Huo Jincheng just glanced at Bai Ru, then turned around and opened the car door. "Let's go home."
"Huo Jincheng," Bai Ru's voice was filled with reluctance. "Do you really have to do this? Cut off all ties?"
Jian Yunong had just sat in the car, and the door hadn't closed yet. She instinctively looked at Huo Jincheng, only to meet his smiling eyes.
Huo Jincheng raised his hand and gently stroked her cheek before closing the car door and walking around to get in from the other side.
"Drive."
Huo Jincheng's indifferent voice commanded.
His actions spoke volumes.
Jian Yunong didn't expect Huo Jincheng to be so decisive. Was it because she was present? This thought was quickly dismissed by Jian Yunong. Huo Jincheng was inherently proud. There was no need for Young Master Huo to put on a show in front of her; she wasn't worthy of it.
Jian Yunong quietly glanced at the rearview mirror; Bai Ru was still standing there, looking lonely... Ah! But wasn't Bai Ru supposed to have a new boyfriend? The term "lonely" didn't suit Bai Ru at all.
"What are you looking at?" Huo Jincheng's cool voice broke in. "Do you feel sorry for her or something?"
"I didn't say anything."
"Your eyes are saying it all." Huo Jincheng poked her lightly. "What’s wrong? Am I lacking friends? Do I have to be friends with her again?"
"Yes, yes, yes, I think you're doing great." Jian Yunong quickly protected her forehead. "Just talk; please don't get physical, okay?"
"Alright." Huo Jincheng smiled as he pulled Jian Yunong into his embrace. "Let me tell you, don’t even think about me getting back together with her; that's not going to happen. Just be my Mrs. Huo, okay?"
Jian Yunong struggled with her stiff body, "Don't overthink it, it's bad for your health."
Although she had thought about it, she would never admit it.
Jian Yunong didn't realize that she looked angry but couldn't say anything. Huo Jincheng's fingers slid across her face, a gesture that made Jian Yunong quite unhappy. However, Huo Jincheng said something that pleased her, like asking what Jian Yunong wanted to eat later.
Jian Yunong listed a series of things she wanted to eat.
"That's too much," Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow. "Are we having a full banquet? You can only order three dishes."
Three dishes were too few. But having something was better than nothing; she could enjoy two meals of Huo Jincheng's cooking. The dishes ordered this time and next time would surely be different.
Jian Yunong calculated carefully, yet after finishing the meal, she still found herself longing for Huo Jincheng's signature dishes.
After dinner, Jian Yunong took the initiative to clean up the bowls.
Huo Jincheng stopped her, "Leave it there, I'll do it."
"Why?"
He was the one who cooked, and she had just put in the effort to eat heartily; of course, she should handle the trivial task of washing the dishes.
Huo Jincheng took the bowl from her hands, "What if you break something?"
"I'll be careful."
"I will feel heartbroken." The softness in Huo Jincheng's eyes made Jian Yunong's heart inexplicably race.
"I... I..." Her voice unconsciously lowered, "I will be careful."
Huo Jincheng quickly entered the kitchen.
He had a slight obsession with cleanliness; the housekeeper wouldn't come here often, and he wouldn't let things pile up overnight.
Jian Yunong watched his busy figure, feeling warmth wash over her, but then she began to worry about how to get through the night.
Ah, ah, ah... She had been so focused on eating that she hadn't noticed how late it had gotten. It was once again the hardest time of the day to endure.
Jian Yunong sat in front of the vanity, hesitating whether to take a pill.
But what if she took it and Huo Jincheng wasn't interested?
Jian Yunong picked up the pill but then set it back down.
But if he did become interested and she hadn't taken the pill, wouldn't that be worse than death?
The vibration of her phone caught Jian Yunong's attention.
A savior has arrived!
If Huo Jincheng's friend suddenly called him out, then Jian Yunong wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Jian Yunong picked up the phone and saw it was an unfamiliar number. She casually swiped the screen, not expecting it to connect.
Huo Jincheng's phone surprisingly had no password.
"Huo Jincheng..."
A woman's soft voice came from the other end, "Do you know where your brother is?"
"Sister-in-law. Please hold on a moment, Huo Jincheng is still getting ready. I'll have him call you back shortly."
The voice on the other end suddenly rose an octave, "Why did you answer his phone?"
Hearing her agitation, Jian Yunong felt confused. "Is there a problem?"
Just then, Huo Jincheng returned. Jian Yunong immediately handed him the phone. "Sister-in-law needs to talk to you."
Huo Jincheng had no intention of taking the phone; instead, he asked Jian Yunong, "What’s going on?"
Jian Yunong's hand hovered in the air as she watched Huo Jincheng take off his clothes and turned her eyes away. "She said she wants to know where your brother is."
Huo Jincheng changed into a bathrobe and lazily lay down on the bed, his indifferent attitude revealing a hint of coldness. "If she doesn't even know where her own husband is, how would I know?"
Jian Yunong had no choice but to relay this message gently. "I'm sorry, Huo Jincheng doesn’t know."
"I want to speak to Huo Jincheng directly. You let him answer the phone." Bai Yaoyao did not believe Jian Yunong's words at all and spoke with a commanding tone, "You let him answer the phone."
Jian Yunong could only lean next to Huo Jincheng and say, "Take this. She wants to speak to you directly."
