Since that incident, Ling Yunjue has not dared to go to Ye Zhaoyu, fearing that she would despise him.
Nian Mufeng had been searching for the Bai family mother and daughter.
This person is capable of precisely calculating how to drug himself; he's no ordinary person.
Nian Mufeng had been on many missions and had been drugged with aphrodisiacs several times. His body was resistant to such drugs, yet he still managed to fall for them.
All I can say is that these two came for me, and I have no idea what they're up to.
No matter what, we have to catch them first.
...
"Miss, Old Master Huo has sent someone to invite you to dinner tomorrow night. Would you like to go?" Uncle Ye knocked on the door of the study and asked Ye Zhaoyu.
“Go!” Ye Zhaoyu replied.
This is indeed difficult to push.
Uncle Ye went out to reply to the message and then went out to help purchase the things that Zhao Yu would need for dinner at the Huo family's house tomorrow.
Nothing else is needed, but a packet of snacks and some supplements for the elderly are necessary; it's just a matter of courtesy.
The next day, Ye Zhaoyu took the things that Uncle Ye had bought to the military compound.
"Grandpa Huo, it's been a long time." Ye Zhaoyu greeted Grandpa Huo.
"Xiaoyu, you're here! Come, sit down, sit next to Grandpa." When Grandpa Huo saw Ye Zhaoyu coming over, he immediately greeted her with a smile.
Today, the rest of the Huo family came over, and the whole family was very happy.
Old Master Huo's health was deteriorating day by day, and he would seize any opportunity to make his presence felt in front of Old Master Huo, hoping to get a larger share of the family fortune when he died.
“Okay, Grandpa Huo.” Ye Zhaoyu sat obediently next to Grandpa Huo and chatted with him.
"Xiaoyu, what have you been busy with lately? I haven't seen you come over for a visit." Aunt Huo asked with concern as she sat down beside her, holding her grandson.
"It's nothing, I'm just doing translation work at home to earn some money," Ye Zhaoyu explained.
"Oh, so have you planned to find another partner? It's always good for a woman to have a man to rely on," Aunt Huo brought up the topic.
“Xiaoyu, your second aunt is right. A woman still needs to find a man. It’s better to find someone familiar than someone new. Jian’an still likes you. He just couldn’t see his own heart before. Why don’t you give him another chance?” Old Master Huo advised.
"Grandpa Huo, no, my mom said that life only happens once, and if you miss it, you miss it. Moving forward will make life more exciting, so don't look back." Ye Zhaoyu firmly refused.
She barely exchanged more than 50 words with Huo Jianan, so how could she have any feelings for him?
“But what if there’s no road ahead? Look at you, you’re a good doctor, but you still can’t find a job,” Aunt Huo said jokingly.
“It’s alright, I don’t lack work, it’s just a matter of whether I’m willing to do it or not,” Ye Zhaoyu retorted with particular assertiveness.
"You're so arrogant, but why don't you ever work?" Huo Jian'an's cousin muttered. She seemed to be talking to herself, but everyone could hear her. When she saw everyone looking at her, she was embarrassed and said, "I was just saying it casually."
"Xiaoyu, don't be angry. Your third cousin-in-law just speaks without thinking. With your excellent medical skills, finding a job shouldn't be difficult for you," Aunt Huo said, trying to appease Ye Zhaoyu as she was about to get angry.
"Grandpa Huo, I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now!" Ye Zhaoyu immediately stood up to say goodbye.
The whole family came out to persuade her to remarry Huo Jian'an.
One person belittles the other, one praises the other, one flaunts their family background, and one plays the emotional card.
This is a plan to force her to remarry. If that doesn't work, they might even drug her to make it a fait accompli.
"Xiaoyu, you don't need to worry about them. They're just being silly. You're here to keep me company," Old Master Huo quickly called out to Ye Zhaoyu.
