiliar.
Huo Jincheng had intended to give her the cold shoulder for a few days, but he realized he had underestimated Jian Yunong and overestimated his own importance to her.
"Did you not buy anything today?"
Huo Jincheng hadn't received any information about card transactions from her side.
Jian Yunong was slightly taken aback and unconsciously tightened her grip on her small bag, "Oh, I just looked around. There wasn't anything I particularly wanted."
"I'll go with you next time."
Huo Jincheng smiled.
"A man accompanying a woman shopping? That's too boring."
Jian Yunong couldn't understand what was wrong with the man in front of her.
"Shopping with my woman is a pleasure," Huo Jincheng said, his voice filled with a domineering tone.
Jian Yunong pouted, "My pleasure is not shopping."
"…"
Huo Jincheng pressed his lips tightly together, and Jian Yunong silently turned her head, "I want to go eat something."
Without waiting for Huo Jincheng to respond, she walked towards the table with the cake.
From the side, a woman accidentally bumped into her, spilling her drink all over Jian Yunong.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Chu Ai apologized, "I'm really sorry…"
Huo Jincheng quickly walked to Jian Yunong's side, "What happened?"
Chu Ai nervously looked up, "Ah, I'm sorry, Mrs. Yi… I didn't mean to!"
Both Huo Jincheng and Jian Yunong were taken aback.
"You've got the wrong person," Jian Yunong said, confused.
"Um… weren't you having lunch with President Yi today?" Chu Ai seemed to just notice Huo Jincheng, "Mr. Huo, isn't she your sister?"
Huo Jincheng's expression darkened to the point where it seemed he could wring water out of it.
"Come with me."
Huo Jincheng pulled Jian Yunong outside. He was tall and long-legged, while Jian Yunong was wearing high heels, causing her to stumble as he dragged her along.
"Huo Jincheng! Let me explain!"
"Explain? Fine, I'm listening."
In the parking lot, the two stopped.
Huo Jincheng crossed his arms, a bloodthirsty smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "You’re going to tell me that you just had a meal, right?"
"Yes."
"Lunch? Weren't you out shopping?"
"…"
Perhaps lying was not the best choice; lies snowball, making everything more chaotic until it spirals out of control.
"Get in the car."
Huo Jincheng pushed Jian Yunong into the passenger seat and took the driver's seat himself.
The car sped off, and Jian Yunong couldn't help but worry about an accident.
"Huo Jincheng, you misunderstood. I was actually at work."
"You lied about a legitimate job?" Gripping the steering wheel, Huo Jincheng's veins bulged. "Do you think I would still believe someone who lies so easily?"
"I really was at work." Jian Yunong mentioned the name of the Hotel Management Company. "You can call to verify, and it was truly a coincidence that we ran into each other during lunch. It wasn't just the two of us; there were also Yi Nansheng's colleagues!"
"Don't mention his name in front of me." Huo Jincheng growled softly, " Jian Yunong, I've never seen someone as despicable as you, trying to get away from your ex while working at his company. That management company is run by Yi Nansheng. Are you going to tell me you didn't know?"
“……”
She really didn't know.
She was almost in despair.
The car stopped in front of a villa.
“Stay in the car and behave yourself.”
Huo Jincheng got out and directly knocked on the villa door. The person who opened it was Yi Nansheng. Huo Jincheng threw a punch, and Jian Yunong could feel the pain even from a distance, but the car door was locked, and she couldn't get out at all.
“Everything Le Yi gave you, I can take it all back.” Huo Jincheng flexed his wrist, making cracking sounds. “Is the Huo Family raising a white-eyed wolf? She's pregnant, and you're still so restless?”
Yi Nansheng was knocked to the ground but suddenly jumped up, raising his fist towards Huo Jincheng's face. Huo Jincheng slightly dodged, but the fist hit his cheek.
“A white-eyed wolf? The trap you set made me break up with Jian Yunong!”
Yi Nansheng was hit by another punch from Huo Jincheng, crashing heavily against the door. He didn't fall down but glared at Huo Jincheng. “What I called cheating back then was because you drugged her and made Jian Yunong see it. If it weren't for you, she and I wouldn't have broken up! Huo Jincheng, you don't deserve Jian Yunong at all; you're the one who is least qualified to have her in this world!”
Bang!
Huo Jincheng slammed Yi Nansheng against the wall beside him. “She has been betrothed to me since we were young. Unless I give up on her, do you think you can be with her? Dream on.”
