195 C195 A Bad Trick

Huo Liancheng alternated between English and French. At the same time, he talked to the people on the other side of the two computers. The noun he used was also a language Jian Yun was not familiar with.

Jian Yun did not dare to disturb him. She placed the cup of water on his wide desk and quietly turned to leave.

"Wait!"

Jian Yun had just walked to the door when she heard Huo Liancheng's voice from behind. He spoke English and French during the meeting, so this Mandarin was naturally spoken to her.

However, Jian Yun did not want to listen to him. Who knew what he wanted her to do later?

Jian Yun pretended not to hear him and quickly opened the door and walked out. Her footsteps were hurried as if there was a dog chasing after her.

"Little wild cat, stop right there!" Huo Liancheng was angry. Was he that scary? How could he let her avoid him like a snake or a scorpion?

Jian Yun covered her ears and ran into her room as fast as she could. She closed the door and locked it.

From today onwards, she decided not to be bewitched by Huo Liancheng. His face was too lethal. Then she would not look at him. She didn't want something like tonight to happen again. It was too scary.

Jian Yun could not help but think of the night at the clubhouse. He was angry and strangled her neck. She thought she was going to die. She felt fear and hatred towards him. How could she forget his terror in such a short time and even think that he looked pleasing to her eyes?

Fortunately, she came to her senses in time. It was not too late to start guarding against him now. Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, or whether he lied to her for the purpose of marrying her, she had to keep her heart safe so that she would not be hurt.

Jian Yun lay on the bed and always felt that her back was cold. Furthermore, she felt as if she was on her own. It was no ordinary danger, but she could not tell anyone.

Although Ouyang Beicheng knew about the matter of her and Huo Liancheng getting the certificate, Jian Yun did not dare to mention it to him. Given Ouyang Beicheng's temper, if he knew that Huo Liancheng had pinched her neck before, he would definitely rush over and fight without any explanation. Jian Yun was not afraid that Ouyang Beicheng could not defeat Huo Liancheng, but she felt that no matter what, she owed Huo Liancheng a favor. If she were to fall out with him, it would be too embarrassing.

So, it was better to bear with it.

Jian Yun helplessly sighed.

There was a knock on the door.

"Open the door!" Huo Liancheng's voice was low. He twisted the door handle but did not move it. His sword-like brows could not help but lock.

"I, I am asleep!" Jian Yun's nerves immediately tensed up. She would not open the door. Letting him in was equivalent to letting the alpha in.

"I have something to tell you!" Huo Liancheng could hear the nervousness in Jian Yun's voice. He slowed down his tone and said patiently.

"We can talk about it tomorrow. I'm so tired." Jian Yun only remembered Huo Liancheng's cold face at night. She really did not want to face him now.

There was silence outside the door. Jian Yun pricked up her ears but did not hear any sound. She thought Huo Liancheng had left and just heaved a sigh of relief when she heard him say, "Okay, you rest."

He was actually so easy to talk to? Jian Yun was shocked.

She quietly got off the bed and quietly walked to the door. She pressed her ear against the door. There were light footsteps far away. Then there was the sound of the door opening and closing. Huo Liancheng really left!

Jian Yun could not tell what she was feeling at this moment. She shook her head and did not want to think too much. She turned off the light and returned to the bed. She looked at the time. It was past nine o'clock. It was better to sleep.

At the same time, in the study room, Huo Liancheng was still having a video conference. However, he could not concentrate. He kept seeing Jian Yun when she came out of the washroom. Although his eyes were a little light, it did not prevent him from seeing the vague attractive curve under her white pajamas and the fact that

He also came back to his senses now. Jian Yun had said that she was a virgin, but it was a deliberate delaying tactic. Her goal was to make him feel disgusted and then let her go.

Huo Liancheng could not help smiling bitterly. Such a clumsy trick actually really let him fall into the trap. She really grasped his bottom line accurately!

"President Huo, are you listening?"

Huo Liancheng did not make a sound for a long time. The person at the end of the video waited for a long time and could not help but remind him.

"Yes, continue!" Huo Liancheng responded in French fluently. He pinched the space between his eyebrows, drank some water, and focused on the video conference.

The next morning, Huo Liancheng woke up at 6: 30 as usual. This was his biological clock for many years. No matter how tired he was, he would get up on time to exercise.

Huo Liancheng put on his clothes and opened the door. The first thing he saw was Jian Yun's bedroom door, which was ajar. He remembered that when he went to bed at 12: 30 last night, he passed by her door. The door was clearly locked. So she got up?

"Girl?" Huo Liancheng called a few times but no one answered. He pushed the door open and went in. He saw Jian Yun's bed was neatly arranged. The pajamas she was wearing last night were casually placed on the chair beside the bed. Her phone and bag were not there. It was obvious that she had gone out.

Huo Liancheng could not help frowning. It was only half past six now and it was just dawn. Why did she get up so early for?

Suddenly, his heart moved. Could it be that she deliberately avoided him and thus left early in the morning?

This thought made Huo Liancheng extremely uncomfortable. Was he that scary in her heart? It was just a temper, yet she didn't even want to see him again?

Huo Liancheng felt that he must have thought too much. Perhaps Jian Yun just went out to buy breakfast and would come back later.

However, Huo Liancheng waited until eight o'clock and did not see Jian Yun. Huo Liancheng was very angry. He could not help but dial her phone.

The phone rang four or five times before it was picked up. "Hello?"

"Where are you?" Huo Liancheng asked.

"I'm in the hospital. Mom is here." Jian Yun said while panting.

Huo Liancheng hung up the phone.

Jian Yun was dumbfounded. What was going on? Why did she feel that Uncle Huo was in a bad mood? Could it be that he had just woken up and was venting his anger?

Sigh, she did not care about him anymore. He was always acting weird. It was also because she did not want to face him that she specially woke up early in the morning. She went out before dawn and only arrived at the bus station after running a dozen or twenty miles. Then, she took the bus and took the subway. It took her less than an hour to reach the hospital. It took her more than two hours to get there.

Sigh, the Rich District was the Rich District. She didn't even go to taxis. Did she know that there were quite a few cars in the house over there? No one would take taxis?

Jian Yun felt that she still needed to buy a car to travel. Otherwise, she would not be able to take it every time she went out and relied on her legs.

As for Huo Liancheng's cars, she did not want to touch them. She felt that it was better to keep some distance from him. Although he said that she could use all his things and even the marriage contract said that once they divorced, they would give her half of their assets, but Jian Yun was not naive enough to believe these.
