Nan Wan paused briefly, then quickly resud her actions as if she hadn’t heard anything, skillfully selecting a few everyday vegetables and placing them in the cart.
Although Nan Wan only eats vegetarian, Shen Zhii is an omnivore, so the refrigerator is well-stocked with at and doesn’t need replenishing.
Sotis, she truly admires Mrs. Nan, soone who has one or two surgeries almost every week, yet never bats an eye when eating animal organs.
As she thought about it, Nan Wan decided that after settling this al, it would be best not to et again. So, to satisfy this formidable character she couldn’t afford to offend, she added two more items, "We can go now."
Mu Jinhuan glanced at the uniformly green items in the cart and twitched the corner of his mouth.
If soone didn’t know better, they might think she was feeding rabbits.
That night at the Western restaurant, she didn’t touch the steak at all. Apart from the red wine, she only had dessert.
So, she’s a vegetarian...
He responded without giving anything away, "Mm."
At this mont, a seven or eight-year-old boy was using a cart like a toy, speeding straight towards Nan Wan.
With her back turned, Nan Wan didn’t notice the impending danger approaching her.
Mu Jinhuan, quick-sighted and quick-handed, grabbed the woman’s arm, pulling her away and avoiding an accident.
Nan Wan was startled by his sudden action, a bit puzzled, her hands against the man’s chest, she asked softly, "What’s wrong?"
Mu Jinhuan’s dark eyes were swirling with hidden currents, "Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
The distance between them was incredibly close, and the man’s arm around Nan Wan’s waist was surprisingly strong, almost pressing them together.
The clean and unique scent belonging to the man seeped into every pore, and she seed to clearly see her own reflection in those eyes, as deep as pools.
It felt like if she held his gaze for another second, she’d fall into it.
Quickly, she turned her head, averting her gaze, just in ti to see the little boy being scolded by his parent.
She nudged the man’s chest, reminding him to let go, "No, I’m fine."
Mu Jinhuan’s dark eyes were as deep as the sea, with those vivid lips moving up close, and the light pressure on his chest, it felt like a feather tickling his heart, making it itch.
His Adam’s apple rolled, suddenly... he wanted to kiss her.
His brows twitched, but reason prevailed, so he did nothing.
He withdrew the arm around her waist, stepping back two steps, "If there’s nothing else you need, let’s go."
Before Nan Wan could speak, a voice full of surprise called out from afar, "Doctor Nan, long ti no see!"
It was Aunt Chen from next door, who once fainted in the stairwell and was just happened upon by Nan Wan coming downstairs, saving her life.
Since then, Aunt Chen treated Nan Wan as her lifesaver, always sending her a share of any good things her family received.
Aunt Chen was getting on in years and didn’t watch much news, so she wasn’t aware of anything between Nan Wan and Lu Li.
All she wished for was that Nan Wan could be her daughter-in-law in the future, so she always found opportunities to matchmake her with her youngest son.
Nan Wan turned around, politely nodded, and greeted, "Hello, Aunt Chen."
But she vaguely felt a tingling sensation in her scalp, as expected...
"Is this Doctor Nan’s boyfriend?"
Not only was her tone unfriendly, but even her look at Mu Jinhuan carried hostility.
Nan Wan held her forehead, a bit helpless, "Just a friend."
