Jian Yunong had an innocent look in her eyes. Why was he being so fierce? Shouldn't she be the one asking him that? How did the roles reverse?
Huo Jincheng had a stern expression, his chiseled features sharp and cold.
"Go eat," Jian Yunong said, lowering her head. He was still angry, so she chose to back down for now and let him calm down first.
Communication is ineffective when someone is angry.
Jian Yunong especially didn't want to argue with Huo Jincheng inside the big house.
However, Huo Jincheng did not let go of her hand. Time seemed to stand still.
"Weren't you just saying you hadn't eaten yet? Go eat first," Jian Yunong said, her gaze falling on their intertwined hands, her voice softening.
"Mm."
Huo Jincheng remained seated, noticing that Daughter-in-law's chin seemed to have sharpened a bit again, the rounded curve of her cheeks disappearing. Her lips were colorless, her cheeks lacked color, and Jian Yunong's weak breathing made Huo Jincheng furious.
His gaze shifted downward to Jian Yunong's calves, which were smeared with ointment, ruining the skin's original beauty.
"What happened?" Huo Jincheng grasped her ankle. "How did you hurt your leg?"
Jian Yunong wanted to speak, but all the emotions she had bottled up over the days suddenly burst forth. Before she could say anything, tears began to fall one by one.
"Why are you crying?" Huo Jincheng's voice was still somewhat awkward and stiff.
Jian Yunong shook her head and raised her hand to cover her tearful eyes, sobbing like a little kitten.
A sigh escaped him.
Huo Jincheng sat at the edge of the bed and pulled Jian Yunong into his arms. Just moments ago, she had only been whimpering, but now she clutched his shirt tightly and cried out loud.
Tears fell onto his expensive suit jacket.
Huo Jincheng raised his hand to stroke Jian Yunong's neck, his cold voice softened forcefully, "Crying so hard, as if I bullied you."
Jian Yunong's hoarse voice trembled, "Do you want a divorce?"
As she spoke, she loosened her grip, preparing to pull away from Huo Jincheng's embrace.
Huo Jincheng's voice instantly rose several degrees, "Say that again?"
Jian Yunong looked at him through tear-filled eyes, pouting. She felt a bit intimidated by Huo Jincheng's fierce gaze but still mustered the courage to shout!
"Just give me a straight answer: do you want a divorce?"
That's how direct she was about her feelings.
If she liked someone, they would be together; if not, then it was over. Divorce? It wouldn't hold either of them back; she wasn't someone who couldn't afford to leave.
Huo Jincheng stared at her, his voice very grim, "I let you reflect for a few days, and now you're thinking about divorce?"
Reflect?
Jian Yunong laughed in anger, "Why don’t you ask me why I was in the same car as Yi Nansheng while you turned around to take care of Bai Ru?"
"Wasn't it you who told me to find Bai Ru? Weren't you being generous? Now you're nitpicking; do you want to throw all the blame for the divorce on me?"
Huo Jincheng's attitude was truly terrible. Jian Yunong told herself to hold back. "I need to sleep now. If you want a divorce, fine. Give me the divorce agreement, and I'll leave. If this is about you wanting me to admit my mistakes, Huo Jincheng, I suggest you look in the mirror. In your current state, no one would want to communicate with you."
Huo Jincheng sat on the edge of the bed, showing no intention of leaving. Arrogantly patting the pillow, he squeezed Jian Yunong down onto the bed. "This is my room; this is my bed."
Jian Yunong was furious. Was he telling her to get lost? Fine! Then she would!
She lifted the blanket, and just as she leaned forward, a force pulled her back. The familiar scent of the man pressed closely against her. "Even you are mine!" Huo Jincheng bit her earlobe.
Jian Yunong's stubbornness flared up. It was just a marriage; when did it turn into selling herself? Suddenly, her movement halted, sensing something strange behind her...
"Aren't you going to sleep? Hurry up and sleep," Huo Jincheng's hand slipped under Jian Yunong's nightgown. "Try mentioning divorce again."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but cry out in pain, "It hurts. Be gentle, be gentle."
Her voice choked up again as she pitifully said, "You always bully me. I burned my foot that day and went out to see a doctor. I ran into Yi Nansheng. He took me to see the doctor."
Huo Jincheng's voice rose dangerously, "You didn't call me? Do you think I'm dead?"
Jian Yunong's tears flowed even more fiercely, "I did call! You were the first person I called. But no one answered your phone. I was really in so much pain. I went out in slippers. At that time, I felt unwell."
Huo Jincheng held Jian Yunong in his arms, his thumb gently brushing the corner of her eye as she cried, making her little nose turn red.
So later, Jian Yunong dragged her burned leg to find him while he was busy taking care of Bai Ru and deliberately ignored the sick Jian Yunong out of anger.
It turned out that this tactic hurt the enemy eight hundred while wounding himself a thousand!
"Idiot!"
It was unclear whether he was scolding himself or Jian Yunong.
A servant knocked at the door, "Third Young Master, the meal is ready."
