The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1325: Chapter 685: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc - I’m Not Interested in a Bean Sprout Figure

After Xi Mohan closed the guest room door, he locked it out of habit, then walked straight to the bed and covered Ning Wan with the quilt in his hand. The girl, who was curled up into a ball sleeping, hugged the blanket instantly, a satisfied look appearing on her face.

The man stood by the bed, lowering his eyes to glance at Ning Wan, who continued to sleep soundly. A faint smile appeared in his eyes. He bent down and gently pulled the quilt out of her arms. When she shifted slightly, he dared not move any further, his gaze fixed on her. But since Ning Wan didn’t wake up, he then released the quilt to create a space, went to the balcony to close the door, turned off the room lights, and lay down on the other side of the bed in the dark.

Once in bed, Xi Mohan did not move, but waited quietly. Sure enough, after a while, the girl who had been sleeping on the other side began to slowly move towards him and soon snuggled into his arms.

He deliberately set the air conditioning in the room to the lowest temperature. Although the room wasn’t as cold as winter, it wasn’t much different, and since Ning Wan was someone afraid of the cold, she naturally would unconsciously snuggle towards a heat source.

This was something he discovered after sleeping with Ning Wan twice before.

You could say he was a bit despicable.

Because he never planned to deny using such despicable tactics to approach Ning Wan.

The scent of body wash and shampoo from the girl lingered in the air. Clearly, they both used the same brand, but he felt Ning Wan’s scent was more pleasant.

With this thought, he couldn’t help but place one hand on Ning Wan’s waist, the other under her neck, pulling her fully into his arms. Listening to her steady breathing, Xi Mohan soon fell asleep.

...

When Ning Wan woke up the next day, she felt discomfort in her waist and neck, as if she had slept the wrong way.

Sunlight poured in from the balcony, directly onto the floor. She lay in bed, staring at the ceiling for a while before sitting up stiffly, then gazing blankly at the scenery outside the balcony.

Unlike her restless sleep at the Ning Family house, she found her sleep here much improved. She hadn’t dreamed at all, unlike in the old Ning Family residence where nightmares often woke her. Last night, she slept without a single dream.

Lost in thought, staring at the scenery outside the balcony, the door, originally closed, suddenly opened from the outside. Startled, Ning Wan immediately looked towards the door, only to see a man walking in. She quickly grabbed a pillow to cover her chest, her voice tinged with displeasure, "You... why didn’t you knock? What if I wasn’t dressed?"

Xi Mohan was buttoning up his shirt, intending to check if Ning Wan had fallen out of bed, as she was quite restless in her sleep last night. She almost fell out several times if not for his quick reflexes.

Upon hearing her words, he paused slightly, then looked at her with a laugh, saying, "Even if you weren’t dressed, there’s nothing to see. A bean sprout figure doesn’t interest me."

As soon as he spoke, Ning Wan’s face flushed crimson with anger, "You... what’s wrong with a bean sprout figure? I’m still young."

At just in her teens and still a minor, she was in her growing phase. What’s wrong with a bean sprout figure? She would eventually be curvy, with slender legs and as beautiful as a flower, hum!

The man’s expression didn’t change, and he didn’t say more. When turning to leave, he casually said, "Since you’re awake, get up and wash. We’ll have breakfast later. There’s a crutch by the bedside."

Ning Wan glanced over to indeed see a crutch by the bed, but she replied dissatisfied, "Why give me a crutch? I’m not disabled."

Almost at the door, the man’s footsteps halted. Turning back, he spoke unhurriedly, "You’re not much different from being disabled right now."

Ning Wan, "..." This man’s words were increasingly unpleasant.

Xi Mohan didn’t pay her any more attention, closing the door behind him as he left the room.

Rumors of ’The second young lady of the Ning Family moving into a man’s house on the night of her parents’ funeral, giving into debauchery’ spread without restraint, swamping every headline in An City.

The news explicitly stated that Ning Wan, right after her parents’ passing, had entangled herself with a man, although that man’s identity was concealed as ’a mysterious man’. Instantly, whether online or in reality, people began hurling verbal abuse and insults at Ning Wan.

Xi Mohan, sitting in his office, held the newspaper, his smile growing colder. The article not only subtly tarnished Ning Wan’s reputation but also took jabs at her parents.

But he... took on the role of ’the mysterious man’.

The assistant stood cautiously before Xi Mohan, hesitated for a while before speaking, "President, should we immediately find out who’s behind this?"

The assistant naturally knew that Ning Wan was currently living with their boss, so he promptly reported this to Xi Mohan.

He clearly saw someone deliberately slandering Ning Wan, and likely out of fear of offending their president, they implied their boss with the term ’mysterious man’.

Understanding Xi Mohan’s feelings towards the Ning Family’s second young lady clearer than anyone, he promptly requested guidance on how to proceed.

Xi Mohan placed the newspaper on the desk, curling up the corners of his mouth in a cold smile, "No need, let the matter continue to ferment."

The assistant was taken aback, momentarily unsure of the president’s intentions.

The man lifted his eyes to the assistant, raising his eyebrows slightly, speaking in a cool tone, "Don’t let Ning Wan know about this for now. The newspapers can report it, but prevent it from appearing on the news."

Ning Wan could watch TV at the villa, and if it hit the news, she’d definitely see it.

As for newspapers and magazines, just don’t let her see them. But if you prevent her from watching TV, she’d realize something was up, even if she’s not too perceptive.

Understanding, the assistant swiftly replied, "Understood, President, I’ll arrange it right away."
