Chapter 320 - 174._2
The security guard responsible for taking care of Barton saw Nan Wan coming out, so he walked over with the dog leash.When he was about three meters away from Nan Wan, he seemed to sense the unclear atmosphere between the two, feeling a bit awkward, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
"First go to the mall to change clothes, then come with me to the North Shore Villa," Mu Jin Huan also saw Barton, and gestured the security to bring the dog over, "Of course, if you don’t want to go to the mall, it’s fine. The clothes at home are all yours, changing there is better."
Before the man could take the leash from the security, Nan Wan had already taken it. After thanking him, she stepped off the stairs.
With a faint tone, "I won’t go."
Mu Jin Huan was dressed in a certain brand’s spring high-fashion suit, his black leather shoes polished to a shine, reflecting a bright gleam under the lights. His tall, slender body stood outside the restaurant, the whole person exuding elegance and nobility, yet with a detached aloofness.
In his deep black eyes lay an emotion unintelligible to others, "The divorce agreement."
Nan Wan’s steps halted, and Barton stopped as well, circling around her feet.
The sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground grew closer, and a minute later, a low voice sounded behind her, "I’ve already signed it. It’s at home. I don’t have time to send it to you, if you don’t pick it up, it will just drag on."
When Mu Jin Huan got close, Barton lifted his front legs, trying to climb on him, leaving dusty paw prints on the high-end suit jacket, greatly affecting its appearance.
Mu Jin Huan had a cleanliness obsession, but he only frowned slightly, not scolding Barton. Instead, he extended a hand to help support the golden retriever’s two front legs.
Nan Wan turned her head, suspiciously asking, "Are you lying to me?"
His secretary team is at least ten people strong, and there’s also Liu An. It wouldn’t be hard to find someone to run errands, right?
Barton, feeling satisfied, put down his two paws and continued to circle around the two.
Mu Jin Huan glanced at her, took a handkerchief from his suit pocket, and leisurely wiped the hand Barton had licked.
In a casual tone, "I have plenty of ways if I want to sleep with you, no need to use such an excuse to trick you over."
His words choked Nan Wan, making her shift her gaze unnaturally, pressing her lips together.
After a moment of silence, she softly said, "Then let’s go. I have to work tomorrow, and I don’t want this to delay me too much."
Mu Jin Huan’s gaze was restrained, his hand-wiping movements slow and graceful, exuding an unfathomable aura.
The edges of his lips curved slightly, "In a hurry to be with Senior Brother Sheng?"
His voice was in a normal tone, without any sarcasm, as if talking about the most ordinary thing.
Nan Wan was momentarily stunned, her gaze calm, then she smiled slightly, "Yes, just recently cleared of rumors, I can’t start acting up again. I’m too poor to gamble on the face of the Mu Family’s CEO."
Mu Jin Huan first opened the car’s back door, letting Barton jump in, then opened the passenger seat door.
His arm rested on the car window, looking leisurely at the woman’s gentle yet indifferent face, speaking unhurriedly, "I don’t care about face, you can act as you please."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Nan Wan’s face faded, her brows and eyes gradually turning serene.
She didn’t sit in the passenger seat, instead reached out her hand, "You’ve been drinking, let me drive."
Mu Jin Huan didn’t refuse either, looking at her for a while, then placing the car keys in her palm.
On the way, except for Mu Jin taking two phone calls, the two had no other interaction.
Silent, but it wasn’t an awkward atmosphere.
Upon reaching the North Shore Villa, it was already close to eleven. After entering, the living room was devoid of any light.
While changing shoes, Nan Wan casually asked, "Where’s Aunt Zhou?"
"Aunt Zhou is actually here to take care of you. Since you’re not here, I let her go back to the Mu Family," Mu Jin Huan took off his suit jacket and casually tossed it on the sofa.
He walked to the dining room to pour a glass of water, his tone gentle, "You go to the bedroom to change clothes first."
Nan Wan stood motionlessly in the center of the living room, suddenly recalling the scene when she first came here, messily thrown on the sofa by him, as if it had just happened yesterday.
The heating wasn’t on, and the entire villa was cool and empty, spacious yet... lonely.
"I’ll change when I get back, just give me the agreement. It’s late, you should rest early too."
"Standing still, do you want me to help you change?" Mu Jin Huan put down the water glass, loosened his tie, and walked up to Nan Wan, seemingly about to pick her up, "It’s not impossible, I should still be quite handy at it."
Nan Wan, frightened by the man’s sleeve-rolling actions, stepped back two paces, needing no second invitation, hurrying up the stairs.
