Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Anyone who dares to provoke Hua Nuan or questions a woman won’t have it easy.

"Yes, Grandma, I understand."

Isabella, having seen much of the world, spoke words that seemed to be for Huo Zun’s good, but in reality, she was reminding him of the stakes involved.

In short, everything flowed smoothly, leaving no trace behind.

Hua Nuan squinted her eyes slightly, roughly able to discern the stakes involved too.

Plenty of drama in wealthy families...

Millie, indeed not very sharp, heard Isabella’s words and thought Isabella was supporting her, instantly changing her expression to one of flattery, saying: "Thank you, Grandma, please protect me, I’m so scared..."

"Alright, alright, don’t worry."

Isabella raised her hand and patted Millie’s shoulder, signaling her to relax, but her gaze fell on Hua Nuan, who was on the sofa still munching on durian, squinting slightly.

This woman is more capable than I imagined.

She seems more like a big boss, killing invisibly.

...

With the wedding only three days away, Huo Zun didn’t want any more trouble. Now that Isabella was here, he couldn’t send her back, so he had no choice but to let her stay in Cologne City.

Isabella, being Huo Zun’s grandmother, was naturally staying at the Huo Family home, while Millie, using Isabella’s status, shamelessly insisted on staying at the Huo Family home as well.

Hua Nuan didn’t actually object, although she didn’t much like the looks on their faces.

But essentially, there was no conflict of interests.

So... if people don’t bother me, I don’t bother them. If they do, then... sorry, I’ll make things chaotic for them, cause panic and chaos.

...

Hua Nuan initially planned to take Xiaobai diving, but now that diving was off the table, she could only hold Xiaobai as she headed towards the second floor, not forgetting to greet Isabella before leaving.

"Sorry, I don’t understand English, so I’ll head upstairs first."

After saying that, Hua Nuan gave a radiant smile while Huo Zun tugged at the corner of his lips.

The woman’s English is clearly very good.

This move was obviously intentional.

Huo Zun looked at Isabella and Millie, who clearly didn’t understand the meaning, and calmly said: "Butler, translate."

"Yes, sir, madam, what the lady means is that she doesn’t understand Chinese, and she can’t speak English, so staying here would make you feel uncomfortable, so she went upstairs. She welcomes you warmly and likes you very much..."

Isabella squinted slightly, clearly very skeptical of what the butler said.

Huo Zun then added: "He explained quite well."

Indeed, the butler performed very well.

He knew how to avoid the stakes involved, say pleasant words lightly while watching the old madam amused enough to feel good, making Huo Zun relax.

Both women, honestly, hoped for zero conflict themselves.

"Butler, arrange for Grandma to stay here. Grandma, I’ll go upstairs to handle some business."

"Yes, go ahead."

Ever since Hua Nuan went upstairs, Huo Zun’s gaze never left her.

Although Isabella didn’t say anything, deep down, she clearly saw it.

The little enchantress, she’s already captivating Huo Zun’s soul.

Hum...

Millie watched anxiously, unable to help but lean in close to Isabella’s ear, whispering: "Grandma, you’re just letting him go upstairs like that, he clearly..."

"No need to say any more. As a woman, occasionally playing dumb isn’t harmful to oneself, understand?"

Experience is the best teacher.

Although clear-headed inside, she had no plan to make it clear. After all, leaving room is beneficial to both parties.

Millie looked at Isabella, clearly determined in her stance, and secretly bit her lip, then had to give up.

"Thank you, Grandma, I understand."

"Hm."

Isabella’s sight fell on the embarrassed Millie in front of her, squinting slightly.

Millie’s only presentable asset is her prominent family background; as for everything else, the socialite lady wasn’t worth a damn.

Actually, while Hua Nuan’s family background wasn’t great, her maturity far surpassed her age.

If she weren’t to marry Huo Zun, perhaps I’d really like her.

But the Huo Family’s choice of wife, to ensure the future stability of the Huo Family’s position, couldn’t be sloppy in the least.

No choice...

...

After entering the room with Xiaobai, Hua Nuan put Xiaobai on the ground.

Xiaobai gleefully ran around, occasionally playing with the bedsheets, pawing at them, incredibly cute.

Hua Nuan curled her lips, idly sitting on the balcony watching the scenery outside, feeling quite dispirited...
