"Hua Nuan, you’re going too far with your words."

Isabella looked anxiously at Huo Si, who was being verbally attacked by Hua Nuan, and couldn’t help but speak up to defend Huo Si, but Huo Si raised his hand to block her behind him.

"Alright, I agree with you."

kilometers away.

Hua Nuan’s demand is quite high.

"Yes, it’s settled. Madam, today you can happily be a witness. If it’s something you don’t want to do, then it’s fine; there are cameras in this villa, so this promise and bet are set."

With a slight smile, Hua Nuan was quite satisfied.

"Huo Zun, let’s go."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun glanced indifferently at the two people in front of him, his expression was cold, radiating detachment.

Isabella looked at Huo Zun’s eyes towards her, feeling unfamiliar, and it made her uncomfortable.

Don’t know when it turned out this way.

"Zun..."

The butler directly stood in front of Isabella, preventing her from speaking.

"Madam, I am the butler here. If you need anything, you can directly speak to me, and I’ll provide convenience for you."

Isabella: "..."

Isabella’s face had a hint of grimness, she watched Huo Zun’s departing figure with resentment, recalling the words Hua Nuan said in the café.

If you continue like this, you will lose Huo Zun.

Isabella pressed her lips, thinking... have I really lost this child now?

Everything I did was for the Huo Family.

Even though the Huo Family once wronged him and Yang Ruo.

But he is a descendant of the Huo Family, so he should devote himself to the Huo Family wholeheartedly.

...

Back in the room.

The sunshine was bright and warm, Hua Nuan lay lazily on the chaise lounge, squinting her eyes pretending to sleep. Xiaobai agilely leaped into Hua Nuan’s arms, snuggling closer to her.

"Meow."

Hua Nuan hugged Xiaobai tightly, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Xiaobai, you’ve gained weight."

"Meow."

Huo Family’s meals are truly good, I don’t want it this way either. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Huo Zun watched the harmonious scene between human and cat, his thin lips pressed together, then he moved forward to embrace the woman, allowing her to comfortably rest on his lap.

The man’s muscular legs were comfortable to lean on.

Hua Nuan curled her lips.

"Mmm, it’s so comfortable..."

"Hmm."

Huo Zun leaned down to kiss the woman’s brow, then said, lips pressed.

"It’s hard on you."

The sharp and clever manner just now was extremely charming.

"If anyone bullies my husband, I’ll fight them... Mmm, if I can’t handle it, a sharp tongue works too."

Huo Zun: "..."

In the sunlight, Hua Nuan opened her bright mischievous eyes, unbelievably cute, Huo Zun’s heart slightly moved, pulling the woman securely into his arms.

"Thank you, Little Nuannuan, you’re the first one besides my mom who wants to protect me."

Knowing the man wasn’t joking, Hua Nuan willingly nestled into the man’s arms, pressing her lips.

"Mainly because you’re handsome..."

"..."

"Actually, the internet was very curious about your sexual orientation initially... Well, let me be honest, I anonymously posted a few threads saying you and Gu Mochen had an improper relationship... You know, in this world of fangirls, it’s inevitable to have suspicions when you’re handsome without a girlfriend."

"..."

Seeing Huo Zun’s slightly speechless look, Hua Nuan quickly smiled amicably: "Can’t blame me, in those early days you had no women around you... And you interacted closely with Gu Mochen, and we were pure."

No improper relationships between men and women...

"Ahem...so my misunderstanding was normal, right?"

Hua Nuan blinked her clear beautiful eyes, speaking innocently.

Huo Zun: "..."

This little girl really has some nerve.

Huo Zun’s enchanting blue eyes narrowed, emitting an alluring aura, almost enveloping everything around him.

"Hmm?"

A single ’hmm’ was so enchanting, Hua Nuan quietly cursed in her heart, smilingly saying: "Aren’t you going to work in the study? I... I will go soak up the sun on the rooftop terrace then... Haha..."

"Ah..."

Just as Hua Nuan was about to get up and escape, the man quickly pulled her into his arms, then carried her to lie directly on the soft big bed.

It’s over.

Hua Nuan’s heart sounded the alarm, then the man’s blazing breath landed on her cheek.

"Little Nuannuan, I didn’t know back then you were questioning me, huh... How about checking it out now..."

"Checked... I think it’s unnecessary."

"Need to... indeed need to, checking deepens memory."

Hua Nuan: "..."

An animal.

Hua Nuan looked into the man’s blue eyes flashing with alluring possessive gaze, wanting to escape, but it was too late, she could only let the man consume her breath, consume everything of her, until finally, she was left with nothing.

Disgust!

...

After the passion.

Huo Zun went to the study to handle business; Isabella and Huo Si didn’t want to embarrass themselves, so they left directly.

After Hua Nuan woke up, it was already afternoon.

Feeling dizzy and her legs trembling badly.

So tired...

Knowing Huo Zun was busy, Hua Nuan decided not to bother him in the study, instead, she focused on taking the Tongkat Ali she got from Professor Huang and headed to the laboratory.

For traditional Chinese medicine, she was unfamiliar, so Hua Nuan was very curious about new things.

...

Under the microscope, Hua Nuan carefully sampled Tongkat Ali on the glass slides, adding acid, alkali, salt, and sugar reagents respectively.

After half an hour, Hua Nuan examined the sample results carefully.

Hmm...

It seems a series of chemical experiments are needed to draw conclusions.

Now it seems the results indicate Tongkat Ali can survive normally in most environments.

After all... the composition of Tongkat Ali remains intact in various environments.

...

Hua Nuan noted her series of experimental data, in a blink, two hours passed, and Hua Nuan prepared to take off the lab coat and leave, only to see Huo Zun entering wearing a lab coat.

The reason Huo Zun got involved in black market pharmaceuticals and drug trade was mostly due to his expertise in medicine.

Skilled in these studies.

"Why are you here?"

"Came to see how you’re doing."

Huo Zun gently responded, watching Hua Nuan mark her samples, pressing his lips.

"You’re researching Tongkat Ali."

"Yes, if Tongkat Ali indeed has therapeutic effects, it will become a significant drug source because it can survive in any environment, with low environmental requirements."

Huo Zun curled his lips, saying: "I have instructed the butler to organize the entry of the country’s top experts in traditional Chinese medicine into the laboratory, I think there will be results soon."

"Hmm, just need to see if Tongkat Ali can kill cancer cells, and experiment on live mice."

Although the most crucial component may not be Tongkat Ali, traditional Chinese medicine certainly represents a major breakthrough.

"Right."

Hua Nuan looked into the man’s firm and focused blue eyes, curled her red lips, then squinted her almond eyes, playful and teasingly speaking.

"Can I check out your private laboratory?"

Among the labs in the villa’s basement, the most special one is Huo Zun’s private lab.

Rumored to be top secret, not easily accessible.

Even though Huo Zun didn’t entirely participate in drug research, he was involved in the development.

Huo Zun watched Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes sparkling with fascination, his thin lips curled upwards.

"Hmm, you can..."

Hua Nuan felt joyful inside.

"Huo Zun’s husband is the best."

Huo Zun: "..."
