Hua Nuan’s lips curved into a faint arc as she placed her phone aside, looking at the man with elegantly crossed legs, charming and devilish, engrossed in his book, and spoke.
"Huo Zun, do you think Hua Ruyi will go along?"
"Not necessarily. Don’t worry, I’ll make arrangents, and if she doesn’t go, we’ll have her brought over."
Hua Nuan: "..."
Truly clever.
Hua Nuan’s eyes brightened; she couldn’t help but speak.
"Hmm, thank you."
"You’re welco. Don’t worry about the budget, just enjoy yourself. Understand?"
The man’s blue eyes were filled with certainty and indulgence.
Hua Nuan was sowhat moved by the man’s actions, awkwardly avoiding his gaze, she spoke softly.
"Hmm..."
Huo Zun was becoming increasingly affectionate towards her.
Hua Nuan felt she was getting overwheld.
In the past, she would definitely question the man’s reason for being good to her—love, confinent, or sothing else.
But now... perhaps because there were no other family mbers left around her.
So with only Huo Zun being kind to her, Hua Nuan didn’t want to delve into the root cause.
Afraid the answer might disappoint her...
...
anwhile, in the hotel room:
Hua Dong had just hung up a call from Huo Zun’s butler, his expression sowhat grave.
Hua Ruyi was still cheerfully selecting a dress, and upon seeing Hua Dong’s troubled face, she asked, "Dad, what’s wrong?"
"Just now, Mr. Huo sent soone to call , informing that I must make an appearance for tomorrow’s business in Cambodia, because he will be going with Hua Nuan."
"What? A man in the business world, what does that brat have to do with it? What right does she have, what is she even worth..."
Hua Ruyi has always been discontented with Hua Nuan, annoyed by her favored deanor, and her heart seethes with hatred, no longer in the mood to pick a dress and tossing the magazine aside.
"Huo Zun is genuinely interested in her; otherwise, he wouldn’t have given up on an arranged marriage and chosen her instead..."
Hua Dong seed to understand.
If Huo Zun wanted an arranged marriage, he would have gone for it long ago. He wouldn’t have hesitated, instead focusing entirely on preparing his and Hua Nuan’s wedding.
Hua Ruyi noticed Hua Dong’s contemplative deanor and couldn’t help but ask, "Dad, your face looks troubled, is the business hard to handle? Isn’t Brother Hua Han helping you?"
"No, it’s just that my heart feels uncomfortable. Quickly, get my dicine."
"Alright."
Having had heart disease for years, Hua Dong quickly swallowed the dicine after receiving it from Hua Ruyi, feeling sowhat better.
Slightly squinting, he stared at the bottle in his hand, inevitably recalling the past... In Cambodia, the reason he t with Hua Kun was... delivering dicine...
With this thought, Hua Dong awkwardly diverted his gaze and spoke.
"Ruyi, go bring Hua Han to my room; I have so important matters to discuss with him."
"Okay, Dad..."
Not daring to delay upon seeing Hua Dong’s serious deanor, Hua Ruyi quickly phoned Hua Han, informing him to swiftly co to Hua Dong’s room.
Shortly after, Hua Han’s tall figure appeared in Hua Dong’s room.
Hua Dong glanced at the stern-faced man in front of him and spoke, "Just now, Mr. Huo sent soone to notify that I needed to attend tomorrow’s business in Cambodia, so Hua Han, you’ll go with ."
"Alright."
Hua Han replied indifferently, his tone extrely cold.
Hua Dong had long grown used to this deanor.
Hua Han had always been like this, emanating an air of chill and indifference.
Standing up, Hua Dong approached the man and said.
"Why did Mr. Huo notify before setting off that I also had to go? Big business, you young people can handle it... Besides, Mr. Huo said he and Hua Nuan will go too, Hua Han, do you think there’s any problem with this?"
Hua Han: "..."
Truly a cunning old fox.
Hua Han looked at the man, cautious and worried, long accustod.
Having done so many bad deeds, Hua Dong feared retribution and revenge, so he cautiously guarded against everything.
"Nuannuan has long been longing for the Hua Family’s mbers. Now that she’s finally reunited with them, naturally she expressed to Mr. Huo, hoping he would help with Hua Family’s business. Mr. Huo asked you to attend to strengthen your position and reputation, making it easier for Hua Family to engage in Southeast Asia’s business in the future."
Hua Han lifted his gaze, eting Hua Dong’s without evasion.
These words were just what Hua Nuan had texted him to say earlier.
Hua Nuan predicted that Hua Dong would be suspicious.
And indeed.
Upon hearing this, Hua Dong’s face improved sowhat...
"This explanation makes sense, though Mr. Huo also coming is a bit pressuring. These small businesses, after all, Mr. Huo seldom bothers with."
Hua Ruyi naturally echoed Hua Han’s words, and seeing Hua Dong still doubtful, she couldn’t help but say.
"Dad, it might not be as complicated as you think. Perhaps Nuannuan wants to support you alongside Mr. Huo. Nuannuan is really considerate..."
Hua Ruyi made an extra effort in Hua Han’s presence to act innocent and pure.
Hearing his beloved daughter say this, Hua Dong’s expression softened a bit more, feeling sowhat smug.
"Hmm, I think so too... Now, Nuannuan realizes her uncle’s goodness; I’m very fond of her... Hua Family has long wanted to do business in Southeast Asia, just never had the opportunity. Ha, with Mr. Huo helping, it’s like divine intervention."
Hua Han flashed a cold look at the man in front of him, his eyes briefly glinting.
Hua Ruyi continuously acted innocent before Hua Han, pretending not to understand.
Each of the three harbored their own thoughts.
