Chapter 404 - 207. Before losing consciousness, two words appeared in Nan Wan’s mind: kidnapping.
Feeling exposed, the doll-like girl felt a bit guilty, but her face feigned innocent confusion, "I, I didn’t..."Nan Ze glanced at the roundness in front of her chest, his voice indifferent and mocking, "If you didn’t, then don’t dress like a prostitute discarded after World War II and wander in front of me."
His words were ruthlessly harsh.
Doll-like Jiang Xiao’s face turned alternately pale and flushed, her fingers twisted together, her eyes teary, looking so pitiful that even Xu Moyi felt sorry for her.
Nan Ze didn’t spare her another glance, his western features cold and detached, and before opening the car door, he told Xu Moyi, "You go try first, call me if you can’t handle it."
She had a company to manage, not a playground for fun, she had to learn.
"Okay, I got it, Third Brother. You go and take care of your business."
Watching the black Maybach drive away, Xu Moyi turned and walked into the club, with Huo Yihan’s long legs quickly catching up to her, "Jiang Xiao came with her dad, we didn’t say a word."
It was like a bad comedy, as soon as he parked the car, Jiang Xiao immediately approached, only for them to bump into each other unfortunately.
Xu Moyi kept walking, "It’s got nothing to do with me, stay away from me, don’t follow me."
Hmph! Who would believe that!
He hadn’t seen her in a week, how could Huo Yihan stay away from her, raising his arm to hook around her shoulder with a charming and doting voice, "Be good, don’t dwell on this old jealousy, I won’t get involved with any woman other than you. After lunch, I’ll go with you to see Chairman Zhao."
Xu Moyi was momentarily bewildered; when had this man ever spoken to her in such a tone? All these years, she was no different from his buddies in his eyes.
It was an irresistible heartache.
She stopped by the sycamore tree, pulling down his arm from her shoulder, lowering her head not to look at him.
Her voice was a bit hoarse, "Huo Yihan, can you stop this, I don’t want Xiao Ran to misunderstand."
Lately, he had been creating some ridiculously wonderful illusions, making her believe he had feelings for her.
But with Huo Yihan... some things are too late even by a second, those illusory dreams are nothing more than a delusion after all.
Her parents had protected her too well, before entering the company, she had no idea how difficult reality and life could be, a small mistake in decision-making could lead to incalculable losses.
She was the only daughter of the Xu Family, with an inescapable responsibility, and from the moment she cut her long hair, she had decided to let go of the man who consumed her entire girlhood.
Including that ridiculous night, she would forget it all.
Xiao Ran was good, she would try to like him more each day, with time so long, liking would eventually turn into love.
"Xu Moyi!" Huo Yihan looked at her, the indulgence and warmth in his eyes gradually faded, the corners of his lips curving into a mocking smile, "I remember telling you I didn’t want to hear that name from your mouth again, are you doing this on purpose?"
His handsome features seemed calm, but there was a chilling hostility hidden within.
"Think whatever you want," Xu Moyi said blandly, unwilling to stay with him, she took steps heading towards the golf course.
Huo Yihan’s gaze was tightly locked on the woman’s back, his hand in the pocket of his suit pants clenched into a fist, his eyes dark and gloomy.
Trying to get rid of him, how is that possible?

The restaurant was decorated in a pastoral style, with vines and flowers that gave a feeling of déjà vu of a 20th-century jazz artist’s estate in a Western movie.
After ordering, Mu Jin Huan poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the woman, asking, "Which blind man harassed you?"
This was why he’d rarely take her to those utterly boring banquets; if he wasn’t watching for a moment, the flies would be buzzing around.
Just thinking of Su Zhengyu’s blatant gaze made Nan Wan feel nauseous. With one hand propped up under her chin, she answered casually, "Let’s not talk about it, I just want to have a good meal."
The Su Family had already been messed up quite miserably by him, who knows when it will return to normal operations, one can’t commit too many sins.
Mu Jin Huan slightly frowned, speaking leisurely, "Should I stick ’married woman’ on your forehead?"
Hearing his words, Nan Wan chuckled, luckily the tea was hot, or his expression would have been worse if she had drunk it.
Looking down at her protruding belly, "Isn’t this enough of a sign?"
The woman rarely showed such obedience and cuteness, which slightly eased the wrinkles between Mu Jin Huan’s brows.
