Bai Yaoyao looked up at her, her eyes filled with malice. "Are you particularly pleased with yourself? Hmm?"
Jian Yunong never expected her to say that. "If I were pleased, why would I come over to help you? I should have taken out my phone to record this moment. Sister-in-law, don't you think?"
Bai Yaoyao's face turned even uglier as she gritted her teeth and said, "You dare!"
Jian Yunong saw her fierce expression and quietly advised, "Why don't you stand up first?"
Sitting on the ground while being fierce actually diminished her intimidation.
If the Servants saw this, it would be Bai Yaoyao who would be embarrassed.
Bai Yaoyao struggled to stand up but realized she couldn't because her ankle was sprained. However, Bai Yaoyao insisted on getting up.
After taking a few steps, cold sweat began to trickle down her forehead.
"You, come here!" Bai Yaoyao shouted at Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong walked over and took Bai Yaoyao's hand.
With Jian Yunong's support, Bai Yaoyao was finally able to return indoors.
When they reached the first floor, Huo Jincheng happened to come back from outside. Jian Yunong called him over, "Quick, help out. Sister-in-law sprained her ankle."
Huo Jincheng looked lazy and kept walking. "I'm not a doctor."
Dropping this remark, Huo Jincheng went upstairs leisurely.
Bai Yaoyao bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. Jian Yunong thought that Bai Yaoyao was crying because of Huo Jincheng's indifferent attitude and quickly explained, "That's just his temperament; he might have encountered something outside."
Jian Yunong meant well, but Bai Yaoyao was ungrateful and responded coldly, "I know him better than you do. I understand what kind of person he is more than you."
Jian Yunong nodded and released her hand from supporting Bai Yaoyao. "That was my fault; I won't do this kind of thing again."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huo Jincheng's voice came from upstairs.
"Nong Nong! Come up. Where did you put my pajamas?"
Strangely, she had never handled his clothes. Jian Yunong still hurried upstairs. As soon as she entered the room, Huo Jincheng hugged her.
Jian Yunong gasped in surprise, and Huo Jincheng forcefully took away her breath, kissing her fiercely and heavily. The ambiguous sound of water was intoxicating; Jian Yunong's tongue tingled, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
"What’s wrong with you?" Jian Yunong finally gained her freedom before suffocating and immediately raised her hand to cover her lips, cautiously retreating.
Huo Jincheng's gaze burned into her, confirming that Jian Yunong truly did not understand why he was angry. Seeing Jian Yunong's pouting expression made Huo Jincheng unable to stay angry.
What a silly daughter-in-law.
Jian Yunong did not understand the complexities within the Huo family; the most she knew was which chef made which dish delicious.
Huo Jincheng placed her on the bed, his expression indifferent. "In the future, don't go over to Sister-in-law's side unless there's something important."
"Oh." As long as Huo Jincheng didn't make any moves on her, she was willing to do anything. Moreover, Bai Yaoyao was really not a likable person. Jian Yunong helped her out of courtesy, as a requirement of her personal cultivation, and Jian Yunong never expected to receive a thank you from Bai Yaoyao. However, it was best not to have to deal with her at all.
Huo Jincheng liked Jian Yunong's quiet demeanor and patted her head, saying, "From now on, if there's anything at home, just have the Servant do it."
Jian Yunong blinked; people from wealthy families were a bit lazy, so there were some things they couldn't do themselves.
"Okay." Jian Yunong nodded obediently.
Only then did Huo Jincheng turn to the cloakroom to change clothes.
Jian Yunong leaned against the doorframe. Although she was slow-witted, she vaguely sensed that Huo Jincheng's mood seemed to be a bit better than before, so she took the opportunity to make a request, "Um... I want to go back to work next week."
There was some rustling in the cloakroom, and Huo Jincheng came out dressed in a black patterned bathrobe that accentuated his bright and sharp black eyes.
"Isn't it good at home?" Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow as he walked toward the small bar. When Jian Yunong saw him pick up a cup to pour water, she immediately rushed over.
"Let me do it!" Jian Yunong took the kettle, her movements even showing a hint of servility and flattery. "I'll pour it for you, Mr. Huo. How could I trouble you with such a small matter?"
She presented the cup with both hands, her eyes sparkling with light.
If there had been a tail behind her at that moment, it would surely have been wagging joyfully.
Huo Jincheng took the cup and turned toward the study. Jian Yunong followed closely behind like a little tail.
Huo Jincheng said nothing, his beautifully slender fingers holding the crystal cup as he stared at the numbers on the screen that Jian Yunong couldn't understand.
“Mr. Huo.”
“Tell me why you want to work.”
“It’s boring staying at home. I’m still young; I can’t just be useless.”
Huo Jincheng smiled faintly, “You know you’re useless.”
Jian Yunong detected his sarcasm but felt too exhausted to retort.
Huo Jincheng managed the hotel group, which was initially the least favored branch of the Huo Family. Through his own efforts, he expanded three hotels into a sizable hotel group and established the Hotel Management Company. He was not the type of rich second generation who did nothing but rely on his family.
When Jian Yunong worked previously, she finally set aside her carefree attitude and thoroughly reviewed the company manual, concluding that Huo Jincheng must have been blind to marry her.
