Jian Yunong certainly did not want to go back with him.
“Huo Jincheng, I want to stay at my aunt's place. I won't run away. Why don't you go back to work first? We can talk about our matters slowly later?” Jian Yunong tried to coax him into leaving.
Huo Jincheng squinted slightly, a smile that was not quite a smile on his face, “You’re not trying to buy time, are you? Our matters have been waiting for five years already; how much longer do you want to wait?”
Jian Yunong pursed her lips slightly, “I’m really tired right now, okay?”
Even if he saw through her attempt to delay, she wouldn’t admit it.
Huo Jincheng pulled Jian Yunong into his arms and kissed her forehead, “Jian Yunong, there’s nothing to be afraid of; I’ll take care of everything. You have to trust me.”
Snuggling against his solid and warm chest, Jian Yunong softly said, “Let’s talk after my aunt’s wedding. Right now, my aunt’s wedding is the most important thing.”
Huo Jincheng did not press further.
As he was leaving, he asked for a deep kiss before finally departing.
……
On the day of the wedding, what was expected to be a sunny day suddenly turned into heavy rain.
The outdoor wedding was hastily moved indoors.
Halfway through, the guests and the bride and groom felt the unpredictable June weather; the storm caught everyone off guard, and most people got drenched in the rain.
The wind and rain were so strong that Mist Shenshen's veil was blown away.
The sunshade was also swept away.
Jian Yunong held onto Little Fatty, fearing that her aunt would get angry.
Today’s groom, Ji Shaoli, was even more on edge, keeping a close watch on Mist Shenshen, worried that if the queen was displeased for even a moment, she might just walk away from it all.
"I'm sorry... Deeply..."
Ji Shaoli's suit was draped over Mist Shenshen's head, disregarding his own drenched state.
"What are you sorry for?" Mist Shenshen tugged at a corner of the suit, signaling him to come inside.
"The wedding... I originally planned to give you a perfect wedding."
Ji Shaoli insisted on holding it outdoors, by the seaside, facing the ocean with the promise of spring blooms, but he didn't expect the weather to turn against them.
Mist Shenshen smiled, "This wedding may not be perfect, but it will definitely be memorable."
Turning around, the elegantly dressed guests had all turned into drowned rats.
At first, the weather was hot and stuffy, but after the rain started, everyone felt more comfortable. Although still damp, it was no longer the sticky and oppressive kind.
"On that rainy day when I first met you at eighteen..."
"I remember," Ji Shaoli would never forget the day they first encountered each other. "It suddenly started to rain that day, and everyone ran home or sought shelter like crazy. Only you... leisurely walked in the rain."
Mist Shenshen's lips curled into a smile as she leaned a little closer to Ji Shaoli. "You called me a fool back then."
"How could that be? I would never say something like that to you."
"Alright. You didn't actually call me a fool. You said to me: 'Hi, nice shape.'"
Ji Shaoli was a bit stunned. "What shape?"
Mist Shenshen glared at him, as if to say, "What are you pretending for?"
The white school uniform was soaked through on that rainy day, yet young Ji Shaoli followed Mist Shenshen all the way, and when she noticed him, he just smiled foolishly, thinking she had a nice shape.
Mist Shenshen looked down and realized that while she was enjoying the cool rain, she had already lost her clothes...
Mist Shenshen immediately took off Ji Shaoli's coat and put it on herself.
Because of this incident, the two of them became acquainted.
"So don't think I would be unhappy. I really like rainy days, and I enjoy getting wet in the rain. I don't find it annoying that the wedding plans have been disrupted. Because this is our wedding. Our wedding, as long as you are by my side, with children and friends and family, I think it will be a perfect wedding."
Mist Shenshen's hair was wet and stuck to her face, highlighting her skin like Bai Ru jade.
She is his wife.
The woman who finally agreed to walk into the hall of marriage with him.
He fell in love with her after getting caught in the rain during adolescence.
Now, another rain has come at their wedding, and she is about to walk into the chapel with him.
"I love you. Deeply." Ji Shaoli kissed Mist Shenshen's cool lips.
Jian Yunong walked behind them with Little Fatty, and when they saw the two suddenly stop, they were momentarily stunned.
A hand embraced her from behind.
Huo Jincheng also appeared with an umbrella from somewhere.
"Let's go. Hurry up and get indoors."
They quickened their pace and walked past the newlyweds who were kissing.
Huo Jincheng sat next to Jian Yunong the whole time, draping his suit jacket over her shoulders.
"Be careful not to catch a cold. After the ceremony, you can come upstairs with me to change clothes."
"Do we have clothes prepared for the child? I want to change Little Fatty into a new outfit; I'm afraid he might catch a cold."
"We do."
Huo Jincheng stood up, ready to accompany Jian Yunong over.
"No need, I can change him by myself."
Jian Yunong quickly changed Little Fatty's clothes, just in time for Little Fatty to step out as the flower boy.
Jian Yunong quietly sat to the side. Although she was a bridesmaid, according to Nancheng customs, a married bridesmaid could only watch from below at this moment.
