As she took two steps outside with Jiashu, a voice filled with a hint of a smile sounded behind her.
"Let’s share a table. No trouble at all."
Upon hearing this, Nan Wan found herself unable to take another step. Just looking at Mu Jinqian’s seemingly knowing, half-smiling eyes, she had a bad feeling, as expected...
...
Zhi i wore a proper smile, naturally turning her head to whisper through gritted teeth, "I asked you to bring one person back, why did you bring back a whole table...?"
Nan Wan ignored her gaze, calmly replying, "Buy one, get three free."
Since Mu Jinqian had already spoken, could she really refuse?
Running into a boss after hours can be unsettling for a mont, but not forever.
The turmoil Nan Wan stirred up recently hadn’t yet subsided, and the director was already displeased with her. Nan Wan understood perfectly that it was Mu Jinqian who had been shielding her in the hospital, largely because of Shen Zhii.
Shen Zhii didn’t particularly object, seeing as Jiashu was evidently delighted, so she accepted it too.
Looking across, although she already guessed, she still asked, "And who might this be?"
Compared to Mu Jinqian’s mild deanor, his features were sharper, with defined brows and deep black eyes, exuding inherent elegance and nobility in every move.
Mu Jinqian cooperatively introduced him while sipping tea, "Mu Jin Huan, my second younger brother, single."
The last two words were quite... strange, as if ant for soone specific to hear.
Is this a matchmaking scene?
Nan Wan lowered her gaze and nudged Shen Zhii’s leg under the table with her toe, hinting for her to eat more and talk less.
However, it didn’t seem to have much effect...
"Hello, I’m Nan Wan’s sister-in-law, Shen Zhii."
Mu Jinh Huan nodded as a gesture, his voice just as usual, "Hello."
Though his attitude was slightly indifferent and distant, Shen Zhii didn’t mind, pretending to be surprised, "Huh?"
Mu Jinqian played along, "What’s the matter?"
Shen Zhii masterfully maintained decorum, skillfully redirecting everyone’s attention to that spot, "This outfit looks a bit familiar..."
When they shook hands, Shen Zhii happened to notice the brand mark on his cuff.
Nanze’s previous clothes often ca from this brand, so she was very familiar with it. It was a high-end custom-made autumn-winter series, understated yet luxurious.
Our Miss Nan knelt at the Nan Family’s villa that night, wrapped in what seed to be this very coat...
Just then, as food was being served, the topic fell to the wayside.
Mu Jin Huan slowly lifted his gaze, a hint of interest gradually layering in his deep eyes, leaning back into his seat, his long fingers lightly tapping on the table, relaxed and leisurely.
In Nan Wan’s eyes, a ripple only she could see flickered. She calmly stepped on her foot again under the table, then stood up with an unchanged expression, speaking softly, "I’m going to the restroom."
What’s up with this Shen Zhii...
And what’s up with this Mu Jin Huan...
Tonight, they shouldn’t have co out to eat, or rather, they shouldn’t have co to this restaurant.
When faced with such an untouchable figure, her digestive system might encounter difficulties operating.
Nan Wan walked to the end of the hallway, seeing the sign for the restroom, she turned in, standing before the washbasin, taking a deep breath.
She rolled up the sleeves of her sweater, turned on the faucet, and splashed a handful of water on her face. The icy temperature cald the inexplicable emotions swirling within her.
She looked up at the mirror and was startled to see soone standing behind her.
She wiped the water droplets off her face with a clean tissue, keeping her expression neutral, "Mr. Mu behaving like this doesn’t seem quite appropriate, does it?"
