Chapter Eight
"Did Sister-in-law leave?"
Huo Jincheng came down from upstairs, carrying the fresh scent of a shower.
Jian Yunong nodded, "She left."
Sister-in-law was driven away by anger. Before leaving, she glared at Jian Yunong for a long time and finally squeezed out a stiff sentence, "How could Huo Jincheng marry someone as rude as you?"
Jian Yunong considered herself a polite person towards her elders. When an elder asked a question, answering was part of Chinese etiquette, right? So she smiled and replied, "You should ask Huo Jincheng."
Sister-in-law stormed out in anger, slamming the door behind her.
The star that Huo Jincheng liked was indeed a great beauty; that fleeting glimpse the other day was simply breathtaking.
Suddenly, Jian Yunong came to her senses. "Why do I feel like your sister-in-law looks a bit like that girl..."
Huo Jincheng had already finished a bowl of soup and ignored Jian Yunong's nonsensical remark.
"That girl is your girlfriend!" Jian Yunong poked Huo Jincheng's arm.
Bang!
Huo Jincheng placed the soup bowl on the table with just the right amount of force. Hearing the word "girlfriend" made him feel irritated.
"Jian Yunong, are you jealous?"
Huo Jincheng's lips curled into a mischievous smile, his expression ambiguous.
"Huo Jincheng, do you think you're Renminbi or instant noodles? Loved by everyone or just someone everyone wants to date?"
"As a wife, always mentioning other women in front of her husband, what else could it be if not jealousy?"
"We're in a hidden marriage! We don't even consider ourselves married, so what kind of couple are we?"
Huo Jincheng's captivating gaze suddenly fixed on Jian Yunong's face. His long fingers fell onto the belt of his bathrobe, slowly loosening it like a scene from a movie, revealing his strong chest.
"What are you doing?" Jian Yunong stood up alertly. What kind of nonsense was it to undress at the slightest disagreement?
"I can tell you're complaining that I haven't fulfilled my duties as a husband."
Huo Jincheng moved closer to Jian Yunong, trapping her between the wall and his arm. His hot breath hovered above her head, and Jian Yunong didn't know where to look, her whole body stiff with tension.
Huo Jincheng's hand caressed Jian Yunong's face, and he was surprised to find her skin as smooth as lychee flesh after peeling.
"If you have grievances, I can certainly satisfy you in certain aspects."
The details of that night were somewhat unclear, but Huo Jincheng still remembered that Jian Yunong felt delightful, as smooth as silk, slipping through his grasp after she had sweated.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her slender body trembling uncontrollably.
Tears even rolled out from the corners of her eyes.
In his life, Huo Jincheng had never encountered such a girl; she was terrified when facing him, reminding him that night was one where he had forced her.
"Why don't you go rest?"
Huo Jincheng said impatiently as he released Jian Yunong.
Jian Yunong slid down the wall to sit on the floor, as if all her strength had been drained away by their earlier contact.
"Do you still remember that you are pregnant?" Huo Jincheng couldn't help but scold her, "You are not allowed to go to places like bars anymore."
"I know," she replied dejectedly, using her hands and feet to get up from the ground and walking towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Huo Jincheng's anger flared up again; he had just told her to remember that she was pregnant, but Jian Yunong was already heading outside.
"Back to the dorm."
"Back to what dorm! Don't you see what time it is! I don't have the energy to take you."
Huo Jincheng pointed, "You can sleep in the bedroom on the first floor."
"I'm scared."
"Scared of what?" Huo Jincheng thought Jian Yunong would say she was afraid of ghosts or something. "I'm here."
Jian Yunong timidly raised her eyes, quickly glanced at him, and then quickly looked down as she took two steps towards the door. "I think I'll just go back to sleep."
Huo Jincheng suddenly realized, "Are you afraid of me?"
Jian Yunong silently acknowledged.
It's because you're here that I'm scared, okay!
Huo Jincheng quickly stepped forward, his long legs easily catching up with Jian Yunong, who was rushing outside, grabbing her back as if she were a little chick tucked under his arm.
Jian Yunong was thrown onto the bed in the guest room.
Huo Jincheng pointed at her, his tone somewhat gritted, "You better behave."
He never expected that there would come a day when he would be despised by a woman like this.
“Jian Yunong, I find you ugly, and you think you’re beautiful.”
“Do you think it’s beautiful? Do you think being forced by someone is beautiful?” Jian Yunong raised her pale face, her eyes red, and all the grievances she had been holding back finally erupted at that moment. “That night, you brought me home and poured me the drink. If you hadn’t lost control, how could a weak girl like me overpower you? I don’t think that memory is beautiful at all!”
She buried her face in the pillow, letting out a suppressed and painful sob.
That day she was kicked out of the Jian Family and lost her virginity overnight. Jian Yunong was a traditional and conservative girl who didn’t dare to make a big deal out of it.
