Jian Yunong's hand was held by Huo Jincheng, while his other hand wrapped around Jian Yunong's waist, applying a slight pressure, causing Jian Yunong's soft body to press closely against him.
"Do we need to be this close while dancing?" It seemed different from the dance steps she had learned.
"Of course."
Huo Jincheng kissed Jian Yunong's temple and said softly, "We're not professionals, so we don't need to be so strict."
As long as they were happy dancing.
The moonlight streaming in cast a happy shadow on the ground.
There was no music, only the melody of happiness.
"Once you've figured out your path for the future, let me know. You don't need to worry about work; finding what suits you is the most important."
Huo Jincheng patted Jian Yunong's head. "Hurry home. After you rinse and shower, I'll take good care of you, Daughter-in-law."
Jian Yunong huffed and tidied up the remaining items. "You actually find something so delicious unappealing?"
Huo Jincheng took the trash she was holding. "Is there anything better than what you made?"
Jian Yunong: "..."
Her face flushed red, and a sweet feeling spread in her heart, but she couldn't help but playfully retort, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Huo Jincheng looked at her deeply and said, "I only like the scent that originally belongs to you; I don't like any other scents."
Understood, understood. After he said that, the Spicy Crawfish that she had just found delicious suddenly felt a bit unappetizing.
Jian Yunong lowered her head shyly to look at her toes and said, "I'll try to eat less in the future."
"Jian Yunong, I'm doing this for your own good. After all, eating too much of this food is unhealthy."
"Okay."
Whatever Huo Jincheng said, Jian Yunong was willing to respond with a simple "okay."
By the time they got home, it was nearly midnight.
As soon as they got out of the car, Jian Yunong was picked up horizontally by Huo Jincheng. "I... I’ll go take a shower first."
Huo Jincheng's eyes held something that Jian Yunong was very familiar with, making her legs tremble weakly again. Her fair little hands tightly clutched Huo Jincheng's collar.
"I'll help you wash."
Huo Jincheng smirked and took long strides, quickly carrying Jian Yunong upstairs.
The entire bathroom was a mess, wet towels and bath towels strewn all over the floor. Jian Yunong only had the strength to glance around; she didn't have the energy to tidy up.
After being placed on the soft bed by Huo Jincheng, his kisses fell upon her, each touch sending shivers down her spine.
At that moment, the landline phone on the bedside suddenly rang.
In the quiet atmosphere, the phone's ringing was jarring and very abrupt.
Huo Jincheng paused, Jian Yunong opened her eyes and released her legs that were wrapped around his waist. "Go answer the phone."
A call at this time must be about something important.
Huo Jincheng glanced at Jian Yunong, kissed her cheek, and then reached out to answer the phone.
"Mr. Huo, this is Ye Mei. Um... Bai Ru has had an accident."
This sentence came through the phone, and Jian Yunong also heard it.
"What happened?"
"She... she has lost a lot of blood... I'm worried she might be having a miscarriage."
"Who did this? That Liang Shao?"
Huo Jincheng immediately changed from sitting to getting out of bed.
"I don't know either. After you left, my friends and I were still at Dynasty. When we came out, we happened to find Bai Ru collapsed at the door."
"Take her to the hospital first."
"We are now at Maria Hospital."
"Got it. I'll be there right away."
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jincheng furrowed his brows and looked up to see Jian Yunong sitting on the bed, wrapped in a blanket, staring at him with wide, clear eyes that held no impurities.
In that moment, Huo Jincheng suddenly changed his mind. "I'll call Huo Liangchen's secretary and have them notify him to come over."
He walked over and sat down beside Jian Yunong, placing his hand on her shoulder, his fingers slightly moving as he pulled the blanket up.
It turned out that Jian Yunong's shoulder was exposed.
Jian Yunong's voice was a bit hoarse. "What happened to Sister-in-law?"
The mention of "Sister-in-law" gently reminded Huo Jincheng to be aware of their difference in status.
Bai Ru was no longer his girlfriend.
"I don't know the details."
Huo Jincheng replied nonchalantly, scrolling through his assistant's contact information to have them inform Huo Liangchen that Bai Ru was in the hospital.
After putting down his phone, Huo Jincheng met Jian Yunong's gaze.
Jian Yunong frowned. "Is your relationship with him that bad?"
Two brothers, have they become this estranged?
Huo Jincheng did not want to talk about this half-brother.
"Sleep."
Jian Yunong could clearly sense the change in Huo Jincheng's emotions.
Just a moment ago, they were in a romantic atmosphere, but now, he had lost his earlier enthusiasm.
Both of them pretended to be asleep.
The landline rang again.
Huo Jincheng's Assistant called, "Sorry, Mr. Huo, we couldn't get in touch with the other party."
Huo Jincheng's voice was cold, "Is this what I wanted to hear? Tell me what to do? Should I praise you for doing well? Or should I help you find them? Otherwise, why don't you quit being an assistant and take my position as CEO?"
Not just the assistant, even Jian Yunong felt a jolt in his heart.
Huo Jincheng's temper was flaring up again.
