Chapter 401 - 206. The corner of the eye rippled with a cold arc, ’Trying to seduce me?
After leaving the hotel, Mu Jin Huan drove to a high-end private club in the suburbs, which was quite far away, taking him a full two hours.Mrs. Mu had been feeling a bit sleepy lately and fell asleep against the car window in less than an hour after they started driving.
At noon, the sun came out, dispelling the morning gloom in the sky. The soft sunlight fell into the car, accentuating the woman’s gentle and serene sleeping face.
Mu Jin Huan looked at her with gentle eyes, his heart softening. After a moment, he unfastened his seatbelt and leaned toward the passenger seat.
In her haze, Nan Wan felt annoyed. She used her tongue forcefully, wanting to push away whatever was obstructing her breathing.
The woman unconsciously responded, seemingly igniting a long-restrained restlessness within Mu Jin Huan. The temperature in his dark eyes began to rise, and his slender fingers clasped her chin as he kissed her more deeply.
The feeling of suffocation awoke Nan Wan from her dream.
Opening her eyes, she wasn’t sure what just happened. The handsome face close at hand was blurry, and after a while, she asked softly, "Are we there yet?"
The woman’s sleepy, confused demeanor aroused Mu Jin Huan’s most primal urges.
His body was tense and uncomfortable, his brow jumping, but his rationality ultimately remained. Given both the setting and her current state, it was inappropriate...
His slender fingers gently adjusted the collar that had been unknowingly pulled open, then unfastened his seatbelt. After lightly pecking her slightly swollen lips, he moved away.
His voice carried a slight huskiness, "Mm, you can get out of the car now."
Nan Wan slowly came to full consciousness after a while, stretched lazily, and murmured softly, "So hungry."
Mu Jin Huan stood by the passenger side, his arm resting on the car window, and gently touched the woman’s delicate cheek, "Then get out of the car. The food here is all natural, eat more."
Nan Wan nodded, holding onto the man’s arm as she got out of the passenger seat.
The environment here was beautiful, even though it was already autumn, everything around remained lush and green.
As the two walked onto the small bridge, Mu Jin Huan’s phone in his suit pants pocket rang. He stopped, took out his phone, and after seeing the number on the screen, his previously gentle eyes displayed some fluctuation.
Nan Wan didn’t look, shielding her eyes from the sun with her left hand, her voice light, "It’s a bit too sunny, I’ll go inside first."
This was an exclusive leisure venue where only VIP members could enter, no riffraff could get in. Seeing a waiter fifty meters away, Mu Jin Huan released his arm which was around the woman’s waist, "Walk carefully, I’ll come find you soon."
"Mm," Nan Wan responded softly, then slowly walked inside.
Watching her walk away, Mu Jin Huan turned around and answered the call, "What’s the matter?"
On the other end, Secretary Tang responded respectfully, "President Mu, news has returned, and the person targeting the Paris subsidiary seems to be... Nan Huaiyu."
This person had been missing from An City for a long time.
Mu Jin Huan’s sharply defined features remained calm as they always were, his dark eyes slightly narrowed, hiding emotions inscrutable to others, "Seems?"
Though he spoke only two words, the displeasure in his tone was unmistakable, causing Secretary Tang to swallow nervously, "It’s like this, the people over in Paris haven’t confirmed it, they’ve only found some clues and traces."
After a brief pause, he continued, "The company’s former owner was from Qing City. He went to Paris to start a business over twenty years ago and became quite wealthy, well-known in the Chinese community. However, he had late-stage lung cancer and passed away ten days ago. Our findings show that he was Miss Bai Ruoshu’s biological father."
A young and wealthy man encountered a gentle and beautiful teacher, and after sweet talk and tenderness, he left a seed and abandoned the fair lady.
In his old age, heavily ill, he suddenly remembered that past incident, and on his deathbed, his conscience prompted him to seek redress.
Taking a deep breath, he said carefully, "The current CEO was parachuted into the company, very mysterious. Other than the senior management, regular employees haven’t seen them, and even private detectives could only uncover bits and pieces. After conducting a precise comparison, we found an 80% similarity with Nan Huaiyu."
Mu Jin Huan remained as calm as an untouchable deep pool, unaffected by any stir, speaking lightly, "What I want is 100% confirmation."
...
Outside the restaurant, there was a plane tree about the thickness of two people, with dead yellow leaves scattered on the ground, rustling as people walked by, characteristic of autumn.
Not knowing which wealthy lady’s pet cat was curling up beside the tree, basking in the sun with a lazy and noble air, it captured Nan Wan’s attention, making her linger a while longer under the tree.
