Chapter 519: Chapter 482: Before the Finale of Jun and You—No Longer Missing You 2

But there was never a time Jian Liangtong’s messages went unanswered.

In the afternoon, Jian Liangtong nestled in the sofa for a while, feeling sleepy, closed the book and was about to get up to go upstairs to rest.

Just then, the sound of the door being unlocked from outside and opened came at just the right time.

Jian Liangtong was slightly startled, sitting up straight from the sofa and looking towards the door.

When she saw the person swaggering in from the doorway, Jian Liangtong’s brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

"This brother of mine, I really don’t know what to say about him. I’ve said many times that changing the door lock password doesn’t work for me, but he still changed it."

Huo Chengjin laughed indulgently, his long eyes raised with a single brow, exuding a unique charm.

Jian Liangtong rolled her eyes, shifted her gaze away from him, and said lightly, "I changed the password, not your brother."

Huo Chengjin’s smile froze slightly, then he approached without changing his expression, sat boldly on the vacant seat next to Jian Liangtong on the sofa, slightly angled his body towards her, and looked at her with mischievous eyes, "You changed it?"

"Yes." Jian Liangtong lowered her legs from the sofa, got up, and moved to sit on another sofa, opening her book again.

Huo Chengjin squinted his eyes and stared at her for a while, then smirked, "What are you reading?"

Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes fluttered. She looked up at Huo Chengjin, "Bored, just looking around."

Huo Chengjin raised his eyebrows, seemingly disinterested in the book Jian Liangtong was reading, and said, "My brother went to City C. As your brother’s little assistant, why didn’t you go with him?"

Little assistant?

Jian Liangtong pressed her lips, "I am your brother’s assistant, his manager, not a little assistant."

Huo Chengjin chuckled, "Do you really think my brother needs any assistant?"

Jian Liangtong gazed into Huo Chengjin’s eyes.

Indeed, her role as an assistant to Huo Shaojun is not indispensable.

In fact, over the past ten years, Guan Yu has taken care of Huo Shaojun just fine.

And ever since she became Huo Shaojun’s assistant, she’s caused quite a few troubles, adding nothing but inconvenience to him.

Although she learned a lot from it.

But many times, she felt that Huo Shaojun would probably be better off without a troublesome assistant like her.

So hearing Huo Chengjin’s question did raise a slight turmoil in Jian Liangtong’s heart.

"Actually, no matter what reason my brother has for insisting on having an assistant by his side, but for a big star like him, it must be tiring for you to follow him around all the time.

I happen to be in need of a secretary now, why not come work for me instead? The pay will be the same as my brother’s, and I guarantee it’ll be easier than following my brother around, how about it?" Huo Chengjin proposed.

Jian Liangtong frowned, "Did you come here today just to say this?"

"Saying this was just incidental." Huo Chengjin lazily leaned back on the sofa, squinting at Jian Liangtong, and said lazily, "I knew my brother went to City C, was worried you’d be lonely, so I came over specially to keep you company."

Worried she’d be lonely?

Jian Liangtong nearly rolled her eyes to death.

"I appreciate the kindness of the Second Young Master Huo. But I’m quite fine being alone, don’t need company." Jian Liangtong said, dragging her eyes down.

Huo Chengjin stared at her, pouting a bit, "Alright, actually I just missed you."

Jian Liangtong sighed, "Huo Chengjin, doing this is really meaningless."

Huo Chengjin tilted his head, smilingly asking, "Then what do you think would be meaningful?"

"..." Jian Liangtong twitched her lips, "Don’t you think your current behavior is childish?"

"Childish?"

Huo Chengjin sneered, "You’re twenty this year, and I’m twenty-five. Between us, you say I’m childish?"

"Yes, you’re childish!" Jian Liangtong said.

Huo Chengjin frowned, pouted his lips, and said, "Tell me, how am I childish?"

Jian Liangtong looked at him, "I don’t know what happened between you and your brother that makes you so eager to go against him. I also don’t know what you’ve both gone through to get to the point where you can’t stand each other.

I have no intention of finding out what happened in your past, nor will I foolishly try to reconcile you, but I hope you don’t drag me into your war with your brother."

Huo Chengjin gazed deeply at Jian Liangtong without saying a word.

From his facial expressions alone, nothing could be discerned.

"I am not a pawn for you to use against your brother."

Jian Liangtong paused and continued, "My feelings towards your brother are firm and unwavering by anyone. So if you want to use me to get back at your brother, it will be in vain."

Huo Chengjin still didn’t speak, just stared at Jian Liangtong, with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

Jian Liangtong waited for a while, seeing that he had no intention of speaking.

Sighing inwardly, she was about to get up and leave the living room.

"With everything said, you just refuse to believe that I sincerely like you and am entangled with you, not because of my brother." Huo Chengjin finally spoke, his voice deep and a bit self-mocking.

Jian Liangtong blinked and looked at him.

"I do like to go against Huo Shaojun, I can’t stand seeing him live comfortably, but I wouldn’t hypocritically say ’like’ to a woman I don’t like just to displease him."

Huo Chengjin pressed his lips tightly, staring deeply at Jian Liangtong, "My feelings of liking you aren’t as cheap as you think."

"..." Jian Liangtong’s spine tingled, and she averted her gaze, looking at him.

