Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Aunt Li saw that Huo Zun had made up his mind and knew that he had been somewhat affected. She patted his shoulder and said with pursed lips.

"Your son is quite handsome, in twenty years he’ll be another troublemaker."

"Mm, thank you, Aunt Li. Aunt Li, I’ll have to trouble you with Nuannuan again."

"No need for formalities among family..."

"Alright."

Everyone watched Huo Zun’s "pretending to be strong" demeanor and suddenly had a newfound respect for him. Not bad, actually if Huo Zun didn’t always boast or show off, he’d be quite a humble and charming guy.

Gu Mochen, Qin Mu, and Huo Zun have been close friends for many years, practically like brothers.

Noticing Huo Zun’s undisguised disappointment, Qin Mu tentatively said, "Well, Zun... you don’t have to choose the land anymore, I have four or five plots available, you can have them all."

Huo Zun: "..."

Not bad, quite generous indeed.

If Qin Mu gives him all those plots, it’s equivalent to giving him all of Dongheng International’s quarterly profits, which is quite valuable.

Huo Zun wasn’t shy either, he nodded directly and said, "Thanks."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Qin Mu: "..."

Qin Mu suddenly felt like he was throwing money away to no avail, although this comparison was extremely inappropriate, shouldn’t this rascal Huo Zun show some courtesy?

...

Since Qin Mu had already shown his hand, Huo Zun smiled mischievously and looked at Gu Mochen, waiting for him to respond...

"Mm, what about you, any contributions?"

Gu Mochen suddenly felt like Huo Zun was overstepping his bounds.

Hmm, could this be considered an opportunity to extort?

"Hmm?"

"Chen, you and Qin San extorted me a lot back in the day, is it payback time now? Jian Ran, Mu Wan... why don’t you educate your husband on his behavior, I’m already like this now."

I’m already like this now...

This sentence sounded so pitiful and pathetic.

Jian Ran, usually the tit-for-tat type, wouldn’t easily feel sorry for anyone, but now she couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for Huo Zun...

Mu Wan, with a naturally kind heart, nodded in agreement with Huo Zun.

She thought Huo Zun had a point.

"Mochen... make an effort."

Jian Ran nudged Gu Mochen’s arm, implying he should be a bit more proactive.

Gu Mochen tugged at the corner of his mouth, forcing a smile.

"Okay, I’ll contribute, what are you lacking lately?"

Truth be told, Huo Zun lacked nothing...

What could possibly be contributed?

However, for the sake of taking this opportunity, Huo Zun had to seize it; otherwise, he wouldn’t feel comfortable, being someone who can’t let things go, he had to reclaim all the grievances Qin Mu and Gu Mochen had once caused him.

Huo Zun squinted his brilliant blue eyes and then cunningly said, "Hmm, can’t think of anything good for now, just keep an open tab for me, consider it a blank check for me, is that alright?"

Gu Mochen: "..."

Is this man being shameless?

It’s clear that Huo Zun wants a commitment from him, and indeed it’s a blank check.

This is quite valuable indeed.

Gu Mochen squinted his dark eyes, a faint smile playing at his lips.

"Okay, you’re the boss now... you’re entitled."

"Thank you all for your sympathy. I’ve decided to take my wife and son to the Qin Family for a meal now... any issues with that?"

Huo Zun’s shameless words even made Hua Nuan a little embarrassed.

"Why go to the Qin family for a meal, can’t we go home and cook ourselves?"

"Old Master Qin is very charitable, we must let him show us some concern."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Alright.

Completely beaten by Huo Zun.

Hua Nuan was helpless.

Jian Ran and Mu Wan were also following Huo Zun with disdain.

Gu Mochen and Qin Mu squinted at Huo Zun’s little scheme, seeing right through it.

Unbelievable, Huo Zun has gone bad.

He knows how to put on a show, garner sympathy, and take the opportunity to make a tidy profit, remembering clearly how he was once extorted.

Vengeful...

...

Soon, the news of Hua Nuan being pregnant again spread worldwide.

Three years ago, when Huo Qing was one year old, Hua Nuan officially returned to work at the Huo Family, researching anti-cancer drugs. Within a year, she achieved remarkable results and developed effective anti-cancer drugs.

Simultaneously, Hua Nuan self-studied for a master’s and doctorate in medicine at the University of Cambridge.

Hua Nuan wowed everyone with her stellar research achievements and high academic credentials, proving her capabilities.

The socialites of Yuncheng City flocked to become charming women like Hua Nuan.
