Assistant to My Contracted Husband

I wonder what Huo Zun is doing downstairs right now.

And is Millie trying her hardest to seduce him while I’m not around?

Hua Nuan squinted her phoenix eyes, secretly wondering if she was overthinking it.

Sigh...

"Meow."

"Xiaobai, be good, don’t make any noise, let me be by myself for a while."

"Meow."

Xiaobai couldn’t help but get excited when he saw Huo Zun, his small body rubbing against Huo Zun’s legs repeatedly before reluctantly leaving.

Huo Zun faintly curled his lips, watching Hua Nuan sit quietly on the balcony, her gaze directed into the distance, unable to know what was on the woman’s mind, so he took the initiative to stride forward.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Huo Zun..."

Hua Nuan almost subconsciously and thoughtlessly responded, then suddenly turned around, looking at the man who had appeared in front of her with a startled expression.

"Why are you here?"

"Because I know you’re thinking about me."

Huo Zun answered lightly, directly moving forward to sit beside the woman.

Since both Hua Nuan and Huo Zun enjoy the view, the balconies in their villa are designed for a 180-degree view, and they even have a leather sofa for lounging while watching the scenery.

Huo Zun’s large hand settled on the woman’s waist, gently urging her to lay on his lap.

Hua Nuan: "..."

Resting her head on the man’s lap was surprisingly comfortable, but at this moment, Hua Nuan’s face was blushing starkly, as if it could bleed.

"I... was just speaking offhandedly, don’t take it seriously."

"Mm."

Understanding the woman’s personality, even if she really was thinking about him, it wasn’t related to romantic feelings, just pure thoughts.

In this regard, Huo Zun was confident.

After hearing the man’s calm, magnetic "mm," Hua Nuan’s heart was pounding. She wanted to explain herself, only to find that the more she tried, the weaker it sounded, so she could only bite her lip in frustration.

How could I be so stupid?

To admit liking him so directly, I hope Huo Zun won’t misunderstand.

"Don’t worry, I didn’t misunderstand."

The man seemed to know what Hua Nuan was thinking and spoke up directly.

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hua Nuan’s phoenix eyes flickered, and upon hearing the man’s words, her expression changed slightly, and she tightened her grip before finally speaking in a slightly annoyed tone.

"Don’t worry, whether you misunderstand or not, I don’t care."

"Haha..."

Seeing the cute look of her pouting, Huo Zun couldn’t hold back a smile, his mood evidently lifted.

Seeing Hua Nuan every day, for six years, had become a habit.

A habit hard to break.

...

Both remained silent, gazing at the distant mountains and sea, though beneath the surface there was an undercurrent.

Unable to contain her thoughts any longer, Hua Nuan took the initiative to speak: "Huo Zun, why don’t you marry Millie? Why insist on marrying me? If you married Millie, I heard she’s the only daughter in her family, and they’re quite influential, so if you married her, you could..."

Hua Nuan didn’t finish, but her meaning was crystal clear.

Huo Zun cast a calm glance at the girl in front of him, naturally catching the confusion in her eyes, and spoke quietly.

"Are you implying that you have nothing?"

"Mm, I have nothing. When I met you, as much as I hate to admit it, I was nothing but a commodity."

Facing one’s past honestly is to truly respect oneself.

Hua Nuan spoke truthfully.

Feeling a twinge of heartache for such an honest Hua Nuan, Huo Zun gazed at her gently and said.

"From now on, don’t say you have nothing. You have me, all that I am is yours."

Hua Nuan: "..." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Is this what you call a heartfelt declaration?

In TV dramas, this is how those domineering CEOs often declare their love.

Hua Nuan was momentarily stunned, then Huo Zun’s deep, magnetic voice echoed in her ears.

"My wedding is in the name of love, not tied to any interest. I won’t trade my marriage for anything..."

"Moreover, life is so long, I don’t want to waste the rest of mine; without you, it would be meaningless."

Hua Nuan’s eyes were again startled, uncertain of what to make of Huo Zun’s words.

In any case, each word from the man was etched deeply within her heart.

Hua Nuan pressed down the strange emotions in her heart, unable to find the words to speak for a long time.

Huo Zun, raising his lips affectionately, with his gaze landing on the little girl before him, said: "If you keep being so curious, I might think you’ve fallen for me..."