"Why won’t you just believe that I really like you?" Huo Chengjin asked her in a hoarse voice, his long eyes vaguely revealing pain that made Jian Liangtong’s heart constrict.

"I love you, no less than Huo Shaojun does!"

"..."

Ever since Huo Chengjin said that sentence, the atmosphere in the living room was shrouded in an inexplicable awkwardness.

Both remained silent.

Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip slightly and glanced at Huo Chengjin.

Somewhat regretting that she had initiated this topic.

Huo Chengjin stared at the half-exposed clean tooth between Jian Liangtong’s red lips, and the color in his eyes deepened.

His protruding Adam’s apple moved up and down, and his hands, casually placed on the sides of the sofa, clenched.

"I..."

Jian Liangtong was about to speak when the corner of her eye caught Huo Chengjin leaping towards her like a nimble leopard.

Jian Liangtong was so startled that she shrugged her shoulders high, trying to retreat but it was too late.

Her lips were touched by the man’s slightly cool lips.

Jian Liangtong’s pupils trembled as if they were about to split, panic reaching its peak, struggling to push him away, but a woman’s playful laughter suddenly echoed, "I really came at the right time today."

Huo Chengjin’s gaze tightened, and suddenly he pulled away from Jian Liangtong’s lips, his long, cool eyes casting towards the doorway.

Jian Liangtong covered her mouth, her eyes slightly reddening as she glared at Huo Chengjin.

"I was always curious why you, Chengjin, choose to come to Shao Yun’s villa when he’s not around. Now it seems the answer is self-explanatory."

Song Yun held her phone in one hand and a bag in the other, her arms crossed over her chest, smiling at Huo Chengjin and Jian Liangtong ambiguously.

Humiliation and indignation flickered in Jian Liangtong’s eyes as she looked at Song Yun, "What do you mean, Miss Song?"

Song Yun shrugged, still smiling, a smile that was infuriating, "Don’t worry, I’ll pretend I didn’t see what happened today, and I won’t tell Shao Yun or anyone else."

"Miss Song can tell whoever you want, no one’s stopping you," Jian Liangtong said.

"Does Miss Jian regard me, Song Yun, as someone? Do I seem like a two-faced person?"

"Since I promised Miss Jian not to tell anyone about today, I definitely won’t." Song Yun squinted slightly.

Jian Liangtong pressed her lips tight, staring at Song Yun, "I have no interest in knowing what kind of person Miss Song is. But don’t you think it’s inappropriate for Miss Song to enter someone else’s premises without permission?"

"Oh, so Miss Jian’s tone is so harsh because she’s upset I came in without knocking and disturbed you and..."

"Song Yun!"

Before Song Yun could finish, Huo Chengjin coldly shouted. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Song Yun’s grip on her phone tensed, looking at Huo Chengjin.

Huo Chengjin’s face was stretched taut with gloom, his gaze at her like sharp knives slicing at her.

Song Yun knew how formidable Huo Chengjin was.

If she provoked him, even though her grandfather was a head official, he would deal with her regardless.

She had heard earlier of the Huo Family’s Second Young Master’s ruthless methods, that those who offended him never met a good end.

Losing limbs was also common.

Song Yun’s heart was uneasy, blinking, she slowly lowered her crossed arms, daring not to meet his eyes, and said, "It seems I’m not welcome here, I’ll leave."

Song Yun turned to leave after speaking.

But Huo Chengjin said, "Leaving, are you? I’ll see you off!" His voice cold and severe.

Song Yun shivered fiercely, cold sweat sliding down her forehead.

Jian Liangtong was nearly three months pregnant, her once flat belly had a slight bulge. Fortunately, since it was winter and she wore more clothing, it wasn’t noticeable, but she could feel it herself.

Huo Shaojun’s new film had wrapped a few days ago, and the promotional tour for the new film was negotiated with Guan Yu, the director, and the producers, so Huo Shaojun did not attend.

Jian Liangtong’s morning sickness had suddenly become severe in recent days, and her appetite greatly diminished, her weight lost gained back in an instant.

And it was within these days that Jin Jiancheng had an accident.

Huo Shaojun, worried about Jian Liangtong’s health, kept it from her, not letting her know.

Until the sudden news of Jin Jiancheng’s passing came, and only then did Huo Shaojun tell Jian Liangtong.

Upon hearing the news, Jian Liangtong was so grief-stricken she nearly fainted, her emotions stirring to the point of loud sobbing.

Huo Shaojun felt heartache but was helpless.

Because of Jin Jiancheng’s death, a previously thin person lost even more weight.

Jian Liangtong insisted on staying at the hospital with Jin Jumo for a few days, and after attending the funeral, she couldn’t eat or sleep out of worry for Jin Jumo.

Left with no choice, Huo Shaojun sent Jian Liangtong back home.

He couldn’t do anything with her, but He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng always had ways, especially He Xinyun.

True to expectations.

In less than two days at home, Jian Liangtong began to eat, and her depression gradually improved.

Seeing this, Huo Shaojun couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief internally.

However, this situation reverted back to "before liberation" after Jian Liangtong visited Jinming Port City to see Jin Jumo.

This month was destined to be eventful.

After returning from Jinming Port City, Jian Liangtong stayed awake the entire night, and the next day lay in bed sleeping intermittently, waking up to start calling Jin Jumo.