It was likely that car accident had damaged his brain.
Jian Yunong knew how capable Huo Jincheng was, and a sense of respect grew in her heart.
“No one is born knowing everything,” Jian Yunong said, wringing her hands together. “I don’t want people to say I’m useless. Aside from being Mrs. Mu, I’m good for nothing.”
The sight of Silly Daughter-in-Law looking down with a pitiful expression softened Huo Jincheng’s heart.
With a long arm, he pulled Jian Yunong into his embrace, having her sit on his lap.
“You do know you are Mrs. Mu, right?” Huo Jincheng pinched Jian Yunong’s chubby little chin between his fingers, stroking that delicate and smooth spot, his voice carrying a hint of displeasure.
Jian Yunong looked at him in confusion.
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow slightly, "You are a woman, why do you need me to teach you how to act cute?"
Jian Yunong realized, "Husband."
Huo Jincheng's eyes gradually filled with amusement, but he did not show it.
"Is... is... husband... good?" Jian Yunong forced herself to act cute.
Huo Jincheng smiled, his warm breath getting closer. Jian Yunong couldn't help but tense up as Huo Jincheng's hand slipped under her skirt. This person could ignite passion anytime and anywhere.
But she hadn't taken her medication yet.
Jian Yunong tried hard to relax.
The sudden knock on the door interrupted Huo Jincheng's intentions.
"Who?" Huo Jincheng said irritably, his large hand still firmly holding Jian Yunong's slim waist.
Outside, Huo Jinge's voice sounded, "Third Brother, Grandpa wants you to go to his study."
With the Supreme Emperor's decree, Huo Jincheng had to go.
Huo Jincheng carried Jian Yunong back to bed, "If it gets too late, don't wait for me, just sleep."
"Are you going to be gone for a long time?" Jian Yunong heard him imply that the old man would want to have a long talk with him.
Huo Jincheng returned to the cloakroom to change back into his everyday clothes, noticing that the elder was dressed in pajamas, which seemed inappropriate. He turned off the main light in the room as he left.
Once Jian Yunong confirmed he was far enough away, she immediately got out of bed and rummaged through her bag to find the pill.
However, Jian Yunong did not take it immediately; she held it in her hand, preparing for any eventuality. If Huo Jincheng returned too soon, he would definitely insist on making her do that kind of thing.
But Jian Yunong overestimated herself. She had already been exhausted from last night and fell asleep quietly after just half an hour.
The next morning, she found herself in Huo Jincheng's arms.
Jian Yunong stared at Huo Jincheng's chest, her gaze moving upward to his masculine Adam's apple, then to his strong jawline and elegantly shaped lips.
Huo Jincheng's lips were very attractive, but sometimes he would say particularly harsh things.
Jian Yunong tried to get up quietly, but Huo Jincheng's hand was wrapped around her waist; whenever she moved, he moved as well.
Jian Yunong felt him lift his hand and grip her thigh, rubbing against his leg.
Soon, Jian Yunong's face turned red.
Huo Jincheng must be thinking about doing something naughty even while asleep!
Jian Yunong dared not move; she hoped Huo Jincheng wouldn't wake up.
Huo Jincheng's deep voice sounded above her head, "Awake?"
"I'm not awake," Jian Yunong blurted out, tightly closing her eyes.
Huo Jincheng pressed her into his embrace, letting out a low, pleasant laugh.
Jian Yunong regretted it immensely; why did she respond to him?
After waking up, Huo Jincheng rolled over onto Jian Yunong's soft body. "Good morning, Mrs. Mu."
Huo Jincheng's deep voice suppressed a hint of dark desire, sensually alluring.
Jian Yunong looked at the handsome face so close to hers and swallowed hard. "Last night... when did you come back?"
"Not long ago," Huo Jincheng said, curling his finger to glide over Jian Yunong's delicate nose. "I came back and saw you sleeping soundly."
Jian Yunong's eyelashes fluttered. "Um... the morning is the key to a day's plan... shall we do something positive?"
Rolling in bed so early in the morning, was that too decadent?
Huo Jincheng's smile grew wider. "Since you issued an invitation, I can't refuse."
Huo Jincheng's kisses fell like a soft rain, invading her increasingly rapid breaths.
Jian Yunong's resisting hands pressed against his strong chest, and Huo Jincheng smiled gently, coaxing her, "Relax, okay? It will be over soon."
Perhaps dazzled by his smile, Jian Yunong's originally resisting hands wrapped around Huo Jincheng's neck, her small face buried in the crook of his neck.
When Jian Yunong woke up again, it was already noon.
She hurriedly got out of bed, blaming Huo Jincheng for saying it would be quick; he was nothing but a liar!
After hastily washing up, Jian Yunong planned to sneak away while the people at Huo Residence weren't paying attention, pretending she had left long ago instead of sleeping in until now.
However, when she opened the door, she saw Huo Jinge smiling at her. "Sister San, you're awake? You really know how to pick your timing; you woke up just in time for lunch."
Jian Yunong felt like crying a little but still forced herself to say, "I stayed up too late reading last night."
Huo Jinge pointed at her neck with his finger. "What were you reading? A dirty book?"
Jian Yunong looked down and caught sight of the hickey on her neck, her face turning as red as her neck.
