Jian Yunong pouted, "Aunt, I can't explain it to Huo Jincheng. He hasn't pursued what happened that day; I thought it would upset him, but it seems I was overthinking. He doesn't scold me or get angry. Right now, we're just ignoring each other, which is quite pointless."
Mist Shenshen chuckled at her, as if she were a child. "Huo Jincheng is right. Why get angry with a child? What's the point? Just like my son, he's small but full of mischief. The more you pay attention to him, the more spoiled he gets, and the more he tries to push boundaries. Look how young he is! It shows that this tendency to take advantage is a common human flaw. It has nothing to do with age. You're a typical example of this."
"Aunt, I'm begging you..."
"I don't care; you go talk to Huo Jincheng. I won't lie for you. This matter is clearly not in your favor."
Mist Shenshen refused without hesitation, "What do you mean studying in Port City? In Nancheng, right under our noses, you can still cause so much trouble."
"I can take care of myself. Didn't I manage alone when I was abroad?"
"Alone? Taking care of yourself to the point of developing serious psychological issues?"
Feeling distressed and wanting to cry, Jian Yunong was no match for her aunt.
Mist Shenshen, however, was a Public Relations Manager by profession, skilled at dealing with difficult reporters; she could turn even death into life. Debating with her was like denying someone their existence.
Jian Yunong decided not to bring up the matter again. After all, everything she had prepared was in her large bag, and she had already ditched Huo Jincheng's driver. She would deal with things when she got to Port City. Would they really come back to drag her away?
Mist Shenshen took Jian Yunong to a tea ceremony class, which had about twenty participants.
The teacher, dressed in a Japanese kimono, sat on stage while everyone watched intently. Only Jian Yunong seemed uninterested from the start. To her, the Japanese tea ceremony was filled with an obsessive sense of ritual; whether the tea tasted good was secondary.
Did these so-called socialites really have so much free time?
She would rather spend her time reading than waste it on such imported activities.
Quietly, Jian Yunong stepped outside, while Fatty was sleeping in the adjacent nursery. Jian Yunong couldn't go in to disturb him, so she had to take a book out to read in the lounge area.
Tap tap tap, the sound of high heels broke the serene atmosphere.
"Hello, President Bai."
The two staff members at the front desk stood up, their voices respectful.
"What class is being held now?"
"Today is Teacher Yako's tea ceremony class."
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Jian Yunong instinctively looked up, her gaze suddenly becoming complicated.
Is this place run by Bai Yaoyao?
Could she really open such a place to teach everyone about high-society etiquette? What nonsense!
Bai Yaoyao didn't see Jian Yunong and walked inside with her high heels clicking, as if she were a leader on an inspection tour.
Jian Yunong silently waited for Mist Shenshen to finish her class.
"You little rascal, I brought you here for class, and as soon as I turn my back, you run outside. If I pay for you, are you going to skip class here every day?"
Jian Yunong smiled, "Auntie, guess who I just saw!"
"Who?"
"Bai Yaoyao!"
"Seeing is believing. In such a big city like Nancheng, she still wants to get married again. It's necessary to come here and learn how to win over men and how to be a qualified wealthy wife."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but laugh, "She is the Boss here."
Mist Shenshen's expression suddenly became quite interesting.
Bai Yaoyao's reputation in this circle is particularly poor; she is considered a typical failure. Mist Shenshen dislikes Bai Yaoyao because this woman has not treated Jian Yunong well.
"Let's go, let's go, we won't come back to this place again."
Carrying the sleepy, drooling Little Fatty, Mist Shenshen and Jian Yunong went home together.
After finishing dinner at Mist Shenshen's house, Jian Yunong left at nine o'clock in the evening.
As she was leaving, Mist Shenshen was busy coaxing Little Fatty and couldn't spare a moment. Jian Yunong successfully left, took a taxi straight to the high-speed rail station, and boarded the last train.
She sent a text message to Huo Jincheng: I'm sleeping at my aunt's house tonight; Uncle-in-law is not home, and my aunt asked me to keep her company.
The message went out like a stone sinking into the sea.
No response? That's fine; perhaps Huo Jincheng is with Bai Ru and her child right now.
When she arrived at Port City, Jian Yunong received a call from her aunt.
"Where are you?"
Jian Yunong's heart sank; her whereabouts had been exposed. Was her aunt coming to confront her? Jian Yunong felt a bit scared but still forced herself to say, "I'm at home!"
Mist Shenshen let out a cold laugh. "Who are you trying to fool? I called your home, and there was no one there."
Looking at the time, it was already early morning.
Huo Jincheng wasn't home.
Jian Yunong couldn't tell whether she should feel happy or sad.
"Aunt, I was just taking a shower and didn't hear your call." Had she gotten married? Jian Yunong continued to lie.
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Huo Jincheng still hasn't come back this late?"
"Yeah, he's been quite busy with work lately."
"Alright. Then you should get some rest."
Mist Shenshen hung up the phone.
Jian Yunong let out a sigh and headed straight to the hotel she had booked.
Because she arrived too late, when Jian Yunong asked at the Front Desk, she found out that the room she had originally reserved had already been assigned to other guests.
Jian Yunong knew this was a common practice in the hotel industry—overbooking!
But she never expected her luck to be this bad, running into such a situation!
All the other rooms in the hotel were full.
Jian Yunong couldn't help but lose her temper at the Front Desk, saying, "This is your hotel's problem; why should I have to pay for it?"
It was late at night, and being in the suburbs, where was she supposed to find another hotel?
In the end, the manager stepped in and offered to take her to a nearby hotel that had available rooms, even giving her a room upgrade.
Jian Yunong was already very tired and had no energy to listen to his nonsense; she just wanted to find a place to rest quickly.
When she got out of the car, she realized how extravagant this upgrade service was!
She had been upgraded to the Lady's Suite, right next to the Presidential Suite.
This was not just a room upgrade; it was like being launched into space!
This hotel looks much more luxurious than the previous one!
Jian Yunong lay on the big bed, dazed for a while, feeling an unreal sense of having hit the jackpot.
Perhaps this is a good omen, signaling that everything will go smoothly in tomorrow's exam.
Jian Yunong took a refreshing shower and then lay down to sleep.
In the middle of the night, the door to the room opened, and a tall figure walked in, standing by the bed, gazing at Jian Yunong's sleeping face. Leaning down, their fingertips brushed against Jian Yunong's shoulder, gently pulling the blanket up a bit.
Jian Yunong was completely unaware of all this.
The shadow left the room, and someone was waiting at the door.
"Mr. Huo."
"Deliver breakfast to her room tomorrow morning. Remember to provide her with a wake-up service and send someone to take her to school."
"Yes," the Hotel Manager replied respectfully.
The adjacent Presidential Suite had already been opened, and Huo Jincheng, dressed in a neatly pressed dark suit with his legs crossed, received a uniform ninety-degree bow from the staff, welcoming the president's arrival.
