Chapter 468 - 226. Nan Wan heard Bai Ruoshu say to her that Nan Huaiyu once liked her very much.
Qin Zhenzhen, who had already become a resident doctor at Renmin Hospital, knocked on the office door and poked her head in, "Doctor Nan, can I ask you something?"Her tone was very sincere, making it hard for Nan Wan to refuse.
"Either come in or, if you’re going to leave, close the door for me," Nan Wan glanced up at her and said flatly, "Talking to a disembodied head feels a bit creepy."
Qin Zhenzhen knew this meant agreement.
She hurriedly let her body follow her head into the room.
Standing before the desk, she still didn’t speak. Instead, she bent slightly, propped her elbows on the table, rested her chin in her hands, and stared at Nan Wan unblinkingly, as if trying to figure out some mystery.
Nan Wan was a little annoyed by being stared at like this and freed one hand to cover Qin Zhenzhen’s face, pushing her away. "What are you doing?"
Qin Zhenzhen, pushed away, sidled back up, and asked with a vexed expression, "What exactly does Sheng Boyan like about you?"
They’re both women (although she isn’t as beautiful as Doctor Nan), both doctors (although she’s still a probationary one), both weigh under a hundred pounds (although she’s a few centimeters shorter than Doctor Nan)...
She’s been so proactive, why won’t Sheng Boyan even try to like her?
Hearing this, Nan Wan tossed the pen in her hand aside, leaned back in her chair, and looked at her with a half-smile, "Who told you he likes me?"
"Isn’t it obvious?" Qin Zhenzhen pouted, her words laced with jealousy, "Every time he sees you, his whole body seems to secrete hormones. I can smell it from eight hundred meters away."
Alright, let’s drop this topic here.
Nan Wan maintained her appearance, her delicate features tinged with a bright smile, "Did you study medicine because of him?"
"Sort of. There’s a world of difference between us," Qin Zhenzhen pulled a bitter smile, her voice somewhat despondent, "I wanted to better myself, try to keep up with his pace, get a little closer to him."
She had long known that someone held a place in Sheng Boyan’s heart but never thought it was Doctor Nan.
She couldn’t even feel jealous.
It really makes one angry, puffed up like a blowfish.
When you’re secretly in love, it’s the most beautiful yet the loneliest.
Nan Wan thought she could understand a bit of Qin Zhenzhen’s bitterness, but Xu Moyi seemed to have more authority on this kind of matter.
She earnestly comforted her, "You’re doing great; your values are upright, and you’re hardworking, cute, and lively. I’m almost tempted to save you for my son."
Qin Zhenzhen, "..."
Doesn’t your conscience hurt for taking advantage of me like this?
Nan Wan reached out and patted her head, "A woman pursuing a man is like crossing a veil. Just bring a pair of scissors, and you can easily pierce that veil. It’s no problem at all to pin down Mr. Mu."
Pin down...
Could it be that Mr. Mu was successfully ensnared by Doctor Nan because she pinned him down back then?
Qin Zhenzhen felt she had uncovered something incredible and grinned as she sought advice from the seemingly experienced Doctor Nan, "What if Sheng Boyan would rather die than submit?"
"Then just keep at it."

It was still a sunny morning, yet by evening the sky had turned overcast.
After Nan Wan spoke, she spotted the shoes Mr. Mu had worn when leaving the house in the morning, sitting on the shoe rack by the foyer.
President Mu got off work so early today and arrived home before her...
Jiu Jiu and Barton were playing games in the living room. Although it seemed interesting, it was basically just Jiu Jiu throwing a fluffy ball and Barton running after it to bring it back.
This was Barton’s favorite game, and only when Nan Wan was free would she play with him for a couple of minutes.
But things were different now. Mr. Jiu Jiu, with his aloof demeanor, was quite fond of this game, making Barton especially cherished.
Nan Wan changed her shoes and walked over to pick up her son and kissed him, then asked Aunt Zhou, "Where’s An Ge?"
Aunt Zhou’s injury hadn’t completely healed, so the chores around the house were still done by the two servants from Mu Mansion; she just helped Nan Wan take care of the kid.
"Sir came home early this afternoon, and Missy wouldn’t leave his side, so he took her to the study."
What a little charmer...
Nan Wan felt a tad helpless, holding her son as she went upstairs, "Aunt Zhou, take a break. Jiu Jiu will play with me."
Aunt Zhou knew the madam was concerned for her, so she responded kindly.
The playmate being taken away forcibly, Barton wasn’t very happy and wagged his tail as he followed.
After pushing open the study door, the scene before her was so warm that Nan Wan wanted to capture it with a camera.
She deliberately spoke in an envious tone, "President Mu, do you only like An Ge?"
