Huo Jincheng's brows furrowed deeply, "Kill you? How could that be possible?"
Jian Yunong's tears flowed like rain; she knew he wouldn't believe her when she said that.
She could understand, after all, they had only been married for a short time, not even a year. How could she compare to the years of affection between Huo Jincheng and his family?
She chose to remain silent, but her body trembled uncontrollably in Huo Jincheng's embrace.
Huo Jincheng could clearly sense her emotional turmoil.
"What’s wrong with you?" Huo Jincheng asked, holding her tightly in his arms, soothing her with a gentle voice as he continuously stroked her back. "Don’t be afraid. Don’t be afraid, I’m here with you."
Jian Yunong tightly shut her eyes, tears streaming down her face, falling onto Huo Jincheng's clothes, darkening the fabric.
Jian Yunong had dreamed of such scenes many times before; if only... if only he had come a little earlier, how wonderful that would have been.
But now, Huo Jincheng had truly come too late and was going to drag her back to the cold Huo Family.
Yes, just thinking about Huo Jincheng's mother made Jian Yunong feel chills all over; there wasn't a warm spot on her body, even the temperature of her blood seemed to be draining away.
Wherever Huo Jincheng's mother was present, even the Huo Family Old Residence that once warmed her heart had now turned into a cold cave.
"Huo Jincheng, I don’t want to go back to the old house," Jian Yunong opened her eyes and spoke to him in a pleading tone. "I’m too haggard right now. My mental state is poor; it will only worry Grandma."
Her dark circles were prominent, and her eyelids were swollen; she was indeed in bad shape.
Huo Jincheng felt heartache but also relief.
He was so busy abroad just to come back for her, and he certainly didn't want her to live carefree with Yi Nansheng.
Huo Jincheng gently touched her cheek, wiping away her tears little by little. "Don't cry for now; we still need to visit Grandma. After all, we haven't gone back to see her in such a long time."
In fact, Huo Jincheng didn't need to explain so much to her. Even if he said nothing and didn't care about her, Jian Yunong wouldn't mind.
Jian Yunong just wanted some quiet time alone, far away from Huo Jincheng's mother and the hospital.
Huo Jincheng took Jian Yunong to a villa that was neither too close nor too far from the Huo Family Old Residence.
"I want to stay in a hotel." Who knows who Huo Jincheng had brought here before; Jian Yunong didn't want to stay here.
Huo Jincheng saw through her thoughts. "This is the first house I bought; I occasionally come here to stay. You are the first woman I've brought back."
Jian Yunong buried her head in his neck. "I don't want to..."
"Stop it."
Huo Jincheng slightly raised his voice. "What's the difference between this place and a hotel? Hmm? This place belongs to you. I'll have dinner with Grandma and come back to keep you company right away."
Jian Yunong knew that Huo Jincheng had already compromised for her multiple times.
There is a limit to how much one person can pamper another.
Jian Yunong didn't plan to continue the conversation. Huo Jincheng placed her on the bed, and she felt warmth on her forehead as Huo Jincheng kissed her.
"Be good; I'll have the chef come over to cook for you."
He was worried about Jian Yunong being here alone.
Touching her cheek, he remembered that when he left, she was chubby. How could it be that just half a month later, Jian Yunong had lost so much weight?
"I don't want to eat." Jian Yunong was afraid of outsiders. If Huo Jincheng wasn't here, what if Mrs. Huo sent someone to confine her in some hospital to live a dark and dreary life...
This thought just popped into her mind, and Jian Yunong couldn't help but shiver.
"I'm scared." Jian Yunong wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. "I don't want to eat anything. I don't want anyone to cook for me."
Seeing Jian Yunong like this, Huo Jincheng couldn't help but frown.
Why did it seem that Jian Yunong's mental state was particularly poor?
"Okay."
Huo Jincheng hugged her. "I won't let anyone in. I'll go get you a glass of milk. How about some dessert?"
Jian Yunong didn't respond, so Huo Jincheng took it as her silent agreement. He went downstairs and instructed his assistant to buy dessert immediately.
Although Huo Jincheng didn't often stay here, there were still quite a few things in the refrigerator.
Huo Jincheng made Jian Yunong a bowl of egg tofu soup, garnished with shrimp.
When the assistant arrived, the steaming dish had just come off the stove.
The aroma filled the air, and it was the first time the assistant saw Mr. Huo roll up his sleeves to cook; he couldn't help but feel envious. Mrs. Huo was truly lucky.
After all, it seemed that Mr. Huo had never cooked for Bai Ru before.
When Huo Jincheng went upstairs, Jian Yunong was still awake.
Huo Jincheng personally fed her.
Jian Yunong took a few small bites and shook her head, refusing to eat more.
Huo Jincheng tasted it himself; the flavor was fine, yet Jian Yunong only ate this little bit.
She had changed.
No matter what dishes he made in the past, his foodie wife would always finish them completely.
Jian Yunong truly had no appetite.
It was perfectly normal for her not to be able to eat after so many days of not resting well, with physical reactions triggered by psychological issues.
"You should go eat with Grandma."
Jian Yunong said weakly as the sky outside turned dark.
Huo Jincheng sat by the bed, his eyes filled with concern and reluctance for Nong Nong, which he hadn't even realized himself.
Suddenly, he didn't want to leave; he wanted to stay here and watch Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong lay back under the covers. "I want to sleep."
She left him with a silhouette, "Hurry up. Don't make Grandma worry."
"What about you?"
Huo Jincheng felt reluctant.
After urging him to leave like this, hadn't she felt any reluctance towards him after such a long time apart?
He stood up, "Then I'll go out."
Jian Yunong did not respond to him.
Huo Jincheng silently watched for a moment before finally turning to leave.
...
Huo Family Old Residence.
The sound of a car stopping echoed in the courtyard. Sister Zhang cheerfully said to Grandma Huo, "Third Young Master is back."
Grandma Huo smiled broadly, "Quick, hurry and bring the dishes out."
Huo Jincheng's tall figure appeared in Grandma Huo's line of sight.
"Why are you the only one back? Where's Jian Yunong?"
"Nong Nong has work-related matters and is on a business trip out of town; she can't come back yet."
Grandma Huo couldn't help but feel disappointed, "I made a lot of dishes today that she likes to eat."
"Then I'll eat more."
Huo Jincheng hugged his grandmother, "You can't be biased. Just because you have a granddaughter-in-law now, you can't forget about your grandson."
Grandma Huo smiled brightly, "What a handsome young man, still jealous of Nong Nong? Nong Nong's parents are no longer around, and she's been through a lot of hardships. It's rare for her to be so well-behaved. I like her, so is it wrong for me to treat her better?"
"Of course not! It's perfectly fine!"
"Just let her not work too hard." Grandma Huo served soup to her grandson, watching Huo Jincheng drink it down, "Our family doesn't lack money. Didn't Bai Yaoyao not work before?"
"Grandma."
"Ah, let's not mention it."
Now the eldest granddaughter-in-law has changed to another daughter from the Bai Family, Bai Ru.
Grandma Huo also felt it was inappropriate to bring up Bai Yaoyao again.
However, Huo Jincheng felt that someone like Bai Yaoyao couldn't even be compared to his wife.
