Jian Yunong held Guai Guai's hand and said, "Come on, call Aunt Le. She is the wife of my mom's friend, Uncle Yi..."
Le Yi's eyes glistened with tears; it had been a long, long time since anyone had called her that.
It felt like something from the last century.
When people are young, they make many mistakes.
Le Yi's awakening came too late.
The only fortunate thing might be that there was still a child by her side.
...
Shichen planned to leave Nancheng and asked Jian Yunong if she wanted to leave with him. Huo Jincheng had not shown up for several days; it was unclear whether he was too busy or for some other reason.
"Alright."
After some hesitation, Jian Yunong agreed.
If Huo Jincheng did not come looking for her, she would have to return to her original life.
"Don't be too sad," Time patted Jian Yunong's shoulder.
"I'm okay."
Jian Yunong actually didn't hold out much hope.
After all, the cost of getting back together was too great.
It wasn't that she didn't love Huo Jincheng, but the people and matters in his family made her feel exhausted.
Jian Yunong also didn't want Guai Guai to grow up in such an environment; she would rather let Guai Guai be a child without much money but certainly very happy.
Let's not mention whether Mother Huo will acknowledge the child; even if she does, it’s possible she might turn him into a money-making machine.
Jian Yunong shuddered at the thought.
At the business terminal, while waiting to board the plane, Jian Yunong considered calling Huo Jincheng.
She should at least say something before leaving.
Stepping aside, she pressed Huo Jincheng's phone number, only to find… it was turned off.
The airport announcement for boarding echoed through the terminal.
Jian Yunong took one last look at the sky in Nancheng.
“Let’s go, baby.”
Jian Yunong didn’t know what reason to give the child for her departure, but fortunately, he hadn’t asked anything along the way. Time had prepared delicious chocolates for him and played with him. Jian Yunong focused on sorting out her own emotions.
Upon returning to America, many things awaited her.
That day, just after class, Jian Yunong suddenly received a call from her aunt.
“Jian Yunong! You! You need to check the news right now!”
Her aunt sounded particularly excited on the phone, her voice several octaves higher.
Jian Yunong hadn’t felt her aunt this flustered in a long time. “Okay, I’ll check it later. I need to go to my advisor’s office to submit some materials.”
“No, no, no! You have to look now! It’s really amazing…”
“What is it about?”
“You’ll find out when you open it. It’s about Huo Jincheng.”
After hanging up the phone, Jian Yunong stared at the screen for a while but ultimately did not click on the link.
She had been busy all afternoon and didn't even have time to eat lunch.
When she got home, Baby was not there; she had obediently gone to kindergarten. Jian Yunong opened the refrigerator and found it completely empty, so she grabbed her wallet and phone to go to a nearby convenience store.
While waiting to check out, her aunt's text message came again: "Haven't you looked at the link yet? Don't you have anything to say?"
There was a long line at the checkout counter. Jian Yunong clicked on the link and seemed to be watching a press conference.
She saw Huo Jincheng, dressed in a suit, sitting in the center with a serious expression. This was how he looked when he wasn't smiling—an aloofness that kept people at arm's length.
Jian Yunong had initially been indifferent until Huo Jincheng mentioned separating from Huo Group... Her wallet fell to the ground with a thud.
Jian Yunong immediately called her aunt. "Is Huo Jincheng planning to start his own business?"
Mist Shenshen sounded disdainful. "Do you think he's just starting his own business? My silly Nong Nong, he's slapping his mother's face, going head-to-head with her! Huo Jincheng is really bold; he must have been planning this for more than a year or two. You know that the Huo Family is a big family; there's no such thing as splitting up. But Huo Jincheng has publicly separated from them. I estimate that the Empress Dowager of the Huo Family might explode with anger."
Jian Yunong didn't know what to say.
It was her turn to check out, and she prepared to hang up the phone.
"Jian Yunong, now that Huo Jincheng has fallen out with the Huo Family, are you really not considering him?"
She paused for a moment. "Sometimes, teeth can bite tongues too. Let alone family members living together. It's normal to have friction."
"You think this is just a child arguing with his mother?" Mist Shenshen sighed. "Are you lacking confidence in Huo Jincheng or in yourself? After five years, he finally found you. And now, at this critical moment, he's severing ties with his family. What does that mean? It's not just about his independence; it's also about his attitude towards you."
Jian Yunong helplessly replied, "Auntie, are you trying to advocate for Huo Jincheng again? It seems like you haven't communicated with him for a while. You don't need to say more. This matter will only concern me if he comes to talk about it personally; otherwise, I won't get carried away thinking it relates to me. You're right; we are all adults now; we won't act impulsively or let love overshadow everything like before."
Angry, Mist Shenshen hung up the phone directly.
"How much is it?"
Jian Yunong asked the cashier, who had been on the phone and hadn't paid attention to the price.
"It's already been paid."
The cashier smiled.
"Paid?" Jian Yunong still held her wallet in her hand without opening it.
Turning around, Jian Yunong saw the expressionless Huo Jincheng.
This time, it was Jian Yunong's phone that fell to the ground.
Huo Jincheng bent down to pick it up, the screen displaying an image from Huo Jincheng's press conference, frozen on a close-up of him.
Huo Jincheng glanced at it and directly put the phone into his pocket, then picked up the two bags.
Jian Yunong hurried after him. "Why are you here?"
Huo Jincheng ignored her.
"Aren't you going to return my phone?"
Huo Jincheng still didn't respond.
They were walking in the direction of Jian Yunong's home.
Jian Yunong followed behind Huo Jincheng, feeling a bad premonition in her heart.
"Huo Jincheng..."
"Didn't you want me to say it to your face? I'm right in front of you; why aren't you asking me?"
"..."
Did he just hear everything she talked about with her aunt?
"How did you find me? I thought your mom would keep you locked up..."
How strong is Huo's mother's controlling nature? Could she really tolerate being publicly humiliated by her son like that?
Huo Jincheng glanced back at Jian Yunong and handed her both bags with one hand, saying, "Take your things."
Jian Yunong: "..."
Jian Yunong reached out her hand, but Huo Jincheng suddenly took her hand with his other free hand.
After being stunned for three seconds, Jian Yunong was led forward by Huo Jincheng.
What he meant just now was... he belongs to her?
"Open the door."
Huo Jincheng accurately found Jian Yunong's home.
Jian Yunong took out her keys and was about to unlock the door when she realized something was off. What was going on? Why was she following his orders?
