Chapter 1925: Chapter 427: I’ll Give You a Bunch of Sons

"Actually, I’ve been taking male contraceptives, effective for the next year."

Hua Nuan: "..."

This was something Huo Zun had never mentioned to her before.

Hua Nuan was startled by the man’s words, then pressed her lips together and said, "Didn’t they say there aren’t any good male contraceptives on the market?"

"There are, although the system isn’t fully developed yet, I’ve tested its efficacy for three years prior, and the results are significant. The over-the-counter female contraceptives can be quite damaging to the body."

"I don’t want you to suffer."

Hua Nuan’s eyes widened at the man’s words, her heart beating frantically.

She was deeply touched by the man’s consideration for her.

"Um..."

"My Little Nuannuan is still so young, we’ll have plenty of opportunities later when my Little Nuannuan decides she’s done playing and wants to have my children, right?"

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hua Nuan felt touched, understanding Huo Zun’s heartfelt intentions...

Taking a deep breath, Hua Nuan nestled into Huo Zun’s embrace and pressed her lips lightly.

"Alright then, I’ll give you a litter of sons."

Huo Zun: "..."

Please, no.

One daughter is enough.

Huo Zun secretly thought to himself, watching the corners of Hua Nuan’s lips lift, he silently spoke.

"One daughter."

"Ha ha, no way, I’ll give you a litter of sons, then we can play mahjong together, or poker."

Huo Zun: "..."

Huo Zun’s handsome face darkened even more.

The two embraced quietly, enjoying the serenity of the moment.

Hua Nuan smiled slightly and softly said, "Didn’t you say you had something to tell me earlier? What is it?"

"I just saw you with Huo Si, sorry, it wasn’t intentional eavesdropping, but company spaces have no hidden corners, so everything is in plain view, what’s said or done can be clearly known."

Hua Nuan pressed her lips together, realizing Huo Zun was indeed referring to what she had wanted to ask.

Hua Nuan looked at the man’s charming smile, snuggling deeper into his arms, she questioned.

"So, you heard what Huo Si and I were talking about?"

"Hmm."

Huo Zun tightly held the woman in his arms, deeply caring for the woman inside. Though Hua Nuan was young, she handled things with maturity.

The girl’s unyielding and dignified approach indeed made him fond of her.

Moreover, she was straightforward, open and generous, never stuck on what others said.

Hua Nuan pressed her lips together, hearing the man’s affirming "Hmm," she narrowed her beautiful eyes.

"Then?"

"Hmm?"

Hua Nuan couldn’t contain her curiosity and lifted her leg, attacking the man’s abdomen.

Hua Nuan deliberately restrained her strength, causing a slight pain just enough to feel, but the area below the abdomen being somewhat sensitive made Huo Zun’s expression change slightly. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"So, aren’t you going to confess to me honestly, I’ve long wanted to deal with you."

Huo Zun: "..."

Watching the girl’s "ferocious" appearance, Huo Zun couldn’t help but lift the corners of his lips, holding the woman tightly in his arms.

"Alright, I’ll confess! But don’t expect leniency, since I’ve done nothing wrong."

Hua Nuan looked at the man with sincerity, pressing her lips together and said, "Um, alright."

Quietly resting on the man’s arm, she gazed at him, waiting for his confession.

Huo Zun pressed his lips tightly, narrowing his blue eyes, recalling the past, which had been many years ago.

"Huo Si mentioned someone named An Wen, she does exist."

Hua Nuan could sense the deep tone in Huo Zun’s voice, hearing his words she pressed her lips slightly.

"Hmm, the name sounds like she’d be a beautiful, graceful girl."

"Exactly, she’s the daughter of a maid in the castle. Because the maid needed to care for us closely, she often brought her husband and daughter to live in a corner of the castle, her demeanor was very elegant, rarely did anybody see her in a fit of anger."

Hua Nuan heard the man’s words and smiled.

"What happened afterwards?"

"Growing up in the same place, my personality was always reserved, reluctant to interact with others, later she’d often accompany her mother in chatting, in time we became familiar."

Childhood sweethearts, typically have such stories.

Hua Nuan had seen it all before.

"Um... then what happened..."

"Then we each grew up, if according to what Huo Si said is true, we were childhood sweethearts."

Listening to Huo Zun’s sentiments, Hua Nuan gradually walked into the scenery alongside him.

Childhood sweethearts, innocent companions.

They both grew up.

The picture was beautiful.

As a bystander, one would hope for a good ending.

"Then, what happened later?"

"Later, Huo Si omitted a critical detail, which is... An Wen became pregnant."

Hua Nuan: "..."

All previous narrations were by far pleasant, but this sentence shocked Hua Nuan into sitting upright, her expression slightly changing.

"Huo Zun... What? What did you say, An Wen was pregnant?"

"Yes, it’s true..."

Huo Zun calmly responded, "The child isn’t mine."

"Of course not, I know it’s not yours, but who is the child’s father?"

Hua Nuan trusted her husband’s character.

But the unmarried girl growing up alongside Huo Zun, yet carrying another man’s child, was beyond astounding and unfathomable.

Huo Zun pressed his lips, his eyes falling gracefully upon the woman in front of him, he questioned: "Take a guess."

Hua Nuan: "..."

If it was up to her to guess, it would be hard.

Hua Nuan narrowed her beautiful eyes, pondering deeply.

Then suddenly realizing, her face turned pale.

"She was pregnant, died by Huo Si’s hand... yet you didn’t severely punish Huo Si, could it be... that this child is..."

"Indeed, it’s Huo Si’s child."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Matters in elite families are hardly straightforward and clean, it’s truly not easy to untangle.

Hua Nuan heard the man’s words and remained dazed for quite a while.

"Are you... certain?"

"Once, Huo Si drunkenly raped An Wen. Afterwards, An Wen endured humiliation and survived, never declaring the matter. Although I grew up alongside An Wen, our feelings were akin to siblings, not as intimate as lovers, contrary to what Huo Si claimed."

Some people have pure hearts, thus their perspective on life remains clean.

Others view others through tinted lenses, naturally seeing things as unclean.

Hua Nuan: "..."

Enduring humiliation...

Hua Nuan pressed her lips slightly, voicing softly: "Then An Wen must have cared for Huo Si somehow, otherwise... she wouldn’t have wanted to have the child."

"Yes, that’s right... As they grew up, Huo Si intensely resented me, often confronting me, while An Wen’s initial admiration and fondness for Huo Si turned to despair amidst brotherly contention and deceit, truly merciless."

"Later, when Huo Si’s mother discovered An Wen’s pregnancy, she forced her to abort. On the day she aborted the child, Huo Si interrogated An Wen about her relationship with me and my current situation. In shame and rage, An Wen stabbed herself in the heart with a dagger, dying in Huo Si’s arms."

"After her death, I found a letter she’d written me shortly before, advising me... not to hate Huo Si, and not to reveal the truth to him. So over the years, concerning the past, I neither mention nor interfere."

Hua Nuan: "..."

The story is far more convoluted than she had imagined.

Hua Nuan listened to Huo Zun’s recount, dazed for a long while.

Eventually, she pressed her lips and softly said, "I... I understand now."
