Chapter 346 - 185. Even if you sleep at 3 a.m., you can only sleep with me.
Such deep and piercing eyes, as if they could peel away her skin and directly extract her truest thoughts.Nan Wan had a moment of blankness in her mind, and when she came to her senses, she almost instinctively hung up the call and hid her phone behind her back.
Retracting her gaze, she continued watching the movie playing on the tablet, pursed her lips, "Did I... say the word ’check’?"
Mu Jin Huan leaned against the doorway, right hand still gripping the door handle, his robe slightly open, revealing a suntanned chest.
Looking at the woman’s exquisite and beautiful profile, his face as calm as usual, he slowly asked, "Did I hear wrong?"
Nan Wan shifted her tingling legs a bit, adjusting to a more comfortable position, "I think so."
Mu Jin Huan just looked at her like that, his gaze calm and unruffled, with emotions extremely concealed deep within his dark eyes.
A moment later, he strode over to the sofa, sat beside her, and naturally draped his arm around the woman’s shoulder.
Glancing at the screen, he asked, "How much is left?"
In an instant, the man’s hormonal scent enveloped her, lingering and wrapping around her.
Nan Wan subtly moved herself out of his embrace, leaning to the side, supporting her head with her right hand, and said softly, "Halfway through, do you need the tablet?"
Barton had already sensibly slipped out of the bedroom when Mu Jin Huan opened the door and came in.
Mu Jin Huan took the tablet from her hands, turned off the movie, and tossed it casually on the sofa, "Go to sleep, it’s already eleven, watch it tomorrow."
She had a poor appetite every day, and although she ate each meal, she ate only a little. Her oval face became emaciated, her sleep was poor, so she always looked listless.
Nan Wan had no time to react, he lifted her up by her waist, the sense of floating instinctively made her raise her hand to wrap around his neck.
"Are you done with work? I’m not that sleepy yet, why don’t you sleep first?" her body sank into the soft bedding as Nan Wan propped herself up on the bed before he could press down on her.
Mu Jin Huan eyed her then leisurely untied the robe’s belt, slowly stating, "Even if you sleep at three in the morning, you can only sleep next to me."
Inside the robe, he only wore a pair of boxers, revealing a perfect inverted triangle physique, his sharply defined abs leading to a V-line.
Nan Wan shifted her gaze unnaturally, murmuring almost inaudibly, "So domineering, did you get my consent?"
She had just cut off Nan Huaiyu’s call, what if he calls back...
Mu Jin Huan turned off the light, lifted the bedding, and lay on the bed, pulling the woman who kept moving back closer, whispering hoarsely in her ear, "Don’t move, I won’t do anything to you."
When did she ever want him to force it?
Thump... thump... thump...
The sound of the man’s heartbeat faintly echoed in her ears, like some inexplicable ensnarement, leaving no strength in her hands that rested against his chest.
Is it the hidden feelings causing this, or... do the thorns just fall away near him?
She couldn’t resist this man.
Filled with the fragrance of warmth and tenderness, she was unusually gentle, leaving Mu Jin Huan’s heart softened, as he asked with a low voice, "That night when I called you from the United States, were you in his car?"
Upon hearing his words, Nan Wan’s soft body suddenly stiffened.
’He’ needed no explanation.
Seconds later, Nan Wan’s held breath slowly relaxed, her voice very low, "The check was the one you gave Yu Qinglu, but I tore it up."
He heard it clearly before, she vaguely denied it, and he didn’t press the issue further.
From the day they got married, he had promised not to force her to do anything she didn’t want to do.
Her past was disastrous and messy, the world didn’t love her, and she didn’t love the world either.
Perhaps it was God’s intention to give her loneliness and pain, only to funnel all her luck into encountering him that day.
"She once was kind too, the longing from unrequited love led to the entanglement with Nan Huaiyu. I didn’t want to ruin that last bit of goodness in your heart, so I didn’t tell you."
Mu Jin Huan patiently listened to the end. He was naturally someone who didn’t show his emotions on his face, so there was no emotional fluctuation.
The beige curtains kept the floor-to-ceiling windows covered tightly, and without the light, the bedroom was in complete darkness.
Through the texture of fine silk pajamas, his fingertips with a thin callus gently rubbed the woman’s shoulder, asking unhurriedly, "Wanwan, don’t you believe that I can protect the people you care about?"
Clearly, she was speaking of Yu Qinglu, yet he asked that question.
