Assistant to My Contracted Husband-Chapter 1719 - 1717: Treating a Woman Like a Princess (5)
Hua Nuan tugged at the corner of her mouth, suppressing the strange feeling in her heart, murmuring after a long time.
"Huo Zun... you’re such a damn bastard."
"I’ll deal with you when I get back."
Hua Nuan: "..."
...
Huo Zun didn’t invite everyone to stay for dinner, so Hua Dong and the others felt awkward trying to stay by force.
In less than an hour, Huo Zun managed to acquire a costly villa without any effort.
Hua Dong really suffered a big loss.
Now that Huo Zun promised Hua Nuan could leave, Hua Dong couldn’t refuse, so he tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"Mr. Huo, won’t you join us for a meal?"
"No, I have a dinner meeting tonight for business, and I was just worrying about finding someone to accompany Little Nuannuan for dinner. Mr. Hua and Little Nuannuan haven’t seen each other for years, so now’s a good chance to catch up. I’ll leave Little Nuannuan in your care. Make sure to bring her back to me in one piece, alright?"
The man’s word "alright" carried an undeniable authority and dominance. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Once again, Hua Dong felt a chill down his spine. After a long while, he forced a smile and stammered.
"Alright, alright, I understand, I... will."
"Alright, I’ll leave it to Mr. Hua then."
"Okay..."
...
Huo Zun didn’t even arrange a car, so Hua Nuan just changed into a simple outfit and got into the car that Hua Dong had arrived in.
It was an ordinary Bentley...
Hua Han was responsible for driving.
Ironically... Huo Zun arranged for a Cadillac to follow behind Hua Nuan.
The car was occupied by mercenaries protecting Hua Nuan.
A great irony indeed.
Having been by the man’s side for years, Hua Nuan was accustomed to his ways. She looked out the window, considering it a relief not to have to deal with Huo Zun.
Even though she knew she couldn’t escape, it was a rare moment of relaxation, and she felt quite good.
Especially seeing Hua Dong and Brother Hua Han.
...
Hua Han chose a riverside restaurant.
Upon arrival, the mercenaries immediately cleared the place, making the irrelevant people leave.
It was the first time for Hua Han and Hua Ruyi to witness such overbearing clearing of a place, and they were a bit surprised.
Hua Dong, used to grand scenes, was still somewhat amazed by what he saw.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Hua Nuan explained.
"This is Huo Zun’s habit; he always arranges for places to be cleared when he goes out."
Initially, Hua Nuan wasn’t used to it, but having been by the man’s side for many years, she gradually got used to all his manners.
She also began to tolerate his arrogance and brazenness.
Hua Ruyi swallowed her saliva, accustomed to her pampered lifestyle, she always thought Hua Nuan lived like a slave, now it seemed like the woman lived well.
She was treated like a cherished princess.
Even when going out, Huo Zun would arrange for mercenaries to protect her.
So... domineering, so doting.
"Nuannuan, in the... six years by Mr. Huo’s side, how have you been?"
Hua Ruyi feigned concern, but she was actually probing into Hua Nuan’s six years by Huo Zun’s side.
For some reason, Hua Nuan felt that Hua Ruyi wasn’t genuinely concerned.
Rather, it was... probing.
More than that, it was curiosity; the woman’s eyes were always glittering.
Hua Nuan pursed her lips, speaking truthfully.
"Strictly speaking, it’s been alright. Huo Zun provided me with the best educational environment and living conditions..."
Hua Nuan tugged at the corners of her mouth, "But, these aren’t what I want. Back then, Dad’s involvement with the gambling house was under Huo Zun’s ownership. Dad has never been a gambler, and he’s never gambled, so I suspect he was framed."
"Dad has always been a good person, so the only person I can think of who framed him, besides Huo Zun wanting to take over the Hua Family, is no one else. Uncle... do you believe Dad was framed back then?"
Hua Dong was caught off guard by Hua Nuan’s sudden question, his expression changed.
He became even more uneasy.
