Huo Jincheng used to avoid desserts because Bai Ru disliked them.
"Isn't it nice?"
Jian Yunong noticed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth and thought he liked it too.
Huo Jincheng remained silent, simply taking a second bite.
Perhaps a breakup isn't so bad; the part that is lost will be filled by God with other things.
During this meal, Huo Jincheng's mood improved significantly.
"Why was my aunt suspended by you?"
Jian Yunong couldn't help but ask.
"I have other arrangements for her."
Huo Jincheng spoke briefly about work matters, and Jian Yunong could tell he didn't want to elaborate.
Suddenly, it started pouring rain.
"How are we going to get back in such heavy rain?" She still needed to return to the hotel to change clothes; otherwise, what would she wear to work tomorrow?
Compared to her distressed expression, Huo Jincheng remained calm and expressionless.
Jian Yunong silently envied him: The President must have a car to pick him up, so he wouldn't understand the struggles of those without cars. Taking the bus at this time would definitely be crowded.
In Nancheng, when it rains, taxi business booms.
Jian Yunong sighed quietly, wondering when the rain would stop and when he could get home.
Huo Jincheng's assistant had already driven the car to the hotel entrance. Linda got out from the passenger seat, holding an umbrella.
"Mr. Huo."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but lament how good it was to be a capitalist; rainy days were nothing to worry about.
Huo Jincheng got into the car. Jian Yunong remained standing under the eaves of the hotel revolving door, extending his small hand to catch the raindrops, his face full of worry.
"Linda, give me the umbrella."
Linda handed the umbrella to Huo Jincheng.
He opened the door and got out, holding the large umbrella as he walked over to Jian Yunong.
At that moment, Linda thought: He can't be planning to give the umbrella to this newcomer, can he?
But instead, Huo Jincheng pulled Jian Yunong under the umbrella, and the two of them returned to the car together.
"President, wipe yourself off."
Linda thoughtfully handed over a towel.
Huo Jincheng took it and immediately tossed it to Jian Yunong.
"Don't catch a cold."
These four simple words felt like a heavy blow in Linda's heart.
Huo Jincheng had always maintained a distance from his female subordinates. For many years, she had worked hard to hide her love for him and had never truly gotten close to him.
It was like sitting in the same car; she was always the one in the passenger seat while he sat in the back, using distance to signify their hierarchical relationship.
Jian Yunong, however, did not answer. She tossed her phone aside, still angry about what Huo Jincheng had just said.
When he walked up to her with an umbrella, Jian Yunong's heart raced even faster.
The first thing he said was, "Jian Yunong, do you have a brain?"
What had she done wrong?
If he was blaming her for not keeping up, that was really unfair!
"President, have you forgotten that we are in a secret marriage?"
If she were to ride with him, people would notice!
Upon hearing this, Huo Jincheng smirked coldly and replied, "I have a bad memory. Is your sister not planning to come back to work?"
His words were like a killer blow, and Jian Yunong obediently got into the car.
Jian Yunong took out a tissue from her bag to wipe her face and sulked in the back seat without saying a word.
Linda was also there; Huo Jincheng's assistant was present too. Even if they weren't there, Jian Yunong and Huo Jincheng had nothing to say to each other.
The car drove into the underground parking lot of Dynasty Hotel.
"Thank you, President."
Jian Yunong wanted to run as soon as she got off the car.
Huo Jincheng frowned; before he could say anything, her figure had already quickly disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
Jian Yunong didn't even want to wait for the elevator and ran straight up the stairs to take the staff staircase.
The office was empty, with only Jian Yunong's desk still holding the work tasks for tomorrow that she needed to organize.
At ten o'clock at night, Jian Yunong returned to the staff dormitory with heavy steps.
"Jian Yunong, you've been gone these past few days. Are you in a relationship?" Foolish Roommate was getting ready to go to work at the hotel and wouldn't be back until the next morning.
"Are you joking?"
Jian Yunong was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open.
"I think if you meet someone suitable, you should start dating early. After all, guys like our director are just a fantasy, right? You see how far you are from that actress."
"Alright, if you like Huo Jincheng, then go for it."
Jian Yunong turned over and fell asleep in a daze.
"Hey, hey, it sounds like you're saying our President is part of your family!" Before leaving, Foolish Roommate kindly covered Jian Yunong with a blanket and turned off the air conditioning.

Early the next morning, Huo Jincheng was awakened by a phone call.
"What’s going on? Why aren’t you two at home? Where did you go? And where did that girl run off to?"
Huo Mu was practically about to explode on the phone.
Huo Jincheng never expected that this mother would have time for another surprise visit.
“Mom, wait a moment. She’s with me. I’ll go wake her up.”
Upon hearing that her son was with his daughter-in-law, Huo Mu suddenly softened her tone, “Forget it. She’s pregnant, so let her sleep a little longer.”
“Okay.”
After hanging up the phone, Huo Jincheng immediately sprang out of bed, put on his jacket, and headed outside.
It was seven in the morning, and Linda was already in the office.
