Time gave Jian Yunong a look: You know.
Thinking about it, it does seem that way.
Although Huo San Shao had a bad temper, he was quite good to her back then, giving her tolerance and motivation to move forward.
As for her and Time, after the initial curiosity faded, the two of them really couldn't spark any chemistry.
Jian Yunong couldn't accept him, and Time couldn't force a woman who often felt disgusted.
So over the years, they had lived in peace.
"Are you here to handle business this time?" Jian Yunong didn't believe that Time came specifically to visit her.
Although Time no longer monitored her like before, she estimated that someone had been reporting her general situation to him if he wanted to know.
Almost forgot to mention, Jian Yunong also disliked Time's strong controlling nature. She repeatedly emphasized not to send anyone to follow her or install surveillance cameras at home; that was just abnormal.
Time agreed, after all, in the beginning, he was curious about Jian Yunong's life.
But ever since Jian Yunong allowed him to enter her life openly, Mr. Shi no longer held that air of mystery.
Distance creates beauty; this saying is indeed true.
"Are you preparing to return to your country?"
Silence, Jian Yunong smiled and said, "Yes, I'm preparing to go back home for my aunt's wedding. This wedding is very important to my aunt. I have to go back."
"You could choose not to go back. They could hold the wedding here."
"…"
This really is Time's style.
Time doesn't quite understand these social customs.
"Little Wave…"
Time shot her a fierce glare, forbidding her from using that embarrassing name.
Jian Yunong silently changed her words, "Time, the location of the wedding is decided by the bride and groom themselves. You can't force others."
"Actually, you want to go back to see him, right?"
Time didn't beat around the bush with Jian Yunong and got straight to the point.
Jian Yunong was taken aback, a look of discomfort and mockery flashing across her face. "Time, if you say that, I will think you can't bear to part with me."
"Answer my question."
"Not."
"That's good enough." Time's tone remained indifferent. "Huo Jincheng's mother is still around, and Ye Mei is still here. No one from the Huo Family has cared about you during your years of absence. That place is not suitable for you. If you can stand and smile, don't kneel and cry."
Time is a very strong-willed person.
Even when saying heartwarming words and doing kind things, he still maintains an air of superiority. Those who are unfamiliar with him might think he is hard to approach.
But Jian Yunong knows he means well for her.
Jian Yunong gave him a reassuring look. "I understand."
Three days later, Nancheng Airport.
The faces coming and going were no longer those of foreign people with white skin and blonde hair.
Looking at the sea of yellow-skinned faces, Jian Yunong felt an indescribable sense of familiarity.
Ji Shaoli came personally to pick up Jian Yunong, holding a little one in his arms.
"Sister!"
Little Fatty called out eagerly.
"What a polite child!"
Jian Yunong wanted to hold the child in her arms and give him a good kiss, but Ji Shaoli reminded her, "He's heavy."
Jian Yunong took him and held him steadily.
Ji Shaoli showed an unexpected expression and then gave a thumbs up, "Looks like you've been working out. Strongman."
"Just a little."
Jian Yunong kissed Little Fatty on the cheek, "I can't believe you still remember me. Little Fatty has grown up and isn't chubby at all."
Little Fatty pouted, "Because Dad doesn't let me eat much."
"Uncle-in-law, it's a good thing for kids to eat well!"
"Eating well is a good thing? You probably haven't seen how many buns and bowls of rice he can eat in one sitting. I consulted the doctor; that's not good."
Every parent has their own way of educating their children. Jian Yunong quietly touched Little Fatty's cheek and lowered her voice, "I brought you some candy."
"I can hear you."
"..."
“Uncle-in-law... Eating a few Candy won't hurt, right?”
“That’s not allowed.”
“...”
What a strict dad.
Little Fatty pouted, “I listen to Dad.”
Jian Yunong was brought back to Ji Shaoli's newly renovated villa.
“You’ll be staying here for the next few days. Most of the wedding preparations are done. All you need to do is keep your aunt company. Just watch her and make sure she doesn’t run away.”
“...”
Jian Yunong was surprised, “Isn’t it her choice to get married? Uncle-in-law, did you and Auntie have another argument?”
“No.”
Ji Shaoli's face still showed signs of depression, his lips pressed tightly together, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further.
Little Fatty quietly leaned closer to Jian Yunong's ear, “Mom has been really anxious lately. Um, I think this is called pre-wedding syndrome. That’s why Daddy is unhappy too.”
Emotional fluctuations before marriage are very normal.
"I will talk to my aunt. Oh, no, I will spend more time with her. Marriage isn't that scary."
Ji Shaoli looked ahead and said, "This marriage has to happen whether I want it or not."
The stiff tone made Jian Yunong's heart skip a beat.
As soon as she entered, Mist Shenshen only greeted Jian Yunong and completely ignored Little Fatty and Ji Shaoli.
"We're going out to eat."
Mist Shenshen only intended to take Jian Yunong with her.
"Mom, I want to go too!"
"Let Ji Shaoli take you to eat."
Aunt directly called Ji Shaoli by name, her attitude very unpleasant.
