Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love

Chapter 385 - 198. The heroine of the engagement party did not show up throughout the event.

Nan Wan’s eyes flickered slightly when he saw her for the first time, then his expression returned to normal with a polite smile.It truly has been a long time, Yu Qinglu.

His gaze lightly swept over the payment receipt in her hand, his tone leisurely lifting, "Are you ill?"

The last time they met, she was still looking radiant and beautiful. But now, her complexion was unhealthily pale as if she hadn’t seen the sun for a long time, the blue of her veins quite conspicuous, and she seemed to have aged several years.

At thirty, a well-maintained woman can look like she’s in her twenties, and she...

Yu Qinglu did not shy away, putting the medication she picked up from the pharmacy into her bag along with the payment slip, "Yes, perhaps it’s the retribution for pretending to be sick to gain sympathy before."

Nan Wan chuckled, her delicate brows and eyes gentle and serene, a striking contrast to the Yu Qinglu in front of her.

She reached up to tuck a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her voice softly and lightly, "Are you implying something to me?"

If it weren’t for seeing Yu Qinglu, she might have forgotten the vows she once made.

"I don’t have such abilities," Yu Qinglu shrugged, her gaze on Nan Wan bearing an inexplicable meaning, and slowly asked, "Does Nan Huaiyu really love you? The Nan Family has been so harsh on him, don’t you lose sleep at night?"

The curve at the corners of her mouth couldn’t be called a smile at all.

At these words, Nan Wan’s face froze for a moment but quickly returned to normal.

She gathered her long hair to one side and carelessly combed it, "So Miss Yu has so many concerns. No wonder you look so tired."

Here was a convalescent home for mental illness patients; her presence here was already quite clear.

"I always suffer from insomnia, and I can’t take too much sleeping medication," Yu Qinglu sighed, as if feeling very helpless.

Then she took two steps forward, leaned closer to Nan Wan, and mystically blinked her eyes, "Aren’t you curious why, even though Mu Huan forced me back to An City, I still showed up in Qing City?"

No one knew how she got through these past few months, it was simply... a living hell.

If it weren’t for the woman in front of her, Mu Huan wouldn’t have treated her that way, she wouldn’t have gone to a bar to drown her sorrows, and she wouldn’t have contracted such a filthy disease.

In her current state, neither human nor ghost, even looking in the mirror made her feel sick.

All because of this woman!

The medicinal odor on her made Nan Wan uncomfortable, so she took a step back, increasing the distance between them.

Her brows and eyes always carried a light, shallow smile, "Do you want to tell me?"

If she hadn’t come to the sanatorium today, she wouldn’t have known any of this.

"Me? Of course, I’m..." Yu Qinglu paused for a few seconds, "Of course, I’m here to see a doctor, I’ll be flying back to An City tonight, so don’t be too alarmed, we have a long road ahead."

After speaking, she glanced down at Nan Wan’s rounded belly, then curved her lips into a smile, turned around, and slowly walked out of the outpatient building.

The sound of high heels faded on the ground, and the smile between Nan Wan’s brows and eyes gradually disappeared, leaving nothing but cool detachment.

Liu An was indulging in a smoking habit in the restroom and didn’t run into Yu Qinglu. He opened the car’s back door, supported Nan Wan into the car, and quickly returned to the driver’s seat.

He always felt that Mrs. Mu’s emotions were a bit off, but he didn’t know exactly what was wrong, afraid he might irritate this ancestor somehow, he didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

Carefully he asked, "Ma’am, are we going back to North Shore Villa?"

Nan Wan leaned against the car window, gazing distantly at the crowds outside the glass, "To Mu Group."

It was almost six, he should be about to finish work too.

Just along the way, Liu An respectfully replied and started the car.

...

At Mu Group Building, it was time to get off work, there were many employees in the lobby, secretly glancing at the obviously pregnant wife of the Mu Group owner.

Most people had only heard her name but never seen her in person. Nan Wan had only been to Mu Group once, so curiosity was quite normal.

Liu An’s warning gaze swept over, signaling them to mind their own business instead of staring aimlessly, and then he led Nan Wan into the executive elevator.

The knocking sounded, Secretary Tang broke off from reporting work, and after consulting with Mu Jin Huan, walked to the door and opened the office door.

Seeing Nan Wan was a bit of a surprise, but the professionalism of a high-level secretary quickly kicked in, and she reacted promptly, stepping aside to allow Nan Wan in. After she entered, the secretary stepped out and closed the door.

"President Mu, are you still busy?" A soft voice sounded in his ear, making Mu Jin Huan, who was browsing through emails on his computer, look up.

In his line of sight was a face adorned with a faint smile.
