Huo Jincheng certainly did not want Jian Yunong to know about these matters.
The relationship between the two of them had developed after marriage; how could it compare to what others had built over the years? Moreover, it was in the face of life and death, making it even less worth mentioning.
Jian Yunong was busy with things in the kitchen. When she turned around, Huo Jincheng was still sitting at the dining table, seemingly lost in thought, as if he were looking at her but also gazing somewhere else.
"Aren't you leaving? Don't you have to work today?"
Jian Yunong's voice unconsciously softened. She hardly worked; the group's business was growing larger, and she couldn't share any burden with him while still being in a cold war with him.
Normal people would feel tired.
After listening to her aunt today, Jian Yunong planned to reconcile with Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng understood from Jian Yunong's awkward words that she cared about him. He walked over and pulled her into his arms, giving her a heavy kiss on the cheek. "Are you worried about me?"
Jian Yunong's face flushed slightly, but she refused to admit it. She raised her hand to push him away. "Who is worried about you?"
"You're really stubborn."
Huo Jincheng sighed lightly. "Why can't you be a little more adorable?"
Jian Yunong's body stiffened for a moment. "If you're going to talk, just talk. Where are you putting your hands?"
Those two hands even rubbed against her a couple of times, as if they were deliberately teasing her.
This person never had a serious moment!
Jian Yunong reminded him, "Aren't you back to get something?"
Huo Jincheng whispered, "Seeing you when I came back made me not want to leave."
"Oh." Jian Yunong wasn't fooled, "I'm clearly at home every day." But you aren't often at home.
There was a hint of resentment in her voice.
"When I'm at home, you don't give me a good expression either." Huo Jincheng's hand moved up, wrapping around her waist.
"Is it my fault? It's all my fault for not being good-looking enough, not pretty enough to keep you even without a good expression."
Has Bai Ru ever given Huo Jincheng a good expression?
Very rarely!
And Huo Jincheng had been with her for so many years!
Now that Bai Ru is in trouble, Huo Jincheng still can't bear to help her.
Although Jian Yunong was unhappy, she didn't stop him.
What would be the point of stopping him?
It wouldn't matter anyway; although Bai Ru's current situation is self-inflicted, it is indeed pitiful.
But Jian Yunong would never mention this in front of Huo Jincheng.
"Because your sulking face really looks terrible." Huo Jincheng pinched her cheek, and Jian Yunong felt that she must look particularly ugly being pinched by him. Of course, how could a piggy face look good?
Jian Yunong cursed at him, only to spit out a series of indistinct words.
But Huo Jincheng suddenly kissed her, effortlessly prying open her unprepared lips and plunging in.
Jian Yunong clenched her fists and hit him, saying, "If I'm ugly, why are you kissing me? And you're enjoying it so much!"
Huo Jincheng mumbled between her lips and tongue, "I like the way you smile; it’s like seeing light in the night."
The light in the night, ah, that is the brightest place, bringing peace to one's heart.
Jian Yunong's little fist settled down; something was fermenting in the air. She cautiously touched his tongue, and this small action elicited an even more passionate response from Huo Jincheng.
"This is the kitchen!" Jian Yunong came to her senses and couldn't help but struggle.
Huo Jincheng held her waist and casually brushed through her hair that fell over her beautiful back. "I wanted to do this when you were standing here washing dishes just now."
Jian Yunong blushed, having to brace herself against the sink to steady her swaying body. This bastard, this rogue, she kept cursing in her heart.
"Does your subordinate know you look like this?"
"Focus."
"…"
In the end, they still went up to the bedroom on the second floor. It was just that on the way up, Jian Yunong almost died; had she known, she would have rather submitted to him in the kitchen.
After it was over, Jian Yunong lay in bed unable to get up. Huo Jincheng had already changed his clothes, looking refreshed and well-dressed, showing no signs of how much of a jerk he had just been.
"I'm going to work."
Huo Jincheng leaned down and kissed her cheek, to which Jian Yunong responded with an unhappy hum.
Huo Jincheng's deep laughter was quite pleasant. "Daughter-in-law, are you not full? Time is a bit tight. When I come back tonight, we can have another three hundred rounds until you are satisfied."
Jian Yunong was at a loss for words. "Who isn't full?"
"Oh, so you are very full then?"
"..." Jian Yunong pulled the blanket over her face. "Just go to work!"
However, that night, Jian Yunong did not wait for Huo Jincheng to return.
At midnight, after finishing her reading, Jian Yunong realized how late it had gotten!
She glanced at her phone. What was going on with Huo Jincheng? Why wasn’t he back and didn’t even say a word?
Jian Yunong began to hesitate about whether she should call Huo Jincheng.
After thinking it over, she decided to call him. He would definitely use that cheeky tone to ask her if she remembered the three hundred rounds. What if he was on his way back? He would surely use that line to tease her later.
Jian Yunong realized that whenever Huo Jincheng said those flirtatious things, she was never his match.
What was up with Huo Jincheng? He clearly looked like a well-mannered young master from a wealthy family, yet when it came to bed, he always said things that were utterly shocking.
Jian Yunong decided to turn off the lights and go to sleep.
The next day, Huo Jincheng still did not come home, nor did he on the third day.
Jian Yunong could no longer sit still; Huo Jincheng was really becoming more and more unreasonable.
It was once again the day to return to the old house for dinner.
Jian Yunong thought she would probably see him today, but he did not come.
Coincidentally, Bai Ru also did not come.
Instead, Huo Liangchen showed up.
Grandma Huo asked Jian Yunong why she hadn't seen Huo Jincheng. In front of so many people, Jian Yunong couldn't say she didn't know; she could only say he was busy and had no time.
Huo Liangchen, sitting across from her, gave Jian Yunong a meaningful glance.
Jian Yunong felt an inexplicable thud in her heart.
After the family dinner was over, Jian Yunong ran into Huo Liangchen in the hallway.
"My brother told you he's busy?" Huo Liangchen's smile was chillingly sharp.
Jian Yunong pretended not to understand. "Big Brother, he has always been very busy."
"So you are just Huo Jincheng's nominal wife."
Huo Liangchen dropped this remark and walked past her.
Confused, Jian Yunong turned around and went upstairs to say goodbye to Grandma Huo, claiming she needed to go home to study.
However, after leaving the Huo Family Old Residence, Jian Yunong did not go home and called Huo Jincheng, but there was no answer.
She knew that Huo Jincheng had a good friend, Xu Yizhi.
But she did not have his contact information.
This was quite troublesome.
It seemed she had heard Huo Jincheng mention that Xu Yizhi owned a bar in Nancheng.
Jian Yunong took a taxi there.
The bar was quite impressive, almost like a hotel.
Jian Yunong asked specifically to see Xu Yizhi and was taken to the second floor.
When Xu Yizhi saw Jian Yunong, he greeted her with a smile, but after hearing her reason for coming, his expression changed from a smile to anger. "That guy went on a business trip and didn't bother to tell you?"
