Jian Ran spoke softly, with her phoenix-like eyes closely observing Hua Nuan’s facial expressions, not missing any minor detail.
"Yeah, Huo Zun is handling everything, so I’m not too sure how it’s all going."
Hua Nuan spoke honestly, without any evasion.
"Ranran, I actually don’t want to marry him. I just couldn’t escape, so I wanted to find a chance to run away before the wedding, but Huo Zun drugged , leaving too weak this month to do anything, so I can’t leave for now."
Jian Ran watched the woman open up sincerely to her, telling the truth, her beautiful eyes flickering with a trace of heartache.
years old...
When the Hua Family had an incident, Hua Nuan was only 12.
Rumor has it that Hua Nuan’s mother had an accident right when Hua Nuan was born.
So, Hua Nuan and her father relied on each other for survival.
Six years ago, they lost everything, going from heaven to hell.
The woman in front of her seed sharp as a cat, but deep down, she was still a child.
Jian Ran gently patted the peacefully sleeping Little Cubao in Hua Nuan’s arms, pursing her cherry lips, she spoke earnestly.
"Although I’m not sure if you will ever fall in love with Huo Zun, I am certain that Huo Zun cares for you in his heart. The days you spend by his side won’t be bad, so from a friend’s perspective, I hope you can marry him. Although it may not be love for now, why not give each other a chance since there’s no other man around you?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Hua Nuan listened to Jian Ran’s words.
Looking at the seriousness in Jian Ran’s beautiful eyes, Hua Nuan felt a little unsettled inside.
"I can’t get over the hurdle in my heart. My dad had an accident at Huo Zun’s casino."
Jian Ran’s eyes flickered with surprise, not able to fully grasp the aning of Hua Nuan’s words.
Hua Nuan then explained in detail the entire sequence of events to Jian Ran.
Hua Kun never gambled, but at Huo Zun’s casino, he gambled extravagantly, ending up with massive debts, then he jumped to his death.
Hua Nuan firmly believed that Hua Kun had no other enemies aside from his connection to Huo Zun.
Hua Nuan couldn’t think of anyone else who fit the bill.
Every family has its own difficult story.
Jian Ran had always been curious about the complicated relationship between Hua Nuan and Huo Zun, Hua Nuan’s attitude towards Huo Zun was also...
Now she understood.
Jian Ran pursed her lips, speaking earnestly.
"Nuannuan, although I can’t claim to know the truth, I believe that Huo Zun is a straightforward person. If he did sothing, he would own up to it... So, if he says no, why don’t you believe him?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Hua Nuan’s eyes showed a flicker of hesitation, then she heard Jian Ran’s voice, gentle as water, flowing steadily.
"Those who are most obstinate and stubborn are often fixated in one-track thinking. Nuannuan, try letting go of your previous assumptions and reconsider, maybe the result will surprise you."
Hua Nuan pressed her lips together, having always lived with the belief of avenging Hua Kun.
Her faith over the years had told her she had to get revenge on Huo Zun.
So for years, she had lived with this belief.
Now suddenly telling herself to consider another perspective, Hua Nuan felt at a loss.
Hua Nuan sniffled, and after a long while, murmured.
"Thank you, Ranran, I understand now..."
"Actually, the person one should be most wary of is oneself, because one is always driven by emotions, yet it’s hard to notice it, and often assus one’s guesses are the truth."
Hua Nuan curved her lips slightly, letting out a light laugh.
What Jian Ran said was quite similar to what Huo Zun had told her.
Just as Hua Nuan was about to speak, she soon noticed sothing unusual from Little Cubao in her arms, and weakly said, "Cough, cough, Ranran, did Little Cubao... wet himself?"
Jian Ran: "..."