"Got it."
Huo Jincheng looked down at the person in his arms, "Do you want to eat something with me?"
Jian Yunong shook her head; she had no appetite.
For someone like her, who loved to eat, it was only when she was sick that she lost her appetite.
Huo Jincheng patted her hair. When she ate a lot, he would complain, but when she ate little, he would worry.
"I want to sleep. You go eat."
Jian Yunong turned over and quickly fell asleep in the soft blankets.
The speed at which she fell asleep could almost be called instantaneous.
Huo Jincheng felt speechless. Who was that person crying just moments ago? Who was the one holding him tightly? It certainly wasn't this person who fell asleep in an instant.
Grandma Huo was waiting for him in the dining room. "Let me tell you, you made her cry again."
"…"
"You have to pamper girls. Even though you dated that girl for so many years and were often apart, you really don't know how to get along with girls." Grandma Huo served him some food. "The fact that you took the initiative to see her shows there's still hope for you. Otherwise, I would send Nong Nong abroad. How can a girl face the judgment of others? Marrying you does bring her many blessings that others can't enjoy, but she also has to endure a lot of pain."
"When did I say I wanted a divorce? I didn't say anything." Huo Jincheng replied gloomily.
He's just like a child; even after getting married, he's still a child. Grandma Huo pointed at a magazine, "Look at what this magazine says about you… which of these words relates to how you are now? Little rascal!"
"That's work-related. If I acted like this at home as I do in business negotiations, Jian Yunong would have been long gone."
"Little rascal!"
Huo Jincheng received a light hit on the head as Grandma Huo rolled up the magazine and swatted him. "I even spoke well of you! Let me tell you, I won't help you anymore! You're embarrassing me!"
She hit him, but Grandma Huo still felt sorry for him. Having never seen how normal couples interact, this child had been led by that domineering Daughter-in-law. He only had the mind for business!
Grandma Huo does not want Huo Jincheng to become a money-making machine.
"Work and life are two different things. If you insist on arguing with me like this, why don't you go date your investors? Or marry your capable assistant?"
Grandma Huo was furious.
Huo Jincheng remained silent; his investors and assistants were all men! That image was quite disturbing!
"You'll sleep in the guest room tonight," Grandma Huo ordered.
"Why?"
"Jian Yunong is sick."
"I'm not afraid of catching it; it's just a little cold, right?"
Huo Jincheng patted his chest, confident in his health.
Grandma Huo chuckled, "I'm worried you'll bully her again tonight. She's not feeling well, so you will sleep in a separate room."
Huo Jincheng felt like he was being treated unfairly.
"How have I bullied her? If I sleep with her, I can take care of her." Huo Jincheng wiped his mouth slowly, "Grandma, can't you think of me in a better light?"
"No."
Grandma Huo firmly refused.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
Huo Jincheng smiled; once they were all asleep, who would know?
At one o'clock in the morning, a shadow appeared at the door of Jian Yunong's bedroom, rustling around for a while, but the door was locked and remained motionless.
"Damn, it's like a wolf prevention measure."
Huo Jincheng muttered under his breath and had no choice but to obediently return to his guest room to sleep.
The next day, Huo Jincheng entered and closed the door. "Don't lock the door at night."
Jian Yunong feigned ignorance.
It must have been arranged by Grandma.
Huo Jincheng took off his shoes and went straight to bed, forcefully pulling Jian Yunong into his arms to sleep.
"Stay with me for a little longer. I have to go back to work at the company this afternoon."
Jian Yunong noticed the dark circles under Huo Jincheng's eyes; they were faint, suggesting he hadn't slept well last night.
"I'm currently sick with a cold and fever; I might infect you."
Jian Yunong also had a slight cough.
Huo Jincheng held her face and kissed her without hesitation.
Jian Yunong tightly clenched her jaw, while Huo Jincheng's other hand slipped under the blanket, finding her sensitive spot. Jian Yunong instantly lost her composure as Huo Jincheng took advantage of the moment, his tongue boldly sweeping through all her flavors.
Jian Yunong gasped slightly, unable to help but scold him, "No wonder my bedroom door was locked. You just lay down on the bed as soon as you entered the room; of course Grandma would be worried about you."
"Do I really lack that much self-control?"
"Then... don't press against me."
Jian Yunong lowered her voice shyly.
Huo Jincheng insisted on teasing her, "I just wanted to say hello."
But he remembered that Jian Yunong was not feeling well, so he was just joking with her and soon fell asleep holding her.
Jian Yunong also took a nap, and when she woke up, Huo Jincheng had already left.
Grandma Huo came to see her and advised, "You mustn't go soft on that little rascal!"
"......" Grandma, is it really okay to speak about your own grandson like that?
"You need to make things clear and let him know that playing the silent treatment is unacceptable. Just talking about it might not have much effect. The best way is to let him experience it himself. Let him go without! Yes! This is also a form of silent treatment in marriage!"
Grandma Huo spoke with conviction.
Jian Yunong could only nod in agreement.
