Chapter 280 - 162. Yu Qinglu asked, ’Mu Huan, have you fallen in love with her?
She woke up so quickly, Mu Jin Huan wasn’t surprised at all, as if it was something he had anticipated.Gently pulling her out from under the covers, his fingertips slowly caressing her cheek where the red marks had faded, his deep eyes were gentle, "It’s already five o’clock, if you keep sleeping, you’ll have insomnia tonight."
The sky outside the window had darkened, and the bedroom lights were off. The man was still wearing a shirt, without a tie, making him look a bit less formal than in the workplace.
Nan Wan’s head was a little sore, her fingers pressing against her temples, her voice husky from waking up, "Did you not leave, or did you just come back?"
Mu Jin Huan stroked the woman’s slightly disheveled long hair, "I didn’t leave, I was handling business in the study."
Nan Wan might have just woken up, her mind was a bit muddled, her eyelids still heavy, and her body weak, dragged from the covers by Mu Jin Huan to sit on the bed, she couldn’t hold on for long before collapsing into his arms.
She closed her eyes again, "Are you hungry?"
Aunt Zhou wasn’t there, the cleaning staff would come tomorrow.
"Mm," her soft body instinctively leaned into his embrace, Mu Jin Huan almost instinctively wrapped his arms around her waist, the unique fresh lily scent from her body lingered at his nose, and his voice became even more gentle, "Get dressed, let’s go out to eat."
Nan Wan leaned for a while before pulling away from the man’s embrace, stretching lazily, she lifted the covers and prepared to get out of bed.
She didn’t want to change clothes or go out to eat, "I’d rather cook."
Mu Jin Huan held the woman’s hand, his fingertips stroking the wedding ring on her finger with a low, slow chuckle, "I’ve never grown up being inexplicably punched by someone without fighting back."
The incident in the hospital corridor replayed in her mind, Nan Wan looked up at him, the light was very dim, and the man’s deep eyes seemed to be filled with amusement.
After a long while, she finally smiled lightly and whispered, "So what should I do?"
Sheng Boyan, despite looking like an elegant young master from a prestigious family, had trained in boxing, and that punch clearly wasn’t restrained.
"Nothing to do about it," Mu Jin Huan raised his hand to stroke the woman’s soft long hair, "I did something today that upset you, so let’s call it even."
Hearing this, Nan Wan burst into laughter, she had initially thought he would give her the cold shoulder, "Alright then, I’m quite magnanimous."
Mu Jin Huan really didn’t like it when she gave him the cold shoulder and refused to talk. During those three hours in the study, he hadn’t even finished reading one email.
Compared to that, her smiling face was much more pleasing to his eyes.
The wet wad of cotton stuck in his chest seemed to disappear quietly.
Looking at that pure smiling face, he changed the subject, "You don’t want to go out to eat?"
"Mm, not really," Nan Wan put on her slippers, turned on the bedroom light, and walked to the bathroom.
She found a hair tie and casually tied her long hair at the back of her head, "Aunt Zhou had bought groceries for dinner before she left, I just need a bit of time, can you wait a bit longer?"
The lunch Nan Wan sent to Mu Jin Huan was almost entirely finished by him, it was only five o’clock now, so naturally, he wasn’t hungry.
"You had lunch early, I’m just worried you’re hungry."
Nan Wan looked at him and smiled, "Then I won’t rush, I can take it slow."

"What did you say?" Yu Qinglu couldn’t believe what she heard, her hand holding the mouse turning white.
Liu An cleared his throat and repeated what he said before, "Miss Yu, it’s like this, President Mu said the secretary’s job is very demanding, and there’s a position at Huo Group that suits you well. The salary and benefits are excellent. President Mu has already made arrangements, you can go directly to President Huo."
Yu Qinglu suddenly laughed, her gaze shifting from disbelief to a dazed unfocused look, muttering, "So, he really would do this to me for her..."
Liu An didn’t hear clearly, but didn’t dare to ask, he discreetly glanced over, and even at one meter eighty, he found her despairing smile quite unsettling.
In this warm office, a few drops of cold sweat actually seeped from his forehead.
Liu An quickly turned his eyes back, looking straight ahead, "Well, Miss Yu, you can take a few more days off and report to the Huo Group after the New Year if that’s preferable."
He waited for several minutes, receiving no response, but he had delivered the message, and the rest was out of his hands, he just wanted to leave this place quickly.
"Do you have any other questions, Miss Yu? If not, I’ll get back to work."
Yu Qinglu slowly stood up, her face showing a half-smile, half-sneer, "I have a question, can you solve it?"
Just as expected...
Liu An felt a headache coming on, he took a deep breath, raised his head, his voice neither humble nor pushy, "President Mu is very busy today, he probably won’t have time to see you. If you have any questions, you can tell me first, and if I can’t resolve it, I’ll pass it on to President Mu for you."
