Huo Jincheng initially thought that Foggy had accidentally sent the wrong message. However, after receiving three similar messages in a row, he began to feel that something was off.
Each message was related to intimate matters, focusing on how men should treat women well and make them enjoy the experience.
Huo Jincheng sent a series of question marks to Mist Shenshen.
Mist Shenshen did not respond.
Huo Jincheng called Jian Yunong and heard the sound of car horns on her end. He asked where she was.
Jian Yunong honestly replied that she was having afternoon tea with her aunt.
Huo Jincheng's voice rose slightly, "What were you talking about?"
"Nothing... nothing much," Jian Yunong said, feeling guilty, her voice instinctively dropping. "Just some small talk between women."
"Is that so?" Huo Jincheng clearly did not believe her.
"Why are you asking this?" Jian Yunong countered, trying to take control of the situation.
"Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up. Come with me to a banquet tonight."
As soon as Jian Yunong heard about the banquet, she felt a wave of anxiety. "You can find someone else to go with you. Oh, my head suddenly feels a bit dizzy."
Jian Yunong's act of feigning illness was too obvious!
Huo Jincheng did not call her out on it; instead, he gently expressed concern, "Really? Then I won't go to the banquet and will come back to keep you company."
Jian Yunong immediately changed her tune, "It's fine, I'm okay now. I'm fine."
She was truly afraid he would come back.
Jian Yunong realized she was increasingly scared of Huo Jincheng in bed and when night fell. Both made her legs weak at the sight.
"Are you really okay? Don't force yourself." Huo Jincheng's voice was gentle to the point of being frightening.
"I'm fine." Jian Yunong realized that Huo Jincheng was deliberately threatening her, and she had no choice but to obediently provide her address.
An hour later, Jian Yunong was picked up at the entrance of a private club.
The driver escorted her inside and informed her that the young master was waiting for her.
As she walked through the corridor and turned into a lush bamboo grove, Jian Yunong felt a natural coolness enveloping her. She began to doubt whether she had taken a wrong turn since she hadn't seen the revolving door the driver mentioned. Standing still, she prepared to call Huo Jincheng when she heard the sound of high heels clicking behind her.
Jian Yunong had no signal on her phone, so it was a good opportunity to ask someone for help.
"Excuse me, may I ask..."
Jian Yunong's voice trailed off.
Bai Ru, dressed in a white lace fitted gown, looked beautiful and exquisite. She gazed at Jian Yunong with a puzzled expression, seemingly wondering why Jian Yunong had suddenly stopped speaking mid-sentence.
Jian Yunong suddenly realized that this person probably didn't recognize her. Their previous encounters had been brief; at those times, Bai Ru had regarded her as a mistress and hadn't bothered to look at her properly. Bai Ru had the capital to look down on all other women because she was indeed very beautiful.
Bai Ru glanced at her and then looked past her, quickening her pace as she walked by Jian Yunong, leaving behind a pleasant fragrance.
"I'm late."
"I'm early."
The response to Bai Ru came from a man's voice.
Jian Yunong found that voice familiar and instinctively turned to look. Bai Ru and the man disappeared behind the bamboo grove, making it impossible to see his features. All she could tell was that he was tall and that Bai Ru seemed to be holding onto his arm; they appeared very intimate.
Has she already found a boyfriend so quickly?
But then again, Huo Jincheng had married someone else; it was only normal for Bai Ru to have a boyfriend too. In fact, this was quite good—everyone was an adult now; who would waste their youth for someone else?
However, who exactly is Bai Ru's boyfriend?
Why does she feel so familiar, yet can't recall who it is.
Jian Yunong returned along the same path with confusion, and Huo Jincheng was already waiting for her at the door.
Huo Jincheng had an expression that seemed to say he knew she would get lost. He grabbed her hand and poked her forehead, "Did you forget your brain at home?"
"I didn't bring it," Jian Yunong replied irritably. How could this person be so touchy? It's really annoying.
Huo Jincheng tightened his hold around her waist, "Why are you unhappy again? Did I not feed you enough last night?"
Jian Yunong was momentarily speechless and decided not to say anything further.
The smile on Huo Jincheng's face grew wider; he had her completely under his thumb.
The banquet had a charity theme and was set to auction a series of antique treasures.
Jian Yunong didn't understand antiques; she only recognized Renminbi.
Huo Jincheng handed the bidding paddle to Jian Yunong, secretly squeezing her chubby palm and gently rubbing it, "Just raise the paddle if you see something you like."
But each item started at several thousand dollars, and the paddle in Jian Yunong's hand felt as heavy as ten thousand pounds; she simply couldn't lift it.
Meanwhile, Huo Jincheng was casually playing a mobile game, completely oblivious to her.
Unable to help herself, Jian Yunong poked him, "Aren't you worried I'll randomly raise the paddle and buy a bunch of things that will bankrupt you?"
Huo Jincheng looked up, his deep-set double eyelids seeming to draw one in, "Bankrupt?" His smile deepened, leaving Jian Yunong feeling inexplicably flustered. Then he suddenly kissed her on the cheek.
Jian Yunong was momentarily stunned as Huo Jincheng pulled her into his embrace.
"Daughter-in-law... why are you so cute..." Huo Jincheng buried his head in her neck, laughing non-stop.
Jian Yunong was puzzled; she didn't seem to have told a joke just now.
