The outer walls were a stark black, while the inner walls were pure white as snow.
"Hmm, smart."
Huo Zun curled his lips; besides Gu Mochen, he rarely revealed his true feelings in front of others.
Now, after expressing himself, he felt much better.
Hua Nuan: "..."
Although the man was smiling, there was an indescribable pain in his blue eyes.
He was hurt.
Licking his wounds.
Hua Nuan’s gaze flickered slightly; she initially thought the man was like so kind of ghostly presence—aloof and untouchable, as if he didn’t partake in the mundane world, sotis even feeling that the man wasn’t human, but a god.
No one she had ever seen was like Huo Zun, so domineering and arrogant.
Now, seeing the man like this, Hua Nuan’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
For the first ti, she had a significant change in her perception of Huo Zun.
"Do you know why she committed suicide?"
"All the servants employed at that ti have vanished from this world, so what the truth is remains unknown. However, I won’t spare any effort to get to the bottom of it."
Hua Nuan listened to the man’s words, knowing he had already made up his mind.
"Hmm."
The atmosphere turned chilly like ice due to the discussion of the past.
Hua Nuan realized that her current interaction with Huo Zun was exceptionally calm, the two standing quietly in front of Yang Ruo’s photograph, solemn and respectful.
Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of darkness; suicide?
Although the woman’s amber eyes were gentle like water, she seed very docile. But docility doesn’t an life could be discarded at will; there must be more to the story.
And since everyone involved back then is no longer around...
It seems the other party deliberately doesn’t want Huo Zun to know the truth.
...
In the end, Hua Nuan left following behind Huo Zun.
Watching the man’s broad and tall back, Hua Nuan read two words from it.
Arrogant isolation.
Huo Zun... was arrogantly isolated.
Hua Nuan tugged at her lips, her eyes flashing with recognition of this truth in her heart.
Yes, clear in grievances and gratitude.
She always was this kind of person.
Not discussing past events, the emotions the man showed today were enough to prove that Huo Zun wasn’t devoid of feelings.
Hua Kun, Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but reveal traces of nostalgia and reluctance.
She missed him dearly too.
So every ti she thought of Hua Kun ending his life due to gambling at a casino under Huo Zun’s na, her resentnt towards the man deepened significantly.
...
That night, Hua Nuan worried about exposing too much of her emotions in front of the man, so she lay with her back to him.
Around her waist was the man’s powerful arm, pulling her completely into his embrace.
Domineering, arrogant, unmatched...
...
The next day, Hua Nuan, half-awake and half-asleep, felt her palm damp, and upon opening her eyes, she saw Xiaobai lovingly licking her hand, looking adorably chubby.
Hmm, really endearing.
Hua Nuan raised her hand to cuddle Xiaobai in her arms, holding it as she dozed off a little longer before leisurely heading downstairs.
The wedding date was approaching, but the busy one was Huo Zun.
Her physical stamina wasn’t up to par, so all she could do was brainstorm ideas, waiting for her strength to return.
Hua Nuan, carrying Xiaobai, descended the stairs to find Huo Zun elegantly sipping tea.