"Yeah, he's so immature. He's in his thirties or fifties, and he's even more immature than me, a 23-year-old junior." Ye Zhaoyu never lets herself get angry. If Old Master Huo has no shame, then so be it.
Old Master Huo was embarrassed after being humiliated.
"Dinner is ready, sir. Would you like to eat now?" the cook asked Mr. Huo.
"Xiaoyu, look, the food is ready. Eat before you go," said Grandpa Huo, leading the way to the dining room.
Ye Zhaoyu had no choice but to go along, not wanting to offend them too much.
After everyone was seated, the aunt brought a bowl of soup to Ye Zhaoyu. "Miss Ye, this is pigeon soup that the old chief specially ordered to be made for you. No one else has it, only you do."
All eyes were on the soup in front of Ye Zhaoyu; some were envious, while others smiled knowingly.
Ye Zhaoyu pushed the soup towards Grandpa Huo, "Grandpa Huo, such good stuff should be for you to drink. I am not worthy of it."
As soon as the soup was served, Ye Zhaoyu knew what was in it.
"Since Xiaoyu doesn't want to drink it, then forget it." Grandpa Huo didn't force her, put the soup aside, and started eating.
The Huo family is very disciplined; they do not speak while eating or sleeping.
"Xiaoyu, have a piece of braised pork." Aunt Huo put a piece of braised pork on her plate.
Grandpa Huo then put two more shrimp on her plate.
The ingredients are added separately, but when taken together, the effect is similar to that of an aphrodisiac.
The portions of braised pork and shrimp are limited; if you eat braised pork, you can't eat shrimp, because you can't eat all the meat by yourself.
Only Ye Zhaoyu had braised pork and shrimp in her bowl.
This was because she had refused the soup, so it wouldn't be right for her to refuse the meat as well; after all, she had to give him some face.
Ye Zhaoyu ate all the meat and shrimp without changing her expression, which relieved Old Master Huo.
If Huo Jianan didn't like Ye Zhaoyu, they could have divorced. But now that Huo Jianan has changed his mind, he still has to help him and bring this granddaughter-in-law back.
Ye Zhaoyu carefully observed everyone and noticed the expression on Old Master Huo's face.
Sure enough, you don't care about children who aren't your own.
Ye Zhaoyu felt a little pain in her heart, but she quickly let it go.
Ye Zhaoyu fainted while calculating the time it would take for the medicine to take effect.
"Jian'an, help Xiaoyu into your room. After tonight, she will be your wife." Old Master Huo waved his hand, signaling Huo Jian'an to act quickly.
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa." Huo Jian'an gave Old Master Huo a grateful look, then turned around and carried Ye Zhaoyu into the room. As soon as the door closed, the others said they were sleepy and wanted to rest as well.
Soon everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
There was no one in the living room.
As Huo Jianan carried Ye Zhaoyu into the room, she suddenly smelled a fragrance.
Oh shit.
Old Yin Bi.
The three medications are mixed together; without a man, she won't be able to take them.
Ye Zhaoyu felt dizzy. The medicine was taking effect quickly. She didn't dare to think about anything. She took out a small bottle from her bosom, poured out an antidote pill, and ate it.
Let's temporarily halt the effects of the medication.
Huo Jianan watched Ye Zhaoyu take the medicine quietly, and only after she finished did he say, "It's useless. This medicine can only be countered by sexual intercourse."
"I know." Ye Zhaoyu pulled Huo Jian'an down abruptly. "Aren't you a man?"
Huo Jianan's eyes lit up when he heard Ye Zhaoyu's words. The fragrance wafted into his nose, captivating him.
"I know you're poisoned. After I give you a bath, you'll know whether I'm a man or not." Huo Jian'an said, trying to get up, only to find his body limp and unable to stand.
"what do you……"
Before Huo Jianan could finish speaking, he fainted. Before he fainted, he was still thinking, "I didn't kiss him, so how did I get poisoned?"
