"If I weren't here, what would happen to your little frame in the subway?" Huo Jincheng had been following her all the way. The subway was too crowded, and it took him some time to find her, only to see her huddled up, looking like she had been bullied.
Huo Jincheng's hand pushed away the people around them, placing her between the wall and his chest. The faint scent of grass and wood on him wrapped around her nose, inexplicably bringing her a sense of peace.
Jian Yunong blinked her misty eyes, looking pitiful. "It's too crowded in the subway."
Huo Jincheng raised his hand and gently brushed her cheek. "Who bullied you?"
His voice was low and warm, filled with intimacy. Jian Yunong felt a wave of grievance wash over her as she bit her lip. "It's too crowded; I didn't see. Maybe someone bumped into me accidentally."
Huo Jincheng's expression turned serious, his tone becoming sharp. "From now on, you must take my car."
"But... but that would be... not very good for your image..."
"What's it affecting?"
Huo Jincheng's tone grew even harsher. "What are you afraid of? What are you scared of?"
At that moment, the subway suddenly came to a stop, decelerating rapidly. Jian Yunong was thrown to the left due to inertia, and Huo Jincheng wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
"Don't move."
Huo Jincheng suddenly found that being squeezed in the subway had its advantages; at least Jian Yunong would actively hold onto him.
"Weren't you the one who said... it was a secret marriage?"
Jian Yunong weakly leaned against his chest. She wanted to stand up but felt as if she was being held and couldn't find a way to pull away.
Huo Jincheng held her tighter, "A hidden marriage is still a marriage. You must always remember that I am your husband."
He whispered softly in her ear.
"Remember, remember." He was always there beside her reminding her; how could she dare to forget this?
Ten minutes later, Jian Yunong gently reminded, "We're at our stop."
As they got off the subway, Jian Yunong quickened her pace slightly, subtly creating some distance from Huo Jincheng.
At that moment, the elevator doors opened. Jian Yunong hurriedly stepped inside, and Huo Jincheng followed closely behind her with his long strides.
Huo Jincheng glanced at Jian Yunong with a hint of coldness. What was she trying to do? Did she want to shake him off? She had just been holding him tightly on the subway.
"Handsome!"
The two female students standing next to Jian Yunong were filled with excitement. "Are you a celebrity? Have you acted in any shows? You're so handsome! Can you give me your contact information? WeChat ID or Weibo account or something?"
Girls these days are really proactive. Jian Yunong silently assessed the girl who spoke; she had long, straight legs and a face full of collagen, and most importantly, she was well-developed.
As a woman, Jian Yunong thought she was beautiful!
Huo Jincheng looked at Jian Yunong and noticed her indifferent expression. Anger surged in his heart as he pulled her into his arms, "That depends on whether my wife is happy."
Huo Jincheng even planted a kiss on Jian Yunong's cheek.
The female student instantly changed her expression, and her gaze towards Jian Yunong became unpleasant, as if to say, "Is Huo Jincheng blind...?"
Jian Yunong, being a woman herself, of course understood what women were thinking.
"I won't take the subway anymore, darling." Jian Yunong leaned against Huo Jincheng's chest, looking a bit tired and unwilling to speak.
Just then, the elevator doors opened. Huo Jincheng wrapped his arm around her and led her out. "Then I'll drive here to pick you up every day."
Once they exited the subway, Huo Jincheng's car was already waiting by the roadside.
The two got into the car.
Jian Yunong couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"You should have seen the expressions on those two female students' faces. They followed us out of the subway and watched us get in the car."
Through the rearview mirror, Jian Yunong could still see them standing in place.
When the driver came down to open the door for them, they must have all seen it. Huo Jincheng's Bentley Mulsanne was unmistakably valuable; anyone who wasn't blind could tell.
However, there was no smile on Huo Jincheng's face. "Is it that funny? Do I have to pull you out for you to fulfill your duties as Mrs. Huo?"
Jian Yunong blinked. "You didn't mention this point in the rules we set when we got married."
Mr. Huo attracted women; she wasn't unaware of that for the first time.
Just Dynasty, and there are many female employees who like him.
Handsome and wealthy, he is simply a walking hormone.
If Jian Yunong insists on blocking him... that would be like a mantis trying to stop a car, overestimating her own abilities.
"I have already fulfilled my duties as a husband, shouldn't you return the favor, Jian Yunong?" Huo Jincheng pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear.
Jian Yunong shrank her neck, grinding her teeth. It wasn't her request; it was this person who insisted...
"Huo Jincheng, if you want to have an affair with someone else, can I really stop you? I can't. Why make me help you fend off unwanted advances? Can't you just refuse them yourself? Is it that you can't refuse?"
Jian Yunong pouted, "As long as you men don't want it, can women still force themselves on you?"
Huo Jincheng suddenly lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss. He still preferred the quiet Jian Yunong. Every time he said something, she would retort. Only when they were intimate did her sharp little mouth produce enchanting sounds that were endearing and lovable.
Jian Yunong really disliked Huo Jincheng's habit of kissing her lips at every turn, especially with the driver and assistant in the front seat.
"Don't make a scene... there are people in front..."