“President… good morning.”
Linda stuttered a bit; she had never seen Huo Jincheng like this before. Anxiously, she asked, “Is something wrong?”
As Huo Jincheng walked while tucking in his shirt, he pressed the elevator button and turned to ask, “Which direction is the employee dormitory?”
Linda was taken aback. “It’s in the northwest direction. After you get to the first floor, turn left. I can take you there.”
Even though the president's question was sudden, the extremely professional Linda still responded impeccably.
“No need.”
The elevator arrived, and Huo Jincheng had already composed himself as he stepped inside with a blank expression.
He was going to catch Jian Yunong; how could he allow a third person to be present?
It was still early when Huo Jincheng appeared at the staff dormitory, and there weren't many people around.
The staff dormitory of Dynasty Hotel had strict management, with daily hygiene checks, so the names of the employees were written under their corresponding room numbers. Huo Jincheng found Jian Yunong without any difficulty.
The doors of the rooms were not locked properly; Huo Jincheng simply pushed lightly, and the door opened.
Jian Yunong was sprawled out on the bed, arms and legs spread wide, sweating profusely in her sleep, completely unaware that her pajamas had rolled up to her belly. Her white panties were openly exposed.
Huo Jincheng awkwardly averted his gaze, landing on a suspicious red object on the floor.
He bent down to pick it up; it was a marriage certificate with marks from the corner of a table on it. He slightly lifted it, and then quickly snapped it shut.
"Ah... Chairman..."
Jian Yunong's roommate had just finished washing up and saw Huo Jincheng's grim expression as he held the red booklet. "Please don't misunderstand!"
Huo Jincheng furrowed his brows, his dark gaze falling on Jian Yunong, who was still blissfully unaware of the trouble she was in.
"That thing is fake!" Foolish Roommate thought he was angry because Jian Yunong, as a fan, had invaded his space. "Jian Yunong said she bought that thing on the street for nine yuan just for fun!"
For fun?
Very good!
Huo Jincheng laughed in anger and directly wrapped the sleeping Jian Yunong in a blanket and hoisted her over his shoulder.

When Jian Yunong woke up, she was already home.
She rubbed her eyes several times before realizing she was sleeping on the large bed in Huo Jincheng's private residence.
Looking at the clock, it was already ten-thirty.
Crazy, crazy, she was an hour late.
There went her perfect attendance for the month.
She hurriedly changed her clothes and rushed to the hotel.
"You're here so early? It's not even time to clock out yet?"
"Are you trying to avoid cleaning the office today?"
"If it weren't for lunch, Jian Yunong, would you even show up?"
Jian Yunong rushed into the office and ran into the general manager.
Everyone in the office started to crowd around her since Mist Shenshen wasn't there, and no one came to her defense.
Jian Yunong was scolded mercilessly.
By the time she went to have lunch, there was only a bowl of soup left.
That dog came over to bother her again.
"Don't mind it! It's already full!"
The Uncle in the Kitchen told Jian Yunong as he walked by.
But the puppy's innocent eyes kept circling around her, and Jian Yunong sighed, ultimately giving the bowl of soup to the puppy.
This time, the puppy gulped it all down.
Jian Yunong watched how long the dog drank the soup, and by the end, she felt even hungrier.
Suddenly, she remembered that Foolish Roommate would probably be cooking noodles in the dorm today.
Jian Yunong quickly slipped back to the staff dormitory, and her roommate was indeed eating noodles. She rushed over and grabbed a pair of chopsticks, taking a big bite.
Foolish Roommate glared at her. "What are you back for?"
"Why shouldn't I come back? I live here, okay?"
Her roommate pointed at her. "All your stuff has been cleared out! Who are you trying to fool? Didn't we agree to be each other's angels? Waaaah..."
Jian Yunong didn't have time to deal with her. She stood up and turned around in the dorm, discovering that all her belongings were indeed gone.
Even the pot of watermelon seeds she had planted on the balcony that had never sprouted was taken!
Who did this!
Jian Yunong was furious. It couldn't be a burglary that perfectly avoided taking anything from this idiot and only targeted her!
The idiot wiped nonexistent tears. "Hey! Where did you buy that marriage certificate? I want to get one too! I want to stick a photo of me and my idol husband on it! Maybe just like you, my husband will come down from heaven and take me away from the dorm!"
"Speak normally!" How could just taking a lazy nap make Jian Yunong feel like the whole world had turned upside down?
"Chairman, you appeared in the dorm this morning!"
Jian Yunong: "..."
The thing she least wanted to happen had come true.
No wonder she wondered how she woke up there in the morning; she clearly remembered returning to the dormitory before going to sleep.
Jian Yunong sat quietly for a while, only leaving when it was time to go.
Back in the office, the chairman's secretary, Linda, was also there.
"Jian Yunong, is this the report you prepared?"
"Yes, I finished it last night."
"There are mistakes all over this. Do you realize that? You misplaced a decimal point! Do you know how much this could affect the hotel's image if it gets sent out?"
