Chapter 560: Chapter 509: Jun and Your Liangsheng Ending, Middle Part: Holding Her Heart 2

Jian Liangtong lifted her head after an unknown period, and on her clean little face, aside from the usual pallor, there was no trace of tears. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Except that Jin Jumo’s eyes still retained faint traces of red, proving her recent emotional breakdown, "Give me some time."

Jin Jumo gently closed her eyes, glancing at Jian Liangtong.

"You’ve mentioned before, whether to be with you or not, I need some time to think." Jian Liangtong said.

Rather than getting entangled with him in endless resentment.

Might as well go along with his wishes.

Maybe soon, he would find it boring and end this meaningless entanglement.

Jin Jumo’s throat moved, and the voice that came out was uncontrollably hoarse, "How long?"

Jian Liangtong stared into his turbulent cold eyes for a moment, "One day."

One day?

Surprise flashed in Jin Jumo’s eyes.

He thought she would say a month, or at least half a month.

Seeing his silence, Jian Liangtong lowered her gaze, "If a day is too long for you, half a day will do."

"..."

"Hao Hao, Mommy misses you so much, do you miss Mommy?"

At night.

Jian Liangtong lay on the bed, her eyes bright, staring at the ceiling, with her phone pressed to her ear.

"When are you coming back?" Hao Hao paused, using this question to gently answer Jian Liangtong’s question.

From birth until now, this was the first time Hao Hao had truly been separated from Jian Liangtong.

Not only did Jian Liangtong feel a sense of loss and was unaccustomed to it.

So was Hao Hao.

Jian Liangtong turned over, lying on her side, "Once your Aunt Jin is discharged, Mommy will come back to see you."

"See? Mom, are you planning to stay there?" Hao Hao astutely caught the "loophole" in Jian Liangtong’s words.

"..." Jian Liangtong was slightly silent, then said, "Mommy has some matters to take care of here, so we might need to be apart for a while."

Hao Hao said nothing more.

Jian Liangtong frowned and sat up from the bed, with a touch of seriousness on her little face, "Hao Hao?"

"Mm." Hao Hao responded, his voice a bit low.

Jian Liangtong’s heart tightened, "I’m sorry, baby."

"It’s okay as long as you’ll come back." Hao Hao said.

"..." Jian Liangtong felt increasingly uncomfortable, forcing herself to lift her eyelids to suppress the sting in her eyes, but her tone was light, "You silly, you are Mommy’s heart and soul. Even though I am in S City, how could Mommy bear not to come back? It’s just that I have matters to handle here, so I can’t come back that quickly. But even when Mommy is here, her heart is always with Hao Hao. You know, Mommy can’t be without you."

"Jian Xiaotong!"

Hao Hao suddenly called her seriously.

Jian Liangtong, with red eyes, was slightly startled.

"Are you being bullied?" Hao Hao asked.

"..." Jian Liangtong bit her lower lip gently, "No."

"No?"

"... Mm."

"Strange!"

"... Strange what?"

"Don’t you know? Whenever you speak sweetly to me like this, it’s because you’re upset or have been bullied outside. The normal you would find such words pretentious and cheesy."

"..." Jian Liangtong was at a loss for words.

"Jian Xiaotong, take good care of yourself, don’t get sick, don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine waiting for you at home. And... miss me more."

Jian Liangtong held the phone, her heart felt soft yet it ached.

Just as Jian Liangtong was about to speak after adjusting her emotions, a steady male voice came through the phone.

"Don’t worry, Hao Hao has me here."

It was Ruan Chen.

Jian Liangtong paused before speaking, "Ruan Chen, thank you."

"No need to be so polite with me." Ruan Chen chuckled softly.

Jian Liangtong sighed inwardly, not knowing what to say to him.

"How do you feel about going back?" Ruan Chen asked.

Jian Liangtong was slightly dazed.

Perhaps it was her illusion.

How did she hear a faint tension in Ruan Chen’s voice?

Blinking her eyes, Jian Liangtong softly said, "Mm, it’s okay."

There was a moment of silence on Ruan Chen’s end.

Jian Liangtong also said nothing.

"How is Momo?" Ruan Chen asked.

Hearing him mention Jin Jumo, Jian Liangtong’s eyes flickered with worry, "It’s quite serious. But now she’s out of danger. She should be discharged in about half a month."

"Half a month?" Ruan Chen’s voice deepened.

"..." Jian Liangtong’s eyelashes fluttered, lightly biting her lower lip, she said, "Mm, I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Hao Hao for this half month."

"You don’t need to worry about Hao Hao." Ruan Chen chuckled, his voice carrying some kind of implication, "Just half a month, will it be enough?"

Jian Liangtong naturally understood the underlying meaning in Ruan Chen’s words.

But she did not directly respond to Ruan Chen.

After a few more casual exchanges, they ended the call.

Knowing that Jin Jumo was injured and hospitalized, He Xinyun got busy in the kitchen early the next day, making chicken soup for Jin Jumo.

Jian Liangtong got up at eight o’clock, just tidied herself up and came out of her room, and He Xinyun handed her a box of chicken soup and two large buns, urging her to quickly take them to Jin Jumo. The two large buns were for Jian Liangtong to have as breakfast on her way to the hospital. Jian Liangtong, "..."

