The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1323: Chapter 683: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – Proposal for Elder Ning to Send Second Lady Ning Abroad

When Ning Wan still hadn’t sorted out her thoughts, Xi Mohan had already taken her directly back to the villa, and she was inexplicably arranged to stay in the guest room on the second floor, just a few rooms away from Xi Mohan’s bedroom.

After arranging her in the guest room, Xi Mohan left directly, without saying where he went, but guessing casually, she figured he went to the study.

Because at this time, he couldn’t possibly sleep so early.

The guest room is cleaned daily, and she took a glance at the room. Many of the items were in more girlish color schemes, like the pink bedsheets and curtains swapped to more girl-like colors.

Ning Wan thought carefully and recalled that she seemed to have stayed in this room last night as well. At that time, the room’s decor and furnishings leaned towards cooler tones, much like the guest rooms at the Ning Family’s old house.

She understood somewhat in her heart, probably Xi Mohan had someone...

As she was in a daze, the door was knocked on, and Ning Wan snapped back, looking directly to the door. Due to her injured leg, she couldn’t get up to open it, so she warmly said just two words to the person outside, "Come in."

The door opened, a servant entered directly, saw Ning Wan sitting there, and went over with a few sets of clothes in hand, "Miss Ning, these are clothes Mr. Xi prepared for you."

Ning Wan’s gaze fell on the clothes in the aunty’s hands, but her expression didn’t change. She nodded directly, "Hm, just leave them here."

Upon hearing this, the servant placed the clothes down but didn’t leave immediately; instead, she looked at Ning Wan and said, "Miss Ning, I am a servant of this villa, you can call me Aunt Li. I used to be responsible for Mr. Xi’s meals. Since Mr. Xi said you’ll be living here now, is there any dish you particularly like? I can start preparing from tomorrow."

Will be living here from now on...

Hearing that, Ning Wan suddenly looked up at Aunt Li standing there, but instead of answering, she asked, "Did your Mr. Xi say I’ll be living here?"

Aunt Li nodded, "Yes, Miss Ning, didn’t you... know?"

Ning Wan’s brows furrowed slightly; she indeed didn’t know.

Because she thought Xi Mohan only let her stay here at most for a day or two, never imagining he intended for her to live here.

Aunt Li’s gaze fell on Ning Wan, showing a gentle smile, but her tone remained unchanged, "No woman has lived in the villa before, Miss Ning is the only one Mr. Xi personally brought back. Mr. Xi should be..." Here, she paused, switched topic, saying, "Your foot is injured now, do you need help with bathing?"

Ning Wan shook her head directly, "No, thank you, I can do it myself."

Aunt Li didn’t persist, nodded, "Alright then, I won’t disturb Miss Ning’s rest further."

Ning Wan responded with a hum.

After the servant left, Ning Wan sat by the bed, turned her head to look at the window, slightly lost in thought.

Actually, she understood somewhat from Aunt Li’s words just now, but probably... because Xi Mohan’s attitude before was vastly different from now, she still somewhat resisted Xi Mohan.

...

In the study, Xi Mohan sat at the desk, while his secretary stood before him, speaking respectfully, "President, our investigation found that Ning Zezhen is recently taking over the Ning family couple’s powers, and..."

Here, the secretary paused, unsure whether to continue.

Xi Mohan’s gaze fell on the secretary, his voice emotionless, "And what?"

The secretary considered for a moment before continuing, "And Ning Zezhen proposed to Old Master Ning that since Second Lady Ning’s parents just passed away, continuing for her to stay might lead to depression. So Ning Zezhen suggested sending Second Lady Ning abroad..."

He didn’t hide anything, relaying all he knew to Xi Mohan.

Upon hearing, Xi Mohan’s eyes were full of coldness, but he remained silent for a while.

The secretary stayed still, waiting for him to speak.

After about a minute of silence, Xi Mohan looked at the secretary opposite him and said, "Don’t let Ning Wan know about this for now, continue to keep an eye on Ning Zezhen’s side."

The secretary immediately nodded in agreement, "Understood, President."

Xi Mohan leaned back, his gaze falling on the secretary, "If there’s nothing else, you may leave."

The secretary nodded, just about to turn and leave, he suddenly remembered something, turning back toward Xi Mohan, "By the way, President, Ning Zezhen called today wanting to cooperate with our company, what do you think..."

Upon hearing this, Xi Mohan couldn’t hold back a sneer, "So eager to close the gap with me?"

The secretary remained silent; initially he thought Ning Zezhen might be a good person, but didn’t expect Ning Zezhen to be the mastermind behind Ning Wan’s parents’ death.

He didn’t know how to comment on someone who could harm his own brother, but felt such a person lacked humanity.

The man continued to sit there, fingers lightly tapping the table, his voice a bit hoarse, "For cooperation, don’t bother. I’ll handle it myself."

The secretary nodded again, "Alright, President, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now."

Xi Mohan nodded.

Not long after the secretary left, just as Xi Mohan intended to focus on work, his phone rang. He looked at the phone screen, it was an unmarked number, but thanks to his memory, instantly knew the number was... Ning Yan’er’s.

Ning Yan’er calling at this time?

The man furrowed his brows, but answered the call, bringing the phone to his ear.

Before he could speak, Ning Yan’er on the other end called his name directly, "Mo Han..."

Xi Mohan didn’t like others addressing him so intimately unless it was Lu Jingchen, his close friends, and due to his lack of fondness for Ning Yan’er, his face immediately cooled a bit, "What’s the matter?"
