Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1814 - 389: I Treated You Like a Brother

Inside the National Mansion:

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

After all, tainted with blood, there was no atmosphere for eating anymore.

Hua Nuan sat quietly, seemingly pondering something.

Hong En hurriedly spoke, "Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, how about I host another banquet? Give me some time, I will handle the scene."

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

Huo Zun’s reaction was quite indifferent, adding a touch of nonchalance.

Hong En was already used to the man’s high and mighty, aloof charm, and hurriedly flattered him.

"Alright, let’s arrange next time, when Mrs. Huo feels better, as for Hua Ruyi, thank you Mrs. Huo, I will definitely entertain her well, and when Mrs. Huo is interested, we can continue..."

The word ’entertain’ was emphasized particularly heavily by Hong En.

It was clear to everyone that Hua Nuan and Hua Dong, father and daughter, held a grudge.

It’s not that revenge isn’t coming, it’s just that the time hasn’t come yet.

So naturally, Hong En was trying to show favor in front of Hua Nuan, and was sure to torment Hua Ruyi well.

Huo Zun squinted his blue eyes, looking at Hua Nuan’s thoughtful appearance, pursed his lips and said.

"Hmm."

...

Huo Zun saw Hua Nuan looking a bit pale, sitting proactively in front of the woman, raised his gaze to her beautiful eyes, and said.

"It’s getting late, I’ll take you back first."

"Okay."

Hua Nuan managed to squeeze out a smile, not fully recovered, her whole being held in the man’s arms.

The princess carry...

A trick no woman can escape.

Hua Nuan was held entirely in Huo Zun’s arms, quietly listening to the man’s heartbeat, gently closing her beautiful eyes.

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

Hua Han: "..."

Hua Han deeply glanced at the woman in Huo Zun’s arms, tightened his grip slightly, his whole being becoming even more cold.

...

Hua Nuan was placed in the back seat by Huo Zun, her gaze turned toward the window, still somewhat puzzled.

Why...

Hua Dong has died.

Knowing the man has heart disease, she always paid close attention to his emotional changes.

If something was wrong, according to her original plan, she would treat it promptly.

Anyway... she was almost ninety percent sure she would find out the truth today.

Unexpectedly...

Alas, all efforts in vain.

Though she tormented Hua Dong, father and daughter, she was still far from the truth she most wanted to know.

...

"What are you thinking about?"

The man’s deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, Hua Nuan squeezed out a smile, and then tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Thinking about the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... Someone deliberately concealing the truth..."

Huo Zun raised his eyebrows, not expecting Hua Nuan’s sharp words.

"Of course, I’m merely speculating, not certain, just feel it’s too strange, too coincidental..."

Hua Nuan responded with a faint smile, raised her hand to rub her brow, her head aching.

Huo Zun watched the woman’s actions, glanced at her pale face, squinted his blue eyes.

"Hmm, I thought you might suspect me."

Huo Zun spoke lightly, then raised his hand to gently cover the woman’s small hand, helping her rub her brow.

In fact, over the years, Hua Nuan herself has been too tense.

After all, she’s only eighteen, the incident happened when she was just twelve.

Hua Nuan is still a child...

Hua Nuan listened to Huo Zun’s words, couldn’t help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Suspect Huo Zun?

How is that possible...

The warmth from the man’s palm on the back of her hand was very comfortable, such touch made her feel like she was completely immersed in the warm harbor of the man.

Hua Nuan took a deep breath and then held the man’s large hand.

"Yes, of course, I would suspect you, if Hua Dong died unexpectedly, then the beneficiary seems to be you, and perhaps, this is a trap you set, maybe all of this wasn’t Hua Dong’s doing, it was you, you perfectly framed him, clearing your relationship, persuading me, so I’d obediently marry you."

Hua Nuan raised the corners of her lips, sneaking a glance at the man’s handsome expression, then spoke on her own.

Seeing the man successfully angered, Hua Nuan understood the man probably truly believed what she said.

Just like a foolish son of the landlord.

Disdain.

Where did the usual cleverness go?

Already in this situation, how could she possibly suspect him?

Huo Zun indeed hadn’t noticed the slyness in the woman’s beautiful eyes, his whole aura quickly cooled into ice because of her words, his large hand tightly clutching her slender wrist in his palm.
