Chapter 380 - 196. Put a green hat on him?_2
What Nan Feng couldn’t see, he’ll go see it for her.The bioluminescent beach of Wadu Island, the starry sky of Zion Canyon, the auroras in Norway...
This is his decision, and as a friend, apart from respecting it, Nan Wan could only agree.
With his left elbow still resting on the table, his fingers rubbed the edge of the gift box, and he softly said, "At least you still have a conscience."
Glad that he told her about it.
"Wanwan," Lu Li looked at her across the table, emotions in his eyes that others couldn’t understand, his voice low and slow, "I’m sorry, thank you."
All these years, knowing her feelings, yet pretending not to understand, he failed her deep affections and couldn’t reciprocate in kind, so he was sorry.
Apart from her, no one knew how serious his illness was; others only saw his glamorous outer appearance, not the heart growing emptier and emptier inside. In the toughest days, it was she who stayed by him, so thank you.
Only five words, yet as if he had spoken a thousand words, Nan Wan seemed to understand what he meant.
With her head down, her unfocused gaze rested on the embroidered box, "You’re so annoying, saying all this."
No one forced her; it was all her own willing choice.
If emotions could be freely controlled, if liking someone meant the heart would leap for them, then the world wouldn’t have so many lovesick and lonely souls.
Lu Li’s gaze passed over Nan Wan, meeting the eyes of the man entering the restaurant for just a brief second before they both looked away.
With a half-smile, he raised an eyebrow and said leisurely to Nan Wan, "You’re in trouble, secretly meeting your ex-husband behind your husband’s back."
Nan Wan, "..."
She was sitting with her back to the door direction, naturally not seeing Mu Jin Huan walking towards her, merely thinking Lu Li was joking to change the topic.
Without hesitation, she rolled her eyes at him, looking very disdainful, "I told you to take your meds before going out, your condition will affect the city’s look, and even the red scarf on your chest isn’t bright anymore."
What ex-husband???
If Mr. Mu overheard, he’d probably stir things up again.
Liu An wouldn’t be so clueless, right? If he dared to secretly report...
At this thought, Nan Wan suddenly felt a chill on her back and looked up to see Lu Li standing up from the rattan chair, playing with the car keys from the table with a smile.
He smiled at her and said, "Good luck, Mrs. Mu."
Nan Wan, "..."
Before Lu Li left, he turned back to add two words, "Goodbye."
There was no teasing sarcasm; he was sincerely bidding farewell.
Right now, Nan Wan wouldn’t think that this would be her last meeting with Lu Li.
Soon after, as she looked at the endless night sky, she did everything possible, but couldn’t manage to say, "Lu Li, goodbye."
...
Until Mu Jin Huan pulled the rattan chair opposite Nan Wan, glanced indifferently at the gift box in front of her, did she realize why there was a chill on her back.
That scoundrel Liu An, truly unreliable, she remembered.
She bit her lip and tentatively asked, "Um... can I have a minute to explain?"
Mu Jin Huan sat with legs crossed, shirt sleeves rolled to his elbows, perfectly revealing his lean, strong arms, two buttons undone at the collar, exuding a mature masculine charisma.
Noble and elegant.
He spoke unhurriedly, "There’s no need, I can basically convict you already."
Nan Wan pretended not to hear, flattering him by pouring tea, "Lu Li and I just happened to meet and had a meal together, it wasn’t too much... right?"
Mu Jin Huan laughed vaguely, creating an eerie feeling.
"Hmm, you received a call from Lu Li in the car, then took an hour’s drive, meeting him behind my back, having lively conversations, reminiscing at a restaurant you often visited, received gifts, and denied it without a blink – indeed, not too much."
Hearing this, Nan Wan’s hand propping her chin froze, "..."
This kind of face-slapping was quite nasty, making her feel a bit awkward.
Is Liu An living too relaxed lately, forgetting the phrase ’be prepared for danger in times of peace’?
"Well, didn’t you have dinner with Miss Zhao a couple of days ago, did I say anything?"
Unnaturally she picked up the tea cup to drink only to find it empty.
Makes it even more awkward.
"We were discussing business, with a secretary present the whole time, everything said was recorded, you can check it, and," Mu Jin Huan stated steadily, pausing for a few seconds, looking up at the woman opposite, correcting without a change of expression, "her last name is Li."
