On the day the exam ended, I got on a plane to the United Kingdom with Huo Zun.

Coming to the United Kingdom, Hua Nuan always felt somewhat like an awkward daughter-in-law about to meet her parents-in-law.

Though she’d previously met Huo Zun’s grandmother, Isabella, she had never seen Huo Zun’s father.

To be honest, Hua Nuan wasn’t particularly interested in the Huo Family.

It’s just that Isabella held some significance in Huo Zun’s heart.

After all, she was his beloved grandmother.

Hua Nuan raised her hand to rub her temples, feeling sleepy after finishing the last science subject - chemistry. Huo Zun reached over and pulled her into his arms.

"Sleep."

"Okay."

Hua Nuan clearly sensed the man’s entire aura was somewhat subdued, as if his mood wasn’t high.

Having been by his side for long enough, Hua Nuan had gained some experience in catching the man’s mood.

"Huo Zun, do you have something on your mind?"

"No."

"Liar."

Hua Nuan effortlessly exposed the man’s thoughts, causing Huo Zun to narrow his blue eyes slightly. His thin lips curved upwards as he raised a hand to pinch her cheek and said, "Mrs. Huo has learned to care for others now—it’s nice, a good sign. So, have you fallen for me?"

Hua Nuan: "..."

Such a tease.

Listening to him talking about love, Hua Nuan didn’t respond but raised an eyebrow and said, "Huo Zun, what I feel from you now is indeed... a very low mood."

When the woman was serious, her eyes were clear and bright, exuding an indescribable earnestness. Huo Zun pursed his lips, knowing he couldn’t hide it from Hua Nuan.

"Yeah, I don’t want to see that man... who gave me life but sees me as the family’s disgrace. Clearly, this is all what he brought upon me and my mother."

Hua Nuan’s eyes widened slightly. Although the man didn’t name names, he was clearly referring to his own father.

She knew a bit about what had happened back then.

Noble men mostly have cunning schemes. Seeing a young, beautiful Chinese girl, they intend to seduce her, lead a wild night, leave behind a child, and once they’ve turned back, utterly forget the vows they made in passion and marry a noblewoman.

In the end, the family deteriorated. Although they had offspring, none compared to the abandoned illegitimate child.

Now, relying on the success of the illegitimate child, the family has re-emerged.

Yet again they began to honorably call said illegitimate child a Royal Family heir.

Actually... it’s genuinely not a complaint.

Given Huo Zun’s current wealth, he could crush the so-called Royal Family heir a thousand times over.

Hearing this, Hua Nuan stretched out her small hand to hold the man’s large hand, pressing her lips slightly.

"Don’t dwell on those unhappy things, Huo Zun. You always teach me not to dwell on the past events or my father’s death. So why, now that I wish to return to reason, are you caught up in it?"

Clearly just a barely adult young girl, reasoning with him so conscientiously, Huo Zun’s thin lips curved up, gazing at the dazzling eyes of the young girl, like gemstones, and couldn’t help but look for another moment.

The woman’s eyes were very pure, which was why Huo Zun often liked to gaze at her eyes, to clear his mind.

Some matters, those involved are confused while onlookers see clearly.

Thus Huo Zun could persuade Hua Nuan to move on from Hua Kun’s incident in the past, while he has always been caught in his own.

Yang Ruo’s death left Huo Zun unable to let go of the grievances against the Huo Family over the years.

"Hmm, Little Nuannuan, are you lecturing me now? Hmm?"

The man’s "hmm" was full of seductive undertone; hearing it made Hua Nuan’s cheeks burn intensely. After a long while, she muttered, "I wouldn’t dare; you’re a Royal Family heir, while I’m just an orphan girl. You... are significant in the business world, but me, I’m just a senior-high student, virtually penniless, so I wouldn’t presume."

"The entire Hua Family’s assets have all transferred under your name now, Little Nuannuan. You’re now truly a little rich lady."

In fact, this wealth didn’t really interest Hua Nuan.

For even if the Hua Family were wealthy enough to rival nations.

In her view... it wasn’t what she wanted, because Hua Kun was no longer alive.

Hua Nuan’s heart was stirred with unusual emotions, she pressed her lips and said, "Then can I keep you as a lover, Huo Zun?"

"Clearly..."

Huo Zun bent down, kissed her lips, traced the curve of her delicate lip corner, his Adam’s apple moving a bit.

"Sometimes... I feel as if I have nothing, but I still have you."

It seems that in the relationship with Hua Nuan, it’s Hua Nuan relying on him to live, but in reality, it’s his life that cannot do without her.

Her presence warmed his cold life.

Hua Nuan was somewhat dazed by his words. In her memory, this was the first time Huo Zun lowered his posture like this. Unable to resist, Hua Nuan raised her hand to wrap it around the man’s neck.
