In this world, there is nothing that Jin Chengyan dares not do; there are only things he is unwilling to do.
He curled his finger, and countless women rushed to sleep with him!
Of course, it all depended on whether Jin Chengyan was willing to sleep with them!
He held Jono and returned to the hospital, unceremoniously instructing the nurse to take Chuyu Xiu to another room to sleep, which was met with Jono's protest.
"How can you let such a small child sleep alone at night? What if something happens?"
Jin Chengyan remained unmoved and insisted that the nurse carry the sleeping Chuyu Xiu out. He simply did not want him in his ward.
"He's a boy."
"I know he's not a girl, but he's still a child. If he wants to be independent, we should at least see if he can handle it! He's only three years old!" If something were to happen to Chuyu Xiu, how could she explain it to Jin Mengli?
"Are you suggesting that I share a bed with someone of the opposite sex? Thank you, but I'm not that generous!" With that, Jin Chengyan tossed a nightgown at Jono, which she had prepared for him.
Jono held the nightgown in confusion, not quite grasping Jin Chengyan's meaning.
"You are my wife. Are you asking me to watch you sleep in the same bed as another man?"
Jono: "..." Now she understood.
But now that she got it, Jono's expression darkened even more. That "man" was just a three-year-old child, Jin Chengyan's nephew.
Wasn't he being a bit too domineering?
"How strange..." Jono murmured softly.
But Jin Chengyan heard him and replied, "You want me to keep my distance from other women, so you should keep your distance from other men. That's fair, understand?"
Jono was speechless. This was just domineering!
"Go take a shower. Even though it's a hospital, I'm here, so you don't have to be afraid."
As Jono listened to his words, she couldn't shake the feeling that it was getting... bizarre.
She never said she was afraid!
Yet Jin Chengyan continued, "The Jin Mansion may be old, but it's not as terrifying as Chuyu Xiu described. If you don't like it there, just find somewhere else that suits you and move. I thought you would like the old house."
It would be a lie to say she wasn't touched; he only thought she was scared, so he kept her mother around?
"Don't look at me with such a moved expression. I've never seen someone as timid as you—scared pale by Chuyu Xiu!"
Jono wanted to retort that it wasn't being pale; it was lingering fear...
Well, okay, maybe she was a little scared.
Jono obediently went to take a shower, feeling quite pleased inside.
Jin Chengyan stood in the hospital room and suddenly rubbed his temples.
Was she being too nice to Jono? Would it give her the wrong idea?
But what the hell! She was now Jin Chengyan's wife; was there anything wrong with treating his wife a little better?
...
They had originally agreed to send Chuyu Xiu back that same day, but he ended up falling asleep in the hospital that night. The next day, he followed Jono and Jin Chengyan back to Jin Mansion, clearly indicating that he intended to stay with them.
Of course, under Jin Chengyan's coercion and temptation, Chuyu Xiu dared not say anything about how old the Jin Mansion was to Jono.
Chuyu Xiu was picked up by the Chu Family on the third day. The Chu Family cherished this child; how could they let him stay with Uncle and Aunt-in-law every day? It wasn't like he didn't have a home.
However, once Chuyu Xiu left, Jono found life a bit dull.
Chuyu Xiu was simply a quirky character; when he wasn't around, she missed him quite a bit.
But Jono had her own matters to attend to and couldn't dwell on Chuyu Xiu.
She still wanted to fight for a chance with Ji Family regarding Jin Architecture.
However, unexpectedly, the higher-ups of Jin Family issued an order stating that all collaborations involving Jin Architecture were to be suspended until they sold off all their properties!
In other words, they were not allowed to collaborate with Ji Family. Even if Ji Family chose Jin Architecture, Jono and her team would not be able to bypass Jin Family to work with Ji Family!
This issue, of course, Jono needed to bring up with Jin Chengyan. Why should he prevent her from collaborating with Ji Family?
As soon as this person heard that Jono was calling for business, he immediately said to her, "You can schedule a time with Alice. I'm very busy right now."
With that, Jin Chengyan hung up the phone!
It was hard to believe that just last night, these two had shared the same bed, and now this person was turning hostile. Was it really necessary to be so unreasonable?
