Chapter 312 - 171. Mu Jin Huan, let’s get a divorce._4
Nan Wan’s hand had just gripped the doorknob when the bedroom door was opened from the inside. She looked up to meet the man’s gaze, his dark eyes still carrying a trace of the morning’s drowsy confusion.She curved her lips into a smile, "You’re awake, huh? Why aren’t you wearing slippers?"
Mu Jin Huan gazed at the woman’s gentle and charming face for a long moment before looking down at his bare feet directly on the wooden floor.
He said flatly, "I forgot."
Of course, Nan Wan didn’t believe this, but she said nothing. He stood immobile at the doorway while she pushed the door open further and walked into the bedroom.
She took his slippers and placed them at his feet, straightened up, gave him an amused glance, and went to the wardrobe to get his clothes.
"I didn’t go anywhere, just downstairs to make you breakfast."
Mu Jin Huan slipped into his slippers, walked over, and hugged Nan Wan from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder.
His voice was husky with the remnants of sleep, "Why didn’t you wake me?"
"You’re jet-lagged, slept late last night, what’s the point of waking you so early?"
Nan Wan’s body was turned around by the man holding her waist. She seemed to know what he wanted to do, and before he could lean in for a kiss, she naturally pushed him towards the bathroom.
With a smile, she urged him, "Alright, alright, hurry up. Otherwise, I’ll be late for work."
Mu Jin Huan wouldn’t truly grant her wish, grabbed her back into his arms, lifted her chin, and bent down for a deep kiss.
Finally, he nibbled gently at her chin, "I’ll drive you; we won’t be late."
————
Mu Jin Huan kept his word; even after some delay at home, he didn’t make Nan Wan late.
With too many matters awaiting him at the company, he didn’t linger long at the hospital.
After Nan Wan took a few steps, he pulled her back for a public kiss on the lips.
The adoration and tenderness in his dark eyes were profound, his voice low and gentle, "I won’t have time to join you for lunch, don’t overwork yourself."
Nan Wan nodded, blushing, "I understand, you should hurry to the office."
The passersby all had eyes to see. The Mu Family president personally escorted Mrs. Mu to work; the affection was evident, dispelling any rumors effortlessly.
Shen Zhimei had taken an extended leave, arranging for Nan Ze’s previous attending doctor to meet with Zhao Shaonian, a Chinese-American physician she invited from the United States, at the café across from the hospital.
Due to work, Nan Wan could only squeeze in a quick visit.
Zhao Shaonian, in his fifties, wore glasses and had some gray hair, his demeanor gentle.
When Shen Zhimei asked how confident he was, he replied, "There’s no doctor in the world who dares claim they’re 100% certain they can cure someone."
Being in the same profession, it was naturally understood.
Under the table, Shen Zhimei’s hand on her lap was held by Nan Wan. She turned her head to look at Nan Wan, both of their eyes calm.
They exchanged a smile.
Turning to Zhao Shaonian, she spoke with grace and warmth, "Then... I’ll entrust my husband to you, Doctor Zhao."
Zhao Shaonian nodded steadily, "As long as they’re my patient, I’ll do my utmost."
After the meeting, Nan Wan walked Shen Zhimei to the parking lot, telling her before she got into the car, "During the third brother’s surgery, I’ll be with you."
Shen Zhimei, in a good mood, cast a sidelong glance at her, "Of course, did you think you could escape me? Wishful thinking!"
Nan Wan laughed, "Get some good rest, I’m headed back to work."
"Understood."

Nan Wan finished work on time, and only waited ten minutes before Mu Jin Huan’s car arrived.
Jintian Restaurant only opens in the evening, located on the top floor of a thirty-seven-story building where everything except the floor is made of glass.
It’s famous because of the love story of the restaurant’s owner and his wife.
Love at first sight couldn’t withstand destiny; after his wife died of cancer, he opened this restaurant from where one can see the stars fill the sky.
Nan Wan had booked their table two days in advance, so the view and lighting were excellent, making the stars seem within reach.
After the final dessert course arrived, Nan Wan took only a single bite.
Mu Jin Huan didn’t care for sweets, sipping his red wine as he watched her set down her spoon, then asked, "Are you full?"
"Mm, I’m full," Nan Wan replied, taking two sips of water and wiping her mouth.
She took a small, black brocade box from her bag, which contained the necklace with a red bean pendant he gave her on her birthday, and then removed the wedding ring from her finger, placing both in front of Mu Jin Huan.
Finally, she took out the signed divorce agreement and handed it over.
"Mu Jin Huan, let’s get a divorce."
