Chapter 316 - 173. Up late at night messing around for no reason
Mu Jin Huan chuckled softly, his arms tightening as he pulled her completely into his embrace, inhaling the woman’s fragrance.He mumbled indistinctly, "You can’t leave... I’m drunk... You have to take care of me..."
A man in his thirties playing the rogue.
Nan Wan thought for a moment, then stopped struggling and lowered her voice, "Then let go, I’ll get a towel to wipe your face."
Mu Jin Huan, thoroughly drunk, actually loosened his grip upon hearing her words, and in less than a minute, he seemed to have fallen asleep.
His breathing was heavy but steady.
Nan Wan gazed at the man’s chiseled features, quietly lying next to him, waiting for him to sleep more soundly before gently removing his arm from her waist.
After covering him with a blanket, she left the bedroom,
and in the next room, changed her clothes, dialed Liu An’s number while sitting on the sofa.
It was a little past two in the morning, the perfect time for sleep, and Liu An was still in a daze as he walked out of his house.
He couldn’t understand, why all this fuss in the middle of the night?
Why not have a tender moment and go to sleep peacefully?
Driving at night wasn’t very safe, and Liu An, still groggy from being woken up, arrived fifteen minutes later than usual at Nan Wan’s place.
After putting on her coat and grabbing her bag, Nan Wan changed her shoes and walked to the hallway to open the door for Liu An.
Her expression was calm, but her eyes were filled with fatigue. She pointed to the room where Mu Jin Huan was sleeping and said, "Sorry for the trouble, he drank a lot and is sleeping in the room."
Liu An was even more puzzled seeing Nan Wan all dressed up, "Madam, what are you...?"
"I’m going to a hotel nearby to sleep," Nan Wan said in a very soft voice as she walked past him out the door, "Tell him tomorrow when he wakes up, if he comes again, I’ll still go to a hotel."
Liu An stood at the door stunned for a while, what was going on?
Is this time the couple truly breaking up?
No wonder the florist called him today, saying Mrs. Mu didn’t accept today’s lilies and said no more deliveries needed...
He thought it was just a woman’s occasional little tantrum, he never imagined it was this serious...
He sighed deeply, closed the door, and walked quietly to the bedroom, pushed the door open and took a look, President Mu was sound asleep, though fully clothed.
Tsk tsk tsk, Madam, are you serious this time!
Even though there was another bedroom, Liu An wouldn’t dare sleep in Mrs. Mu’s bed even if given ten guts, so he had to make do on the sofa for the night.
The next morning, Liu An was awakened by a kick.
He sat up abruptly, fell to the floor, opened his eyes, and saw an expressionless face looming over him.
He was stunned for a few seconds before quickly getting up, "Mu... President Mu."
Mu Jin Huan’s short hair was disheveled, his shirt was full of creases, and the smell of alcohol lingered on him, far from his usual dignified appearance.
His eyebrows furrowed deeply, and his voice was hoarse from waking up after a heavy night of drinking, "When did you get here?"
Liu An was a bit surprised; President Mu’s aura was usually cold and distant. Though clearly displeased now, it wasn’t to a chilling degree.
It seemed he had anticipated this.
"Approximately... around three-thirty."
About then; he hadn’t checked the time closely.
"Three-thirty..." The muddled look in Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes gradually receded, replaced by the kind of turbulence that kept people at a respectful distance.
After a moment’s silence, he asked, "Where did she go?"
The atmosphere clearly felt off. Liu An lowered his head and cautiously replied, "Madam said she went to a nearby hotel to sleep."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jin Huan, who stood in front of him, had already leaned over to grab his coat from the sofa and was striding towards the door.
Liu An followed behind him, coughing unnaturally, "She also said..."
Mu Jin Huan turned around, his expression calm, his voice carrying a chilling undertone that instilled fear, "Need me to squeeze it out of your throat?"
Liu An shuddered inwardly, mustering the courage to continue, "Madam asked me to tell you, if you come over again tonight, she will still go sleep at a hotel."
After hearing him out, Mu Jin Huan’s face didn’t show the slightest ripple, but his eyes became even darker than usual.
————
Four days had passed, and since that night, Mu Jin Huan hadn’t come looking for Nan Wan. When she called to ask about completing the formalities, he kept saying he was busy and had no time.
The night was deep, yet the traffic on the road was still ceaseless.
Nan Wan stood at the hospital entrance, suddenly feeling a sense of disorientation, not knowing where to go.
"Doctor Nan, is it convenient to have a word?"
A warm, soft voice echoed by her ear.