But what could she do? She could only call Alice.
Alice said, "I'm sorry, Miss Qiao. Jin Shao's appointments are booked until the end of next month, and with your level, you cannot bypass your superior to contact him directly!"
Jono was speechless.
Jin Chengyan, you really are something!
Unexpectedly, after a while, Jin Chengyan sent a text saying, "Join me for dinner tonight."
Oh, weren't your appointments scheduled until the end of next month? Where did you find the time for dinner?
"Is this a personal invitation or a business meeting?" Jono quickly replied to Jin Chengyan.
Holding his phone, Jin Chengyan's lips curled into a slight smile; it was clear that he was in a good mood.
"If it's a business meeting, you'll never get the chance to see me. I'll send you the address. Dress nicely; don't embarrass me," Jin Chengyan replied without holding back and sent it out in an instant.
When Jono saw the message, she felt completely taken aback. What an attitude!
Although Jono liked Jin Chengyan, it didn't mean that Jono had to listen to him all the time!
"I'm not going. I'm angry. You can go eat by yourself!"
With one hand holding his phone, Jin Chengyan rubbed his temples and suddenly asked the Director reporting to him in the office, "What do you guys do when a woman gets angry?"
The two Directors sitting in front of Jin Chengyan were quite different; one was already in his fifties and past the age where he needed to coax anyone, while the other was a single man in his thirties who had no woman to appease.
So when faced with their boss's question, both of them were momentarily stunned.
Moreover, they had just been discussing a project worth over a hundred million! The boss's train of thought was jumping too quickly!
"Women are... easy to soothe. Just say some sweet words, and that's enough," said the Director in his thirties.
"Really?" Jin Chengyan expressed his skepticism.
"Buy a small gift. As long as it's something she likes, seeing the gift will make any anger disappear!" The fifty-year-old Director analyzed from his experience.
Jin Chengyan nodded but didn’t indicate that he would adopt either of their suggestions. "You two continue," he instructed them to keep reporting on their work while he pondered how to reply to Jono's text message.
Half an hour later, Jono received a text from Jin Chengyan. At first, she thought he might not respond at all!
The message read: "Be good, don’t make a fuss. I’m waiting for you."
Jono could imagine how spoiled she would feel if Jin Chengyan said those words directly to her.
Indulgence?
When Jono thought of this word, her heart skipped a beat.
Did she feel that Jin Chengyan had been particularly nice to her these days, to the point where it almost felt unreal?
...
To put it nicely, after work, Jono would head to Jin Mansion, pick out a beautiful outfit, and dress up elegantly to stand before him.
Although it was just a private dinner, if she were to bring up Jasper at the table, what could he do about it? He might use both soft and hard tactics...
It seemed there was no way to confront Jin Chengyan directly; he was like an impregnable fortress.
So... how could she approach him softly?
Just as she was pondering this, Jono's phone rang. Thinking it was Jin Chengyan calling, she was surprised to see it was Huo Yawen, who hadn’t contacted her in a long time.
It seemed that after the funeral, Huo Yawen had vanished from her sight.
"Hello..."
"Is this Dr. Huo's sister? Dr. Huo fainted in the lab this afternoon. His parents are abroad and we can't reach them. If you are his sister, please come to the hospital as soon as possible."
Jono blinked twice. Huo Yawen had fainted?
She said nothing and hurried to the hospital.
Jono remembered that Huo Yawen had mentioned their family immigrated abroad, with both parents working in the medical field there. Huo Yawen returned home because he was not accustomed to life over there.
However, what Jono did not understand was that since Father Huo and Mom Ho were both abroad, even if Huo Yawen was not used to it, it wouldn’t be good for him to come back alone.
Now that he had fainted, his parents far away could not return and could only worry about him. If something happened to them, he wouldn’t be able to go over either!
With these thoughts in mind, Jono arrived at the hospital.
The ward was very quiet. Huo Yawen was lying quietly on the bed, an IV drip attached to his arm as he slept.
"You must be Dr. Huo's sister," the Head Nurse said as she entered. "Dr. Huo has been in the hospital for two weeks straight. He sleeps in his office when he's tired and his eating habits are irregular. If he hadn't fainted, we wouldn't know when he planned to take a break. As his sister, please help us persuade Dr. Huo not to work so hard."