Huo Jincheng's gaze fell on the tablet, and Jian Yunong had no choice but to hold her phone in front of him. Now he couldn't pretend not to see or hear, could he?
Huo Jincheng took it, using one hand to pull Jian Yunong closer, causing her to fall into his embrace.
Jian Yunong remembered, but her waist was already under his control; his hands were like iron walls, and she couldn't move at all.
"Well. You have no right to interfere in my brother's matters, and I have even less right. Sister-in-law, Jian Yunong is not feeling well, so I’ll hang up now."
Huo Jincheng quickly dismissed Bai Yaoyao with a few words.
Jian Yunong lay against his chest, displeased, and said, "You're using me as an excuse again."
"Are you feeling better?" Huo Jincheng breathed lightly, his deep eyes filled with a familiar dark desire for Jian Yunong. "Let me check."
"Check what? You're not a doctor."
As soon as the words left her mouth, Jian Yunong's world suddenly flipped upside down; she found herself lying on the bed while Huo Jincheng held her down with both arms.
Here it comes again.
She hadn't taken her medicine yet.
Jian Yunong felt Huo Jincheng's hands wandering over her skin; his cool fingertips ignited not flames but the disgust and fear deep within her heart.
Huo Jincheng's kiss descended, and Jian Yunong couldn't help but push against his chest, a reflexive defensive posture.
Huo Jincheng's hoarse voice carried an inexplicable interruption, "What's wrong?"
Last night, Jian Yunong had been passionate and fiery, responding eagerly beneath him, soft like a pool of spring water. That's why Huo Jincheng couldn't control himself. He prided himself on having good self-control; during the years he pursued Bai Ru, he hadn't even managed to steal a few kisses, nor had he lingered in the flowerbeds like Xu Yizhi.
Even if it was just for show, he looked down on it.
Xu Yizhi had even asked him if he was sexually indifferent; was that not the case?
Huo Jincheng's answer was that he simply wasn't interested.
Those people could not pique his interest.
However, it wasn't quite like that; he just hadn't encountered anyone who stirred his desire for indulgence.
Jian Yunong struggled to control her expression as Huo Jincheng's gaze was thick and sticky enough to be suffocating. She felt a sudden thud in her heart.
If she forcibly pushed him away, would it make him very unhappy?
"I... I need to use the restroom."
Huo Jincheng's expression was slightly strange.
"Go ahead."
Huo Jincheng waved his hand.
Jian Yunong immediately slipped out of bed, moving so quickly that she almost stumbled.
"Um..." Jian Yunong said weakly, "Could you help me get a glass of water downstairs? I'm a bit thirsty."
Huo Jincheng got up from the bed and walked over to Jian Yunong, pinching her on the backside, "What else? Say it all at once."
"Nothing... nothing else..."
Jian Yunong quickly slipped into the bathroom.
As soon as Huo Jincheng left the room, she hurried out, quickly opening the box on her vanity, finding only two pills left.
Tomorrow, she must go find Wangcai again.
"What are you doing?"
Huo Jincheng, who should have been downstairs, suddenly turned back.
Jian Yunong was holding the pills in her hand, and at that moment, her heart raced. In her panic, she tilted her head back and swallowed the remaining two pills without any water.
It felt uncomfortable!
There was no water at all, and they got stuck in her throat.
Huo Jincheng walked over to her and opened a bottle of water to feed her.
As the refreshing water went down her throat, Jian Yunong felt slightly better.
"What did you just eat?" Huo Jincheng rummaged through Jian Yunong's vanity, where there was only an empty glass bottle left, with no packaging at all.
Jian Yunong calmly replied, "Vitamins."
"Vitamins? Why did you hurriedly swallow them as soon as you saw me?"
Huo Jincheng clearly didn't believe her words.
"Afraid you would snatch them from me..." Jian Yunong lowered her voice, "Vitamin C tablets, they're sweet and sour. Really delicious."
Huo Jincheng: "..."
Marrying a foodie as a daughter-in-law is indeed quite entertaining.
Huo Jincheng couldn't help but laugh, "Are you silly? Do I look like someone who would fight you for something like that?"
Jian Yunong looked at him with her big watery eyes, her innocent expression clearly saying one word: Yes!
Huo Jincheng picked Jian Yunong up in his arms. Her hands wrapped around his neck, and her warm cheeks buried against his neck.
Last night’s irresistible Jian Yunong had returned.
The next day, Jian Yunong went to the bar alone.
Wang Cai led her to the office on the second floor. "What do you need so many aphrodisiacs for?"
Last time, Jian Yunong asked for a small amount, and Wang Cai gave it to her.
But this time, Jian Yunong's request was several times more than before.
Wang Cai had to be cautious.
"Just give me whatever you can. I promise I'm not doing anything bad," Jian Yunong said as she took out her savings.
Wang Cai waved his hand. "Taking money would ruin our friendship. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to get into college."
In the end, Wang Cai gave Jian Yunong the same amount as last time.
Jian Yunong muttered to herself that with this many doses, she should be able to get pregnant soon.
Once she was pregnant, she wouldn't have to endure intimacy anymore.
Wang Cai saw Jian Yunong out through the back door of the bar. "By the way, there's a class reunion next week. You should come too."
