Assistant to My Contracted Husband
Chapter 1894 - 408: Marriage Is the Most Important Thing to Me (Part 4)
"Little Nuannuan, I want to see your sincerity..."
Hua Nuan: "..."
Sincerity, my ass.
"I’m not made of iron, Huo Zun, what kind of international joke are you making?"
"Hmm?"
Huo Zun didn’t particularly like girls using swear words or calling themselves "little lord," but for some reason, he found it irresistibly endearing when Hua Nuan said it.
He just found the little girl incredibly cute.
"Could it be... that it’s too indulgent? I’m worried it might damage the kidneys..."
"Hmm, I consulted both Chen and Qin San... it’s normal."
Hua Nuan: "..."
Alright, then.
It seems like Jian Ran and Mu Wan have been quite diligent.
Just the thought of Huo Zun asking others about this made Hua Nuan blush, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"Why do you ask others about everything?"
"Learning is endless, and I want to avoid making mistakes. Marriage needs managing, but no matter how much theoretical knowledge I have, I’m still worried about practical issues."
Hua Nuan’s eyes were startled, looking at the man seriously and earnestly answering her question, feeling an indescribable emotion inside.
"Marriage is the most important thing for me, so I can’t allow even the tiniest problem."
The implication was naturally that he would ask about uncertain things from newlywed predecessors.
Men value appearances, but Huo Zun was more worried about making mistakes.
Hua Nuan thought carefully, and it seemed she wasn’t the type to get easily touched.
Now, maybe because they were married, her awareness was weaker. Hearing Huo Zun’s words, she felt an unspeakable emotion inside, curved her lips, and nodded seriously.
"Hmm."
As Hua Nuan nodded, the man swiftly covered her lips with his, almost too fast to be seen.
The man’s gaze was scorching, and his unrestrained desire seemed to consume her.
The tall body pressed down on her, being even more domineering.
Hua Nuan felt a bit dizzy, one hand being led by the man into a new world.
Soon, Hua Nuan felt drenched in sweat, and the places touched by the man’s thin lips felt like they were on fire.
Hua Nuan quickly got infected by the man’s passion.
Probably, this is what being partners in adversity means?
...
Afterwards:
Originally, Hua Nuan planned to ask the man about how sincere she had been, but she had no strength at all.
Feeling dizzy all over, she was directly carried by the man to the bathroom in the study, cleaned up, and then carried back to the bedroom.
Hua Nuan, feeling somewhat exhausted and powerless, watched Huo Zun about to leave, and directly raised her hand to grab Huo Zun’s arm, resting her head on it.
"Don’t go, sleep here for a while, you haven’t rested well for a day and a night."
"Hmm."
Huo Zun’s gaze fell on the little girl in front of him, and a faint, almost imperceptible smile tugged at his thin lips, he was indeed quite tired.
Especially, this kind of thing also consumed a lot of energy.
"Little Nuannuan, you did really well today."
"Hmm."
Hua Nuan soon drifted off, not hearing much of the man’s words, responding unconsciously.
Huo Zun chuckled silently, letting his large hand rest on the woman’s fair cheek, squinting his deep blue eyes.
Today he finally understood what it felt like to be protected by the little girl.
It had been years since he felt this protected.
Huo Zun squinted his blue eyes, then gently caressed the woman’s back, his thin lips curling up.
"Sleep."
"Hmm."
The two quietly shared the room, feeling an indescribable warmth. Huo Zun raised his lips slightly, slowly suppressing the anger in his heart, as well as his distaste for London and the Huo Family.
Beside Hua Nuan, he felt endless peace.
That was something that belonged solely to both of them...
...
Sated desires lead to indulgence.
Hua Nuan woke up groggily, noticing the sky had darkened outside. Her whole body felt as if her bones were falling apart, she looked at the man sleeping soundly next to her with a sense of grievance.
For crying out loud.
She had planned to celebrate the end of the college entrance exams with extreme sports, but now it seemed impossible.
Seeing the man finally asleep, Hua Nuan carefully got up, changed into a set of clean loungewear, and walked out of the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, as she stepped out of the bedroom, she saw the butler standing respectfully in front of the door.
"Ma’am..."
"Shh."
Seeing the butler about to speak, Hua Nuan made a shushing gesture, signaling him to follow her downstairs.
After reaching downstairs, Hua Nuan pursed her lips and asked, "What’s the matter?"
"The old lady just called, she wants to talk to you without alerting Mr. Huo. What do you think?"
Hua Nuan squinted her beautiful eyes, listening to the butler without a hint of surprise.
It was exactly Isabella’s style, as they say, ginger gets spicier as it ages.
To rejuvenate the Huo Family and support Huo Si, Huo Zun was undoubtedly the best choice.
Nowadays, Huo Zun’s influence in Europe alone was enough to surpass the Huo Family.
This, Isabella understood.
In short, her grandson, the future revitalizer of the family, was someone Isabella would certainly spare no effort to win over.
The only thing lacking was the right opportunity and method.
"Hmm, I understand, call her back now."
"Okay, ma’am."
"Hmm."
...
The butler used his phone to call Isabella. Hua Nuan took the phone, and before she could speak, Isabella already said, "Hua Nuan, let’s talk."
"Okay, madam, but I’ll decide the time. Since you don’t want Huo Zun to know you are looking for me, I can only meet you when he is busy with work."
Both being perceptive individuals, Isabella quite appreciated Hua Nuan’s wisdom.
"Alright."
Hua Nuan curled her lips, her phoenix eyes narrowing.
Though she respected the grandmother, if her own husband didn’t want to do something, just because the old lady approached her didn’t mean she would help.
To lend a hand after being slighted before, wouldn’t that make her a pushover?