Mom, Grandpa, did you see? Auntie is getting married. A woman who once said she would remain single forever is getting married... Jian Yunong watched the bride and groom kiss, silently wishing them well in her heart.
After the wedding ended that night, Mist Shenshen and Ji Shaoli took the child to vacation in Hawaii.
Only Jian Yunong was left alone.
"Can we finally have a proper talk?"
Huo Jincheng had been waiting for this opportunity.
The wedding was over, and Jian Yunong could no longer find an excuse to continue blocking what was between them.
"I..."
"Nong Nong, you didn't say that when we were in bed that day. Your attitude was very good; you agreed to everything I said. Did you turn cold-hearted after we slept together?"
Jian Yunong: "..."
Jian Yunong was taken by Huo Jincheng into a car, heading to the place where they used to live.
It wasn't back to the Huo Family Old Residence, and Jian Yunong let out a sigh of relief.
Once they got home, Huo Jincheng chose a different way to communicate.
He started taking off his clothes as soon as they entered the door...
The next morning, Jian Yunong woke up in bed, feeling sore all over.
They hadn't said anything last night!
If using more than a dozen positions could be considered communication, then they had indeed said quite a lot!
Huo Jincheng was not at home, but there was already food in the refrigerator.
Jian Yunong casually ate a couple of bites, changed her clothes, and prepared to go out, only to find that the front door wouldn't open no matter what she tried.
"What’s going on? Why did you lock the door?"
Jian Yunong tried various methods and confirmed that Huo Jincheng had locked it from the outside.
"Awake?" Huo Jincheng's voice carried a hint of laughter. "I'll be back soon to make you something delicious."
"What are you going to make..." Jian Yunong instinctively asked.
Wait, something was off; how did Huo Jincheng manage to divert her focus again?
"You better come back right now! Huo Jincheng, I'm telling you, this is very dangerous. Do you know this is illegal confinement?"
"I don't know what happened either. Maybe the door is broken," Huo Jincheng replied nonchalantly.
Jian Yunong If I didn't know his personality, I would have almost been fooled by his acting.
Huo Jincheng came back with a lot of groceries.
Jian Yunong glanced at the time on the wall, "Why are you back so early? Aren't you always busy with work?"
He was so idle; his mom must know she was back.
Maybe it wouldn't be long before she came to settle the score with her.
"I don't want to go to work. I only want to be with you."
"......"
Jian Yunong shot him a fierce glare, jerk!
"If you keep slacking off like this, your mom will definitely dislike me even more."
"It's fine, I like you."
Huo Jincheng always acted indifferent, which was really infuriating.
"Huo Jincheng, I have a suggestion."
"Let's talk about it after we finish eating."
"Why not listen to it first?"
Huo Jincheng shook the water off his hands, placed them on his waist, and looked at Jian Yunong expressionlessly, "Then go ahead and say it."
"I... I still think this isn't good. If it were my mom and you had a bad relationship with her, I would definitely stand by my mom. After all, she raised me with great difficulty. Your mom raised you too."
Here it comes again.
Huo Jincheng knew that Jian Yunong couldn't say anything nice. "I can't tell you're a good child," he sneered. "Your mother told you to marry me; did you listen to her? Be a filial child first before you try to educate others."
Jian Yunong was at a loss for words. After a while, she asked, "Have you met my mom?"
"No."
Huo Jincheng tossed her a box of strawberries. "Wash this and eat it."
Jian Yunong awkwardly replied, "Is this to make me eat more and talk less?"
"Some things are better left unsaid."
"…"
At that moment, the doorbell rang.
Jian Yunong suddenly had a bad feeling. "Do you think the person coming is your mom?"
"It won't be."
"How can you be so sure? Is your mom on a business trip?"
Huo Jincheng walked directly to the door and opened it, revealing a stranger holding a child.
"Hello. I'm looking for the child's mother, Jian Yunong."
While washing the strawberries, Jian Yunong turned off the faucet and seemed to hear the baby's voice.
As she turned around, the little one rushed over and bumped into Jian Yunong, causing her to take a step back and lean against the counter.
“Sweetheart!”
The little one said in a baby voice, “I miss you so much!”
Jian Yunong squatted down and kissed his son on the cheek, “Good boy. Who did you come with?”
“I came with Daddy!”
The little one turned his head and pointed with his small hand at the man standing in the doorway against the light, Time.
Jian Yunong frowned, her gaze landing on Huo Jincheng, whose expression was blank and utterly indifferent.
“This is Good Boy.”
Jian Yunong introduced Huo Jincheng.
Huo Jincheng sneered, “Is this why you haven’t come back for five years? Because you had a child with another man?”
He threw off his apron angrily and drove away.
Time, who had been watching, revealed a hint of a smile, “Looks like he’s really mad.”
Jian Yunong couldn’t help but glare at him, “You didn’t come to my aunt’s wedding, and now you brought Good Boy here!”
“Surprise?”
“More like a shock!”
