...
Hua Nuan gathered her thoughts, suppressing the unease in her heart, and then allowed the man to carry her step by step toward the front.
In fact, the road ahead was still long, and carrying her back to the villa would be very tiring for Huo Zun.
Yet the man didn't utter a single word.
...
The journey that originally took 30 minutes by car took Huo Zun three full hours on foot.
During that time, Hua Nuan wanted to persuade the man multiple times not to carry her anymore, but the man insisted on doing so.
Xiaobai, on the other hand, lazily slept in the back seat.
Finally, they reached the Huo Family estate, and before Hua Nuan could speak, the butler took the initiative to speak.
"Mr. Huo, please take a rest."
"No need, I'm not tired. Please arrange for dinner."
"Yes, sir."
Hua Nuan watched the man's tall figure move ahead of her, then picked up Xiaobai and cradled him in her arms. Watching the little creature lazily in her arms, she chuckled softly.
