The food was served quickly, and Jian Yunong's small worries were instantly swept away by the aroma of the dishes.
Why think so much? Huo Jincheng's love was all in the food; Shiai needed to eat well first.
"Slow down, no one is competing with you."
Jian Yunong ate as if she had been starving for a long time. Huo Jincheng watched her from the side, not eating himself, just observing Jian Yunong's every move.
"It's so delicious." Jian Yunong's eyes were glistening. "You have no idea, if I don't take my medicine, they won't let me eat. But that medicine always makes me feel weak and drowsy. I often wake up hungry. But by then, it's not even mealtime anymore. The food they give me is already cold. You know, something that isn't tasty to begin with becomes even worse when it's cold."
Huo Jincheng had no idea that Jian Yunong had lived such a life in the hospital; his expression darkened instantly. If Jian Yunong looked up, she would see her husband’s eyes filled with coldness.
Yet, as Jian Yunong devoured her food while speaking these heart-wrenching words, there was no sadness on her face at all. It was all in the past; the Huo Jincheng she longed for was right beside her, and she felt no fear at all.
Huo Jincheng initially wanted to ask Jian Yunong about the hardships she endured, but seeing how happily she was eating, he gave up.
"Here, try this Lotus Pond Moonlight too. Even though it's a vegetarian dish."
Jian Yunong was a meat lover; she hadn't touched the Lotus Pond Moonlight at all, focusing entirely on the main dishes. The side dishes were completely transparent to her.
Jian Yunong pouted, and Huo Jincheng picked up a piece of rib for her. "Nong Nong, be good and take a bite of the lotus root. I'll make you a meal afterward, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yunong stopped pouting. "Really?"
"When have I ever lied to you?"
Jian Yunong stared at Huo Jincheng; his expression was serious. To be honest, Huo Jincheng had a high level of personal credibility.
Jian Yunong composed herself and directly brought the entire plate of Lotus Pond Moonlight in front of her, ignoring the meat and taking one piece after another while counting them as she ate.
Huo Jincheng almost laughed himself to death at her silly appearance. He looked at his foolish wife with gentle eyes; she really was silly and didn’t even know how to act cute. Didn’t she want him to cook for her for a lifetime?
But Huo Jincheng liked Jian Yunong just as she was—clumsy and not very clever.
Her simplicity, her silliness, her love for food were like a vibrant splash of color that made his originally dull life vivid.
Why is dating so exhausting? Thinking back to when he was with Bai Ru, he really went to great lengths to please her, almost digging out his heart to present it to her.
But after all that effort, what did he get in return?
Now, Huo Jincheng has come to a conclusion: if being together is so tiring, it means the two people are not suited for each other.
Now, seeing Jian Yunong like this, he genuinely thinks she is wonderful and likes her immensely.
He must thank his late grandfather; the old man truly had an eye for talent. Insisting that he marry Jian Yunong was indeed an incredibly wise decision.
"Old man, you must bless me and Nong Nong from heaven," Huo Jincheng prayed in his heart.
In order to ensure she could enjoy Huo Jincheng's cooking in the future, Jian Yunong cleaned her plate of Lotus Pond Moonlight completely.
"87 meals!" Jian Yunong said very seriously.
"Okay, I won't go back on my word." Huo Jincheng kissed the little girl's face. "You are now the creditor; whenever you want to eat, I'll cook for you."
Jian Yunong felt so happy she could burst. "87 meals, yay! I can eat for a long time."
Silly girl, they were going to live together for a lifetime. Huo Jincheng's gaze was as gentle as water as he kissed Jian Yunong deeply on the lips.
It was a long kiss that made Jian Yunong's little face turn red.
Just after kissing, she eagerly picked up her chopsticks to eat again, unlike Huo Jincheng, who couldn't help but reminisce about Nong Nong's soft little tongue from just moments ago.
Seeing Jian Yunong enjoying her food so happily made Huo Jincheng feel a bit sad. "Nong Nong, don't you miss my kiss at all?"
Jian Yunong was gnawing on a rib. "Come on, eat more of this; it has meat. What's the point of just nibbling? It's only saliva."
Huo Jincheng realized that this carnivore was complaining about him.
Not many girls can resist kissing. That's what Xu Yizhi, that nightclub prince, said.
But there was something he couldn't resist, and it might not be as appealing as a bowl of braised pork ribs when it came to his wife.
He was frustrated; his rival was actually braised pork ribs, and he had cooked them himself.
"If you keep this up, I won't cook for you anymore."
Huo Jincheng pretended to be angry, needing some coaxing.
However, Jian Yunong rolled her eyes. "Hmph, you just said you're a man of your word; you wouldn't go back on it! You still owe me 87 meals! This one doesn't count!"
His daughter-in-law only showed her cleverness when it came to eating.
Fortunately, she still had some intelligence. Huo Jincheng could only comfort himself this way.
Huo Jincheng remained silent.
When he had a blank expression, he actually exuded authority. His face was well-defined with sharp features, high brows, deep-set eyes, and a gaze as profound as the ocean. Jian Yunong felt a bit worried.
After finishing the last rib, she pounced on Huo Jincheng, her greasy hands and oily mouth smearing against his face. "Honey, honey, you can't go back on your word." Huo Jincheng truly had no temper left. "My face."
He had a cleanliness obsession!
Jian Yunong realized belatedly, "Oh, I'll wash it for you."
That suggestion was good. Huo Jincheng picked her up and kissed her on her oily, rosy little mouth. "Let's wash together."
...
In the bathroom, steam rose as melodious singing echoed in the air.
Two intertwined voices mingled in the mist, unable to separate.
Jian Yunong, having eaten her fill and feeling exhausted, found it difficult even to blink when Huo Jincheng carried her out of the bathroom.
Huo Jincheng placed her on the bed, allowing her to sleep peacefully.
Downstairs, the assistant was already waiting.
Huo Jincheng came down from upstairs, wrapped in a black bathrobe, exuding an air of nobility that made others hesitant to approach or disrespect him.
"Mr. Huo, here are the documents you requested. It took some time to gather this information because it is quite sensitive."
"Mm."
Huo Jincheng picked them up, and as his gaze moved across the documents, his expression grew increasingly terrifying.
In the end, he threw the stack of papers harshly onto the floor.
"What kind of hospital is this? Is this how they treat people?"
Huo Jincheng's voice was so cold that it made anyone who heard it shiver involuntarily.
The assistant dared not speak, knowing that this was the hospital designated by Mr. Huo's mother.
