Chapter 394 - 203. Nan Wan did not want to see this man lying and deceiving her. _3
The woman’s tone was somewhat cold, and the message conveyed was easy to understand.Mu Jin Huan was too fatigued last night, which was why he didn’t notice her strange emotions. Gazing at the woman’s clear face, his dark eyes deepened further.
After a minute of silence, his slender fingers brushed aside her disheveled hair, the rough fingertips slowly caressing her tender skin.
His voice was deep and pleasant, "What client could be more important than you? Get up first; have breakfast, then sleep again."
The gentle, slow touch made Nan Wan feel very itchy. She frowned slightly and impatiently opened her eyes.
In her line of sight, the man’s chiseled features basked in the warm sunlight, adding a touch of warmth and tenderness. Those deep black eyes seemed to possess an incredible charm, making it difficult not to fall captive simply by meeting his gaze a few seconds longer, forgetting what she was upset about.
She averted her gaze, pulling herself away from that irresistible allure.
Having eaten nothing last night, she was indeed hungry and saw no point in punishing her own body.
She lifted the covers, braced herself on the bed, and sat up, rubbing her messy hair, without even glancing at him, "You’re in my way."
He clearly understood what she meant but pretended not to know.
The autumn morning was a bit chilly. Mu Jin Huan glanced at the woman’s exposed, slender arms and legs in the air, rose, walked to the wardrobe, and fetched a coat to drape it over her shoulders.
Nan Wan placed her palm on her cheek to relieve the soreness in her eyes. Perhaps because she couldn’t see, the man’s touch startled her.
She thought it was those frightening things crawling onto her shoulder.
Her body instinctively leaned back, and the sudden movement made her hit the headboard, drawing a cold breath of pain, "Hiss!"
Mu Jin Huan frowned and pulled her into his embrace, undisguised concern in his eyes, gently massaging the spot where she hit, "It’s me, don’t be afraid; there are no such things at home."
He merely touched her shoulder lightly, and her reaction was so pronounced.
Then last night, when he didn’t return, she was alone in the room...
The clear mint scent filled her nostrils, and surprisingly, Nan Wan felt a bit resistant. She pulled away from the man’s hand, "I only bumped into it because I wasn’t paying attention. It doesn’t hurt anymore."
She walked into the bathroom, closed the door, and saw a toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed onto it resting on the cup. She stared at it for a while before starting to wash up.
Outside the door, Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes were filled with an enigmatic hue.

In the President Mu’s office of the Mu Family.
The low-pressure atmosphere made Liu An somewhat apprehensive, not daring to chatter unnecessarily. He respectfully began to report, "President Mu, I saw the man you described on surveillance. He entered the community around five o’clock yesterday afternoon and left ten minutes later. He was just an ordinary delivery man from a courier company; nothing suspicious was found."
All courier companies inspect the items customers are sending, but the delivery man does not open the boxes, so the issue lies with the sender during the parcel dispatch process.
Looking up and glancing at Mu Jin Huan sitting in front of the computer, he continued, "The package was sent from the South City area. However, that courier company has over two hundred employees, and I still haven’t found..."
Checking one by one would be very labor-intensive.
Mu Jin Huan’s face was cold and resolute, without any expression. Holding a pen in his hand and fiddling with it, he exuded an inscrutable aura.
His voice was indifferent, "I’ll give you two more days. Is that enough?"
Liu An quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, that’ll be enough. Then, President Mu, I’ll take my leave now."
Even with just twenty-four hours, he would have to push himself to the limit to find the person.
Not receiving a response was something he was accustomed to long ago. The boss’s thoughts were not something he could fathom. After waiting a few seconds, he cautiously left the office and closed the door.
Under the orange-red sunset, the well-lit office should have felt warm, but in reality, the air was cold and stagnant.
Seated in the black soft chair, Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes were half-closed. His articulated fingers pressed against his temples, and the desk was piled high with documents waiting for his signature, none of which he had looked at.
The longer they couldn’t find the person, the more danger she was in.
"Buzz... Buzz... Buzz..."
In the silent office, the vibration of the phone was particularly conspicuous.
At seventeen seconds, Mu Jin Huan opened his dark eyes, glanced lightly at the flashing screen, his composed features suffused with a weary dimness.
Answering the call, his voice was indifferent and distant, with a touch of impatience, "What is it?"
The person on the other end was very anxious but didn’t dare make rash moves, trying hard to control their speech speed, "Mr. Mu, the patient is having some issues, and it may trouble you to come to the hospital."
