Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1804 - 1802: Women Are the Real Bosses (2)

Hua Dong’s back was drenched in cold sweat; he had just taken medication for his heart condition, but he felt as though his heart couldn’t hold on much longer.

Hua Dong cautiously spoke: "Nuannuan, as you said, Uncle, Uncle, my heart is feeling a bit uncomfortable, so I... I want to head back first. Whatever it is, let’s discuss it later, shall we?"

"No... Uncle, if your heart is uncomfortable, there are plenty of renowned doctors here with General Hong who can treat you well. If you leave and die halfway home, what would we do? And weren’t we just talking about Sister Ruyi and General Hong’s marriage—about her being a concubine? We were having such a good talk. Why leave now?"

Hua Nuan’s eyes were full of icy indifference, chilling to the bone, sending shivers down one’s spine.

Once again, Hua Dong was intimidated by the woman’s powerful aura, pressing his lips together, hesitated for a long while, then hoarsely spoke.

"Nuannuan..."

Hua Nuan’s personality is indeed one of retaliation.

With her nature now, she’s likely intending to push me to a complete breakdown.

Hua Dong felt a shiver and trembled uncontrollably at the woman’s intimidation, his mind went blank, trying hard to think, but no solutions came to him.

After a long time, Hua Dong simply got up directly, then knelt before Hua Nuan, as if making a desperate last stand, with no options left.

"Nuannuan, it’s all my fault... I know you must’ve heard rumors thinking that it was me who caused Akun’s incident back in the day..."

Hua Nuan squinted her phoenix-like eyes, heh, Hua Dong’s shamelessness was within her expectations.

Unexpectedly, even now, the man is still resolute in not acknowledging it.

"I’m extremely guilty over Akun’s incident... These years, Uncle hasn’t felt good either, but Akun is Uncle’s biological brother; Uncle wouldn’t harm his own brother."

Hua Nuan pursed her cherry lips tightly, directly retorting.

"Is that so? Then Uncle, what’s the reason for you kneeling? Could it be the guilty conscience of a thief?"

"To tell you the truth, back when Akun’s incident happened, it was done by my enemies who framed me, so it looked like my doing. So although it wasn’t me, my heart has been restless for years. There were so many times I missed Akun so much that I thought of taking my own life to join him."

Hua Nuan: "..."

I understand now.

Hua Nuan’s lips curled into a slight smile, the man’s meaning was clear: it was the enemy’s doing, framing him.

Mmm, it had nothing to do with him.

In other words, he’s not taking the blame.

Hua Nuan pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes became increasingly penetrating, radiating chilling menace, captivating and grim.

"Mmm."

The single sound "Mmm" revealed nothing of the woman’s true emotions within.

Hua Dong was also silently contemplating the woman’s thoughts and intentions.

At this moment, Hua Ruyi was completely petrified by fear, wanting to escape, but the place was heavily guarded, leaving no way out.

Hua Dong’s forehead was soaked with cold sweat, he hurriedly stammered as he continued to speak: "For years, I never told you, fearing you’d blame Uncle and cut ties forever. Uncle, very fond and cherishes you like his own daughter, doesn’t want to see that day come, no matter the cost."

Upon hearing this, Hua Nuan’s sarcastic smile lifted a little more, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve fired a gun, and I’ve never tried using a living person as a target before. General Hong, you wouldn’t mind your future concubine being my target, would you?"

Hua Nuan suddenly addressed Hong En, who was initially stunned, then immediately reacted with a forced laugh: "Of course, of course, Mrs. Huo is too kind... Come now, not long ago I acquired a fine piece, very suited to Mrs. Huo’s demeanor."
