The man’s charming aura approached, carrying a captivating presence, and Hua Nuan’s expression changed slightly.
"A secret."
"Hmm."
Huo Zun knew that the little girl wouldn’t be pleased with him.
Huo Zun didn’t get angry. He raised his hand to tousle Hua Nuan’s hair and smiled.
"Sotis, Little Nuannuan, you’re not as adorable as Tang Bao."
Hua Nuan: "..."
Although the man’s words were dismissive, he said them with a smile and an underlying affection. Hua Nuan bit her lip and awkwardly avoided eye contact.
The whole situation made her a bit uneasy.
Jian Ran observed their interaction keenly and casually handed Gu Jinchen over.
"I’ll go check how Mo Chen and Dad are doing. You help take care of Cubao. Co on, Tang Bao, let’s find Daddy."
"Okay!"
Huo Zun: "..."
Huo Zun looked at the little Cubao in his arms, who was sound asleep and very sweet, with a small, soft body nestled in his embrace, which made Huo Zun feel a bit uneasy.
Hua Nuan watched the man fumble around and spoke up impatiently.
"Let do it."
"Hmm."
Although she hadn’t taken care of children before, over the years, she’d gotten accustod to holding them at Jian Ran’s place, so Hua Nuan handled it quite well.
A thought flashed through her mind, recalling Jian Ran’s advice.
As the woman said, it seems she had been stuck in a dead end all this ti.
Hua Nuan squinted her beautiful eyes, and while deep in thought, she watched the man’s slender fingers fall onto Gu Jinchen’s small hand.
Even though asleep, Gu Jinchen held onto Huo Zun’s finger tightly.
Huo Zun’s lips curled up with a joyful smile.
"Little Nuannuan, the little one is so adorable."
The man’s smile was radiant, and Hua Nuan tugged at the corner of her lips.
Inexperienced.
Hua Nuan pouted and questioned.
"Honestly, if you want kids, there are plenty of won who could have them for you."
Implying, he didn’t need to fixate on her.
Soone like herself, prone to little tantrums, far from being well-behaved.
If she were a man, she’d probably be quite dismissive of herself too.
Huo Zun narrowed his blue eyes, then rested them on the woman’s exquisite face as he spoke nonchalantly.
"Who told you that six years ago, covered in blood, you appeared before ? That’s destiny, so I bought you. And the secret chamber where other won cannot tread, yet you barged in, explains it. You’re destined to marry , give children, understand?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Destiny.
That word carried so much weight.
Hua Nuan heard the man’s words but caught onto another key point.
"Huo Zun, when Dad owed your casino so much money, did you still need to buy ? Wasn’t I already used to pay off the debt?"
Huo Zun: "..."
Seeing the woman’s astonished gaze, Huo Zun retorted.
"No, at my casino, there’s a distinction between gamblers and their families. Your auction was soone hoping to make a fortune by selling you. Wasn’t it Hua Kun who sold you at a high price to pay off a debt? Or perhaps, was it actions taken by other creditors your father owed?"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Indeed.
Now that question arises.
Hua Nuan narrowed her phoenix eyes, seemingly realizing the man hit the nail on the head.
Her beautiful eyes widened, suspecting it might not have been the creditors after all.