Coming out of the neighborhood, Jian Liangtong still had a large meat bun in her mouth. Perhaps a piece of meat had accidentally fallen onto her clothes, and she was bending down to clean it.

Once she finished cleaning, she took the large meat bun out of her mouth, and looked up to see the black car parked at the neighborhood entrance with its window rolling down.

Through the car window, the man’s lean yet stylish side profile suddenly caught her eye, causing Jian Liangtong to widen her eyes in fright, dropping the meat bun in her hand just like that.

It was as if she had been taken back to that night by a time machine.

Fear and despair poured over her coldly from head to toe.

Jian Liangtong’s face turned deathly pale in an instant, her whole body and heart wrapped in coldness.

The man seemed to have a superpower, appearing right in front of her in no time.

Jian Liangtong couldn’t stop herself from trembling all over, her throat seemed to be forcefully clenched, unable to breathe.

"It’s been years; don’t you recognize me?"

The man’s voice was cold, but his eyes, fixed on Jian Liangtong, burned with intense flames, "Do I need to reintroduce myself?"

"..." Jian Liangtong’s eyebrows quivered, deep in her bright eyes were waves of unresolvable trembling and fear.

With difficulty, she moved her lips, looking at him, her voice low and trembling, "Long time no see."

"Hmm."

The man stared at her, his voice hoarse, "I’ve been looking for you all this time."

Jian Liangtong’s breath was trembling.

She lightly hugged her icy arms, lowering her eyes in despondence, "I still have things to do, I..."

Her body was suddenly pulled into his embrace by the man’s strong arms.

"I’ve missed you," he said huskily, his voice hoarse with pain.

"Mr. Huo, you, don’t do this..."

Jian Liangtong’s long eyelashes trembled nonstop, her eyes filled with moist redness and endless fear, powerless to struggle in his firm embrace.

Huo Chengjin said nothing, closing his eyes but frowning tightly, lying in Jian Liangtong’s neck with affection, carefully and mesmerized by her scent, feeling her struggle with insignificant force in his embrace.

At least this way, he could confirm she was real, truly back, right in his arms!

But Jian Liangtong was very flustered, her breathing chaotic, and moisture condensed into tiny pearls on her long eyelashes.

"Holding you like this feels so good!"

In the lengthy silence, Huo Chengjin’s lips curled up in satisfaction, smiling like a child.

But at this moment, Jian Liangtong felt as though she were enduring a torture.

The memories of that night rampaged through her mind like a savage beast.

Huo Chengjin’s savage face, viciously stabbing a glass into a man’s belly, presented bloodily before her again.

Jian Liangtong was afraid of him!

More afraid of seeing him, which would reflect the humiliating memories into her mind.

He had been a witness to what those people did to her, that terrifying scene that was like a disaster for her.

Seeing him always reminded her of that night.

To Jian Liangtong, Huo Chengjin was like a bell constantly reminding her of the terrible stories from her past.

That’s why Jian Liangtong might maintain a semblance of calm before Huo Shaojun, but only before Huo Chengjin, she couldn’t!

She couldn’t do it!

Jian Liangtong bit down hard on her lower lip until the wound on her lip was broken again.

The last string in her mind snapped, "Bong!"

"Let me go, let me go..."

Jian Liangtong suddenly cried out in panic, her voice shrill, filled with intense panic and fear.

And that shout immediately attracted the attention of the nearby residents who were out for a walk.

Since He Xinyun was the neighborhood committee director, many residents knew Jian Liangtong.

Seeing Jian Liangtong seemingly "forcibly embraced" by a strange man, the neighborhood residents quickly gathered around.

Huo Chengjin hadn’t expected Jian Liangtong to react so strongly. He furrowed his brow and slightly loosened his grip to look down at her.

Just then, Jian Liangtong broke free from him, uncontrollably turned, and ran back into the neighborhood.

Huo Chengjin felt a tremor in his heart and immediately moved to catch up.

But no sooner had he taken a step forward than a group of older men and women, along with younger joggers, formed a solid barrier in front of him, effectively blocking his path.

Huo Chengjin’s eyebrows lowered sharply, his thin lips pressed tightly together, watching Jian Liangtong disappear into the building.

Faced with these "brave and just" people, he clenched his fists, unable to do anything.

Jian Liangtong returned home less than ten minutes after leaving, shutting herself in her room, which gave a fright to He Xinyun and Jian Ningfeng.

The couple anxiously watched over Jian Liangtong’s door, their hearts in their throats, confused and worried.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

He Xinyun slightly calmed herself before going to open the door.

Opening it, she found three neighbors she was close with.

From them, she learned about what Jian Liangtong had encountered when she left earlier.

The three neighbors left.

He Xinyun closed the door, her eyes solemnly looking at Jian Ningfeng.

At this moment,

He Xinyun hadn’t realized the person Jian Liangtong encountered in the neighborhood was Huo Chengjin; she thought it was Huo Shaojun.

Jian Ningfeng’s eyes were full of worry, his slightly slumped shoulders and slightly stooped posture made him look several years older suddenly.

It wasn’t until after four in the afternoon that Jian Liangtong came out of her room.
