Assistant to My Contracted Husband

Chapter 1931 - 429: Wife Protects Husband

Having the little darling protect him, his heart feels warm."You... Hua Nuan, you’re too much."

"Who exactly is overstepping, I think the old lady knows very well in her heart."

Hua Nuan shrugged her lips lightly; back then, she had warned Isabella in the café that she would lose Huo Zun, and facts proved that indeed the woman made it happen.

Her previous warning was now becoming a reality.

"Hubby, aren’t you going to work now, it’s getting late, right... I want to be on time for work, this punctual habit is very important, the old lady will surely understand, so, let’s head out first."

After saying this, Hua Nuan immediately linked arms with Huo Zun, her lips curving upwards, ignoring Isabella’s livid face as they walked straight out towards the front door.

Isabella was so furious she threw the water cup from the sofa directly onto the floor.

The butler, seeing Isabella’s angry demeanor, hesitated, uncertain whether to step forward.

Xiaobai meowed loudly at Isabella once, full of warning, then swished its tail and left.

"Now even the cat bullies me, butler, what exactly are you doing?"

"This... old lady, Xiaobai is raised by the madam, very gentle in nature, it must be a misunderstanding, I will arrange someone who understands cat language to communicate with Xiaobai."

The butler’s face bore a formulaic smile, the smile not reaching his eyes, making one feel irritated.

Isabella couldn’t vent the anger in her heart, could only leave sullenly.

Furious to death.

...

Hua Nuan sat in the car, feeling rather pleased, mainly because Isabella was frustrated.

Huo Zun, looking at the woman’s uplifted lips, squinted his blue eyes.

"Why so happy?"

"Just fought back against the old lady, because she bullied my husband."

"Hmm."

Though Huo Zun responded enchantingly, it wasn’t difficult to sense the joy within the man’s heart.

Hua Nuan’s smile grew even more vibrant.

"Hubby, don’t worry, I’ll protect you from now on."

"Okay."

Huo Zun raised his hand to pinch the woman’s nose tip, affection overflowing.

...

Hua Nuan accompanied Huo Zun directly to the company’s laboratory; shortly after entering, Huo Zun soon went to hold a meeting.

Without Huo Zun in the lab, Hua Nuan felt a bit dull, and casually wandered into other labs.

Since everyone was wearing white lab coats, no one recognized Hua Nuan.

"Have you heard? Recently, multiple company directors are planning to dump the company’s stocks."

"Yeah, after all, the company isn’t doing well now; the anti-cancer drug was supposed to be released here first, but Huo Si beat us to it."

"..."

Listening to the murmured discussions, Hua Nuan pursed her lips, and seeing the unease in everyone, tentatively spoke: "Wonder if Huo Si has come headhunting?"

"Ah, haven’t you received it? We all got it."

The researcher beside Hua Nuan, hearing her, curiously asked.

"Uh, I’m new here, so haven’t received anything."

"Europe’s lab issued high-priced invitations to everyone here, you must have one, probably just got overlooked."

Hua Nuan: "..."

Sent to everyone?

Ha, these are sneaky little tricks.

Bridge-burning.

Using Huo Zun’s resources, and after benefiting from him, turning the tables isn’t enough, they even want to push Huo Zun into a dead-end.

Hua Nuan’s eyes turned cold, and, pursing her lips, asked: "What have you all decided?"

"Still hesitating, followed Mr. Huo for so many years, and that Huo Si, feels like a kid, not reliable, but it seems to be the trend now, after all, the anti-cancer drug is coming out tomorrow."

"Yeah, I thought the same way, everyone here does."

"By the way, what’s your opinion?"

The researcher beside Hua Nuan, noticing her somewhat distracted look, curiously asked.

Hua Nuan pursed her lips, pretending to inquire worriedly: "I’m new here, not clear, but this anti-cancer drug, I’ve heard Europe’s subsidiary has been researching for a whole 3 years, and didn’t release results, how come Huo Si released it within three days, isn’t it odd... wondering if it’s shoddy."

Hua Nuan’s feigned puzzled expression coincidentally pointed out ideas to some.

The crowd immediately murmured amongst themselves.

"Say, it’s possible, I have friends in the European Company who said previously Mr. Huo refused to launch the product due to the dependency on Western medicine."

"Yes, and the side effects too."