Jono was taken aback. Turning back to look at Huo Yawen, she noticed how pale his face was.
He really didn’t know how to take care of himself; even if he wanted to dedicate himself to medicine, it didn’t have to be like this!
"Okay, I understand. Can you please help Dr. Huo take a month off? He needs proper rest in this condition."
"Sure, I'll go speak with Dr. Huo's supervisor right away."
The Head Nurse left the room, and Jono pulled up a chair beside Huo Yawen's bed.
In fact, Jono's influence on Huo Yawen had remained from their childhood days.
The summer in Qin Cheng was hot, but she and Huo Yawen each held half a watermelon, sitting on the steps in front of their home, scooping out the fruit with spoons.
They would also go to the riverbank together to catch fish, and Huo Yawen would teach Jono how to write his name...
He was her best childhood memory.
As the sky gradually darkened, Huo Yawen woke up to find the room dim. He looked at the IV drip hanging from his hand, realizing it was almost empty. He remembered fainting in the lab that afternoon.
After 48 hours without sleep and hardly any food, his body could no longer take it and he collapsed.
But just as he was about to press the button to call a nurse for a saline change, he saw Jono sitting in a chair with her eyes closed...
It was Jono!
Was he dreaming?
He wanted to raise his hand to feel if this was all just a dream, twisting and turning in his mind, wondering if she had truly returned to his side.
"Cough cough..." Unfortunately, the cough betrayed him, and he wished he could silence himself immediately.
However, nothing could hide a cough.
It successfully woke Jono up.
Seeing that Huo Yawen was awake, she quickly turned on the light in the room. Noticing that the saline was almost gone, Jono immediately called for a nurse.
Today, the saline drip had finished, and the nurse removed the needle from Huo Yawen's arm.
After the comings and goings of people, only Jono and Huo Yawen remained in the ward.
"I'm sorry for making you come at this time. I hope I didn't inconvenience you," Huo Yawen said, sounding somewhat awkward.
"What are you apologizing for? We're practically family, and your parents aren't here. If I don't come to take care of you, who will?" Besides, it was Huo Yawen who had helped with many things during his father's funeral.
Jono felt that if he could help Huo Yawen in any way, it would be a way to express his gratitude.
Then, Huo Yawen fell silent, perhaps still unprepared to accept the fact that Jono was married.
"By the way, the Head Nurse mentioned that you haven't been home for a long time and haven't had a proper rest. So I took the liberty of requesting a month off for you. You need to take some time to rest."
"But I have several surgeries scheduled..."
"How can you perform surgeries like this? Listen to me; what you need right now is proper rest and recovery. Come back to work only when you're fully recovered." Jono stated firmly, leaving no room for Huo Yawen to object.
Huo Yawen could only remain silent. It seemed there was nothing wrong with Jono's arrangement.
He was a person with great self-discipline, always managing his own affairs meticulously. No one had ever arranged his work or life for him.
More than anything, Huo Yawen disliked others interfering in his life.
Yet he did not reject Jono's actions; in fact, he found comfort in seeing him take charge.
"Alright, I'll take a month off," Huo Yawen compromised, "but I want to go home. I've been in the hospital for too long."
Jono smiled, "You know it! Fine, I'll take you home right now!"
"No need, I can go back by myself."
"You think I'm going to listen to you? What if I leave and you end up back in the lab?"
Huo Yawen chuckled; it seemed he had no credibility in Jono's eyes!
In the end, Jono still took Huo Yawen home.
Huo Yawen's house was clean and tidy, but it was clear that no one had lived there for a while; there was even a layer of dust on the floor.
If it were daytime, Jono would have definitely aired out the blankets and cleaned the room before letting the sick person stay, but since it was nighttime and there wasn't much time, Jono simply changed Huo Yawen's sheets for fresh ones.
"Rest for a bit; I'll make you some porridge. Sick people shouldn't eat anything too greasy!" Jono said before heading to the kitchen.
Watching Jono busy himself, Huo Yawen wanted to say that it wasn't very convenient for him to be there right now, but in the end, he held his tongue.
