Chapter 235 - 148. Do you really like me?_3
The tone was not high, but the words were clear, "Get rich overnight."Mu Jin Huan, "..."
Did he not give her the card, or did he not tell her the password?
With a face devoid of expression, "Mrs. Mu, can’t you have a bit of aspiration?"
Nan Wan stretched lazily, deliberately drawing out her words, "I can’t help it. Your big brother deducted all my salary. Working for free is one thing, but he often exploits my off-duty time. The only way to feel it’s worthwhile is to get rich quick."
Mu Jin Huan chuckled, voice neutral, "If you didn’t do those questionable things, big brother wouldn’t have the right to deduct your salary so arbitrarily."
Nan Wan understood, he was referring to Lu Li.
In the past six months, everything she did was enough reason to get fired.
It was Mu Jinqian who kept protecting her, and deducting her salary was just to shut the others up.
If third brother hadn’t had an accident, he would have dealt with her long ago.
"We’re not from the same era, I won’t blame you for not understanding."
The little thing about first love, for boys it’s timid, but for girls, it’s brave.
Not everyone is like this, but... she is.
Mu Jin Huan frowned, his voice unfriendly, "Do you find me old?"
Nan Wan gathered her long hair to one side, combing it with her fingers, smiling faintly, "Don’t you know? Compared to the cookie-cutter young guys, mature men are more appealing now."
So the implication is she does think he’s old?
Mu Jin Huan coldly laughed twice, pressed the gas pedal, and the black Maybach sped down the concrete road so fast that the dust hadn’t risen before the car was fifty meters away.
Nan Wan thought his smiling yet non-smiling expression was quite creepy.
Buildings outside the car window raced past, her stomach feeling a bit queasy, she asked in a low voice, "Can you slow down a bit?"
Mu Jin Huan’s face was expressionless, the light and shadows playing over his chiseled features, accentuating the cold and stern, "If we’re late and don’t see the meteor, don’t blame me."
It’s just the expert’s predicted time, whether it actually happens is uncertain, after all, Nan Wan has lived so many years and hasn’t seen a single one yet.
"... But I’m dizzy."
Mu Jin Huan turned the steering wheel, "If you’re dizzy, talk less."
His voice was just as indifferent as before, yet he quietly reduced the speed.
Nan Wan cooperated well, not saying another word.
When the car reached the halfway point of Zijin Mountain, it was half-past eleven, and there were no wider roads to let the car pass through.
It seemed like there were many people here to watch the meteor shower, and all the parking spaces were full, so Mu Jin Huan had to park the car by the roadside where it wouldn’t be in the way.
As soon as Nan Wan got out of the car, a gust of cold air slipped into her collar, the temperature on the mountain was lower than in the city, and she sneezed twice in a row.
Mu Jin Huan was only wearing a suit jacket in the car, after getting out, he fetched a coat from the back seat and draped it over the woman.
The coat was heavy and wind-blocking, as Nan Wan looked up at the man’s resolute features, she instinctively wanted to refuse.
However, as soon as her fingers touched the coat collar, before she could take any further action, she heard a deep voice in her ear, "Wear it."
The cold night breeze came in intervals, after one gust, all was quiet again.
A few strands of hair fell in front of Nan Wan’s eyes, slightly obscuring her vision, she pursed her lips and said softly, "You’ll be cold wearing so little. I just got out of the car and am not used to it, walking a bit will make it better."
Mu Jin Huan pulled down the woman’s hand, after buttoning up the coat, his rough hand reached around her neck and gently took her hair out from under the coat, not pulling on her scalp.
His voice low and deep, "I’m a man, I’ve worn short sleeves in the army during the coldest months, I won’t be cold."
"But..."
"If you keep ’butting’, when we reach the top, there might not even be a place to stand," after tidying her long hair, Mu Jin Huan found her cold little hand and grasped it in his palm, his handsome face gentle.
In terms of height, Nan Wan was considered tall for a girl, but wrapped in the coat, she looked small and delicate, making her face appear even more exquisitely beautiful.
After spending so much time together, Nan Wan somewhat understood his habits and preferences.
When he was alone handling business in the study, he never turned on the heat, and at night, when returning to the bedroom to sleep, he wore nothing but inner wear, found it stuffy, and never completely covered himself with the quilt.
But she had a cold constitution, in winter without heating she was practically an ice cube, he knew this, so he accommodated her. From the first day she moved into North Shore Villa until now, the heating had always been turned up high.
