Jian Yunong was not at all concerned about whether Secretary Jiang was deliberately observing her.
She was more focused on her work than ever, trying hard to dispel the sadness of Old Master Huo's passing with another kind of emotion.
She was so busy that even at lunchtime, she didn't move, just sitting at her desk engrossed in her tasks.
Of course, others wouldn't think much of it; only Secretary Jiang walked over to ask her, "You can't skip lunch. What do you want me to get for you?"
"I want a shrimp and mayonnaise rice ball from the convenience store next door, just one is enough," Jian Yunong smiled at Secretary Jiang.
"Just that? Aren't rice balls cold? Eating cold food in this chilly weather isn't good for your stomach."
"It's fine; I can heat it up in the microwave later."
Jian Yunong lowered her head again to focus on her work.
Huo Jincheng came out of the office and saw Jian Yunong busy at the computer by herself, so he walked over.
"Aren't you eating?"
Huo Jincheng reached out to lift his little wife's chin, a gesture he had gotten used to at home, completely forgetting that they were in the office.
Jian Yunong snapped back to reality and instinctively dodged.
"This is the office!"
"Everyone else has gone to eat, okay?"
Jian Yunong glanced around; fortunately, there was no one else around.
She patted her wildly beating heart and glared at him, "How can you do this? Didn't we agree on some rules?"
Huo Jincheng stood straight with his hands in his pockets, looking down at her, "Come with me to eat."
"Is that really okay?"
Jian Yunong pointed to the computer, "I still have a lot of work to finish here."
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of threat, "The person standing in front of you right now is not your husband. Get it straight; the person standing in front of you is your boss."
Jian Yunong was instantly speechless.
Who would have thought this person could be so unreasonable!
Yet she had no reason to refute him.
"Then... Mr. Huo, where would you like to eat? Do you need me to call a car for you?"
Jian Yunong immediately shifted into her role as a secretary.
Huo Jincheng smiled slightly, "You decide."
Jian Yunong hesitated, "Mr. Huo."
Huo Jincheng lowered his voice. "Eat what you like."
"I want to eat the rice balls downstairs."
“……”
Huo Jincheng was displeased, “Let’s change it up.”
“Then let’s go eat Japanese Cuisine.”
And so they happily decided.
The two entered the elevator together, with Jian Yunong keeping her distance from Huo Jincheng.
Seeing her cautious demeanor, Huo Jincheng couldn’t help but remind her, “Just be natural. What’s wrong with walking beside me confidently? You’re my secretary. The more you shrink back, the more others will think you have something to hide.”
The more Jian Yunong thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, so she tried hard to appear natural.
With a shift in mindset, she no longer felt as if there were dangers lurking everywhere.
As they walked out, many colleagues respectfully greeted Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng always gave off a sense of distance in public, intimidating people and making them keep their distance, commanding respect without needing to raise his voice.
Walking behind Huo Jincheng, Jian Yunong noticed that many of the usually high-and-mighty faces looked different than usual.
This was quite intriguing.
When they arrived at the Sushi Restaurant, Huo Jincheng requested a private room.
Jian Yunong originally planned to sit across from Huo Jincheng, but he patted the seat next to him, indicating for her to sit closer.
"Mr. Huo."
"It's not at the office, and there are no outsiders here."
This was a command, Huo Jincheng was domineering and left no room for refusal.
Jian Yunong had no choice but to stand up. As she approached, Huo Jincheng pulled her down with one hand, and she fell into his embrace.
Huo Jincheng held her tightly, swallowing her gasp.
It was a passionate kiss, and Huo Jincheng turned it into something punishing.
The door to the private room opened, and sensing someone entering, Jian Yunong was startled and pushed against Huo Jincheng, but he refused to let go, deepening the kiss instead.
Jian Yunong felt her tongue tingle from his sucking.
With tears in her eyes, she raised her small fist to hit his chest.
Huo Jincheng was someone who exercised regularly, his body full of muscles. Jian Yunong's small punch didn't affect him much, but it left her own hand aching.
Huo Jincheng took her hand and kissed it lightly near his lips, a wicked smile on his face. "This is to punish your disobedience."
"The one being disobedient is you!"
How could he do this in front of the waiter serving the dishes...
Jian Yunong's face flushed red as she glared at Huo Jincheng. This man truly could never be taught!
"Eat something."
"I'm not eating."
Jian Yunong was furious.
She wanted to resist!
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, picked up chopsticks, and selected some fresh Three-Flavored Fish, dipping it in a bit of sauce before eating it himself.
"Mm, it's delicious."
He made a sound of enjoyment.
Jian Yunong was about to explode with anger, yet she secretly swallowed her saliva.
She lunged at Huo Jincheng to pinch him, but before she could show her claws, Huo Jincheng pressed her down and precisely stuffed a piece of salmon into her mouth.
Jian Yunong: "Delicious!"
She embarrassingly knelt in front of the food.
Huo Jincheng leaned down and kissed her cheek. "Then let's say I was wrong, punish me, so I’ll kiss you."
What kind of punishment is this!
This was clearly Huo Jincheng taking advantage!
"Huo Jincheng! Are you bullying me because I'm silly?"
"Where are you silly? I, Daughter-in-law, can see this, you're simply too smart."
Jian Yunong huffed in anger; this bad guy was nothing like the Mr. Huo who had been so arrogant in front of others just moments ago!
"Right now, in front of you, is your husband, not some Mr. Huo!"
Huo Jincheng laughed heartily upon hearing Jian Yunong's reason for being angry.
Seeing him laugh, Jian Yunong felt her previously gloomy mood brighten considerably.
She might be silly, but it seemed like making this man laugh was also a pretty good thing.
Finally, Huo Jincheng had a smile on his face, no longer the man who always carried a faint aura of melancholy.
The two returned to the office together.
When Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng entered the office one after the other, only Jiang Secretary cast a discreet observing glance at them.
Remembering the encouragement from Huo Jincheng, Jian Yunong boldly met Jiang Secretary's probing gaze.
Jiang Secretary quickly withdrew her gaze.
During afternoon tea time.
Jian Yunong, having eaten too much at lunch, was now suffering in the restroom.
A woman's voice came from outside.
"I saw Mr. Huo with a woman today. Is she from your Secretariat?"
"Yeah. She's new."
"Ah... why is she following Mr. Huo? It seems like they went out to eat together."
"Coincidentally, I guess. What's wrong? Are you trying to say that our Mr. Huo couldn't marry a goddess and is now so affected that his aesthetic sense has collapsed?"
"Haha." The other party laughed awkwardly, "That's true. That woman is probably the most inconspicuous one in your Secretariat."
"Isn't that right? It seems she got in because of her connection with the manager of the Public Relations Department."
Jian Yunong was almost dying of laughter.
With such words, she felt completely at ease.
No one would associate her with Huo Jincheng. Was this... a good thing or a sad thing?
Jian Yunong suddenly felt a bit melancholic, as if it wasn't something to be happy about.
Because everyone thought that she, Jian Yunong, was not worthy of Huo Jincheng.