Ji Shaoli's expression darkened.
It was no longer just an unpleasant situation.
"We need to talk."
Ji Shaoli directly lifted Mist Shenshen onto his shoulder and took her upstairs.
In the living room, Jian Yunong and Little Fatty exchanged glances.
"How about we go out to eat?"
"Sure! Let's go! I don't want to eat diet food at home."
Jian Yunong led Little Fatty to a Western restaurant, the two of them chatting as they walked inside.
"Jian Yunong?"
A puzzled voice came from behind.
Turning around, Jian Yunong saw Ye Mei.
Nancheng was indeed a small place, it felt like there were familiar faces everywhere.
Jian Yunong showed a confused expression, "Who are you?"
Ye Mei hesitated for a moment; five years seemed like a long time. Did Jian Yunong forget her?
"I am Mrs. Huo Jincheng," Ye Mei smiled and said, "Thank you for voluntarily giving up your seat. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing in this position."
It couldn't be that Jian Yunong didn't even remember Huo Jincheng, right?
Ye Mei looked forward to Jian Yunong's expression.
Jian Yunong's reaction was very indifferent. "What does it have to do with me? I'm not doing these things for you. Don't be so self-important."
Ye Mei showed no signs of anger. "Are you planning to come back for my wedding with Huo Jincheng?"
Where did this person get such a big ego?
"I'm coming back for my aunt's wedding."
After saying this, Jian Yunong turned to talk to Little Fatty.
Ye Mei left their sight.
Jian Yunong secretly let out a sigh.
It seemed like his appetite had been ruined by this woman.
"Sister, aren't you going to eat?" Little Fatty finished his portion and started eyeing the food on Jian Yunong's plate. The little guy carefully hid his desire for the food in his eyes.
Jian Yunong seemed to see her childhood self.
"Okay. Sister will take care of it."
The little one cheered, completely forgetting about her own parents.
Jian Yunong smiled as she watched Little Fatty finish eating.
It turned out that watching someone eat was so appetizing and made her so happy.
Was Huo Jincheng feeling the same way when he looked at her back then?
Jian Yunong patted her cheek, why was she thinking about that man again?
Did she not hear what Ye Mei said earlier?
They were getting married?
Jian Yunong paused with the knife and fork in her hand.
Ye Mei had just married Huo Jincheng?
Five years had passed, how was it such a coincidence that she returned to Nancheng just as they were getting married?
"Ah, it's probably another lie from Ye Mei, after all, this woman is just like Huo Jincheng's mother."
Little Fatty suddenly broke into a smile and cheerfully called out, "Brother-in-law!"
Brother-in-law? Jian Yunong looked over in confusion, his expression darkening. "Little Fatty, you've got the wrong person!"
How could Huo Jincheng be his brother-in-law?
"Brother-in-law!" Little Fatty didn't think he had made a mistake.
Huo Jincheng walked over to their table and reached out to pat Little Fatty on the head. "You've lost a bit of weight lately, but you look more fit."
"Hehe." Little Fatty smiled brightly. "When are you taking me to practice archery? I think it sounds fun."
"I'll have time later."
Little Fatty's eyes lit up. "Great! Then we'll go later."
Ahem!
Jian Yunong reminded him that she was still there. "We're going home soon."
"Sister can come too! Archery is really fun. Brother-in-law is especially good at it; he almost hits every target!"
“……”
Sister, listening to Brother-in-law is really awkward.
“Little Fatty, this uncle's wife is the one who just spoke to us. If you call him Brother-in-law, it will upset people, do you understand?”
Little Fatty looked confused, “Why? Isn't Brother-in-law your husband?”
Jian Yunong: “…”
She raised her eyes and glared at Huo Jincheng, “What have you told this child?”
Huo Jincheng sneered, “Do you need me to take out the marriage certificate from home for you to see?”
Jian Yunong: “…”
“Little Fatty, you eat here first.”
Jian Yunong stood up and gestured for Huo Jincheng to go to the restaurant entrance to talk.
The western restaurant was very quiet, not suitable for arguing.
“I’m not going.”
Huo Jincheng sat down directly.
Jian Yunong, who had already stood up, felt awkward.
But Huo Jincheng was sitting in her spot, leaving Jian Yunong without a place to sit.
“Huo Jincheng, Ye Mei was just bragging in front of me about your wedding.”
Jian Yunong paused, “Hey, hey, hey, those are my knife and fork, my spoon! My soup bowl! Why are you using my...”
Huo Jincheng replied leisurely, “We've done more intimate things. Do you want me to let you relive it?”
Jian Yunong glanced at Little Fatty, thankfully the little one was engrossed in the food.
Feeling frustrated, Jian Yunong searched the restaurant but couldn't find Ye Mei. Where did that woman suddenly disappear to? Was she afraid of facing her?
Jian Yunong had no choice but to give up.
She lowered her voice and said fiercely, “Don’t say such things in front of the child! You’re setting a bad example!”
“What did I say?” Huo Jincheng asked innocently, making people angry, as if Jian Yunong were some strange sister with inappropriate thoughts.