Huo Jincheng's breath was all over her neck, tickling her. Jian Yunong felt a bit uncomfortable, but with Huo Jincheng holding her so tightly, her attempts to secretly struggle were completely futile.
Fortunately, Huo Jincheng didn't laugh at her for long. He quickly sat up, a gentle smile on his face. "Raise the paddle."
On stage, they were auctioning a blue-and-white porcelain vase that looked like it had just rained. The starting price made Jian Yunong's hands go weak—five million.
Huo Jincheng whispered in her ear, "We originally had a more expensive one, but you broke it. I bought that to honor my father. You must win this item today."
So that vase was that expensive! Jian Yunong looked down at her hands, wishing she could chop them off.
In the end, Jian Yunong won the bid.
She successfully bid five million five hundred thousand.
For her, raising the paddle once was a life experience.
When Huo Jincheng held her hand, he realized the girl’s palms were sweaty.
"Not bad." Huo Jincheng lowered his voice. "You did well just now."
"Heh heh... Who can't raise a paddle? You're underestimating me." Jian Yunong pretended to be calm, but in reality, her hands and legs felt weak. She didn't want Huo Jincheng to notice that she was nervous, so she feigned interest in the upcoming auction. At least she needed to get through this moment before her legs stopped feeling weak.
The host then began auctioning a hairpin.
It looked quite nice, and Jian Yunong glanced at it a few more times but had no intention of raising the paddle.
Huo Jincheng played with her fingers. "If you like it, buy it."
Mr. Huo said it casually, as if what Jian Yunong liked was just an ordinary item, like picking out carrots and cabbages at the market. Jian Yunong twitched her lips and withdrew her gaze. "I'm just looking."
"What's wrong? Not pretty?"
"Looks good," Jian Yunong said, slightly pursing her lips, her voice dropping. "But the price looks even better."
Huo Jincheng took the bidding paddle and raised it.
"Don't!" Jian Yunong exclaimed in surprise.
Huo Jincheng shot her a glance, his peach blossom eyes filled with mischief. "Don't what? I bought a gift for Grandpa, so I should buy something for Grandma too, or else she might get upset."
"..." Jian Yunong glared at him. "I said don't let it go!"
Jian Yunong always believed that if Huo Jincheng wanted to buy something, he would definitely be able to get it. But suddenly, out of nowhere, someone shouted a bid that was double Huo Jincheng's offer.
The atmosphere in the room instantly changed.
Jian Yunong searched around for the wealthy bidder but couldn't find them. It seemed that the bidding paddle was not present.
Huo Jincheng smiled slightly; this method of bidding was quite interesting and carried a hint of provocation.
Huo Jincheng raised his paddle again and increased the bid.
The other person doubled their bid once more.
Jian Yunong watched as the price climbed higher and higher. "How about... we choose another one for Grandma? I think this might be a setup to trick us."
She had seen news stories like this before.
Professional bidders intentionally drive up prices to make a huge profit.
Huo Jincheng continued to raise his paddle.
Jian Yunong was left speechless.
The other party kept bidding, consistently pushing Huo Jincheng's price higher.
The host on stage was already red-eyed, eagerly waiting for Huo Jincheng and the mysterious person to engage in another bidding war.
But Huo Jincheng did not raise his paddle again.
Because Jian Yunong held his hand down, "Honey."
Huo Jincheng smiled back at her, "Then you can choose the gift for Grandma."
"Okay."
Jian Yunong planned to ask her aunt later what would be more appropriate to give.
Huo Jincheng took Jian Yunong and left early, running into Huo Liangchen at the door.
"Big Brother."
Huo Jincheng's expression was indifferent.
Huo Liangchen nodded slightly, then he got into a car by the roadside and left first.
Huo Jincheng squinted his eyes, looking particularly gloomy. Jian Yunong felt a strange sensation rising in her heart. The relationship between these two brothers seemed to be not very good.
"Huo Jincheng, are you and your brother full siblings?"
Huo Jincheng glanced at her, "Are you very interested in my brother?"
His tone was quite dark.
Jian Yunong sensed that he seemed to be angry, but this anger felt inexplicable, "I was just curious."
"No curiosity allowed." Huo Jincheng rubbed her face, "You can only be curious about me as a man."
"..." Jian Yunong couldn't help but swat his hand away, but Huo Jincheng let go directly, causing Jian Yunong to successfully hit herself instead.
The sound was quite crisp.
Huo Jincheng was taken aback for a moment and quickly rubbed Silly Daughter-in-Law's face, saying, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt."
Jian Yunong was on the verge of tears, "Let me try hitting you and see."
How could it not hurt?
Huo Jincheng suppressed his laughter while kissing Jian Yunong's nose, "I'll make you a big meal when we get home."
Jian Yunong's eyes were filled with tears, "That's not enough."
"Are you angry? Then what do you want to do?" Huo Jincheng coaxed her in a gentle voice.
Jian Yunong clenched the hem of his shirt with her small hands, "One big meal isn't enough; at least two."
Huo Jincheng's eyes were filled with amusement as he affectionately rubbed her cute little nose, "Okay."
At the door, Bai Ru had just stepped out and froze in place.
Jian Yunong noticed Bai Ru first and couldn't control her expression. Huo Jincheng turned around in confusion and saw Bai Ru standing there with a blank expression.
