Chapter 314 - 172. You are just a lifeline I grabbed in a desperate situation.
"Isn’t this enough?" Nan Wan shook her head and sighed lightly, "Actually, I wanted to divorce a long time ago, but I had to borrow your hand to help my brother get the doctor back, so I endured until now."From the sudden pain in her heart to the flawless smile between her brows, she acted very naturally.
Mu Jin Huan’s eyes remained fixed on that alluring face, his dark eyes incredibly profound.
He took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke, "So, you’ve been pretending this whole time."
Nan Wan nodded, indicating she agreed with what he said.
She curved her lips into a smile, "If I gave you the illusion that ’I fell in love with you’, then I apologize, maybe I’m just too good at acting, after all, even Lu Li says I have great talent."
After she finished speaking, there was a long silence in the air.
Their eyes met directly, neither willing to look away first.
Mu Jin Huan extinguished the cigarette butt, picked up the wedding ring on the table and toyed with it between his fingers, asking leisurely, "Really want a divorce?"
Nan Wan seemed to have lost her patience, her voice somewhat cold, "Repeating the same thing is redundant; I won’t waste your time, don’t waste mine either."
"Do you think this marriage can end just because you want it to?"
Nan Wan shrugged nonchalantly, "That’s why the legal profession exists in this world."
Mu Jin Huan withdrew his gaze, a mysterious smile on his lips, "I’ll be waiting for your lawyer’s letter."
The meaning was clear.
Nan Wan didn’t care, her expression unchanging, "I know you’ve been busy lately, give me a call when it’s convenient, handling the paperwork won’t waste much of your time."
Standing up, she flashed him a slight smile, her tone soft and tender, "Goodbye, Mr. Mu."

Called from a dinner party to Jintian Restaurant by a phone call, Huo Yihan was in a foul mood, rudely pulling out a chair with little elegance.
His gaze swept over the empty Domaine Leroy on the table, "What’s going on?"
Such an impressive wine had already been drunk dry and he was called here just to get a whiff?
Casually throwing his car keys on the table, his voice displeased, "Do you know how much the contract I’m signing tonight is worth?"
Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, leisurely swirling the goblet in his hand, the dark red liquid giving off a rich aroma.
He said flatly, "She wants to divorce me."
Huo Yihan paused for a second, then looked at him, then at the empty wine bottle, so President Mu was... drowning his sorrows?
Incredulously asked, "Did you really sleep with Nan Ze’s wife?"
Otherwise, how could things have been going well, and then Nan Wan suddenly pick a fight with him.
With the fermentation of alcohol, his head aching a bit, Mu Jin Huan frowned, his thin lips spitting out two words, "Get lost!"
Huo Yihan just said it casually, after so many years of friendship, he could somewhat grasp the other’s character.
Shen Zhimei was not only Nan Ze’s wife but also Nan Wan’s best friend. Even putting aside whether he truly loved Nan Wan, he couldn’t be such a bastard.
"Then... is it because Sheng Boyan came back, and after weighing the options, she still felt the senior was better, so she wants to abandon you for a new love?"
But that didn’t seem right either, if Nan Wan and Sheng Boyan had mutual feelings, they would’ve been together already, how could she have ended up with Mu Jin Huan who just arrived in Qing City?
It obviously didn’t make sense either.
Mu Jin Huan placed the wine glass on the table, his long fingers slowly rubbing his temples, his gaze falling on the vast, boundless night sky.
His voice calm, "No."
Huo Yihan waved to call over the waiter and ordered the most expensive wine there, then pointed at the man across from him, "President Mu will foot the bill."
The waiter bowed politely, "Okay, Mr. Huo."
Huo Yihan sipped his wine, waited ten minutes, and didn’t hear a word from Mu Jin Huan, running out of patience.
His tone unfriendly, "Is Nan Wan my wife? If I could guess what trick she’s pulling, don’t you think there’s a problem?"
Indeed, she’s quite something...
Mu Jin Huan kept his eyes lowered; the whole day of work overload already left him exhausted, and the alcohol made his stomach cramp painfully.
He slowly uttered two names, "Nan Huaiyu, Yu Qinglu."
"Two unrelated people," Huo Yihan’s peach blossom eyes squinted, though surprised, he also found it funny, "Teaming up to cause trouble?"
Even though Yu Qinglu hadn’t sought him out, the position had always been kept available for her, so she was mixed up with Nan Huaiyu...
"I don’t know what exactly they did," Mu Jin Huan raised his hand to loosen his tie, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt collar, finally feeling a bit more relieved.
