Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Inside the National Mansion:

As Hua Dong and Hua Ruyi were carried out, Hua Nuan sat in her seat, and the sumptuous dinner had long been removed from the table.

After all, with bloodstains, the dining atmosphere had vanished.

Hua Nuan sat quietly in her seat, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing this, Hong En quickly spoke up: "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, why don’t I host another banquet? Give me some time, and I’ll handle things here."

"No need... Little Nuannuan is a bit tired, I’ll take her back to rest first."

Huo Zun’s response was very calm, with an added sense of nonchalance.

Hong En, accustomed to the man’s aloof and indifferent charm, quickly replied ingratiatingly.

"Alright, then let’s meet next time, when Mrs. Huo is in a better mood. As for Hua Ruyi, thank you, Mrs. Huo. I will make sure to treat her well. When Mrs. Huo is interested again, we can continue..."

Hong En emphasized the words "treat well" heavily.

Anyone with eyes could see that Hua Nuan had a grudge against Hua Dong and his daughter.

It’s just a matter of time before the retribution comes.

So naturally, Hong En intended to please Hua Nuan by surely tormenting Hua Ruyi.

Huo Zun narrowed his blue eyes, observing Hua Nuan’s thoughtful demeanor, and pressed his lips together.

"Hmm."

...

Huo Zun noticed Hua Nuan’s pale face and took the initiative to sit in front of her, raising his eyes to look into her beautiful eyes and said.

"It’s getting late, let me take you back."

"Okay."

Hua Nuan forced a slight smile, and before she could regain her composure, she found herself being held by the man.

A princess carry...

No woman could escape this classic move.

Hua Nuan rested in Huo Zun’s arms, quietly listening to the sound of his heartbeat, and gently closed her beautiful eyes.

As Huo Zun carried Hua Nuan past Hua Han, he paused slightly, then continued directly.

Hua Han: "..."

Hua Han cast a deep glance at the woman in Huo Zun’s arms, his big hand clenched a little tighter, his demeanor growing colder.

...

Hua Nuan was placed in the back seat by Huo Zun, her gaze drifted out the window, still puzzled.

Why...

Hua Dong was dead.

Knowing the man had heart disease, she had always been attentive to his emotional changes.

If anything went wrong, according to her original plan, she was ready to provide timely treatment.

In short... she was almost ninety percent sure that she would uncover the truth today.

Who would have thought...

Sigh, all efforts wasted.

Although Hua Dong and his daughter were tormented, she was still far from discovering the truth she most wanted to know.

...

"What are you thinking about?"

The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded beside her ear, Hua Nuan forced a slight smile, then tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Thinking about the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... someone is deliberately hiding the truth..."

Huo Zun raised an eyebrow, not expecting Hua Nuan to speak so sharply.

"Of course, it’s just my speculation, not certain. It just seems too strange, too coincidental..."

Hua Nuan gave a faint smile, raised her hand to rub her brow, her head ached.

Watching her, Huo Zun glanced at her pale face, narrowed his blue eyes slightly.

"Hmm, I thought you might suspect me."

Huo Zun spoke calmly, then raised his hand to place it on her small hand, helping her massage her brow.
