Chapter 418 - 211. Outside the nursery, stood Yu Qinglu.
Mu Jin Huan went to the bathroom to change his clothes, shaved the stubble on his chin, then walked to the bedside and bent down to plant a kiss on the forehead of the sleeping Nan Wan, before tucking her in.When he walked out of the ward, Huo Yihan and Nan Ze had already been waiting in the hallway for almost forty minutes, with a dozen cigarette butts scattered in the nearby trash can.
Huo Yihan pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Mu Jin Huan, but since the latter didn’t accept it, he just held it himself and lit it, "Let’s keep what happened to Lu Li under wraps for now."
Lu Li used to be an artist at Huo Yihan’s company, and now the outside world is in an uproar, the news can’t be suppressed. As Lu Li’s former employer, Huo Yihan inevitably has to make a public statement.
He has to be responsible for every word he says, so before releasing a statement, he has already seen the body.
Mu Jin Huan looked at him expressionless and spoke faintly, "Do you really need to instruct this?"
It’s indeed distressing with one wave after another of problems, and although Huo Yihan couldn’t help his bad temper, he couldn’t add to his troubles.
"I’m going to take care of something," Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes were cold, like the surface of a lake in the early morning, his fingers with distinct joints rolled up his cuffs, and he said to Nan Ze, "Wanwan is asleep, please take care of her for three hours for me."
Nan Ze knew what he was going to do, his well-defined features showed no trace of emotion, "Hmm."
He stubbed out the cigarette butt, then called to instruct his driver not to wait for him and to send Shen Zhimei and Jiashu home first.
Xu Moyi ran into the inpatient department, and as he waited for the elevator, he just happened to see Huo Yihan and Mu Jin Huan coming out of the same elevator, hands on his hips, still panting, "Brother-in-law, is my sister awake?"
Mu Jin Huan seemed as if he didn’t see her at all, striding out of the elevator.
The sound of his leather shoes on the floor echoed with the same frequency in the empty hallway.
His deep black eyes held no ripples, appearing to be the calm before the storm.
He exuded an icy and austere aura, so intense was his menace that Xu Moyi, who normally dared to act cutesy, was now completely stunned, even holding her breath.
Not until that tall, straight figure disappeared from sight did she relax, allowing oxygen back into her nostrils.
She gazed dazedly in the direction of the inpatient department’s exit, her breathing returning to normal after a long while, murmuring softly, "Brother-in-law wouldn’t really be going to..."
After all, with such a threatening aura, it was hard for her to imagine her brother-in-law was merely going to have a cup of coffee or a meal.
"Is there anything surprising? If anyone dares to touch you, damn it, I’d kill them too," Huo Yihan said after watching her in silence for a while, his words pregnant with meaning, "Of course, I’d be more refined, no bloodshed."
Upon hearing this, Xu Moyi felt a bit of heart palpitations, like being bewitched, turning her head to look at him.
The moment their eyes met, she unexpectedly fell into those deep, bottomless black eyes. The hallway was brightly lit, so she could clearly see her reflection in the man’s pupils.
Suddenly, Xu Moyi felt somewhat afraid of such an undisguised gaze, forcing herself to break away from it.
Her sister and brother-in-law are husband and wife, but what does she count as with him, can they be the same?
She looked away, her voice faint, "Move, you’re blocking me."
Huo Yihan wasn’t bothered by the woman’s indifference at all; it’s rare for the little white rabbit to bump into him, so he certainly wouldn’t let her go easily, striding toward her slowly.
He slightly lowered his head, a captivating curve forming on his thin lips, his peach blossom eyes soul-stirring.
His voice deliberately lowered, "Shorten the hand that eats, soften the hand that takes. I’ve taken care of Chairman Zhao for you, aren’t you going to express some gratitude?"
Mentioning this annoyed Xu Moyi, and her face instantly sank. She raised her hand to push away the man’s face that was leaning in, then stomped hard on his foot, "I’ll show you my gratitude to your grandfather!"
The entire company team prepared for a month; although her enthusiasm was somewhat extinguished by the realities of transactional dealings, her brother-in-law and third brother had her back, so she was still ready to give it a try.
As a result, this bastard kicked in at the last minute.
Now it’s a disaster; her image in Mr. Xu’s eyes has plummeted, beyond recovery even by a rocket.
Following closely behind her, Xiao Ran, who just parked the car, could hear the irritated voice of the little lioness, with some indulgent helplessness.
Seeing Huo Yihan by the elevator, he merely paused slightly, and then walked over to Xu Moyi’s side as usual, naturally draping an arm over her shoulder, "What’s wrong?"
