Driving all the way to the Crown Hotel, Jian Yunong got out of the car before it had even come to a complete stop. By the time Huo Jincheng caught up with her, she was already at the Front Desk negotiating with someone.
"I'm sorry, but this is a guest's privacy, and we cannot disclose that information to you."
"Is that so? If something happens, will you take responsibility? Didn't you see the woman who came with someone named Ji is drunk? She probably doesn't know anything, and you actually let someone like her check in?"
The Front Desk staff maintained a cold expression and threatened, "If you continue like this, we will have to call the police."
Jian Yunong: "..."
Huo Jincheng pulled Jian Yunong close to him. Although he was dissatisfied with her showing her lack of intelligence here, she was still his Daughter-in-law; how could he allow an outsider to intimidate her?
"Can't you speak properly?" Huo Jincheng glared at the visibly displeased Front Desk staff and directly took out his phone to call the hotel manager.
"Come to the lobby right now."
In three minutes, a middle-aged fat man arrived. "Young Master Huo, what brings you here?"
"Your Front Desk staff is giving my wife a hard time." Huo Jincheng held Jian Yunong in his arms, looking as if she had been wronged.
"What happened?" The manager looked at the Front Desk staff.
"I didn't..."
"I remember when I invested in your hotel, you were known for your exemplary service in the industry. Even if my wife was a bit anxious, does that give the Front Desk the right to intimidate her? Has your professional ethics gone to the dogs? With such impatience, what are you doing working at a hotel Front Desk? What qualifications do you have to sit here?"
Huo Jincheng comes from a family that runs hotels, and he has also worked as a waiter in a five-star hotel abroad. He understands the industry standards better than most heirs. Every criticism made by others left the manager of Crown Hotel unable to refute.
Jian Yunong quietly lifted her head from his embrace. From her angle, his strong jawline and the contours of his nose were perfect. She had always thought this man was just a lucky one born into wealth, but she was surprised to find that he could articulate his reasoning so well that it was convincing.
"Get to the point!"
Jian Yunong lightly traced circles on his chest to remind him.
Huo Jincheng caught her playful hand and kissed it gently near his lips. "Book me a room next to that couple from earlier."
The front desk staff did not dare to delay for even a moment and immediately handed Jian Yunong the key, repeatedly apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were Mr. Huo's wife."
Huo Jincheng's expression turned cold. "You are mistaken; you should provide good service to everyone who enters the hotel."
Once they entered the elevator, it was just the two of them. Jian Yunong asked her lingering question, "You aren't the chairman of this hotel, are you?"
"No."
Huo Jincheng replied casually, "I am a shareholder. Recently, I've been discussing equity acquisition."
Dynasty Hotel, Crown Hotel... these are all part of his expansion plans in A City this year, aimed at strengthening Huo Group's power.
Jian Yunong responded with an "oh" and looked down at the room key. "Why are we booking a room?"
"Are you planning to cause a scene as soon as you know the room number?" Huo Jincheng glanced at her sideways. "Jian Yunong, you really only got into this hotel because of your aunt, didn't you? You're completely unprofessional; you don't know anything about hotels."
Jian Yunong's face turned slightly red. "Do I need connections for that? Am I stupid?"
Isn't it because she couldn't get in through normal means that she had to rely on connections? Huo Jincheng, such a smart person, could see through it yet still had to point it out. It was really hard to have a proper conversation.
Huo Jincheng snorted coldly. "You do have some self-awareness."
Jian Yunong lowered her head to check her phone, trying to contact her aunt. At that moment, the elevator opened, and she stepped out, only to be quickly pulled back by Huo Jincheng.
"Not yet, okay?"
How did this fool manage to live to this age?
Huo Jincheng held her in his arms, afraid she would not pay attention again later.
"It's turned off! My aunt's phone is off! It must be that jerk!" Jian Yunong was furious, looking as if she wanted to kill someone.
Huo Jincheng spoke calmly, "What if your aunt deliberately got drunk and let that man take her here to book a room?"
"How is that possible?"
"Your aunt is an adult. She doesn't have a boyfriend; it's a normal need for her to go out with a man of the same age."
Jian Yunong scoffed. "Normal need? Is that how you, Young Master Huo, view casual hookups?"
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow. "Suit yourself."
"Then you haven't even held Bai Ru's hand; how have you dealt with it all these years? Have you solved it this way too?"
Jian Yunong immediately sensed Huo Jincheng's presence closing in, his hot breath fanning across her face as he snatched the room card from her hand.
With a beep, Jian Yunong was pushed into a room.
The room was pitch black, and Huo Jincheng didn't bother to insert the card to turn on the lights; he simply closed the door behind them. Jian Yunong couldn't help but feel a bit scared as Huo Jincheng pushed her against the wall, his heated kiss landing on her lips. The kiss was so intense that Jian Yunong felt pain from it and couldn't help but push him away. "Aren't you disgusted that I ate those smelly things? Why are you still kissing me?"
In the darkness, the man let out a low, seductive laugh. "I am a little."
