Chapter 274 - 159. ’Wanwan, I am jealous,’ he paused, then repeated once more, ’very jealous.
The man’s dark eyes were like a bottomless deep pool, "Thirdly, Sheng Boyan has known you for many years before I did. He is, besides Lu Li, a man who holds a significant place in your heart.""Wanwan, I’m jealous," he paused, then repeated once more, "very jealous."
The man’s voice seemed to strike right at Nan Wan’s heart, an irresistible heartache.
Is this really Mu Jin Huan, who remained unfazed seeing her and her ’ex-husband’ alone in a room late at night?
She lowered her head, avoiding his hypnotic dark eyes, pursed her lips, and asked lightly, "What are you jealous of? Can’t I have the most basic social interactions?"
Mu Jin Huan lifted her chin, not allowing her to escape, "But he likes you."
Nan Wan looked at the handsome face so close to hers and sneered, "If I gave you the slightest reason to suspect, and you indirectly nagged me every day, I wouldn’t have a word to say, but you’re this jealous without any evidence, then I..."
"What else are you planning for me to catch a hint of?" Mu Jin Huan interrupted her with a stern face, "Hugging and kissing?"
Nan Wan’s face immediately turned cold, she slapped away the hand on her chin, increasing the distance between them, "I have things to do this afternoon, if you can’t help, just say so."
The office fell into silence for a full minute.
"Can’t help," three indifferent words echoed in her ears.
Nan Wan’s hand tightened on her knee, but her expression remained unchanged. She picked up the bag on the sofa and stood up to leave.
However, she had just gotten up and was about to take a step when she was pulled back onto the leather sofa.
"Can’t help..." a deep voice tinged with hidden laughter whispered in her ear, "How could that be?"
What was he laughing at?
Nan Wan was actually thrown onto the man; apart from the sudden discomfort from the loss of balance, she didn’t bump or hit anywhere else.
She closed her eyes and pried at the big hand clasped around her waist, "I don’t need your help, I’ll find someone else."
Like a cat with bristled fur but holding back from getting angry.
"Alright, alright, don’t move anymore," Mu Jin Huan had no intention of letting her go, his body reacting to her squirming, his voice low and helpless, "You’re upset, so I wanted to tease you a bit, don’t be mad, hmm?"
Mrs. Mu’s patient and awkward character didn’t form overnight; she might have been like this since childhood, so dealing with her with coldness would be counterproductive, and he needed to take a detour.
Nan Wan was already furious, naturally refusing to listen, "I’m not upset, let go."
Mu Jin Huan sighed with a smile, controlling the wriggling woman in his arms with one hand, while the other took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
Once connected, he got straight to the point, "Is there a vacancy for an idle person at your company?"
On the other end, Huo Yihan had just escaped the clinginess of a socialite, leaning back in his chair and closing his eyes for a break, he lazily retorted, "Isn’t my money still money, meant for feeding layabouts?"
Mu Jin Huan also realized he hadn’t phrased it well, unusually patient as he explained, "Not someone who does nothing all day, nor someone who’s idle, but someone indispensable."
Huo Yihan’s company indeed had such positions.
With long fingers twirling a luxury pen, his narrow eyes narrowed, teasing with a hint of a smile, "You’re not messing around behind our Doctor Nan’s back and afraid of getting caught in the act, are you, so you’re sending someone to hide with me?"
Mu Jin Huan had turned on the speakerphone, so Nan Wan could hear clearly.
She let out a faint cold laugh.
Huo Yihan curved his lips, becoming more improper, "Oh, still have her with you? Tsk tsk tsk, President Mu, have you finally had your governor and conception vessels activated, and now you’re only keeping an eye on your wife?"
That disdainful yet proud cold laughter could only belong to Doctor Nan herself...
Mu Jin Huan was too lazy to argue, his face dark as he asked one last time, "Do you have it or not?"
Huo Yihan dropped his feigned provocative tone, returning to normal, "I do, but you have to tell me who it is. I can’t handle some pampered lady who needs to be cradled. You better keep her for yourself."
The person in his arms seemed to have run out of strength, her struggles and resistance had momentarily ceased, so Mu Jin Huan loosened his grip on her slender waist, and casually said two words, "Qinglu."
Huo Yihan seemed to understand, "Just let her come find me."
"Alright," Mu Jin Huan responded and hung up the call, casually tossing the phone aside on the sofa, pinching the woman’s smooth cheek, "Still want to fuss?"
