The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Hua Nuan’s heart fluttered slightly.
Could Huo Zun be watching her?
Realizing what she was thinking, Hua Nuan indeed felt the man’s fiery gaze fall upon her.
Huo Zun was watching her.
With this realization, Hua Nuan felt a slight jolt in her heart.
This was definitely not how a master should behave towards a pet.
Normally speaking.
A pet should co when summoned and leave when dismissed.
Moreover... it should be conquered.
After a long ti, the man’s intense gaze hadn’t shifted, and Hua Nuan proactively opened her beautiful eyes, eting Huo Zun’s blue gaze.
Huo Zun: "..."
Their eyes t in the air.
Huo Zun had been quietly gazing at the woman’s sleeping face, his eyes sowhat gentle.
Now, eting the woman’s clear eyes, the gentleness in his eyes hadn’t dissipated in ti, allowing Hua Nuan to catch it perfectly.
Hua Nuan: "..."
The man’s eyes were gentle, almost so tender they could bleed.
It was the first ti Hua Nuan had seen Huo Zun looking at her with such a soft gaze.
This kind of expression is an absolute... indulgence a man shows towards a woman.
She had seen it more than once on Gu Mochen’s face.
Every ti Gu Mochen looked at Jian Ran, he would reveal this expression.
So, why was Huo Zun doing this to her?
Hua Nuan was at a loss.
"Morning."
Hua Nuan tugged at the corner of her mouth, taking advantage of the man’s mont of distraction to escape from his grasp, maintaining a relatively safe distance.
Huo Zun: "..."
"Mm."
Huo Zun, realizing his lapse, responded lightly.
"Were you just watching ?"
Seeing the man’s calm reaction, Hua Nuan quickly asked.
"Were you pretending to sleep just now?"
Hua Nuan took the initiative, confessing to her feigned sleep, and tugged at the corner of her mouth without denying it.
"I asked first, so you have to answer first."
First thing in the morning, seeing the woman so sharp-tongued, Huo Zun lifted his hand to her small face, his thin lips curving in a dangerously enticing way.
"So what if I was? You are mine, I’ve already seen you inside and out, so what does it matter when I look?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Damn.
She had never seen such a domineering man.
Hua Nuan tried to capture that trace of warmth and gentleness in the man’s blue eyes, which had now been replaced by coldness and danger.
The man had returned to his previous inscrutable state.
Hua Nuan pursed her lips, sowhat surprised by the man’s unusual behavior, but she couldn’t quite articulate it.
"Peeping first thing in the morning... Huo Zun, I can only say you’re quite unwell."
Hua Nuan’s eyes flashed with a trace of mockery, then she struggled out from under his arm, stating, "I need to use the bathroom. The famous Mr. Huo, are you planning to follow too?"
Huo Zun: "..."
Huo Zun watched the girl’s provocative gaze, pursing his lips.
Seeing the man remain silent, a faint smile appeared on Hua Nuan’s lips.
Although she hadn’t gained the upper hand, not being defeated was already a victory for her.
Gaining the upper hand in front of Huo Zun was definitely a pipe dream.
