In Jian Yunong's mind, there was resistance, but her body was more loyal to past memories. Before she realized it, her eyes were tightly closed, her neck tilted back, seemingly immersed in Huo Jincheng's sudden kiss.
"Hmph!" Jian Yunong pushed him away and deliberately wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, showing her disdain for him.
Huo Jincheng's previously upturned lips returned to a calm state. "This is the Meiling Porridge I made myself."
The spoon gently stirred, and the sweet aroma gradually wafted out, like tentacles teasing her taste buds little by little.
Jian Yunong wanted to be strong; she was still angry about Huo Jincheng's disrespect towards her.
"Are you planning to take me to see a doctor after I finish eating?" Jian Yunong asked, her eyes red but eerily calm, her hoarse voice soft and lacking any force.
Huo Jincheng lowered his dark eyes. Jian Yunong kept staring at him as he stirred the thick porridge in the bowl. After a while, he raised his head. "Nong Nong, you should eat something first." Jian Yunong shook her head, her gaze filled with caution.
She wouldn't eat; this was a death sentence meal, even in the face of beauty and delicious food.
The thought of going to see a doctor made all these wonderful things lose their appeal.
Huo Jincheng couldn't stand seeing her like this; it felt like they had returned to the tense standoff they had right after their marriage.
Well, Huo Jincheng understood how firm Jian Yunong's attitude was.
Usually looking soft and gentle, once she became stubborn, she could be incredibly tough, suddenly turning into a stubborn rock.
Huo Jincheng slightly pursed his lips and gently asked, "Aren't you hungry?"
"I'm not hungry."
Yet her throat betrayed her as she swallowed hard. How could she not be hungry? She felt as if she were starving to the point of having her stomach touch her back! If this continued, she might just eat someone!
But when she thought about going to see a doctor, the slight fluctuation in Jian Yunong's eyes turned into a frozen snowstorm, and she shook her head.
"I don't want to see a doctor," Jian Yunong lowered her head, her voice dropping as well. "Huo Jincheng, if..."
"If you don't want to see a doctor, then don't go," Huo Jincheng interrupted her. He was a bit angry but managed to hold it back. Without her saying it, he already knew what Jian Yunong wanted to say.
"Want to get a divorce? No way!"
"You can't be like this. You can't just run away when you encounter a little difficulty. Have you considered my feelings?"
Huo Jincheng's gaze burned intensely on Jian Yunong, and in his calm black eyes, a hint of hurt flickered. All the unsaid words eventually turned into a long sigh. "I admit that there may be some problems between us; after all, we have known each other for less than a year. Marriage is not built on a foundation of complete understanding."
Jian Yunong tightly hugged her legs, resting her chin on her knees, her fluffy big eyes looking at Huo Jincheng.
For some reason, a sour feeling surged in her heart.
She felt like reaching out to hold Huo Jincheng's hand, or even wanting to give him a proper hug.
Huo Jincheng spoke gently, "You can't think about divorce just because you encounter some difficulties. Divorce won't solve the problem; it won't help you at all and will only make me feel bad. Nong Nong, not every argument has to end in separation. We are just arguing; even couples who have been together for a lifetime like my grandparents have had disagreements and arguments."
Jian Yunong murmured, "Did Grandpa and Grandma argue too?"
"Of course. A lifetime is so long," Huo Jincheng smiled slightly. "Even teeth sometimes bite the tongue; how much more so when it comes to interactions between people."
Jian Yunong blinked and thought seriously for a moment. "I didn't know."
Huo Jincheng looked at her.
Jian Yunong's father passed away early, and her mother did not remarry, supporting the company left behind by her husband. The absence of her parents left her with no concept of the normal patterns of family life.
"Nong Nong, you can ask your aunt." That was the closest person to Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong lowered her head and pinched her fingers. "Actually, my aunt said that being able to marry you is already a blessing from our ancestors. She said you can earn money to support the family and that you look good, so I shouldn't ask for too much. Although I've always listened to my aunt's words, treating many of them as sacred decrees, I really can't agree on this point. I'm not someone who cares about money, nor do I care if my husband is handsome."
Huo Jincheng felt a chill in his heart; it turned out that his strengths could not even be considered advantages in Silly Daughter-in-Law's eyes.
How miserable.
No wonder she supported his decision to keep their marriage a secret when they first got married.
Huo Jincheng forced a smile. "Then what do you care about?"
Jian Yunong timidly looked up at him. "I don't know."
Huo Jincheng's gaze dimmed, and his beautiful lips pressed tightly into a line.
He must be quite a failure; no wonder Jian Yunong still hadn't fully trusted him until now.
Last night, he brought the drunken Jian Yunong back home.
Last night, Jian Yunong had first thrown up violently. After hugging the toilet and finishing, she was disdainfully pushed by Huo Jincheng into the bathtub for a wash. Originally weak and silent after vomiting, Jian Yunong suddenly began to cry loudly.
No matter how Huo Jincheng tried to comfort her, it was useless; Jian Yunong cried like a child in the bathtub.
"How can you be so cruel! I suffered so much in the hospital!"
"Just because I don't say anything doesn't mean it didn't hurt me!"
"I thought you were focused on taking me on our honeymoon! But instead, you arranged for a doctor! Men’s words can't be trusted! I've seen little of the world, but I've never seen a couple go on their honeymoon where the husband forces his wife to see a doctor!"
"Woo woo woo... you bad guy, you never asked for my opinion... woo woo woo... why is my body not under my consent? Woo woo woo... you bad guy..."
Huo Jincheng tried to wipe her tears but was pushed away by Jian Yunong. She looked at him with wide, tear-filled eyes as if she were dreaming, her gaze clearly unfocused. After struggling to blink a couple of times, Jian Yunong immediately stepped back. "Who are you? Let me tell you, don’t take advantage of me just because I’m drunk. I have a husband! My husband is very capable! Don’t touch me!"
Huo Jincheng was momentarily stunned. "Nong Nong, it’s me."
Jian Yunong burst into tears. "Get out! My husband is very jealous, you stinky rogue! Just wait! Get out! Get out!"
She was splashing water and screaming.
Huo Jincheng was afraid she would hurt herself and had no choice but to step outside.
When he went back in, Jian Yunong was already asleep in the bathtub.
Huo Jincheng carefully lifted her out of the bathtub, dried her off, and placed her on the bed.
When she mentioned that she had a husband, Huo Jincheng mysteriously lost his temper and decided not to dwell on the fact that she had gone to a bar to drink.
In the morning, Huo Jincheng got up early and borrowed the kitchen to cook for her himself.
"Let’s have some porridge." If he didn’t serve it soon, the porridge in Huo Jincheng's bowl would get cold.
