Last night at the National Mansion, we parted on less than friendly terms, and now, visiting in person, Huo Zun brought so gifts as a formality, while Hong En expressed his deep honor at Huo Zun’s visit.
After all, not just anyone has the privilege of a visit from Huo Zun.
This is definitely an honor for him.
"Mr. Huo, Mrs. Huo, I apologize for not welcoming you from afar."
"Hmm, you’re too kind."
Hua Nuan’s lips curved into a slight smile, but Huo Zun remained aloof, towering and self-assured, as if he was long used to n bowing before him.
Hua Nuan found this quite distasteful, unable to tolerate how Huo Zun always carried himself like a king, like nobility.
"It’s my duty, Mr. Huo, please, co inside."
"Hmm."
Hong En didn’t mind at all Huo Zun’s lack of cordiality and directly invited Huo Zun and Hua Nuan into the living room, paying no attention to Hua Han behind him.
Once Huo Zun appeared, like a king, everyone’s focus would be solely on him, ignoring all others.
Hua Han: "..."
Wherever Hua Han went, he was always soone important, except in front of Hua Dong.
In front of Huo Zun, he was completely ignored, treated with indifference.
Hua Han clenched his fist tighter, the anger in his heart roaring uncontrollably, almost burning him up entirely.
Huo Zun, just wait...
Sooner or later, he’ll make Huo Zun pay back with interest.
...
Huo Zun and Hua Nuan entered the living room. Having been accustod to both European and Chinese architecture, Hua Nuan found the local Cambodian architectural style quite intriguing.
Though not as luxurious as back ho, it had its own unique charm.
Every place has its own customs.
Well, indigenous cultures are often foundational.
After appreciating the architecture, Hua Nuan took the initiative to say, "General Hong, I’ve co today specifically to check on my dear sister. How is Sister Ruyi doing?"
Hua Nuan’s smile was bright, yet exuded a dangerous aura, sending chills down one’s spine.
Having witnessed the formidable spirit beneath the woman’s petite fra yesterday, Hong En was sowhat on edge.
This woman is the big boss!
"Mrs. Huo, rest assured, Hua Ruyi has been well taken care of. The bullet in her calf has been removed. Well, because of limited anesthesia, we didn’t use it. I hope Mrs. Huo won’t be angry with ."
Hua Nuan: "..."
A talent indeed.
A kindred spirit indeed.
eting too late indeed.
Hua Nuan’s eyes lit up, as she found Hong En’s thod precisely to her liking.
Unable to contain herself, Hua Nuan’s eyes narrowed with a smile, and she said, "Well, it’s fine, I don’t think General Hong did it on purpose. My sister is very resilient and understands the bigger picture, so she won’t bla General Hong at all. Oh, what am I saying? In a few days, she’ll be a sister-in-law. Brother-in-law, you wouldn’t refuse to marry my sister as a concubine just because of her leg, would you?"
Hong En: "..."
Such a daunting boss, with such destructive power.
Hong En swallowed, finding Hua Nuan even more intimidating.
Truly frightening.
He’s already soone used to grand scenes, yet encountering such a sharp-tongued young lady, he only felt a constant chill down his spine.
Forcing a smile, Hong En spoke with a beaming face.
"How could I, of course... of course I wouldn’t mind. It would be an honor for Mrs. Huo to call brother-in-law."
Watching the man’s smug deanor, Hua Nuan’s lips curled into a faint sneer.
Ha...
Upon entering Hong En’s ho, she saw that Hong En indeed had no shortage of concubines.
It was said that those with official status numbered over ten.
As for those outside, they’re countless.
Tsk tsk tsk...
The more n love to kill, the more their nature sotis needs release.
Thus, Hong En’s ruthlessness and love for won were well-known.
In Hong En’s household, there was no good end for won; those abandoned were directly given to his subordinates.
Hua Nuan squinted her beautiful eyes, pulling her lips back into a faint smile as she spoke.
"Then General Hong, please bring Sister Ruyi out. I’ve specifically co to see her today... Hmm, if her leg’s broken and walking is inconvenient, she can crawl..."
Hua Nuan smiled brightly and then turned to Huo Zun beside her, speaking.
"Mr. Huo, what do you think?"
Huo Zun: "..."
Being called on, Huo Zun’s lips curled into a seductive smile.
Hmm, Hua Nuan handled it excellently, leaving no need for him to say any unnecessary words.