"I say."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but speak up, "Can't you just go see for yourself?"
She had her back to Huo Jincheng and could not see his expression.
"The safety of Sister-in-law is the priority. Instead of wasting time looking for someone, it would be better to go check on her personally."
What was the point of scolding the assistant?
Jian Yunong felt that Huo Jincheng's Assistant was really innocent.
Huo Jincheng stood up and said, "Get up."
Seeing that Jian Yunong on the bed did not respond, Huo Jincheng directly reached into the blanket and carried her out.
Jian Yunong was taken to the changing room, where Huo Jincheng forced her to put on clothes.
"That is Sister-in-law. As a sister-in-law, you have an even greater obligation to check on her."
The reason Huo Jincheng gave felt more like a retaliation against Jian Yunong.
However, Jian Yunong found herself unable to refute it.
She and Bai Ru were sisters-in-law.
Half an hour later, Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng arrived at Maria Hospital.
Le Yi was also there, her belly already quite large, wearing a white coat.
"Third Brother, Sister San."
Le Yi's voice was faint, carrying a sense of detachment.
However, Jian Yunong didn't think much of it; the current situation wasn't suitable for too much joy. Bai Ru wasn't particularly likable, but the child in her womb hadn't done anything wrong.
"Bai Ru has had some bleeding, but it's okay. The child was saved at a critical moment."
Although Le Yi hadn't entered the operating room, she was aware of the situation inside.
Ye Mei stood nearby, rubbing her hands together, feeling very guilty. "I'm sorry. I didn't know the situation wasn't that serious. But at that time, her dress was all red... I thought... I thought it was blood."
Le Yi glanced at Ye Mei, who was Huo Jinchen's Secretary.
Third Brother really attracted women, especially those with ulterior motives. Such a clumsy excuse could only deceive someone unaware of the situation. Bai Ru's light-colored dress had been splashed with wine, which did look red, but with such a strong smell of alcohol, couldn't she tell? Was her nose ruined from plastic surgery?
But Le Yi said nothing.
She didn't want to say anything; what did it have to do with her?
Huo Jincheng said nothing either, wrapping his arm around Jian Yunong's shoulders, his tone very calm. "It's getting late; let's go back and rest."
Ye Mei still wore a very apologetic expression. "I'm sorry; it's all because of me that you couldn't get a good rest in the middle of the night."
Jian Yunong, who had been very quiet, couldn't help but voice her confusion. "There's no need to apologize so much; you did a good thing. Sister-in-law is pregnant now and should be more careful."
Le Yi couldn't help but look at Jian Yunong's expression; she was sincere, with no trace of mockery, which left Le Yi a bit disappointed.
Jian Yunong should have taken on the demeanor of a mistress and confronted this unreliable female secretary.
Who gave her the right to do such foolish things?
Le Yi was still angry with Huo Jincheng. Although she knew that everything he said made sense, she was still very upset.
At that moment, a nurse came out and whispered a few words to Le Yi. After hearing the content, Le Yi understood the reason behind her subordinate's actions.
Le Yi smirked slightly, and when she turned her face, she had already regained her composure. "Bai Ru wants to see you."
She looked at Huo Jincheng. "Third Brother, Bai Ru has been crying and says she wants to see you."
Time felt like stagnant water.
Huo Jincheng noticed the provocation in Le Yi's eyes; saying these words in front of Jian Yunong was like declaring war on him.
Secretary Ye also spoke up at this moment, seemingly supporting Le Yi and fanning the flames. "It might be because Mr. Huo saved her today at Dynasty... Miss Bai probably wants to thank Mr. Huo."
Ye Mei looked at Jian Yunong, her gaze seemed to convey a warning not to overthink things.
But every word made one think more.
Huo Jincheng retorted Le Yi bluntly, "I'm not going; I'm not a doctor."
He lowered his head, his gaze landing on Jian Yunong's cheek. "Let's go, Daughter-in-law, it's time to go home and sleep."
Jian Yunong was held by Huo Jincheng as they walked outside. Just as they were about to get into the car at the hospital entrance, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Aren't you really going to take a look?"
"I don't want to repeat myself," Huo Jincheng said with a harsh tone, releasing Jian Yunong and opening the car door. "Don't be jealous, okay?"
He had clearly refused and didn't want her to test him again or push him away.
Huo Jincheng turned around; under the moonlight, the man looked very cold, with a chilling demeanor and eyes devoid of warmth. "Do you know what I hate? I hate people who stand on moral high ground. It's cold up there; don't go up for no reason."
Tonight, Third Young Master Huo was clearly in a bad mood.
Perhaps it was because he had been too good to her lately that she almost forgot his unpleasant side—the way he could make people want to tear his clothes apart when he was being hurtful, making him appear disheveled and unable to maintain the aloof pride of a nobleman.
Jian Yunong suppressed the feeling of breathlessness in her chest and slowly said each word, making her voice sound devoid of malice. "Then tell me, why are you so irritable tonight? If it's because of Bai Ru, I completely understand. After all, you two know each other well. She's not just anyone. Everyone in Quannan City knows you liked her for seven years!"
