Jian Yunong silently vowed to work hard, striving to become someone worthy of Huo Jincheng.
At the very least, she wanted others to think of her in a different light: "Huh? Who is Jian Yunong? Does she really deserve Huo Jincheng?"
Jian Yunong returned to her workstation, exceptionally focused.
However, Rome wasn't built in a day; she still had a long way to go.
When it was time to leave work, Jian Yunong refused to go, and Secretary Jiang stayed behind as well.
But the reasons for their stay were different.
One was fueled by a passionate drive for hard work.
The other was out of curiosity.
Huo Jincheng came out of the office, glanced at Jian Yunong, and stepped out first.
Secretary Jiang's gaze drifted over; Jian Yunong sat there motionless, showing no reaction at all.
After waiting for nearly half an hour and seeing that Jian Yunong still hadn't left, Secretary Jiang grew tired of lingering around.
"Jian Yunong, I'm leaving."
"Okay, Sister Jiang, see you tomorrow."
Jian Yunong smiled at her and immediately lowered her head to look at the screen again.
She had promised Huo Jincheng that she would finish her work today.
Huo Jincheng also had his own tasks to attend to, so they both busied themselves with their respective work.
Not long after Huo Jincheng left, a delivery arrived.
"The delivery person is called... your husband."
The delivery guy looked confused; that name was indeed unique.
While Jian Yunong was eating, Huo Jincheng called.
"Eat something first before getting busy with work."
"Mm."
Jian Yunong took a big bite of the rice ball and asked indistinctly, "Have you arrived?"
He mentioned he had an appointment with Xu Yizhi today.
"Mm. I'll come pick you up at ten o'clock to take you home."
"No need to go through all that trouble; I can just take a taxi back." Jian Yunong thought it was rare for Huo Jincheng to go out and relax.
"Be good. I'm taking you to eat Spicy Crawfish."
"Okay, okay, okay!"
"Little foodie."
"Hehe." Jian Yunong laughed shyly, "Husband, you're so nice."
After hanging up, Xu Yizhi's dissatisfied voice came over, "Huo Jincheng, aren't you being a bit disloyal like this?"
It's rare to go out to a bar, yet he only stayed for such a short time.
"It's ten o'clock, and you're leaving? The nightlife hasn't even started yet!"
Huo Jincheng glanced at him. "Not happy? Then you should hurry up and get married."
Xu Yizhi's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly masked it.
He took a sip of his drink, the cold sensation chilling his mood as well.
"Bai Ru seems to be getting married."
Hearing that name suddenly, Huo Jincheng's expression froze for a moment.
But it was just a momentary pause.
Xu Yizhi looked at Huo Jincheng's face, seemingly trying to find some clue to resonate with his own feelings. At least to prove that he wasn't the only one feeling sad.
Huo Jincheng remained expressionless, which was both expected and unexpected for Xu Yizhi.
"I shouldn't have brought up this person's name. You and your little wife seem to be doing quite well." Bai Ru had already become a thing of the past, not even qualifying to be the moonlight in Huo Jincheng's window.
After saying that, Xu Yizhi downed another large gulp of his drink.
Huo Jincheng frowned. "What's wrong with you?"
"For my brother, it's not worth it." Xu Yizhi still didn't dare to reveal his true feelings.
During the years when Huo Jincheng pursued Bai Ru, he had always been a bystander, yet his heart was also pulled by Bai Ru.
He had originally thought that once Huo Jincheng got married, he would have a chance.
He never expected Bai Ru to find true love so quickly.
In the past, Bai Ru was a very picky person. Despite Huo Jincheng treating her so well, she was unwilling to step into the realm of marriage.
Unexpectedly, this time she would act like this...
Perhaps it was because that person met Bai Ru at the most desperate moment of Miss Bai's life.
This shows that the connections between people depend on timing, location, and harmony.
Meeting at the right time might be the most important thing.
After listening, Huo Jincheng remained expressionless.
Xu Yizhi waited for a while, seeing that Huo Jincheng still had not spoken, and guessed that he would not get an answer.
In Huo Jincheng's heart, Bai Ru should have long been a period.
Writing one more word for her might seem like a waste to Huo Jincheng.
Xu Yizhi accidentally drank too much.
Huo Jincheng supported the swaying Xu Yizhi towards the restroom.
With a slight obsession with cleanliness, Huo Jincheng stood outside the door and did not want to go in.
After a while, the sound of Xu Yizhi vomiting came out.
Huo Jincheng glanced at the time; there was still half an hour left.
Later, he would first help Xu Yizhi back home and then go pick up Nong Nong.
A wave of alcohol smell hit him.
Huo Jincheng took a step back.
He didn't know when a drunken woman appeared before him like a ghost.
He stepped back, and she stepped forward, closely following him.
Huo Jincheng glared at her in displeasure.
"Ah..." As soon as Chu Ai opened her mouth, she let out a burp.
Huo Jincheng almost felt like throwing up.
Where did this crazy woman come from?
Then this crazy woman called out to him, "Huo San Shao."
Her sweet and coquettish tone, combined with her face reeking of alcohol, gave no sense of beauty at all; it only made Huo Jincheng feel extremely annoyed.
"Get lost."
Huo Jincheng was very rude, showing no concealment of his impatience with her.
Chu Ai actually started crying and lunged to hug Huo Jincheng, "Huo San Shao... I really like you so much... I... I have your baby, will you marry me?"
Crazy!
He had never even touched her.
"I don't know you."
"That day I slept at your house; we slept together, how can you say you don't know me?"
Chu Ai feels so wronged, she could cry.
Huo Jincheng is really annoyed with her and doesn't want to waste another word.
The men's restroom door opens, and Xu Yizhi stumbles out, pointing at Huo Jincheng.
"Ha! You little rascal, cheating outside!"
These drunks are all acting strange.
Huo Jincheng directly picks up Xu Yizhi, brushes off Chu Ai, and strides out of the bar.
Jian Yunong receives a call from Huo Jincheng, comes down from upstairs, and approaches Huo Jincheng's car with a beaming smile.
As soon as she sits in the passenger seat, she elongates her voice and sweetly calls out, "Hubby."
Suddenly, a sneaky laugh comes from behind her, accompanied by a wave of alcohol breath.
Jian Yunong is startled and nearly jumps out of her seat.
Huo Jincheng reassures her, "It's Xu Yizhi. He's drunk. Let's take him home first."
Xu Yizhi has a flushed face and dazed eyes, grinning foolishly at Jian Yunong, "Sister-in-law, hello."
"Oh, hi." Jian Yunong is quite startled by him.
"Xu Yizhi, get in the back seat and buckle up," Huo Jincheng says to Xu Yizhi in an unfriendly tone.
Xu Yizhi pouts, "You're so fierce. You weren't like this before little Nong Nong came along."
That spoiled tone is just too cheesy.
Jian Yunong: "......"
She felt like she knew too much.
Huo Jincheng went around to the back seat of the car and secured Xu Yizhi.
Xu Yizhi had been in an excited state, for example, he first sang a lively song, his good voice but off-key.
Later on, probably tired from singing, he started talking to Jian Yunong.
"Sister-in-law, can I ask you a few questions?"
"Mm, go ahead."
Jian Yunong felt it was inappropriate to ignore him.
"Is my family's Third Young Master not doing well?"
"......"
