Jian Yunong showed an envious expression on her face, "No wonder Grandpa listens to Grandma so much."
Perhaps it was because they had loved each other for a lifetime and couldn't accept the younger generation's divorce, which would be embarrassing if it got out.
Huo Jincheng wrapped his arms around her and affectionately kissed her cheek, "There's no need to envy the old man. We will be like that too."
Short marriages can be filled with deep feelings, even the cold moonlight feels warm.
Jian Yunong's face turned slightly red, and she couldn't help but smile. His sweet words stirred up a night filled with intoxicating spring breezes. Is it true that once a person feels love, they can't help but wish for eternity together?
Her heart was sweet; even though she felt shy, she nodded slightly.
She wanted that too, to grow old with him, traveling across the country and tasting all kinds of delicacies.
Much later, Jian Yunong finally understood that the moonlight was cold. Those sweet years later became a warm light in her lonely days, yet also a poison that ran through her veins.
When they returned home at night, Jian Yunong was tricked by Huo Jincheng into taking a bath, and after being tossed around until exhausted, she finally fell asleep.
The next day, she lay groggily in bed while Huo Jincheng had already changed his clothes. His cool fingertips precisely slipped under the blanket to gently caress her graceful curves.
"Get up."
Huo Jincheng called her name in a low voice. Jian Yunong rubbed her sleepy eyes; her body still felt tired. Seeing him looking refreshed made her feel both resentful and angry—why did he seem so energized?
"You have to go to work today," Huo Jincheng reminded her.
"But I'm so tired..." Jian Yunong complained tearfully. Despite her words of protest, she resignedly got up.
Huo Jincheng kissed her eyebrows and said, "Be good, I'll give you ten minutes. I'll wait for you downstairs."
Ten minutes later, Jian Yunong rushed out of the villa and jumped into the car.
Huo Jincheng smiled, suddenly feeling that going to work together was a really nice thing.
Jian Yunong quickly applied makeup in the passenger seat.
After finishing, Jian Yunong asked Huo Jincheng, "Does it look good?"
Huo Jincheng glanced over and replied, "You look better without makeup."
Jian Yunong looked at herself in the mirror from side to side and concluded that Huo Jincheng had a problem with his eyesight; perhaps the car accident had damaged his brain.
Jian Yunong put away her makeup items and casually asked Huo Jincheng, "Did you have a brain CT scan after your accident?"
"Of course I did." Huo Jincheng paused, fell silent for a minute, and then coldly asked, "What do you mean by that?"
"Hehe. I'm just concerned about you." She smiled mischievously, her eyes darting around.
"You were already pretty. Hasn't anyone ever complimented you?"
"..." This compliment sounded very pleasing to Jian Yunong, and she couldn't help but smile. "I just like how ignorant you are."
Huo Jincheng: "..."
Upon entering the underground parking lot, as soon as the car came to a stop, Jian Yunong quickly ran off. The reason was that she was in a hurry; she needed to clock in.
Huo Jincheng didn't even catch a glimpse of her hem.
When Huo Jincheng entered the office, Jian Yunong was sitting at her workstation, diligently busy with her tasks.
"Jian Yunong, pour me a cup of coffee."
Huo Jincheng called her by name.
"Yes." Jian Yunong had no choice but to put down her work and make him coffee, after all, he was the President.
This time, Jian Yunong was obedient; she added sugar to the coffee, leaving Huo Jincheng with no room for complaints.
She stood at a distance, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the office watching. She openly defied his request; when Huo Jincheng asked her to come over, she refused to do so.
She was wary of him taking the opportunity to pull her onto his lap and delay her work progress.
Huo Jincheng, feeling helpless, waved his hand, telling her to focus on her work.
As noon approached, the department members were planning to go out for lunch together.
Participating in group activities was an unspoken rule in the workplace. Jian Yunong wanted to integrate into this group, so naturally, she had to join in.
Huo Jincheng called her and said he would take her out for Japanese Cuisine for lunch.
Originally, Jian Yunong was confident that she would agree, but unexpectedly, she flatly refused and wanted to go with her colleagues to the hot pot restaurant downstairs.
"..." Huo Jincheng was a bit unhappy. "Are you sure?"
This time, Jian Yunong was very determined. "I signed up for the department's group activity." Then she changed her tone, sounding pitiful. "Can we go eat Japanese Cuisine next time?"
Huo Jincheng's recommended food would definitely not disappoint. Jian Yunong felt her mouth watering at the thought.
Huo Jincheng didn't say anything and directly hung up the phone.
Is he angry?
The President has quite a temper.
When noon came and work ended, Jian Yunong followed the Secretariat team and found out they were not going to the hot pot restaurant but to a Sushi Restaurant.
They weren't sitting in the main hall either; they went to a private room.
Someone exclaimed, "This place... seems really expensive."
As soon as the words were spoken, President Huo walked in and took a seat at the main table.
Jiang Secretary stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Huo said he wanted to thank the entire Secretariat, so this department team-building event is on him."
Eating Japanese Cuisine is certainly better than having hot pot; salmon, eel, tempura, sushi, and so on are all not cheap.
It is unclear whether intentionally or not, Secretary Jiang left Jian Yunong in the position to the left of Huo Jincheng.
Jian Yunong felt a bit uneasy.
However, Huo Jincheng was somewhat angry and gave her a cold look, ignoring her completely.
Instead, it was Secretary Jiang who instructed Jian Yunong to serve food to the president.
Secretary Jiang seemed to be guiding the newcomer.
The others in the department didn’t quite understand and were puzzled as to why this somewhat foolish newcomer had caught Secretary Jiang's attention. They muttered among themselves that she was just a newcomer who needed someone to teach her such things. Anyone with a bit of awareness would know to take the initiative in these matters.
Jian Yunong felt guilty and worried that being too close might reveal her unusual relationship with Huo Jincheng to others. However, since Secretary Jiang said so, she moved slightly and served food to Mr. Huo.
After the meal, Jian Yunong walked out with her colleagues, with Huo Jincheng leading the way. Jian Yunong deliberately kept her distance from him.
“Mr. Huo!”
A woman's delicate voice rang out.
In an instant, everyone turned their heads. It was a very beautiful woman, alluring and enchanting, with bright red lips.
The people from the Secretariat exchanged glances.
“See? Mr. Huo's romantic prospects are coming again.”
"Young girls these days really lack restraint."
Everyone whispered and left first.
Jian Yunong was the last to leave, glancing at Chu Ai, who was talking to Huo Jincheng, mostly expressing her gratitude.
Jian Yunong didn't linger; the others from the Secretariat had already left. She worried that staying behind would draw attention, so she quickly followed them.
She left behind a hurried silhouette, and Huo Jincheng's eyes turned slightly cold.
"What do you want?" Huo Jincheng's voice was flat, devoid of any emotion.
Chu Ai blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering. Seeing Huo Jincheng's stunning face, she felt delighted.
"I just wanted to thank you."
"No need to be polite. I didn't intend to help you."
So cold.
Chu Ai watched Huo Jincheng's back and stomped her foot in frustration.