A flush crept onto Jian Yunong's face as Huo Jincheng raised his eyes and shot a cold glare at the front seat. The driver and assistant immediately straightened up, avoiding eye contact.
When the car reached the villa's entrance, a figure suddenly darted in front of the car. The driver slammed on the brakes, startled, and blurted out upon seeing the woman with open arms in front of the car, "Miss Bai!"
Jian Yunong lifted her head from Huo Jincheng's embrace. In front of the car stood Bai Ru, pale-faced. Even looking a bit disheveled, she was still an incredibly beautiful woman, beautiful enough to evoke sympathy.
Huo Jincheng tightened his grip on Jian Yunong's wrist involuntarily.
"Honey."
Huo Jincheng looked away from Jian Yunong's calm face upon hearing her voice. "Miss Bai might be looking for you because there's something urgent."
Jian Yunong got out of the car and nodded slightly as she passed Bai Ru. "I know you don't like me, so I won't invite you in. After all, that's my wedding house with him."
Bai Ru's face showed a hint of desolation, mixed with a stubbornness and an almost imperceptible anger. Despite Jian Yunong appearing to be less than herself in many ways, she somehow firmly occupied the position of Mrs. Huo.
The elders of the Huo Family, who were adamantly against her, favored Jian Yunong simply because she had suffered a bit of grievance and wanted to suppress Bai Ru.
This Jian Yunong was truly not simple.
Bai Ru coldly withdrew her gaze, opened the car door, and sat inside.
Huo Jincheng remained in the car and did not get out.
Jian Yunong glanced back as she closed the door.
The driver and assistant had both exited the vehicle, leaving only Huo Jincheng and Bai Ru inside.
"Madam, what would you like for dinner?"
Jian Yunong came down after taking a shower, and Zhang Ma emerged from the kitchen.
"Um? Let's see what you like to eat, sir." In front of Zhang Ma, Jian Yunong addressed Huo Jincheng as "sir."
"The sir is not home for dinner."
Jian Yunong paused, her hand that was drying her hair stopped. "Zhang Ma, whatever you make, I will eat. I'm not picky."
Zhang Ma sighed and turned to go into the kitchen.
She glanced at her phone and saw a missed call from Huo Jincheng, but she didn't want to call back.
No matter the reason, it held no meaning for her, and she didn't want to hear it.
That evening, Jian Yunong received a multimedia message.
A photo of Huo Jincheng half-embracing Bai Ru popped up, occupying her entire phone screen.
The message was from an unknown number, which Jian Yunong did not recognize.
Who would be so bored as to meddle in her affairs with him?
Jian Yunong casually tossed her phone aside and lay down to sleep.
In the middle of the night, half-asleep, Jian Yunong woke up to see a shadow standing by her bed and was startled.
She hurriedly turned on the room light and found that the person standing by the bed was Huo Jincheng.
"You're back?" Jian Yunong couldn't help but feel a bit angry. "You're really scary like this, you know?"
"Did you sleep well?"
Huo Jincheng exhaled a breath of alcohol, his voice deep and alluring.
Jian Yunong lay down by the bed. "I slept very well. If it weren't for you, I could have slept even better."
"How can you sleep well after seeing something like this?" Huo Jincheng held Jian Yunong's phone in his hand, and as soon as he opened the screen, there was a multimedia message from an unknown number.
Jian Yunong reached up to touch her chin. "The photo looks like it was taken secretly. Why would someone send me this? Probably to keep me awake. If I really can't sleep, wouldn't that be just what they want? Not sleeping well makes one age faster, gain weight, and get sick..."
Bang!
Huo Jincheng expressionlessly smashed Jian Yunong's phone.
Jian Yunong flinched in fear.
"Are you done?" Huo Jincheng stood up, his long fingers expressionlessly starting to unbutton his shirt.
Jian Yunong was too familiar with him like this and lightly curled her lips. "You've had too much to drink. I'll get you a glass of water."
She got out of bed barefoot, only to be caught around the waist by Huo Jincheng.
Jian Yunong felt a certain tension in her body reach its peak. "What? Are you going to force me again?"
"Put on your shoes!"
Huo Jincheng's annoyed voice came from above.
Jian Yunong then realized that she wasn't wearing any shoes.
She walked out of the room, poured herself a glass of water on the first floor, and then quietly took out what she had asked Wangcai for that day from her bag and swallowed one.
Huo Jincheng was already lying on the bed. If it weren't for the smell of alcohol emanating from him, one would hardly know he was drunk.
"Drink," Jian Yunong said as she handed him the cup.
However, Huo Jincheng showed no intention of taking it. "Feed me."
Jian Yunong looked at him coldly, sat down at the edge of the bed, and brought the cup to his lips.
Huo Jincheng grabbed her wrist, a cold smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Use your mouth to feed me."
Jian Yunong simply poured all the water in the cup onto Huo Jincheng's face.
The warm water dripped down his distinct features, showing no sign of embarrassment whatsoever.
"Did you suffer at Bai Ru's place and come here to act like a big shot?" Jian Yunong glared at him. Her words were sharp, but her body trembled. "If you don't respect me, don't expect me to serve you well."
