Chapter 531 - 243.
Xu Moyi must be really jealous of her, otherwise why insist on using such a toy, without even marking where the switch is, to crush her intelligence?Mu Jin Huan came out from the study and immediately saw Mrs. Mu walking in this direction with her head down.
Her soft shoulder-length hair slipped from behind her ears, covering most of her small face, seeming somewhat downcast.
She wasn’t paying attention to where she was walking, lost in her thoughts.
The hallway was empty, so there was nothing to trip over. Barton was still in the study and wouldn’t suddenly pop out to scare her. She was safe even with her eyes closed.
When only a few steps remained between them, the woman still showed no intention of looking up at him, so Mu Jin Huan simply stood still.
When the woman bumped into his chest and her body lost balance, tilting backward, he swiftly wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
The corners of his lips curved into a smile that was neither genuine nor fake, as he spoke slowly, "Always saying ’no’, yet suddenly throwing yourself at me so passionately?"
As he spoke, he lowered his head, slowly approaching the woman’s face.
His dark eyes were filled with doting laughter, his voice even softer, "Mrs. Mu, playing hard to get isn’t your style, isn’t it better to just be yourself?"
As the man’s lips drew an inch closer, Nan Wan had no choice but to tilt her head back an inch. Her waist was feeling a bit sore, making it hard to perform high-difficulty movements.
She extended a finger, pressing it against the man’s forehead, and warned with a straight face, "Mu Jin Huan, stop fooling around!"
Can’t you see I’m in a bad mood?
"Not happy?" Mu Jin Huan stopped teasing her, stood straight, and kissed her hand as he brought it to his lips, raising an eyebrow, "Tell me, who upset you? I’ll deal with them for you."
Jiu Jiu and An Ge, it’s just a matter of time.
He could see her sense of loss.
Nan Wan sighed, her delicate features still looking downcast, "I’m not unhappy, just a little... how should I put it? In front of Jiu Jiu, I feel completely at a disadvantage, it’s embarrassing."
Thinking back to the pregnancy reactions when carrying Jiu Jiu, and now Jiu Jiu’s indifferent attitude towards her.
It really breaks the heart.
Whenever she frowned, Mu Jin Huan knew what was bothering her right away. He asked deliberately, just trying to shift her bad mood.
He chuckled softly, "So, you’re not here to seek affection but to complain?"
Nan Wan, "..."
What kind of talk is this?
Though considered tall among girls, Nan Wan was wearing flat sandals, and standing in front of the tall Mu Jin Huan gave her a feeling of being delicate and dependent.
Tilting her head, her shoulder-length hair scattered at the back of her head, revealing her refined features.
She forced a rather perfunctory smile, "Xu Moyi brought something unknown, I was completely crushed to bits, can you check it out for Jiu Jiu?"
Mu Jin Huan leaned down and gave a light kiss by her lips, then turned her body 180 degrees with a hand on her shoulder.
He placed an arm over her shoulder, guiding her toward the closet, "I don’t have time now, let’s talk about it tomorrow."
"Busy as you are, don’t have even a few minutes?"
After closing the closet door, Mu Jin Huan headed to the coat rack, picked a beige cardigan, and replied calmly, "No, not even a minute."
Both arms were slipped into the cardigan sleeves, and Nan Wan still didn’t understand why this man was helping her put on clothes late at night.
She asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Doesn’t Mrs. Mu always dream of getting rich overnight?" Mu Jin Huan found the most comfortable-looking shoes, knelt in front of the woman, put one on her foot, and glanced up at her, "Who knows, there might be a chance tonight."
Experts predicted a meteor would appear at one in the morning.
It’s said that after their previous wrong prediction, the experts felt deeply ashamed and saw this as a chance to redeem themselves.
The last false meteor shower coincided with the night Mrs. Mu heroically jumped into the icy, bone-piercing river and nearly crossed the Ghost Gate.
They waited on the mountaintop until dawn and saw nothing but the few stars they could have seen at home.
Clearly, the pregnancy brain of Mrs. Mu hadn’t kicked in.
Blinking her eyes as she spouted nonsense, "You’re not planning to dump me, then give me an extraordinary separation fee to fulfill my dream... are you?"
With Mr. Mu as her on-call ATM, she no longer needed to get rich overnight.
