Chapter 204 - 138. I promise that when my wife returns tomorrow, I won’t bother you anymore.
Yu Qinglu, whether genuinely ill or feigning, is an existence that cannot be ignored. If he could abandon her on their wedding night once, he could leave her again in another situation.
She did not want to experience that again, not at all.
"Wanwan, don’t look at others, just look at me and Third Brother, okay?" Shen Zhimei embraced her, her voice low, whispering in her ear, "Four years ago, I loved Jun Yan so much, but Third Brother used his power to keep me by his side. If not for such ’reluctance,’ I wouldn’t have known that love isn’t what I thought it was."
Shen Zhimei released the force around her neck, making her look into her eyes and said word by word for her to hear, "Love is not fulfillment, it’s not sacrifice, it’s not unconditional giving. Love is possessiveness, it’s destruction, it’s damage."
Nan Wan just looked at the person in front of her, her face still gentle and peaceful, her voice as always tender, but the words echoed strangely with Nan Huaiyu, that scoundrel.
Honestly, she wasn’t that noble, nor did she want to wrong herself by giving way to Yu Qinglu. It was just that her affection for that man wasn’t enough to fight for him. But... just letting go like this seemed a bit reluctant.
This uncontrollable emotion was very contradictory, very unfamiliar, very unlike her, making her feel annoyed.
After a long while, she curved her lips into a smile, "My Third Brother taught you a lot."
Shen Zhimei also smiled, "I’m quite generous, willing to share with you the experience of love after marriage."
Shen Zhimei knew better than anyone that Nan Wan was too tolerant and restrained. Lu Li was partly the reason, but more so because of the Nan Family, and... Third Brother.

She couldn’t let her be trapped in the past forever. When Mu Jin Huan came to her side, it was the most appropriate time.
She let go of the unattainable Lu Li, and her heart was empty. And Mu Jin Huan... arrived just in time.
At that banquet, there was no Sheng Boyan nor Lu Li, but there was Mu Jin Huan, and that was Destiny.
The door was not closed, Aunt Jing knocked twice and then went straight in. Seeing the two sitting on the floor, looking at each other and smiling, she felt a bit inexplicable.
But the phone in her hand was still vibrating, so she didn’t ask much, "Miss Nan Wan, your phone is ringing."
Nan Wan’s legs were a bit numb, so she didn’t rush to stand up and still sat there, taking the phone and thanking her, "Thank you."
On the screen, the incoming call showed only one word: Mu.
Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives. If it’s not telepathy, then it’s tacit understanding.
Shen Zhimei saw that the person opposite was just staring at the screen without further action, so she directly leaned over and swiped to answer the call.
Nan Wan glared at her before slowly bringing the phone to her ear, but did not speak first.
Mu Jin Huan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his deep eyes slightly lowered, his voice very low, "At Grandma’s place?"
Nan Wan softly responded, "Mm."
His driver was already in the backyard, knowing she arrived long ago, so was there a need to ask?
The soft winter sunlight crossed the glass, reflecting on Mu Jin Huan’s well-defined features, adding a touch of warmth to him, "I don’t have time to come home for lunch with you, can you come over to accompany me?"
Nan Wan picked up the scattered book pages by her feet, stacked them, and said as always, without much emotion, "I’ve already eaten."
Mu Jin Huan paused for a few seconds before continuing, "Then wait for me to come home and have dinner together."
"I have a night shift, I can’t wait for you."
There was a silence on the other end of the line.
Shen Zhimei, although not hearing what Mu Jin Huan said, could basically guess from Nan Wan’s words that it was the other party who first lowered his head, calling to resolve things with a meal.
She pinched her leg, not holding back at all, then signaled her with her eyes not to be so proud.
Nan Wan, unprepared, inhaled a cold breath with a ’hiss.’
Feeling wronged by the pinch, what she said was the truth, not purposefully putting on airs.
The voice wasn’t loud, but enough for Mu Jin Huan to hear, and his calm deep eyes showed a slight ripple as he asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"
Without thinking, Nan Wan spoke out, "Someone bullied me."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin Huan’s handsome face immediately darkened, and after putting out the cigarette, he took the coat from the back of his chair and walked out of the office, "Wait for me to come over."
Compared to before, the man’s deep voice was noticeably lower by several pitches, and upon hearing it, Nan Wan inexplicably felt a sense of relief, the stifled feeling in her chest dissipating seemingly due to those simple four words.
The originally light tone gained a bit of cheerfulness and liveliness, "Are you going to help me vent my anger?"
Mu Jin Huan, with a cold expression, ignored Secretary Tang who was walking towards him as he strode towards the elevator, "Am I coming over to be bullied with you?"