She had endured until today, but she finally couldn’t hold on any longer.
Huo Jincheng waited for her cries to diminish before walking towards her.
However, Jian Yunong curled up in the corner of the bed as if she had lost control, tightly clutching the pillow in her hands. “Please, don’t come over.”
Huo Jincheng felt as if he had been punched in the chest.
She was still just a young girl.
A girl raised by the Huo Family, at her age only knowing which brand’s new bag looked good, which sports car was nice, and shouting about bankrupting someone if she faced even a little grievance.
Huo Jincheng turned to leave. Jian Yunong thought he wouldn’t come back, but he appeared again at her bedroom door.
The door was half open, and his shadow fell inside, faintly visible.
“I’m going out. If you need anything… call me.”
Huo Jincheng stood there, his hand raised as if intending to push the door open, but in the end, he chose to let it drop.
The sound of a car engine starting came from the courtyard, driving away from the villa, leaving behind a calm silence.
Jian Yunong, feeling completely relaxed, lay on the bed and wiped away her tears haphazardly. After crying, she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
The next day at noon, Jian Yunong returned to the dormitory with breakfast. Foolish Roommate smelled the aroma and actually got out of bed.
"Where did you go last night?"
Her roommate asked while drinking porridge, "Are you in a relationship?"
"I don't even have a boyfriend." Jian Yunong wanted to say that she was not interested in marriage, but then she noticed the red book tucked under the table and changed her mind. Having a husband doesn't mean having a boyfriend, especially since this husband was almost like having none at all.
"I don't believe it! You're so beautiful and have such a good personality; if I were a man, I'd love you!"
"Come on, I won't charge you for this breakfast!"
"No, to me, that's how it is!"
"You said the same thing about the lady serving food in the cafeteria last time."
Foolish Roommate felt a bit shy and leaned closer. "Are you free this afternoon? Let's go out for dinner; I'll take you somewhere nice."
"Do you have money?"
"Someone's treating."
When Jian Yunong arrived at the restaurant, she saw that her companion was two men and felt something was off.
"Are they your friends?"
"Mm." The roommate nodded vaguely.
As soon as they sat down, the other person asked, "You were introduced by your aunt, right?"
"Mm."
Jian Yunong secretly glanced at her roommate, realizing that this meal was a blind date? The roommate quietly whispered in her ear, "Anyway, you don't have a boyfriend."
After saying that, she winked at Jian Yunong, as if to say this was for her benefit.
However, Jian Yunong did not want to find a boyfriend.
"The real person looks a bit different from the photo."
The other person's words made Jian Yunong unhappy. Come on, in this day and age, even a real person's face can be fake; who still takes photos seriously?
The roommate was a bit cautious, "The photo was slightly edited."
The man put down the photo and turned his gaze to Jian Yunong, "Your friend?"
"Mm. My friend, she doesn't have a boyfriend! She works in the Public Relations Department."
"Public Relations Officer?"
The man exchanged glances with someone else and smiled mischievously.
"How much does she charge?"
The roommate thought they were asking about her salary, "About the same as mine."
"You guys are about the same price."
The men laughed even more strangely.
The roommate looked at Jian Yunong in confusion, indicating that she didn't understand what they were laughing about. Jian Yunong was internally screaming with a thousand curses.
"Let's go."
One man stood up, walked over to the roommate, and grabbed her hand.
"Where are we going? We haven't eaten yet!"
"We're just going next door to Seven Days for a meal."
"Seven Days? Isn't that a budget hotel?"
The roommate finally snapped back to reality and began to struggle, "I'm not going. I just came here for a blind date."
"Exactly! We're on a blind date! Love at first sight! If we don't go to a room first, how will we know your depth and my length?"
Foolish Roommate was almost swept into someone's arms, while another man came to drag Jian Yunong's hand, only for Jian Yunong to splash hot water all over him.
"Damn it, you're all ladies, why act so coy?"
The man was furious.
You're the lady; your whole family is made up of ladies!
Jian Yunong lifted the teapot from the table. Fortunately, she had just ordered a pot of hot tea, and it was still steaming. She poured it onto the face of the man who was dragging Foolish Roommate.
"Ah..."
The man released his grip, and the roommate almost immediately ran behind Jian Yunong, trembling all over.
"Run!"
Jian Yunong shouted, just as he lifted his foot, a sharp pain shot through his scalp, and then he was dragged back.
"You filthy bastard!"
The man swung his hand back and slapped Jian Yunong, leaving half of his face numb, the taste of iron rust spreading in his mouth.
"Jian Yunong!"
The roommate screamed and rushed over with a stool, aiming to smash it down on the man who was about to strike again.
*
Police Station.
"They are demanding a compensation of one hundred thousand! You are also suspected of assaulting and disturbing the peace, which endangers public safety. You will be detained for three days."
As soon as the police finished speaking, the roommate cried out, "This is unfair; they were the ones who tried to insult us first!"
