There are only two weeks left until the wedding, but Hua Nuan doesn’t seem to be in the mindset of being a bride-to-be at all.
Without Huo Zun around, Hua Nuan finds her lunch especially delicious, thinking the taste is superb.
After lunch, Hua Nuan takes on the responsibility of accompanying Jian Ran for a short walk, also chatting with her along the way.
Ever since giving birth to Little Cubao, Jian Ran has often been kept awake by the little one, leaving her with a terrible headache. Having Hua Nuan to chat with lightens her mood quite a bit, but it’s noticeable that Hua Nuan has sothing on her mind.
"Nuannuan, sothing on your mind? Being sullen isn’t like you."
Upon hearing Jian Ran’s words, Hua Nuan slightly pulls at the corners of her lips, a hint of a smile appearing.
"Ranran, what am I usually like?"
"With Huo Zun away, it’s a perfect opportunity! You should think of a way to run away!"
Hua Nuan: "..."
Hua Nuan breaks into a bemused smile. Jian Ran’s witty words show that the little girl has definitely inherited the won’s wisdom.
"Yeah, I do have sothing on my mind. I suspect that when my dad had his accident, it might have been related to my uncle. I’m usually one to seek vengeance for every grievance, but just thinking that it might be my uncle makes feel a bit powerless. Thinking about it, I’m quite cowardly."
Hua Nuan speaks frankly to Jian Ran, not treating her as an outsider.
Jian Ran isn’t surprised to hear this; her intuition also tells her that Hua Dong isn’t a good person.
"You’re actually not cowardly, and it’s not that you’re scared of the truth. Perhaps you’re more afraid for your father. Although he’s already passed away, if Hua Dong is indeed the mastermind behind this, then he might suffer even more."
Jian Ran’s words hit the nail on the head, and Hua Nuan’s beautiful eyes warm up.
"Yeah."
Jian Ran smiles, reminding herself that this is just an 18-year-old child.
"Actually, if you want to completely catch the culprit, why not just set a trap?"
Hua Nuan’s eyes light up at these words.
"Ranran, you an..."
Jian Ran just smiles without saying a word, leaning her cherry lips close to the woman’s ear, she whispers her plan.
Upon hearing this, Hua Nuan’s lips curl up a bit more.
As expected from Jian Ran, a great idea.
...
Gu Mochen takes care of Tang Bao as she naps, and sees Jian Ran and Hua Nuan engrossed in conversation, a smile playing on his lips. Dressed in tailored ho wear, he still exudes an irresistible dominance and charisma. Only Gu Mochen could manage to make loungewear look so impressive.
Jian Ran smiles and pulls Gu Mochen to sit beside her.
"Huo Zun must really be carefree, leaving his little wife here with us and not coming to fetch her. That doesn’t seem very manly."
Gu Mochen, seeing Jian Ran’s bright smile, raises his hand to affectionately pinch the little girl’s cheek.
"Yes, the old man just called, saying he’s prepared so ginseng and deer antler. I’ll brew it into a soup for you later. The baby goods store Huo Zun bought earlier has enough supplies for Jinchen to use until he’s ten..."
The Gu Family’s belongings are soon to pile up like a mountain.
Jian Ran chuckles in amusent.
"Nuannuan, when Huo Zun bought that mother-and-baby store, why didn’t you stop him? I heard it’s a chain, and in Germany no less. Does Huo Zun plan on getting a share of that pie?"
Hua Nuan felt a bit embarrassed. At tis, Huo Zun can be too willful, even she can’t keep the man in check.
She really wants to express her disdain and critique him.
"Ahem, I also think it’s a waste, such extravagance!"
Jian Ran lets out a light laugh.
As everyone is speaking, suddenly, a mischievous male voice sounds from outside the living room.
"I heard soone talking bad about ."
Hua Nuan’s eyes widen, knowing it can only be that familiar voice belonging to none other than Huo Zun.
Jian Ran and Gu Mochen exchange a glance, understanding everything without having to say a word.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
With his little wife around, Huo Zun’s heart can’t be too far away.
