Jian Yunong could only raise her cup to drink.
But she didn't know that some things shouldn't have a beginning; once they do, the consequences can be severe.
"Have another drink."
"No... I can't anymore..."
"One more drink, and this contract is yours."
"Okay..."
A cup rushed down, and Jian Yunong's tears were about to come out. "I don't feel well; I need to go out for a bit."
"What's wrong? Don't run away! What if you end up like your aunt and never come back? You can't go! Finish your drink! Finish it!"
Are these people crazy?
Jian Yunong wasn't like Mist Shenshen, who would foolishly let others force her to drink.
Drunk, Jian Yunong's complexion was flushed, her skin pale with a rosy hue, and her face flawless, making those who looked at her feel tempted.
Under the influence of alcohol, some men began to stir, approaching Jian Yunong to propose a toast.
Jian Yunong was overwhelmed by the man's alcohol breath and words, feeling nauseous and covering her lips with a distressed expression.
At that moment, the door to the private room opened.
Huo Jincheng appeared at the doorway, his expression dark and exuding an intimidating aura.
"Mr. Huo!"
"Young Master Huo!"
"Third Young Master Huo!"
Everyone stood up.
Although Huo Jincheng was just a businessman, he wielded immense power and influence behind the scenes, and everyone wanted to build a good relationship with him.
Huo Jincheng ignored everyone and focused solely on the one woman who remained seated.
Jian Yunong had no idea what was happening; she only knew that the annoying fly beside her had disappeared, allowing her to quietly vomit into the towel.
Huo Jincheng walked straight to Jian Yunong's side, and someone immediately offered to give up their seat for him.
Third Young Master Huo showed no interest in sitting in someone else's spot. He frowned slightly, and his assistant quickly called over a waiter, "Bring a new chair, one that hasn't been used by anyone else and has been sanitized."
The person who had just offered their seat suddenly felt embarrassed; could they afford to offend him? Of course not. They could only move aside.
Huo Jincheng sat down next to Jian Yunong, who still looked dazed, tightly gripping her wine glass.
"Mr. Huo, let me toast you," someone stood up to offer a drink. It was a stunningly beautiful woman. Huo Jincheng glanced at her but did not give her any face. "I don't drink."
"Mr. Huo, I haven't introduced myself yet..."
She was not discouraged and walked over to Huo Jincheng, extending her hand in an attempt to shake his.
However, Huo Jincheng completely ignored her hand and looked towards Jian Yunong instead.
She did not respond, unsure if she had heard him or not.
"Jian Yunong."
He called her name in a low voice.
Jian Yunong blinked, feeling a bit confused, and slowly raised her head to search for the source of the familiar voice. She looked across but, of course, did not see Huo Jincheng. She mumbled a few words in fear, thinking she could see him wherever she went.
Huo Jincheng was right next to her, and his expression suddenly became inscrutable.
A colleague beside her poked her. "Mr. Huo is calling you."
Only then did Jian Yunong look over and see the handsome man wearing a very displeased expression, one that was extremely unpleasant. "You’re here..."
Her body uncontrollably leaned towards him, and Jian Yunong pounced into his arms, her small hands grabbing at his clothes a couple of times before ultimately choosing to hold onto him.
This action inexplicably smoothed the furrowed brow of the man.
Everyone present was stunned.
Huo Jincheng, who had severe cleanliness issues, actually embraced a drunken woman and didn’t even get angry. This was simply…
Huo Jincheng swiftly picked Jian Yunong up horizontally.
“The contract…”
Jian Yunong hadn’t forgotten about this task.
Huo Jincheng paused for a moment, glanced at his secretary, who immediately understood and stayed behind.
Jian Yunong had already fallen asleep in Huo Jincheng's arms, her breathing long and steady, curled up like a little kitten.
She slept all the way home, where Huo Jincheng placed her on the sofa.
Jian Yunong reeked of alcohol, and Huo Jincheng really didn’t want to toss her onto the bed unless he didn’t want to sleep that night.
“Get up, go take a shower.”
Huo Jincheng gently patted Jian Yunong's cheek, and she slowly woke up. The next moment, she rubbed her cheek, pouted in annoyance, and was about to cry, "No, I don't want to take a bath. I want to sleep."
She was just like a spoiled child.
"No way. If you don't take a bath, you can't eat dinner or sleep tonight."
Jian Yunong stopped in a daze and tilted her head to look at Huo Jincheng, "Fine then."
She actually compromised for food.
Huo Jincheng helplessly rubbed his forehead; his silly daughter-in-law loved food more than anything else in this life.
Jian Yunong sat up and began to take off her clothes, lifting the hem of her skirt and pushing it up with nimble hands and feet. In just a minute, she had stripped herself down.
Huo Jincheng's gaze deepened as he reached out to pinch her chin, "Taking it off here?"
Jian Yunong raised her hands to hug him, "I want a hug. Carry me to take a bath."
Huo Jincheng swallowed hard; he didn't expect the drunken cat-like Jian Yunong to be so... cute. The drunken woman was soft and pliable, allowing him to lift her by the hips and carry her to the bathroom.
The water in the bathtub was ready. Huo Jincheng placed her inside; the water temperature was just right. Jian Yunong lay there like a mermaid, obediently letting him arrange everything.
"You really are beautiful."
Jian Yunong smiled foolishly at Huo Jincheng.
