If she didn't look at the food and didn't smell its aroma, Jian Yunong could firmly say, "No, I won't."
But now, in front of these dishes, Jian Yunong felt a bit sad.
Huo Jincheng was focused on using his chopsticks to eat, not glancing at her at all; clearly, the food was delicious.
After finishing his meal, Huo Jincheng put down his bowl and leisurely looked at Jian Yunong. "Have you grown some backbone?"
Not even eating?
Who is being tortured here, and for whose sake?
Jian Yunong took a deep breath, her hands resting on her knees gradually clenched into fists.
Huo Jincheng stared at every movement of Jian Yunong. "The way to annoy me is to punish yourself by sacrificing your own future? That method is truly brilliant."
His tone was flat, each word spoken slowly. Jian Yunong detected the sarcasm, as if he had slapped her in the face.
What he called brilliant sounded utterly foolish.
"That's fine; the weaker you are, the more you can't escape my control." Huo Jincheng stood up, dragging his chair across the floor. "It's okay if you don't eat; I'll have a doctor give you an IV. You can choose between getting an injection or eating; it's up to you."
After saying this, Huo Jincheng lifted his foot and went upstairs.
Jian Yunong glared at his back, angrily picking up her bowl and chopsticks. Of course, she would eat! She hated injections the most!
Huo Jincheng may be annoying, but the food is indeed very delicious. There's nothing wrong with this food.
Jian Yunong accidentally ate until she was quite full.
Returning to the study, Jian Yunong began to review the materials for the re-examination at Port City University. She had already missed the opportunity at A University, so she needed to seize this chance.
The re-examination is scheduled for the day after tomorrow, which means Jian Yunong must set off for Port City tomorrow.
Huo Jincheng would definitely disagree, so she decided to proceed secretly.
After finishing her reading, Jian Yunong started packing her things. It was already 11 PM.
She didn't need to bring much; she would return immediately after the exam.
She checked her items and packed her documents, all of which she had prepared in advance. She wanted to live independently.
Living in Nancheng was indeed good, but now... they needed some time apart to understand what each of them truly needed.
This was the conclusion she arrived at after careful consideration for a long time.
After stuffing her packed items into the bottom of the cabinet, Jian Yunong calmly went downstairs to get some water.
The kitchen had already been tidied up; at this hour, it couldn't have been the cleaning lady, so it must have been Huo Jincheng who did it.
For a moment, Jian Yunong felt a wave of nostalgia, as if she were back to when their relationship was just starting to blossom. At that time, Huo Jincheng often cooked for her at home, and while he washed the dishes, she would cling to him.
When did they become so distant from each other?
Not wanting to think about these questions, Jian Yunong shook her head, exhaled, and focused on preparing for the re-examination the day after tomorrow.
Jian Yunong entered the bedroom, where Huo Jincheng was already half-reclining on the bed, with the reading lamp on, engrossed in a book.
After dawdling in the bathroom for a while, she came out to find that he was still awake.
Jian Yunong climbed into bed from the other side, turning her back to Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng continued reading; his shadow was cast on the wall, with gentle contours clearly defined. The sound of pages turning created a soft rustling noise that brushed against her heart.
Jian Yunong watched his shadow, unsure why she felt so wide awake.
Finally, Huo Jincheng closed the book.
With a click, the light went off.
Jian Yunong sensed his movements as he lay down beside her.
As they fell asleep, neither acknowledged the other.
However, when she woke up the next day, Jian Yunong found herself lying in Huo Jincheng's arms, tightly embracing him with her face pressed against his chest.
Quietly, Jian Yunong crawled out of his embrace, got out of bed, and prepared to make breakfast.
Huo Jincheng came down from upstairs, and Jian Yunong had already prepared breakfast, heating up the shaomai sent from the Huo Family Old Residence and warming some milk.
Huo Jincheng glanced at it and walked straight out.
Jian Yunong, sitting at the dining table, paused for a moment. "Aren't you going to have breakfast?"
Huo Jincheng didn't stop his movements. "I have something to do."
Jian Yunong felt a bit speechless, staring at his back, but she didn't say the words about not skipping breakfast.
However, it was fine that Huo Jincheng went out to be busy. Jian Yunong quickened her pace to finish breakfast and called her aunt to ask where she was.
Her aunt answered in a curt tone, "What do you want?"
"Aunt, didn't you say you would take me to some class? I'm free today."
"Then come over. I'll take you to meet that teacher first."
Jian Yunong quickly gathered her things and left in a car.
When she arrived downstairs at her aunt's house, Jian Yunong instructed the driver, "You don't need to wait for me today. I'm going with my aunt to the event; she's driving. You don't have to stay here waiting for me."
The driver showed a troubled expression. "Madam, the Third Young Master instructed..."
"What? To monitor me? Have you forgotten about that incident? If the Third Young Master finds out about it, do you think you'll keep this high-paying job? I will call Huo Jincheng."
The driver finally drove away.
Jian Yunong went upstairs, where Mist Shenshen was putting on makeup. Ji Shaoli was holding Little Chubby, looking displeased at Mist Shenshen. "What’s the point of putting on makeup? You're just accompanying Jian Yunong to class; is it necessary to look so pretty?"
There was a strong smell of jealousy in the room.
Little Chubby saw Jian Yunong appear and happily drooled, reaching out for a hug.
Jian Yunong set the child aside to play, while Ji Shaoli's tall figure walked behind the alluring Mist Shenshen and directly pulled her into the room.
As for what happened inside, Jian Yunong played with Little Chubby in the toy room for almost an hour before Mist Shenshen came to knock on the door.
"Let's go."
Mist Shenshen's tone was not good, her makeup much lighter than before, and she had changed into a different outfit.
Ji Shaoli smiled, "Come with Daddy."
The little one clung to Jian Yunong's neck, unwilling to leave.
"Then let the child stay with you," Ji Shaoli said as he walked away leisurely.
Mist Shenshen looked displeased; Ji Shaoli was doing it on purpose, having clearly agreed that he would take care of the child today.
"Have you talked to Huo Jincheng?"
After getting into the car, Jian Yunong sat in the back seat, talking with Little Chubby, when her aunt in the driver's seat suddenly spoke up.
Jian Yunong pretended not to hear.
"I'm telling you, you need to apologize to Huo Jincheng. Don't just brush it off."
"Got it."
Jian Yunong straightened her body. "Aunt, can you do me a favor?"
Mist Shenshen glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "What favor?"
"I need to go to Port City for an exam. Can you help me lie and say I slept at your place today?"
Mist Shenshen was speechless. "Say that again? Lie?"
"Aunt! Please? Huo Jincheng won't agree to this, and I don't want to discuss it with him."
"If you don't talk about it, how will you know? Your attitude is very dangerous."
