Chapter 536 - 244. At Mr. Mu’s age, the demand is a bit strong.
However, she thought that if these words could reach Mr. Huo’s ears, it would be quite interesting.After exchanging glances with Mrs. Nan, Nan Wan decided not to participate in any discussions between the two men for the time being.
The Nan couple sat side by side, with Mu Jin Huan and Nan Wan separated by them. It wasn’t very practical, but no one seemed to mind.
The wait for something wonderful always feels excruciatingly long.
Under this dreamlike night sky, Shen Zhimei suddenly felt nostalgic for the past. She nudged the person next to her with her elbow and asked, "Do you remember the night after our college entrance exam?"
For them, the college entrance exam was a time long gone.
Nan Wan leaned on her shoulder and lazily said two words, "Forgotten."
Such an embarrassing thing, of course, should be avoided. Especially since Mr. Mu was sitting next to her; she couldn’t ruin her gentle and beautiful image.
Shen Zhimei nodded, "Really? But I remember hearing clearly... ouch!"
The slight cry was because Nan Wan pinched her.
Noticing that Mu Jin Huan and Nan Ze next to them also turned their gaze toward her, Nan Wan inwardly began to sharpen her knives, smiling at Shen Zhimei with an expression easy to understand: You say one word, I’ll pinch you to death.
Shen Zhimei wasn’t fazed at all by her friend’s threat.
She deliberately put on a pitiful act, leaning toward her husband, "Third Brother, look at her."
Nan Ze instinctively wrapped his arm around Shen Zhimei’s shoulder, thought for a brief moment, then looked at his expressionless sister, "What happened on the night after the college entrance exam that I wasn’t allowed to know about?"
It was clear whose side he was on.
When Nan Wan saw Shen Zhimei leaning in Third Brother’s arms and winking at her, she felt like going down the mountain immediately.
After receiving a helpless look from Mrs. Mu, Mu Jin Huan casually glanced at Nan Ze, "If you’re so idle, can’t you go gather some more firewood?"
The secrets of Mrs. Mu’s youth were just for him to hear alone.
Why is being a brother so nosy?
Nan Ze calmly countered, "You’re idler than me, it suits you better to go."
Compared to Mu Jin Huan, who only had a soda can in hand, he was now holding his warm, soft jade, clearly unable to free himself and had no time to worry about other things.
Mr. Mu was instantly defeated by Third Brother’s easy-going demeanor, and Mrs. Mu felt a bit hopeless, wishing she could become deaf.
Because Shen Zhimei, the instigator, said:
"That night, the not-yet-eighteen Nan Wan Classmate brought a box of beer and, against all odds, collapsed after only half a bottle. She sang ’Two Tigers’ all night on the playground and clung to our homeroom teacher, asking when she could marry him?"
"Our senior-year homeroom teacher’s surname was Li. He extended every class, so the students nicknamed him ’Late King Li.’ It was said that ever since the night after the college entrance exam when the married Mr. Li was tearfully proposed to by Nan Wan, the principal called him to the office for a conversation every day."
"The apprehensive principal was very worried about his subordinate causing trouble, checking repeatedly and tirelessly to confirm that there were no emotional entanglements between Mr. Li and Nan Wan other than a teacher-student relationship."
By the time Nan Wan took the entrance exam, Nan Ze had already joined the company, so of course, he wouldn’t know these ’little things’ that happened at school.
After listening, the corners of his eyes lifted with an amused smile.
The utterly embarrassed Nan Wan greatly regretted not stopping Shen Zhimei earlier because... even Mu Jin Huan, who just now was protective of her, had a teasing smile at the corner of his lips as he looked at her.
She decided to find a quiet place to be alone.
After a nonchalant ’humph,’ she stood up and started walking to the edge of the group, disdainfully leaving the man’s suit jacket on the chair before setting off.
Mu Jin Huan watched her retreating figure, which seemed to be saying ’I’m not happy,’ and a pampering smile gradually enveloped his dark eyes, his lips forming an increasingly evident curve.
He tilted his head back and finished the beer in his can, then stood up.
Ever unwilling, Huo Ran finally seized the opportunity and hurried over, "Auntie, did you quarrel?"
Amidst the chaos in her heart, Nan Wan didn’t bother to argue with her about the disrespectful ’auntie’ remarks.
She rested her arm on the railing, gazing up at the stunningly beautiful starry sky, and nonchalantly replied, "Yeah, why don’t you seize the chance?"
"No, no, no, Auntie, you misunderstood," Huo Ran quickly clarified, "I think the one sitting next to your husband is even more handsome, especially when he smiles faintly with his lips curled... oh my mom! It took my breath away! Auntie, can you be generous and forgiving, and give me his number?"
The speed at which Grandma Huo transferred her affections was comparable to a mouse right-click refreshing.
Nan Wan chuckled, seemingly disappointed, and shook her head in resignation, "Your love is just too fleeting."
Today’s youth don’t have enough assignments.
"Don’t be stingy, sister," Huo Ran saw that she didn’t want to engage, so she tactfully changed the address and said with a beaming smile, "We’re relatives, even if distantly. That woman deliberately cozying up to the male god doesn’t seem like an easy match. She made you angry earlier, didn’t she? I’ll successfully intervene and have the male god dump her to avenge you."
As Nan Ze rarely appeared in public, it was understandable that Huo Ran, who grew up abroad, didn’t recognize him.
With her chattering interruptions, Nan Wan forgot the chest-tightening sense of speechlessness she felt earlier.
After seriously considering it for a few seconds, she shook her head, "You’re not up to it."
"Why?"
Nan Wan patted her shoulder for comfort, "My Third Brother has only loved one person in this life. Try harder in the next one."
Huo Ran, "..."
Oh... the waters of the West Lake, her tears.
Have all these exceptionally handsome, devoted men been taken by pigs already?
Qing City is really not kind to her at all.

Tonight, the experts finally redeemed themselves.
At 1:05 AM, the meteor shower everyone had been eagerly awaiting arrived as promised.
Slicing through the night sky like a curtain, the silvery streaks were bright enough to transform the tranquil sky into something dreamlike.
Nan Wan clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and began to make a wish.
Her wishes were numerous, spanning from January to December, not missing a single day.
From the first word, to the last word finished, everything was about him.
Even when she opened her eyes, entering her view, was him.
Her elegant eyebrows and eyes radiated a gentle, beautiful smile as she softly spoke, "Mr. Mu, you’re in my way."
Within Mrs. Mu’s eyes, there was a radiance rare enough to outshine the meteor shower that had been rare over these decades. Mu Jin Huan wrapped his arms around her soft body.
His long fingers lifted the woman’s chin, his deep-set features warm and handsome, the arc of his lips indulgent, he lowered his head and kissed her crimson lips, "Mrs. Mu, you can close your eyes now."
