Chapter 275 - 159.
The deep, warm voice was soaked with a fondness he himself didn’t realize.Nan Wan turned her head, complaining softly, "I don’t even know who’s making a fuss..."
She happened to just catch it today, otherwise, she might have had to wait forever to find out.
Why send someone away right in front of her?
Isn’t this clearly trying to cover up?
Today, Mrs. Mu might have been so angry she was befuddled, but she was holding it in with nowhere to release, so her inner drama was extremely rich, almost written all over her face.
Mu Jin Huan chuckled helplessly, "I might not find any free time in the next few days, after spending the Spring Festival with you, I’ll take a trip to the United States."
He held her soft, boneless hand to his lips and kissed it, his voice carrying a low, hoarse laugh, "She won’t be wandering in front of my eyes every day, you’re not mad anymore, hmm?"
This feeling of being seen through in an instant was very unpleasant, Nan Wan awkwardly pulled her hand back, her eyes darting around, not wanting to say a word.
It was her first time in Mu Jin Huan’s office, apart from when she casually glanced while he was eating, she hadn’t looked carefully again.
It was somewhat similar to the study at the North Shore Villa.
After looking at the ceiling, she looked at the desk, after the desk she looked at the coffee table, trying to use these to divert her attention.
Not getting a response, Mu Jin Huan’s rough fingertip slowly stroked the woman’s shoulder, his voice more and more lingering, "Still not satisfied?"
Across the excellent fabric of the coat, with a sweater inside, Nan Wan couldn’t actually feel much, but that tone, unlike the usual one, was enough to make her...
Lowering her head slightly, "...Hmm."
The fur of the ruffled cat was smoothed, Mu Jin Huan curved his lips, tightened his arm, but before he could kiss the woman’s lips, the vibration of the phone in her bag rang.
Nan Wan, blushing, pushed him away, frantically took the phone out of her bag, but after seeing the caller ID flashing on the screen, instinctively looked up at him.
Mu Jin Huan had already seen it the moment she took out the phone. He didn’t speak or frown, but... looked at her with eyes that seemed to be smiling but not quite.
The message he was sending was clear, no guesswork needed from Nan Wan: Go ahead and answer, let me see.
Nan Wan didn’t actually do anything, but inexplicably felt guilty, "He rarely calls me, it should be something serious."
"Oh?" Mu Jin Huan crossed his legs, his long fingers leisurely rolling up the sleeves of his shirt, his black eyes slightly closed, emotions not leaking in the slightest, "Do you have something unserious between you two?"
Nan Wan, "..."
It wasn’t until the phone vibrated a second time that she answered it, keeping her head down to avoid looking at the meaningful gaze of the man, "Hello?"
Sheng Boyan’s voice was as gentle as ever, "Are you busy?"
Normally, if the other party didn’t answer, he wouldn’t call a second time, but today was different.
Nan Wan just felt the gaze landing on her cheek growing hotter, as if it was going to pierce through her, her hand unconsciously tightening around the phone.
Maintaining a normal tone, "No."
Sheng Boyan glanced at Sheng Yichen, who still had bandages on his head, and said with a gentle smile, "Someone wants to thank you in person, but can’t bring themselves to, so they’re asking me to arrange a meeting."
Nan Wan was stunned for a few seconds, but then guessed it must be the proud Sheng, "No need for thanks, just as long as next time he sees me, he doesn’t keep glaring at me."
Sheng Boyan never forced her, paused for a moment, then said, "Alright, I’ll tell him."
Sheng Yichen leaned lazily against the hospital bed, even wearing hospital clothes couldn’t hide his unruly, roguish demeanor, and said, "What do you all like about her?"
He said ’you all’, not ’you’.
Sheng Boyan’s action of pouring water only paused for half a second, he placed the cup on the cabinet beside the hospital bed, his gentle features revealing no emotional fluctuations, simply saying, "Don’t always give her trouble."
Apart from other flaws, Sheng Yichen still understood the principle of not repaying good with evil, "She saved my life, no matter how much of a jerk I am, I won’t keep bullying those little nurses into giving her a hard time."
The second day after he woke up, his dear father told him that Doctor Nan had fished him out of the icy, bone-chilling river, while she herself almost died in that moat.
