Chapter 1937: Chapter 431: He Has Always Had Me
"Of course I don’t believe it, Huo Si. What do you have? You have nothing... The only leverage you have against Huo Zun is the European management rights he once cut off cleanly from the old lady, and the research results now being presented are just half-finished products from Huo Zun’s three-year research in the lab, so honestly, I don’t see what you have."
Hua Nuan’s lips curved into a smile, deliberately provoking the man’s anger to make him give in and act impulsively, beyond reason.
As expected, once Hua Nuan spoke up, Huo Si immediately promised, "Don’t worry, I’ll show you my abilities within three days."
"Good, looking forward to it."
After pausing and waiting for the other party to calm down, Hua Nuan deliberately added, "But rest assured, no matter what you do... or what Huo Zun’s future looks like, I... will never leave."
"So... stay away from me, otherwise, if not for Huo Zun and the old lady, I’d cripple you any time."
With that, Hua Nuan directly hung up the phone.
Beep, beep, beep...
The sound of Hua Nuan hanging up echoed in Huo Si’s ears, sending him into a furious rage.
In the whole world, only Hua Nuan would dare treat him like this.
Really drove him up the wall.
...
After hanging up, Hua Nuan timed her way upstairs, returning to her room, just as Huo Zun stepped out of the bathroom.
Hua Nuan smiled and took the initiative to say, "Thank you..."
After saying this, she prepared to pass by the man and head directly to the bathtub, but Huo Zun immediately grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom.
Hua Nuan: "..."
So forceful.
"Huo Zun..."
"Hmm?"
Huo Zun’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his blue eyes blazing as if he wanted to devour her whole.
"You go out, I want to take a bath."
"Together."
"You first?"
"Together..."
"Huo Zun... ever since we were kids, everyone said there’s a difference between men and women, boys go to the men’s bathhouse, and girls go to the women’s, you... as an adult, don’t you understand this simple logic?"
Hua Nuan wanted to say more, but he acted as if he didn’t hear.
Hua Nuan: "..."
Huo Zun knew reasoning with a woman wouldn’t work.
At critical moments, force was necessary.
Hua Nuan felt wronged.
They embraced quietly...
Hua Nuan rested in his arms, her cheeks slightly flushed, feeling a bit shy.
"Were you on the phone just now?"
"Mm, yes... but I’m not telling you who it was..."
Looking at her starry eyes, Huo Zun’s thin lips curled slightly.
"Hmm?"
His single "Hmm" was filled with seduction, causing Hua Nuan to swallow nervously, before being wrapped in his embrace.
Sensing what he might do next, Hua Nuan cautiously spoke.
"Huo Zun, I think it’s good to be single-minded, whatever it is, focus is key."
"Mm, I agree."
His devilishly handsome face appeared even more enchanting under the night, emitting a fatal allure. Hua Nuan’s cheeks reddened, quickly saying, "Then let me go quickly."
"No, I need to single-mindedly do things."
Her eyes widened, puzzled by his response, "What do you mean? Weren’t you going to shower?"
"I never said I was going to shower."
Hua Nuan was dumbfounded.
What did Huo Zun mean by this?
"You can focus on your bath, and I’ll focus on my things... Who said entering the bathroom means you have to shower?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Listening to his confident and arrogant words, she became even more perplexed.
Huo Zun had surely reached his limit.
"Alright, Little Nuannuan, I need to focus on my task now, please don’t disturb me."
"If... you still have energy to bathe, I support it."
Hua Nuan: "..."
You’re kidding.
How could she have the energy to shower at a time like this?
Feeling totally drained.
Looking at her defeat, Huo Zun smiled, thinking she was simply too cute.
Afterward, Hua Nuan couldn’t help but marvel.
The man was really focused on his task.
No intention of showering at all.
This... made sense.
She fell right into the fox’s trap.
...
The next day, Hua Nuan awoke to find Huo Zun already dressed.
Smiling fondly, he asked, "Not sleeping a little more?"
"Get lost..."
Throwing a pillow at him, annoyed by his mischievous grin.
Clearly in a good mood, he squinted his blue eyes at her antics.
"Then freshen up, I’ll wait downstairs."
"Go away."
Annoyed, she spat at him.
Beast.
Was this how one treated their beloved wife?
So demanding.
Internally, she was filled with disdain for Huo Zun.
...
After washing up and going downstairs, she found Huo Zun had prepared a lavish breakfast as an apology.
Xiaobai meowed, nuzzling her ankle in greeting.
"Meow."
Patting the little one’s head, she swallowed and sat at the table, feeling ravenous from their exertion.
"Try the millet porridge."
"Okay."
Sipping the porridge, it was rich and delicious.
Sweet like honey in her heart.
"I’ll go to the company with you later."
"Okay."
Huo Si’s release of an anti-cancer drug today would stir up the board, and passive shareholders with confrontational intentions would opt to pull out.
Purging dissenters.
Seeing Huo Zun’s serious demeanor, she knew he’d have a busy day, so she asked, concerned, "Huo Zun, do you have enough working capital? If not, there’s still some money from the Hua Family you can use."
After Hua Han’s arrest and Hua Dong returning Hua Kun’s embezzled funds, she left the estate in Huo Zun’s care due to her lack of financial acumen.
Listening to her thoughtful words, he smiled, assuring her.
"No need; it’s sufficient."
With the accumulated family wealth, Huo Zun’s resources were beyond her imagination.
Curious about his determined look, she asked, "Huo Zun... do you have a lot of money?"
Amused by her expression, he chuckled softly.
"What? Now you want to manage the finances?"
She nodded seriously.
"Yeah... to support a kept man, reaching the pinnacle of life."
Huo Zun: "..."
