Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1671 - 1669: The Battle of Wits Between Man and Woman (Part 4)

The man’s cold and emotionless words rang in her ears, making Hua Nuan’s scalp tingle slightly.

God knows.

Huo Zun must be at the peak of his anger, just barely containing his rage and not directing it at her.

From the man’s eyes, she could see that she was doomed.

There was no way to escape.

Hua Nuan forced a smile at the corner of her mouth and murmured, "Yeah, I miss you too. I was thinking of you while piloting the helicopter, otherwise, I wouldn’t have cursed repeatedly."

With a mischievous glint in her eyes, Hua Nuan scanned the surroundings, carefully examining any potential weapons she could use.

But unfortunately, there were none...

The man had her pinned down tightly, and Hua Nuan tentatively suggested, "Huo Zun, how about... we get up and talk? This position feels a bit strange, and it wouldn’t look good if someone saw."

"Turn off the main surveillance and controls for me. I’ll personally fly this helicopter now."

"Yes, Mr. Huo."

Hua Nuan: "..."

The man merely barked an order in the cabin, and someone immediately complied. Hua Nuan’s eyes flashed with disdain.

However, the only advantage was that now it was just her and Huo Zun alone.

If she could take out the man, she might still have a chance to escape.

Back in the castle, she could hold a gun to herself and force Huo Zun to submit.

Now... Hua Nuan found that she had nothing to leverage.

Huo Zun continued to hold her down, gazing at the delicate small face of the woman in front of him, a dark wave stirring in his heart.

What an exquisitely beautiful woman.

Yet, this woman was anything but worry-free.

Instead, she had been a constant source of concern.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

"I do. I have learned from it and will not repeat it."

Hua Nuan instantly changed her demeanor, appearing pitiful, like she genuinely knew she had done wrong.

Huo Zun looked at the woman before him with satisfaction, knowing full well she was pretending, both of them well aware, yet he was reluctant to expose her.

"Hmm... why didn’t you shoot outside the secret room earlier, and instead destroy the wall with a diamond?"

If Hua Nuan had actually fired a shot.

It would have been a true act of disrespect toward Yang Ruo.

Even though he usually indulged her personality, at that moment, he would have had to severely punish Hua Nuan.

Hua Nuan: "..."

Hua Nuan hadn’t expected Huo Zun to ask this question, her eyes widened in surprise, then she pursed her lips.

"Because the woman in the photo looked beautiful and serene; otherwise, she wouldn’t be placed in the secret room, so I didn’t want to disturb her peaceful dream."

Hua Nuan spoke to herself, then realized she might have said something wrong, and explained.

"I didn’t mean she looked like someone who had passed away, it’s just... I simply like her..."

Perhaps... expressions can’t lie.

The woman gave off a feeling of beauty, and tranquility...

Elegance.

In any case, she couldn’t bring herself to dislike her. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Even if she was someone very important to Huo Zun.

For herself, she often automatically regarded Huo Zun’s friends as her enemies.

And his enemies, as her friends.

Huo Zun: "..."