For Huo Jincheng, the word "good-looking" was hardly a compliment.
"I don't want to wash my hair."
Jian Yunong began to struggle, the water getting into her eyes was uncomfortable.
"Be good, if you don't wash it clean, how will you eat later?"
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow slightly, his deep voice carrying an unshakeable intensity. Jian Yunong leaned against the edge of the bathtub and obediently let him handle her.
Huo Jincheng cleaned Jian Yunong from head to toe, and when there was no longer any trace of alcohol or other men's scents, he finally lifted her out of the bathtub.
The warm air blew through her hair as Jian Yunong nestled in his embrace, asking when they would eat.
"Are you that anxious? Hmm?"
Huo Jincheng bit her delicate ear, his tingling breath making Jian Yunong uncomfortable. She turned her head away, "Are you lying to me?"
Huo Jincheng stood up and slowly began to undress, "How could I lie to you? Hmm?"
Jian Yunong licked her lips, "You have such a great figure."
Perfect texture, eight-pack abs, and a mermaid line.
"Is it real?"
Jian Yunong's expression showed a hint of eagerness. Her usual married life with Huo Jincheng was always characterized by resistance, let alone appreciating or praising him.
He knelt on one leg by the bed and tempted her, "Want to give it a try?"
"Sure." Jian Yunong was not shy at all. She crawled over and immediately started to touch, squeezing here and poking there. Pouting, she concluded, "So hard."
Huo Jincheng leaned down and pushed Jian Yunong back, "There's something even harder. Want to try?"
Jian Yunong's full red lips and her drunken, dazed eyes looked at him in confusion. This expression caused all of Huo Jincheng's defenses to crumble...
"You liar... liar..."
A foodie’s voice intermittently broke through amidst the chaos.
A night passed.
Jian Yunong was awakened by a call from Mist Shenshen.
"Nong Nong, are you okay?"
Jian Yunong was still in a daze. When she sat up, she realized her whole body was sore, and even her throat felt hoarse. "I'm just sore, my whole body hurts."
Mist Shenshen remained silent for a full half minute.
"Auntie, how are you?"
Jian Yunong struggled to get out of bed. As soon as she stood up, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the floor. Her voice trembled with tears. "Auntie... I think I've drunk so much that I've paralyzed my legs..."
Mist Shenshen was startled. "What did you say?"
"I can't stand up."
Jian Yunong leaned against the side of the bed. "Auntie, I will never drink again... Wuwuwu..."
"Don't panic, Nong Nong. Call your husband and have him take you to the hospital."
"Auntie, please come quickly... I'm so scared..."
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Mist Shenshen hung up the phone and called Huo Jincheng.
"Mr. Huo."
"What happened?" Huo Jincheng's voice was cold.
"Nong Nong said her legs are paralyzed and she's scared to tears. Are you home? Go check on her..."
"Mm."
Mist Shenshen hung up the phone, feeling inexplicably annoyed by the man's one-word response.
When Ji Shaoli entered, he saw Mist Shenshen getting out of bed, putting on high heels, looking like she was about to go out.
"You should rest."
"I need to see Nong Nong. I shouldn't have left her there yesterday. What if something happens to her because of alcohol poisoning?"
Mist Shenshen had only this one relative left.
"I'll go with you."
Ji Shaoli picked her up, saying, "You still need to take care of your health."
Mist Shenshen pressed her lips together; if she weren't still weak, she would definitely push him away.
Half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
Huo Jincheng opened the door, and Mist Shenshen smiled at him. "Mr. Huo, how is Nong Nong doing?"
"She's fine."
"Is she really fine?"
As soon as Mist Shenshen said this, Huo Jincheng's expression stiffened slightly. Mist Shenshen immediately realized she had misspoken and explained with a smile, "That girl was crying sadly on the phone."
"She's fine."
Huo Jincheng's expression grew even worse.
Jian Yunong had just stopped crying a moment ago. Knowing her aunt had arrived, she directly hid under the covers and refused to come out.
"I want to see her."
Mist Shenshen knew that even if it meant offending this man, she had to check on Nong Nong. After all, this man had no feelings for Jian Yunong.
Huo Jincheng slightly turned to the side, allowing Mist Shenshen to enter.
Ji Shaoli did not follow them inside but nodded slightly to Huo Jincheng as a greeting.
Huo Jincheng did not invite him in either; this was his home, and outsiders, especially men, were not welcome.
"Nong Nong..." Mist Shenshen dug Jian Yunong out from under the covers. Seeing her red, teary eyes, her tone softened, "What's wrong? Aunty can take you to the hospital, okay?"
Jian Yunong's face gradually turned red. "Aunty, it's fine."
"Mm? Why not? Don't be afraid, Aunty is here. You can tell me anything."
"I..." Jian Yunong bit the corner of the blanket. "I didn't drink because of that..."
"Then what happened? Out of nowhere, how could you say your legs are paralyzed?"
Jian Yunong was usually a bit dazed, and Mist Shenshen couldn't help but worry about her.
"I... it's all Huo Jincheng's fault..."
Jian Yunong was angry; her face was just flushed and her eyes were red, making her look shy no matter how one looked at it.
Mist Shenshen: "..."
They're all adults; Mist Shenshen quickly realized what was going on.
Mr. Huo looked all reserved but turned out to be a beast.
