Chapter 387: The female lead of the engagement banquet did not appear the whole time.
Now it was Mrs. Mu’s turn to be unhappy. "It’s so ugly, I don’t want it."Mu Jin Huan held the woman’s hand that was about to pull off the shawl, patiently coaxing, "It’s windy outside. If you just wear a dress, you’ll catch a cold, which isn’t good for the baby."
Showing so much skin would just benefit other men. It would suffice to show it at home for him.
Nan Wan pouted, "Oh, now you only care about the child. Once it’s born, will I not matter anymore?"
Mu Jin Huan had a bit of a headache but still replied agreeably, "What are you saying, of course, I care about you."
He used to find her occasional tantrums cute, but now he found her gentle and charming demeanor more appealing.
Nan Wan stood up from the chair, snorting coldly, "That’s just an excuse."
Mu Jin Huan couldn’t deal with her now; sometimes, no matter how much he coaxed, it didn’t work, and her temper was getting worse.
He looked at the time on his wrist, his lean, strong arm resting on the table, then bent down to kiss the woman’s lips. He didn’t pull away until she pushed against his chest, breathless.
His dark eyes, smoldering, opened, his voice hoarse and sexy, "If you hum a bit more, we’ll be late. When Mo Yi gets mad at you, don’t blame me."
The woman’s cheeks turned a rosy red, her lips slightly swollen. Her long, curled eyelashes cast two rows of shadows under her eyelids, fluttering like feathers tickling the heart, itchy.
Mu Jin Huan suppressed the agitation in his heart, using the motion of tidying her shawl to avert his gaze.
Nan Wan was kissed into a daze by the man, and it took her a while to come out of her muddled state, pouting as she whispered, "Then move aside."
Every time it’s this trick, can’t you think of something new!
She no longer resisted the shawl, and Mu Jin Huan let her be a bit stubborn, stepping back half a step and then wrapping his arm around her waist as they left.
...
Outside the hotel, Jia Shu saw Nan Wan kicking stones out of boredom from a distance and bounded over excitedly.
He wore a miniature version of a suit, a British style, very handsome, the kind that would be praised countless times by aunties and grandmas on the street.
He was much more lively than before, shaking Nan Wan’s pinky with his, "Auntie, Auntie, where’s Uncle Mu?"
The little guy immediately asked about Mu Jin Huan, which made Nan Wan feel a bit frustrated. She pointed in the direction behind her without much enthusiasm, "Over there, on the phone."
Originally, Jia Shu intended to find Mu Jin Huan, but halfway, he spotted his little buddy Mu Qingqing. Clearly, he missed the latter more and turned direction without hesitation.
Nan Ze, holding Shen Zhimei, walked in front of Nan Wan, giving a faint glance at Mu Jin Huan, who was still on the phone. With his mixed-race deep features, his emotions were unclear, "Did he upset you?"
Didn’t he know she was uncomfortable in all sorts of ways?
Nan Wan certainly wouldn’t complain in front of her third brother. Otherwise, her third brother wouldn’t have given Mr. Mu any face. She had already experienced this and didn’t want to try it again.
She curved her lips into a smile, "No, I’m not unhappy."
Shen Zhimei looked at Jia Shu in the distance and couldn’t help but shake her head and sigh: When boys grow up, they can’t be kept at home.
She hadn’t had a chance to greet Mu Jinqian yet when she saw Jia Shu suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, kiss Mu Qingqing, who was in a princess dress. The chirping little princess was stunned by the kiss.
Mu Jinqian’s face immediately darkened.
Shen Zhimei, after reacting, hurriedly walked over, awkwardly apologizing to Mu Jinqian, then sternly scolded her son, "How can you randomly kiss people? It’s impolite, who taught you that?"
Jia Shu, with an innocent look, didn’t think anything was wrong, "Dad said that if you like a girl, you have to make a move early."
Shen Zhimei, "..."
Is this how you teach your son to pick up girls???
Nan Ze ignored Mu Jinqian’s grim expression, calmly retracting his gaze and looking at Mu Jin Huan, who had finished his call and was walking over.
With a furrowed brow, he spoke displeasedly, "Is President Mu so busy that I should take my sister home to care for her?"
Mu Jin Huan pulled Nan Wan into his embrace, his expression calm, without a trace of disturbance, "No need to worry about Wanwan, take care of yourself."
The last half of the sentence was full of meaning because... Mrs. Nan was smiling at an old suitor.
Seeing the situation was not good, Nan Wan quickly dragged Mu Jin Huan into the hotel, retreating from the battlefield.
...
The brightly lit hall was filled with a tense atmosphere, Xiao Ran’s parents’ faces extremely dark, holding back their anger.
Because the star of the engagement party hadn’t shown up at all.
Nan Wan looked sideways at the man beside her and asked, "Where’s Huo Yihan?"
