Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Nonsense... How could I possibly fancy you."

"Don’t say Lord..."

"Ahem, then how about me..."

"Shut up."

"Um..."

Hua Nuan and Huo Zun exchanged a few words, and after losing, Hua Nuan remained silent, clearly seeing the man was very tired.

She didn’t ask why he didn’t go accompany Isabella; now that he’s staying by her side, the lack of security is somehow filled.

She also worries like a child, wondering if she’ll be wandering again if Huo Zun leaves her.

Uh, the taste of wandering without family is indeed unpleasant.

...

Since Isabella and Millie stayed over, Huo Zun and Hua Nuan found excuses to leave in the evening and went to Gu Mochen’s house to mooch food and drink.

After all, they still had Little Cubao in the nursing phase, so Jian Anguo and Gu Mochen always prepared a lot of sumptuous food every day.

Huo Zun and Hua Nuan naturally came to freeload.

Jian Ran learned that Isabella came and couldn’t help but curiously inquire Hua Nuan about her interaction mode with the woman.

Hua Nuan divulged everything, which made Jian Ran chuckle lightly.

This is definitely a knife-free murder.

Infuriating indeed.

Uh, no way, even though the noble queen is strong, she isn’t necessarily Hua Nuan’s match.

While the women chatted about family affairs, after coming to the Gu Family, Huo Zun was used to being in the kitchen, assisting Gu Mochen.

Gu Mochen glanced at the experience-seeking Huo Zun, and said, "For cola chicken wings, first use a knife to score the wings, this makes it easier for the flavor to penetrate."

"Got it."

Huo Zun quickly got to work, while Gu Mochen pursed his lips and continued, "How was the battle today?"

"Mo Chen, you’re clearly taking pleasure in others’ misfortune."

"Yes, that’s my intention."

Huo Zun: "..."

Huo Zun internally felt disdain for the man, and with a bad mood, said, "Mo Chen... how do you usually solve these problems?"

"The wife is always right, unconditionally support the wife..."

Huo Zun: "..."

This level of awareness, truly high.

Huo Zun tugged at the corner of his mouth, once again being taken aback by Gu Mochen.

"Mochen, your son is acting up again, come quick and hold him..."

"Okay."

Gu Mochen expertly took off his gloves and tossed them to Huo Zun, saying, "You handle it..."

"Alright."

Huo Zun watched the man leave, tugging at the corner of his mouth; this demeanor, heh... truly remarkable.

...

After eating and drinking their fill at the Gu Family, Hua Nuan and Huo Zun strolled back to the villa.

Huo Zun bent over voluntarily in front of Hua Nuan, saying, "Come on, I’ll carry you back."

"Okay."

Hua Nuan’s eyes flickered, and seeing the broad back of the man, she didn’t put on any airs and directly jumped up.

Huo Zun smiled, noticing Hua Nuan’s small hands hooking around his neck, it was clear her strength began to recover, and a month’s medicine effect was gradually wearing off.

"Carrying me back like this, aren’t you afraid the queen will cause a stir?"

"Grandma is clear-minded, seeing me carry you back, she naturally knows your status and won’t dare to touch you."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Alright.

I overthought.

Actually, Huo Zun’s mind is what’s clear like a mirror; the man is truly the high-level backstage boss.

Hua Nuan inwardly felt disdain for the man, softly said, "Huo Zun, is this how you’re protecting me? Of course..."

"Uh..."

Not expressing it verbally, but feeling quite pleased inwardly, thinking this way, Hua Nuan also felt her mood was quite good.

Looking up at the stars and moon in the sky, she felt her mood was extraordinarily nice.

"The moon is beautiful tonight."

"Mm."

The shine of the stars poured over them, as if cloaking them in a layer of silver light. Huo Zun smiled, carrying Hua Nuan.

Even if it takes a lifetime, it seems he wouldn’t mind.

It’s so nice.

...

Hua Nuan fell asleep on Huo Zun’s back before they reached the Huo Family.

Huo Zun carefully carried her upstairs; during the whole time, the maids didn’t dare to speak loudly, fearing they’d wake up the lady.

Isabella stood at the door, watching the man’s careful actions; her eyes narrowed, with a dark profound light flashing, very intriguing.

...

Next day.

Stretching lazily awake, Hua Nuan found Huo Zun was no longer in the room, yawned, washed up, and directly went downstairs in her home wear.

Once downstairs, she saw Isabella elegantly sitting on the sofa, seemingly waiting for someone.

Hua Nuan narrowed her beautiful eyes, matching with the butler’s hinting gaze, and understood immediately.

Uh, turns out she was waiting for me.

Hua Nuan’s mouth curled up, giving a faint curve.

"Good morning."

"Madam, the lady is greeting you..."

"No need for you to look after me, all of you withdraw, I believe... Hua Nuan understands English, and speaks it well."

The butler and others showed embarrassment, Hua Nuan narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and pursed her lips.

"Withdraw."

"Yes, madam..."

There’s no need to veil intentions, since Isabella has pointed it out, Hua Nuan indeed didn’t need to hide anymore.

It’s not her usual style.

Isabella watching the butler and others obey Hua Nuan instead of her words, her eyes grew cold.

Once the butler and others left, Isabella finally spoke her true intention.

"Hua Nuan, tell me, what do you want... to leave Huo Zun..."

Hua Nuan curled her lips, uh, she was just waiting for this sentence.

"Someone more handsome, younger, richer than him..."

Isabella: "..."
