Nan Yu silently sent the address to Chen Li, her head bowed as she tapped on the smartphone screen, replying to Song Yingqing’s message.
Beside her, the sound of Huo Juanyan flipping through documents filled the air, and at the tip of her nose was the cold scent of snowy woods, which inevitably made her feel drowsy.
She rubbed her eyes and leaned back to alleviate her fatigue, turning her head to look at Huo Juanyan.
She could just make out the left side of his face that wasn’t covered by the mask.
The left side of his face had sharp contours, with perfectly chiseled jawlines, a straight nose, eyes deep as ink, and thin lips slightly pursed, all exuding an aura of indifference.
If his right face weren’t injured, he would probably be a very handsome man.
Just looking at his aura, and comparing it to her husband whom she had met only once and whose features were now a bit blurry in her memory, she felt there was some resemblance, the same cold and aloofness.
However, this man with his noble identity was the head of the Huo Family, one of the top four elite families in A City, and the right side of his face under the mask was all scarred.
He could never be her lesser family’s affluent husband; they were worlds apart.
Nan Yu withdrew her gaze and cast it outside, wondering to herself.
"What could he be doing now? It’s been a month since we got married, and it seems I’ve never even seen him."
Huo Juanyan appeared to notice that Nan Yu’s gaze had faded away, and without a sound, he slightly lifted his eyelids and looked towards her.
Seeing her furrow her attractive brows like a curious baby, staring fixedly at the buildings flashing by outside.
The colorful lights fell on her fair and pretty face, and a few stray hairs at her temples fluttered, teasing the pearl earrings at her earlobes into motion.
The shifting lights and shadows coated her with a soft glow, as beautiful as a painting.
Huo Juanyan watched the face that resembled Nan Qingqing by 70%, unable to comprehend why two such similar-looking individuals could have characters so vastly different.
His disdain for Nan Qingqing stemmed from the bottom of his heart, yet he couldn’t bring himself to dislike this Nan Yu; his restless soul even found some peace because of her.
Huo Juanyan closed his eyes, leaned back in the back seat, and then suddenly caught a faint scent from Nan Yu’s body, which dispelled all fatigue.
Like a spell of sleep, he soon fell into a deep slumber.
Chen Li dropped Nan Yu off at the door and was about to speak when, through the rear-view mirror, she saw Huo Juanyan asleep and stood frozen in surprise.
President Huo was always on his guard, never sleeping in the car or near strangers, especially since he had trouble sleeping and the slightest noise could wake him.
But now he wasn’t just asleep; he was deep in slumber!
Chen Li looked towards Nan Yu, ghost-faced, and asked in a lowered voice, "How did you make President Huo fall asleep?"
In a soft voice, Nan Yu said, "I didn’t do anything; he must have been tired from working and fell asleep on his own."
Chen Li narrowed her eyes at Nan Yu, but seeing her natural expression, she did not seem to be lying.
She withdrew her probing gaze and whispered a reminder, "Dr. Nan, we have arrived at your home, please get out of the car."
Nan Yu cautiously stepped out, careful not to wake Huo Juanyan, "Then I’ll head back, and when he wakes up, please thank him for me, goodbye."
After speaking, she waved goodbye to Chen Li.
Chen Li nodded as a response and then drove Huo Juanyan back home.
Meanwhile, Nan Yu watched them leave before entering the community and heading to Song Yingqing’s house.
Today she had confirmed that the vice president was Gu Chuxin and had some things she wanted to discuss in detail with Yingqing.
She would return to the Huo Family after their conversation.
Elsewhere.
While driving, Chen Li received a call from Xia Xing.
She put on her headset and answered the call.
"Secretary Chen, the matriarch sent a message asking you to make sure to take President Huo to that villa in the South District, he will stay there tonight."
