Chapter 426 - 214.
Liu An was standing nearby and naturally heard what the passersby said. The fawning smile on his face vanished instantly.A strong sense of alarm sounded in his heart, but he maintained a trained exterior of respectful calm, shifting half a step to the left to block Nan Wan’s view.
"Madam, President Mu should just need a few more minutes. The wind is so strong, it wouldn’t be good if you catch a cold."
As if she hadn’t heard Liu An’s words, Nan Wan put the foot she had stepped into the car back onto the ground and walked around Liu An to the two female students.
Her delicate features showed no trace of anomaly, and her tone was courteous, "I’m sorry, what were you just talking about?"
The woman who suddenly blocked them was wearing a gray coat, with slightly wavy long hair blown by the wind, slightly messy, yet possessing a unique beauty, an air of elegance.
Judging by her clothes alone, she seemed to be someone of wealth or prominence, while the two high school students, still in their uniforms, nudged each other and exchanged glances.
After a while, the slightly bolder girl spoke up, "We, we were talking about Lu Li."
"Hmm, I heard you," Nan Wan smiled at her, "What about him?"
In the entertainment circle, the only actor with the surname Lu who could be called a movie emperor, was Lu Li.
Airplane accident...
She must have heard wrong, yes, she must have.
The two girls found it hard to believe that even after twenty days, this airplane accident was still a hot topic.
Aside from those who never leave their homes, or are completely cut off from the internet, it was surprising to find someone in Qing City unaware of this incident.
But looking at her, it seemed she wasn’t pretending.
The girl sighed, her sadness returning, "Twenty days ago, the flight from Qing City to Paris, at six in the afternoon, was struck by lightning while landing. Two people died, and Lu Li was one of them."
Liu An stood by the roadside, drenched in sweat but helplessly watched as the two high school girls relayed the news about Lu Li to the lady.
It’s over, it’s over, President Mu had only gone upstairs for less than two minutes.
What now?
[Two people died, Lu Li was one of them.]
Whatever else the two girls were saying, Nan Wan could no longer hear it. These words buzzed in her ears like a curse, swirling, unceasing.
Her body was as stiff as a lifeless stone, a bone-chilling cold seeped from her heart, slowly spreading to her limbs and bones.
It felt like a thousand bees were buzzing in her head, mingling with the honking of cars, voices of passersby, and the speaking girl’s lips moving, but she couldn’t hear a thing.
Lu Li, airplane accident, death.
When Mu Jin Huan came downstairs, holding the forgotten Mu Baobao, he saw from afar Mrs. Mu standing at the intersection being blown by the wind, without any awareness. His brows furrowed deeply, very displeased.
Does she not know the state of her body right now? Is she trying to end up with a chronic condition just to trouble him?
Liu An quickly reacted, walking over briskly, opening the car door, and only after Mu Jin Huan placed the custom cradle into the car did he cautiously speak, "President Mu, Madam has found out about Lu Li."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin Huan’s black pupils contracted sharply.
The next second, Liu An felt a dagger-like glare sweep over him, causing him to lower his head further.
Mu Jin Huan strode over to Nan Wan, wrapping a single arm around her wavering body, and used the other hand to caress her pallid cheek.
Ice cold, as if soaked in the waters of a cold winter moon.
His sharply defined features were tense, with an emotion in those deep black eyes that no one else could comprehend, his voice low and deep, "Wanwan, let’s talk in the car, okay?"
So, it’s true.
No wonder he hasn’t let her touch a phone these days, claiming that the TV in the hospital room, though working, emits radiation affecting her and the baby.
Whether previous colleagues or people from the Mu Family and Nan Family, apart from the very few closest to them, have been kept outside.
He isolated all sources of information, so she knew nothing.
Nan Wan’s eyes were dry, unable to shed a single tear, her sight blurred and unstable.
She felt so cold, shivering, the sound of her upper and lower teeth clashing almost breaking her eardrums.
Stiffly she moved her feet, inching forward, until her toes touched together, then she collapsed into the man’s arms.
Her voice hoarse as if a knife had been cut through her throat, speckled with blood, "I’m not blaming you, just... just... why, he obviously called me that day..."
