"Ah Nuan, I'm fine."
Huo Jue reached out and held Wen Xia Nuan's hand: "Grandpa is doing this for your own good."
"But......."
Wen Xia Nuan raised her head and looked at Huo Jue: "This is not fair to you!"
She spoke in a rage, then softened her tone again: "The unfair treatment you suffered today was simply because my grandfather wanted to test you. Huo Jue, aren't you angry?"
Huo Jue was silent. How could he not be angry? Especially when the old man asked about his family background, it was like opening his own wounds for everyone present to see.
He really couldn't accept this.
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue, her eyes also mixed with a bit of uneasiness: "Ajue?"
Huo Jue came back to his senses and curled his lips: "Since all these things were done to test me, my reaction just now was naturally angry. Ah Nuan, now that this matter has been resolved, let's not mention it again."
He smiled reassuringly and said, "Anyway, it has a good ending, that's enough."
Wen Xia Nuan felt relieved, but looking at her grandfather's expression, she still disapproved: "Grandpa, I just hope this only happens once. If something like this happens again in the future, I hope it won't happen again."
Her expression was serious, and the old man responded, "Okay, I know you care about him. Grandpa won't make trouble anymore in the future."
Wen Xia Nuan could see that her grandfather was a little sad when he said these words.
She was silent for a moment, then quickly said, "No, that's not what I meant."
The old man waved his hand instead, looked at Huo Jue and said, "Ajue, I hope you can come into the house with me again."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him nervously again, and the old man laughed: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to him this time."
When he said this, Wen Xia Nuan's face flushed: "Grandpa, I didn't mean that."
Regardless of whether he meant so or not, Huo Jue finally followed the old man into the house.
The study door was closed.
Old Master Wen sat in a chair and looked at Huo Jue: "I really hope you don't take what I said to you today to heart."
"Ajue, I can see that you are a proud child, but A Nuan has indeed been spoiled by our family. If I don't test her a little, how can I trust her to you?"
Every word the old man said touched Huo Jue's heart.
Facing him at this moment, he naturally couldn't say anything else.
"I understand your concerns. After all, Ah Nuan was raised in a pampered environment."
"It would be great if you could understand, Huo Jue. Since you're still studying, I'd like to ask you a question."
"What exactly are you going to do when you finish your studies?"
Huo Jue was stunned and looked at the old man: "I have told Ah Nuan about this before. I also want to go into trade when I come out."
Mr. Wen didn't expect to hear this answer. Trade is indeed a big cake in the future.
He looked at the young man in front of him and no longer dared to look down on him.
Old Master Wen remained silent. Huo Jue, still somewhat concerned, asked, "Grandpa, is this not possible?"
"Of course."
Old Master Wen came back to his senses, looked at him and said with a smile: "You have chosen a very good industry, and this industry is indeed very promising."
"Since you and A Nuan have discussed this, I will not interfere in this matter."
"Huo Jue, I hope you can protect Ah Nuan in the future."
"I've said everything I need to say. Please go out first, otherwise A Nuan will be worried."
Huo Jue bowed and walked out of the study.
Just as the old man had said, Wen Xia Nuan had been waiting in the corridor. When she saw Huo Jue come out, she hurried over to him, "What's going on?"
Her eyes fell on him, and the concern in her eyes was noticeable: "Ajue, Grandpa didn't say anything else to you, right?"
Wen Xia Nuan looked at him with burning eyes, desperately wanting an answer.
Huo Jue chuckled, his eyes falling on Wen Xia Nuan. Before he could say anything, Wen Xia Nuan hit him: "What are you laughing at? I'm asking you!"
Wen Xia Nuan frowned: "Is it time for you to laugh now?"
"A Nuan, this matter is not as serious as you think. Grandpa called me in just to say something to me."
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan seriously, but Wen Xia Nuan couldn't help but mutter a few words: "If he only wanted to talk to you, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
"You don't know my grandfather's temper. Now that I'm talking to you nicely, I think he's really pleased with you."
Huo Jue responded, "Now that you know he's satisfied with me, can you rest assured?"
Wen Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment, then she reached out and slapped him in annoyance: "Huo Jue, you've learned to play tricks on me now, right?"
"I'm so worried about you."
Wen Xia Nuan's cursing voice came, and Huo Jue looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "A Nuan, you are slandering me now. How dare I play tricks with you when you say these words?"
He looked at Wen Xia Nuan with grievance, and Wen Xia Nuan snorted coldly: "I know what you are thinking. If you try to play tricks on me, I guarantee you will lose miserably!"
"Yes, yes, of course I know you have many people protecting you, so naturally I wouldn't dare do anything bad to you now."
Huo Jue's eyes fell on her and he said with a smile, "Ah Nuan, just like what you said, my feelings for you are real, even my respect for you is real."
Wen Xia Nuan looked at Huo Jue seriously. She thought a lot, but in the end she still squeezed out a sentence: "Huo Jue, I will never let my family bully you in the future."
She knew the difficulties Huo Jue had gone through along the way, and she also knew how difficult the relationship between them was.
All that had happened now was enough to make Wen Xia Nuan feel guilty. Looking at Huo Jue, she said, "You really don't have to be so nice to me in the future. On the contrary, I really want to be better to you, even better!"
Huo Jue looked at Wen Xia Nuan, and his heart softened: "Ah Nuan, tell me, are you stupid?"
Wen Xia Nuan's eyes fell on Huo Jue. She sniffed and said, "I'm not the stupid one, it's you. Huo Jue, how stupid can you be to follow me to my house and get questioned? And then you come to comfort me and say everything is fine?"
Wen Xia Nuan finally couldn't help but let the tears fall at this moment: "I am sorry for this matter."
