Chapter 541 - 246. Mu Nan’s ending: first, regret not meeting sooner; later, spend the rest of life together.
Listening to the man’s somewhat unclear tone, Nan Wan chuckled lightly, "I’m happy because you’re here to take me home, of course. How could it be because of someone else?"Actually, she didn’t talk much with Bai Ruoshu, just the most ordinary things, nothing involving any privacy.
She was happy because Bai Ruoshu mentioned the children, the two little ones at home. Just thinking about them made her smile unconsciously.
As the waiter was about to approach the fourth person today to ask if they wanted something to drink, Mu Jin Huan waved his hand, and the waiter sensibly walked a bit further away.
A life with no gossip to overhear would basically be as dull as a salted fish with no hope.
"Mrs. Mu is so eloquent today," Mu Jin Huan raised a hand to unbutton a button on his shirt collar, his slow and methodical movements exuding a natural elegance, "it’s somewhat suspicious."
"I’m here to pay respects to a friend. What are you doing in such a remote place?" Nan Wan remained nonchalant, propping her chin with one hand and smiling, "Isn’t that more suspicious?"
Liu An seems to be quite free lately; she might try some pillow talk with him tonight.
With an unchanged expression, Mu Jin Huan calmly replied, "I was just passing by."
Doesn’t she know what kind of person Nan Huaiyu is?
Even if they’re now clearly drawing lines and staying out of each other’s way, who can guarantee he won’t suddenly act out and catch him off guard?
He can’t afford to gamble on anything related to her.
The distance from Mr. Mu’s company to here is quite far; he might be planning a trip to the distant countryside for camping to pass by here.
Nan Wan couldn’t be bothered to argue with him over such trivial matters and got up to loop her arm around his.
In a soft and tender voice, "Alright, from now on, I’ll tell you in advance wherever I go. When we get home, I’ll cook two more of your favorite dishes, so stop giving me the cold shoulder, okay?"
Mu Jin Huan stood up, pulled by the woman, and pinched her cheek with his long fingers, asking leisurely, "Didn’t you just say the same thing the day before yesterday?"
Mrs. Mu’s memory now could be compared to someone with Alzheimer’s.
What she says today, she’ll forget tomorrow.
Hearing the man’s words, the smile on Nan Wan’s lips froze for a moment as she briefly recalled, and it seemed that it was indeed the case.
"This time it’s true," she blinked innocently, rubbing her head against his chest, "I promise."
The length of her hair now just reached past her shoulders, with the ends having a casual and natural wave. The strands of hair on her forehead cast a row of shadows in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The way she blinked and acted coquettishly was especially pleasing to the eye.
Mu Jin Huan felt a softness in his heart but did not fully express it. His chiseled features were half-bathed in the orange-yellow light and half in shadow, with a handsomeness beyond description in words.
He raised a hand to tuck her fallen short hair behind her ear and then dipped his head to place a butterfly-light kiss on her clean cheek.
"What did he say to you?"
Mu Jin Huan didn’t worry about the kind-hearted and gentle Bai Ruoshu; what he wanted to know was about Nan Huaiyu.
The man, tall and upright, stood there without moving, and even another Nan Wan might not be able to pull him away.
Could this be the typical giving of a piece of candy, followed by gentle interrogation?
Hmm, Mr. Mu’s skills are quite advanced.
He matches well with her, a high-IQ angel in white.
Her delicate features revealed a flawless smile, "He said, although our Nan Family has a grudge against him, everything has been settled by now. Setting aside past grievances, he still quite likes me."
Mu Jin Huan, with an unchanged expression and no change in his brows, said three words, "I’m not blind."
Bai Ruoshu’s attitude toward Nan Huaiyu, although not cold, was definitely not dependent or gentle either, as politeness was the etiquette she was taught from a young age.
While the latter’s undisguised eyes were filled with possessive aggression.
Nan Wan raised a hand to adjust the man’s shirt collar, chuckling, "Then why do you ask? He has no improper thoughts about me, just said a few meaningless words that I’ve already forgotten."
With a side glance at the car parked by the roadside, Mu Jin Huan only then wrapped his arm around the woman’s slender waist and walked out of the coffee shop.
His cold and resolute features remained unperturbed, as if simply asking, "Did he like you a lot before?"
Qing City isn’t too big but also not too small, and although their respective families are situated in opposite directions of the city, they inevitably run into each other in some situations.
