Assistant to My Contracted Husband

"Mm."

Watching Hua Nuan, whose forced smile looked worse than crying, Huo Zun squinted his blue eyes and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"No..."

"Hmm, let’s eat together then..."

"Okay."

Hua Nuan curled her lips, her gaze drifted toward the old lady who had been watching her, and she pressed her cherry lips together.

"Madam, please join us for breakfast."

"Alright."

Isabella didn’t expect Hua Nuan to invite her, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Huo Zun standing next to Hua Nuan, reluctant to leave, she said irritably, "Zun, come and help me..."

"Okay."

Hua Nuan smirked at the old lady’s childish demeanor, then signaled Huo Zun to help the old lady walk towards the dining room.

...

During breakfast, Hua Nuan was distracted by the old lady’s words.

Indeed, she had merely relished being by Huo Zun’s side for six years.

Always treating the man like a family member...

Family, love, they don’t seem to be equivalent.

But Jian Ran said she had fallen in love with him.

So complicated.

Hua Nuan raised her hand to rub her forehead; Hua Kun only taught her theoretical knowledge but never taught her practical reasoning.

It seems that practice is completely contrary to theory.

Hua Nuan didn’t have much of an appetite, after taking a few bites of toast, she hurriedly put it down.

Huo Zun’s gaze fell on the woman’s small actions, his blue eyes narrowed.

In his memory, he had never seen such a defeated woman.

What on earth was going on with Hua Nuan?

Isabella met Huo Zun’s probing eyes, shrugged her shoulders, indicating it had nothing to do with her; it was purely Hua Nuan’s issue.

Huo Zun’s inner confusion deepened...

...

In the morning, concerned about her appearance, Millie rushed to the hospital, and upon returning, she kept fluttering around Hua Nuan, becoming an eyesore.

After lunch, during the rare lunch break, Hua Nuan lounged on the balcony with Xiaobai, basking in the sun, while Millie took the opportunity to stick to Huo Zun.

She was like a piece of sticky candy.

Hua Nuan turned a blind eye.

Now, her mind was a mess; she really didn’t have the energy to think too much.

Isabella, meanwhile, sat beside her, supporting herself with a cane.

"Ma’am."

Hua Nuan’s eyes flickered, quickly sitting up straight, while Xiaobai obediently smoothed its fur on her lap.

Meow.

If anyone dared to harm her mistress, as a cat, she would never let them go.

"Hmm, what are you thinking?"

Playing dumb.

Hua Nuan met the woman’s eyes, tugging at her lips.

"I’m sorry, during the morning negotiation, I underestimated myself. To be precise, I think you won, because I wavered."

Isabella curled her lips in satisfaction, speaking factually.

"Hua Nuan, it seems I’m growing more fond of you. Your small appearance is so charming, no wonder Huo Zun is so captivated by you. So tell me, are you going to continue choosing to marry Huo Zun?"

Hua Nuan smiled and replied, "It’s my honor. As for that question, I’m still considering it and haven’t come to a definitive answer yet. Once I figure it out, I’ll let you know... And your stance, would you let Huo Zun marry the woman he wants or marry for alliance?"

The young girl, although deeply troubled, did not forget to ask about her stance. Isabella reached out to stroke Xiaobai in Hua Nuan’s arms and then murmured.

"Naturally, to respect Huo Zun’s decision."

"Alright, thank you."

Hua Nuan smiled upon hearing Isabella’s words, a heavy breath of relief escaped her heart.

It didn’t feel too bad...

Now it seemed, she was the only one left tangled in confusion.

...

Meanwhile:

Cambodia:

In a dark room, Hua Ruyi trembled all over, curling up in a corner.

In the luxurious room, the bandages wrapped around the woman’s legs were particularly eye-catching. Not only that, her body was covered in whip marks, startling to look at, with blood continuing to seep from them.

So terrifying.

Hong En was simply a beast.

He found pleasure in playing with women.

Not only that, but he also liked to whip them intensely in bed.

After Huo Zun and Hua Nuan left, that very night she was taken to bed and directly violated by the man.

Because it wasn’t her first time, it further angered him.

Hua Ruyi, who grew up overseas where things were more open-minded, and since Hua Han had never given her a kind face over the years, she also enjoyed mingling in the pleasures of life.

So it wasn’t surprising that she wasn’t a virgin.

She had planned to pretend it was her first time when she eventually married Hua Han.