He regretted it right after kissing her.
"Then hurry up and turn on the lights."
Jian Yunong urged him in a soft voice, sounding much more obedient than usual. Huo Jincheng could even feel the little woman clinging tightly to his waist, very tightly.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Huo Jincheng lifted her by her hips. Jian Yunong had never felt so small before, being picked up effortlessly by a man.
The physical disparity between them made her heart race and… her pulse quicken.
She tightened her grip around his neck. "Hurry up! I still need to save my aunt! If anything happens to her, I'll hate you for life! This isn't over between us!"
Electricity surged through the room in an instant.
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, "What if your aunt is enjoying herself? You might be interrupting her private world. Aren't you afraid she will explode your head? Hmm?"
Jian Yunong's fair little face showed fear. Her aunt hadn't gone on a date with a man for a long time; if she disturbed her, she might really get angry...
"What should I do?"
Jian Yunong looked at Huo Jincheng with anticipation. This man was so smart; he must have a solution!
Huo Jincheng was waiting for her to ask this question, "Call me husband."
"Husband."
Jian Yunong felt inexplicably deceived.
The smile on Huo Jincheng's lips deepened. Jian Yunong looked down at him and felt a dizzying warmth from his smile, like the first thaw of spring snow.
"Then you go take a shower; I don't like the smell on you."
"I can wash at home." Jian Yunong wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to let go, "Don't waste any more time!"
Huo Jincheng carried her into the bathroom, "Be good and listen to me."
Jian Yunong was placed on the sink while Huo Jincheng called the Front Desk in front of her, "Send a bouquet of flowers to room 1313 now, a bottle of red wine in ten minutes, and two sirloin steaks in twenty minutes."
Room 1313 was where Mist Shenshen and the others were staying.
"Pay attention to who is at the door when it opens."
"Then I'll just go and lie by the door now."
Huo Jincheng's eyes darkened, "Don't make me angry, or I'll go knock on the door and ruin her good fortune right now."
"Why do you say it's a good fortune? That person is definitely not a good person! Ji Shaoli is my aunt's first boyfriend!" Jian Yunong actually thought that her aunt might really take him back. After all, this kind of plot is not uncommon; there are many such examples in reality. Jian Yunong couldn't stand Huo Jincheng's certainty.
He's not a god; how can he be so sure of victory?
"Do you want me to help you wash it or will you do it yourself?"
Huo Jincheng couldn't stand the smell on Jian Yunong for even a minute.
"I'll do it myself!"
Jian Yunong quickly protected her clothes; this man actually tried to tear her clothes off. What a beast!
"Get out!"
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, "Where haven't I touched? Where haven't I kissed? Hmm? Don't challenge my patience. Your hair needs washing too!"
Jian Yunong bit her lip, "Then you get out! I'll be done soon!"
She was still waiting to save Mist Shenshen!
Jian Yunong was really quick, afraid of Huo Jincheng coming in and worried about her aunt. In eight minutes, everything was resolved. She came out with her hair damp, wearing a bathrobe.
She leaned against the door, her ear pressed to it like a gecko.
Huo Jincheng picked her up from behind. "I have surveillance."
With that one sentence, Jian Yunong obediently stopped struggling and was carried by Huo Jincheng to the sofa.
The first time she received flowers, it was Ji Shaoli who brought them.
Jian Yunong vaguely saw her aunt's hand resting on the man's waist.
She felt as if she was about to be slapped in the face.
Two minutes later, the red wine arrived on time, this time it was Mist Shenshen who opened the door, smiling brightly.
"If you're worried, I can have everyone at the hotel leave. All I need to do is press the fire alarm."
Jian Yunong bit her lip. "I don't understand. My aunt clearly said she hated Ji Shaoli! When she had that incident last time, I mentioned receiving a call from Ji Shaoli and she was really unhappy about it and even scolded me. Why is it different now…"
"Women are all creatures of contradiction," Huo Jincheng said coldly, his gaze fixed on Jian Yunong's face.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jian Yunong felt that he was referring to her when he spoke about women.
"Don't bring gender into this. I think men feel the same way. Men have a special feeling for their ex-girlfriends, right? Even if they are married, don't they still feel like their ex-girlfriends are their women or their responsibility?"
Jian Yunong pushed him away and was about to get down, but Huo Jincheng held her waist, "Don't move, I'll dry your hair."
He wrapped her wet hair in a towel and gently absorbed the water bit by bit. Huo Jincheng was much more meticulous than her; he showed such patience with her hair while Jian Yunong herself was quite casual.
"When are we going home?"
Jian Yunong noticed the time; it was getting late, almost one in the morning.
She yawned and said, "Let's not dry it anymore; it will dry on its own when we get back. I just want to sleep quickly."
Huo Jincheng ignored her and took a hairdryer to dry her hair.
The sound of the wind filled her ears as Jian Yunong leaned against him and slowly closed her eyes.
She really wanted to ask him, with such tenderness, why he hadn't pursued Bai Ru?
