Assistant to My Contracted Husband

...

By the time Hua Ruyi, covered in blood and tears, crawled in front of Hua Nuan and Huo Zun, ten minutes had already passed. The woman was drenched in sweat, breathing heavily as if on the verge of death.

Hua Nuan glanced indifferently at the woman before her, then curled her lips.

"What... Tired?"

"Hua Nuan, are you satisfied now? You’ve succeeded in your revenge, killed my father, and brought me to ruin... Can you let me go?"

Hua Nuan’s lips curled further into a smile as she responded carelessly to the woman’s words.

"Revenge, tsk tsk tsk, Sister Ruyi, the way you put it, it seems like you were in on everything back then. Otherwise... why would you use the word ’revenge’?"

Hua Ruyi: "..."

Hua Ruyi’s expression changed slightly; she had misspoken.

Indeed, it shouldn’t be called revenge.

Hua Ruyi timidly looked towards Hua Han nearby, noticing the fleeting darkness in the man’s eyes, and felt even more anxious and nervous.

"I... I just... I didn’t know the truth. It was only yesterday that I found out. Before, I really didn’t know anything."

Hua Ruyi kept denying and shaking her head, while Hua Nuan’s smile grew even colder.

"Enough, stop pretending. You only need to fake it for Brother Hua Han, but Brother Hua Han is immune to these things now, so your act is pointless..."

Hua Han, hearing this, said indifferently: "Ruyi, in truth, what kind of person you are holds no significance for me."

All these years, whatever kind of person Hua Ruyi was, it didn’t matter to Hua Han, as he only had Hua Nuan in his heart, so he was wholly indifferent to everything about Hua Ruyi.

He simply wasn’t concerned.

Hua Ruyi’s face turned pale again upon hearing this.

Her heart was already shattered by his words.

The bleeding just wouldn’t stop.

Hua Nuan looked on, satisfied at the woman’s ghostly pale demeanor, and said, "Oh, you just asked if I was satisfied. Honestly, I’m not satisfied."

After speaking, Hua Nuan’s eyes turned cold as she stared directly at the woman, her voice turning harsh.

"I will never be satisfied. You took the person closest to me away, made me lose my father at the age of 12—I had nothing left. What can you offer to restore the time spent with my father?"

Hua Ruyi swallowed hard, a sense of immense panic rising within her at the woman’s indifferent demeanor, as if it were about to consume her whole.

After a long pause, Hua Ruyi murmured softly.

"These... These were all done by my dad, they have nothing to do with me. So, Hua Nuan, let me go, I’m innocent, I didn’t do any of it..."

"Heh..."

Upon hearing this, Hua Nuan’s lips curled upward, then she pulled a phone out from her pocket.

Huo Zun’s gaze landed on the woman’s phone, his face changing slightly.

It was his limited edition global model.

Which had always been in his pants pocket.

When did Hua Nuan manage to take it?

Huo Zun pondered for a moment; it must have been when they got out of the car when he reached out instinctively to catch her as she seemed about to fall.

Heh... mischievous little thing.

"Sister Ruyi, I have the contact information of all your former servants here. They know exactly what kind of person you are, how you advised Hua Dong back then. So, do you mean to have them come forward and confront you?"

"If that’s the case, I’ll make a call. But let’s agree, if you’re lying, I’m not planning to keep your legs, and I’ll have your arms dismantled too..."

Hua Nuan’s smile was bright and innocent, yet the words she spoke were chillingly cold.

She sent shivers down the spine.

Hua Nuan exuded a powerful aura that was not typical of an 18-year-old girl.

It was naturally formed. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Huo Zun glanced indifferently at his wife.

Impressive, getting something for nothing.

She made it sound so believable.

If he hadn’t known the phone was his.

He might have almost believed it.

Huo Zun watched Hua Nuan’s performance with a devilish smile, satisfied.

Hmm, not bad, she inherited from him, quite similar.

Probably that’s how couples start to resemble each other.

...

Hua Nuan’s gaze fell on the woman before her, her smile was radiant, but her heart was quietly mumbling.

Yeah, the phone was something she took from Huo Zun by opportunity.

Being held captive by Huo Zun, she didn’t actually have a phone.

This was the only plan she could think of.

Can’t blame herself.

"Sister Ruyi?"

Hua Ruyi: "..."

Hua Ruyi shivered involuntarily at the woman’s voice, her whole body trembling beyond control; then she weakly parted her lips and spoke hoarsely.

"I... I didn’t..."

"Well, then I’ll make the call."

After speaking, Hua Nuan pretended to unlock the phone, and the bodyguard behind her directly aimed a gun at Hua Ruyi, the black muzzle, and uniform action swift and fluid.

Hua Ruyi’s heart raced, terrified out of her wits.

Hua Nuan, on the other hand, was vexed about how to unlock the phone.

Shit!

Fingerprint password.

So annoying.

She didn’t have Huo Zun’s fingerprint and didn’t know the password either.

Good grief.

Couldn’t keep up the act.

Didn’t know if she could bluff the woman.

Hua Nuan squinted her beautiful eyes, continuing to act as if she was dialing a number while staying composed, as if it were really happening.

"No... no... don’t. Please don’t."

Seeing things seemingly becoming irreversible, Hua Ruyi quickly spoke up.

"I just, at the time, hated you too much, so I told my dad to send you to an auction."

Hua Nuan: "..."

"What else?"

Hua Nuan’s eyes turned cold upon the woman’s words, her voice growing colder.

Nearby, Huo Zun’s eyes similarly turned cold at Hua Ruyi’s words, almost devouring the woman before him.

Hua Ruyi inhaled deeply, unable to suppress the unease and panic in her heart, and spoke softly.

"I... there’s nothing else."

"Continue... or I’ll have someone fire."

"No, no, I’ll say... I’ll say... I wanted you to be used by everyone, Hua Nuan, you’ll never know how much I hated you."

Hua Nuan’s eyes widened.

Heh...

From childhood to now, she had no enmity with her, never even met her, so why should she hate her?

She couldn’t accept such an accusation on herself.

Hua Nuan raised her eyebrows, indicating she was willing to hear more.

Hua Ruyi’s eyes were full of malevolent hatred, almost consuming her entire being.

"It’s all because of you; you’re nothing but a wild girl, losing your mother so young, yet Brother Hua Han likes you so much... Growing up together like childhood sweethearts, everything’s for you... While I, clearly the eldest daughter of the Hua Family, can’t even show my face, have nothing."

Hua Nuan: "..."

"I am the rightful eldest daughter of the Hua Family, but Brother Hua Han only has eyes for you, a lowly girl without even manners."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Today, Hua Ruyi had bared all her inner thoughts.

So it was because she couldn’t reveal herself, and Hua Han grew up with her as childhood friends, she liked Hua Han, and then blamed it on her?

This was truly a white lotus act.

Clearly, she couldn’t show her face because Hua Dong wanted Hua Han to shield her from danger, meaning using Hua Han’s life in exchange for hers,

Now, she’s here whining like a white lotus about unfairness.

Heh...

Why?

Hua Nuan’s eyes grew increasingly colder.
