Heaven and earth, she was sincere and didn’t an to mock him.
Mu Jin Huan squeezed his empty palm, his brows slightly furrowed, his voice calm and steady, "What do you want to say?"
It seed those two had also seen them and were coming this way.
Nan Wan turned her head, smiled at him, "What do you an by what I want?"
This ti she did it on purpose.
Mu Jin Huan’s gaze on her was deep and unfathomable, "Mrs. Mu, have you forgotten what I told you?"
Nan Wan wisely put away the joke and tease.
Ji Wanxia tried several tis but couldn’t pull her hand out, so she gave up, after all, she couldn’t afford to provoke a jealous man.
Stopping a couple of steps away, her ink-like brows and eyes carried a smile, "Brother, have you been waiting long?"
"Just arrived," Mu Jin Huan’s voice was calm, reaching out to bring the person beside him closer, "This is your sister-in-law, Nan Wan."
Ji Wanxia’s gaze shifted, her voice soft, "Hello, sister-in-law, I’m Ji Wanxia, and this is my husband, Gu Shaozhi."
Her delicate brows and rain-smokey eyes, with a smile like a spring breeze, truly defined the essence of a classic beauty.
Even as she spoke, she didn’t forget to exchange a glance with her husband beside her, brief though it was, the unconcealed affection lingered sweetly in the air.
Even the protagonists in a youthful romance drama couldn’t appear as attractive and matched.
Between the two n, besides the simplest of pleasantries, there was no excess exchange.
This Gu Shaozhi carried an air of refined nobility, yet the clarity in his eyes seed only a facade.
At the age of 28, to already dominate the business world, with Huo Yihan being overshadowed, how could he be a simple character.
Nan Wan always felt the arm across her lower back deliberately pinched her, not painfully, but with so force.
"Hello," her gaze moved to Ji Wanxia’s face, offering a gracious smile, "You must be tired after the long flight?"
Ji Wanxia was not new to the expressionless look of the two n, simply pulled her hand out forcefully, pretending not to see Gu Shaozhi’s frown of displeasure.
She proactively linked arms with Nan Wan, "Not bad, it’s just that it’s seemingly colder here than in An City."
Thanks to Qin Zhenzhen’s persistent efforts, Nan Wan was no longer as uncomfortable with such intimate gestures as she was initially.
Subtly, she moved the hand around her waist away, "Indeed, your brother has booked a hotel, we can chat more over dinner."
Ji Wanxia deliberately feigned a wronged look, retreating back to her husband’s side, "Tsk tsk, sister-in-law, look at my brother’s face, I wouldn’t dare fight you for him, Shaozhi’s driver has gone ahead, we’ll follow your car."
With such light-hearted banter, even if the aura between the two n didn’t match, the scene wasn’t awkward.
Nan Wan just smiled, "Okay."
The privileged girl could be so fearlessly confident.
In the airport hall, two pairs walked one behind the other, both possessing exceptional looks and temperant, simply walking made them the most captivating sight.

In the car.
After fastening her seatbelt, the man’s gaze stayed on her face, he looked up, smilingly asked, "Why are you looking at like that?"
Mu Jin Huan regarded the face that was no different from any other day, his expression as distant as a fogged mountain peak, "They will stay until the wedding is over."
"Isn’t that only expected?" Nan Wan blinked, lowering her head to fix the hair pressed by the seatbelt, "I think your brother-in-law is quite nice, he’s co all the way here, even if you don’t quite fancy him, you should tolerate it, shouldn’t you?"
It’s like a father watching his cherished daughter marry into another family; even if the other person is young and promising, successful in career, and has the best looks and family background, he still feels this son-in-law isn’t better than himself.
"Nice..." Mu Jin Huan repeated these words, with a seemingly indifferent glance at the woman in the passenger seat, asked with interest, "In less than two minutes, you can tell soone is nice?"
Nan Wan caught the implication in his tone, unbuttoning her coat while explaining, "I can’t really tell his character, but the way he looks at your sister is exactly the sa as my brother looks at Shen Zhii, I won’t mistake that."
Mu Jin Huan didn’t deny it; if Gu Shaozhi wasn’t serious about Wanwan, he wouldn’t tolerate a marriage starting as a transaction of money and sex to continue.
One hand was on the steering wheel, the other reached over to tuck her loose hair behind her ear, his voice low, "Then do you know how I look at you?"
Hearing this, Nan Wan’s fingers montarily paused.
Then she turned her head to et the man’s gaze, smilingly, "Those involved are confused, those observing are clear, doesn’t Mr. Mu understand this principle yet?"
Mu Jin Huan chuckled, "You speak a lot of sense."
He pressed his lips together, softly urged, "Drive the car."
————
After getting in the car, Ji Wanxia smiled, discussing in a calm tone with the man, "Gu Shaozhi, could you be a bit more considerate?"
His ink-colored eyes showed no hint of a smile, exuding intense displeasure, aristocratic and indifferent, "What do you want to be considerate about?"
Good, still with a look as if to say, ’I’m the master here, I’ll do as I please,’ with not an ounce of self-awareness.
Not enough presence, even her tongue was getting tied, "In public, under the bright heaven, hugging all over, what’s that about?"
Gu Shaozhi’s face was elegant and detached, his deanor coldly proud, "If you stop glancing at your brother, watch where you’re going and don’t twist your ankle, I wouldn’t spend energy to toss you into the car."
Ji Wanxia’s smile could barely hold, "Gu Shaozhi, that’s enough, starting from yesterday you’ve been giving the cold shoulder, isn’t it over yet?"
She only glanced once, and it was just because there was ice on the steps that she didn’t step securely.
Gu Shaozhi’s face darkened; she learned to strike first?
He coldly laughed at her composed face, closed his eyes and said nothing more, exuding a strong sense of aggression.
The car was quiet again.
The driver was used to it, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu’s daily routine of bickering had started again.
Though the intensity of their battles was not small, after hearing it for a while, it seed more like flirtatious banter.
Only it was hard for him, the single dog, pretending not to hear, yet how could he not hear.
