The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1356: Chapter 717: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – So What if There’s a Big Age Gap? It’s Not Like We’re Grandfather and Granddaughter

Ning Wan’s face darkened. What she hated most was people saying she was too young, that the age gap between her and Xi Mohan was too big. Just like before, when she’d shamelessly chased after him, tons of people said the age difference was way too big, that they were basically

not suitable at all. Not to mention, back then Xi Mohan absolutely loathed and despised her, and a lot of people said there wasn’t even the slightest possibility between them.

It’s just that these past few days, Xi Mohan had been way too good to her, to the point that she’d deliberately chosen to forget about a lot of problems.

Xi Mohan stood beside Ning Wan, lowered his eyes to glance at her, and quickly noticed that her little face was tinged with a thin layer of anger, her cheeks puffed up.

He was just about to say something, but before he could, he heard her speak up righteously, "So what if the age gap is big? It’s not like it’s some grandpa-granddaughter romance... Besides, I’m going to be way prettier than you in the future. With the way you look, you still dare to covet my man? Maybe go look in a mirror first and see what kind of face that plastic-surgery special of yours is."

Not only were her words extremely self-assured, her tone was full-on provocative. Clearly this woman had poked right at her sore spot, making her bristle all over like a hedgehog.

When Xi Mohan heard what Ning Wan said, his gaze deepened a little, and he stared at her puffed-up little face, momentarily dazed.

Later, many years down the line, when he had completely lost all news of her, when he was alone and helpless in his own emotional world, he would always recall this scene without meaning to. Those words of hers were like a brand burned deep into his heart. Every time he thought of them, it felt like a giant hand clenched tightly around his heart, the pain almost taking his breath away.

The woman’s face turned green then white when she heard Ning Wan’s words, looking absolutely awful. She’d never expected this little brat to be so sharp-tongued.

She also hadn’t expected that her plastic surgery had actually been seen through.

Because of Ning Wan’s little speech, she could clearly feel the strange looks everyone around was giving her. This store had always been one of her favorites, a place she frequented. Now that Ning Wan had made such a scene, she felt like she’d lost all her face.

She opened her mouth, about to argue back, but realized she couldn’t think of a single reason. After all, she really had been eyeing this man just now. And although Ning Wan’s face still carried a bit of childishness, you could already see that her features were excellent; she was definitely going to grow into a stunning beauty.

Ning Wan, however, had no intention of paying her any more attention. She just grabbed Xi Mohan’s hand and said, "Let’s go back."

Xi Mohan lowered his head and glanced at her hand holding his, his thin lips pressing together slightly.

If he was the one holding Ning Wan, he wouldn’t think much of it, but with Ning Wan holding him, he felt a strange sensation in his chest.

The shop assistant had already packed up all the outfits Xi Mohan had chosen. After paying, the man carried all the clothes in his hand and walked out right behind the fuming Ning Wan.

They walked all the way to where the car was parked by the road before Ning Wan finally stopped angrily, then turned back to look at Xi Mohan behind her and asked, "Do you have a thing for that woman from just now?"

The man frowned, gave her a faint sideways look, and instead of answering, asked back, "You blind?"

That woman’s looks were so-so, not exactly the stunning type, and with his status, what kind of woman couldn’t he get?

Besides, it was obvious at a glance that her character wasn’t great. It’d be weird if he were into a woman like that.

But Ning Wan was truly pissed this time, and she ignored all of that.

Seeing Xi Mohan stop paying attention to her and instead carry the clothes to the back seat, open the car door, and put them in, she suddenly had the urge to bite him to death.

If he’s not interested, why did he let her chatter away next to my ear like that?

Back then, whenever she talked beside him, he would either snap at her or the air pressure would plummet.

"..."

Because of this, Ning Wan was genuinely angry this time. She didn’t sit in the front passenger seat, choosing instead to sit in the back. Xi Mohan didn’t think much of it and drove straight back to the hotel.

But once they got back to the hotel room, Ning Wan immediately locked herself in the guest bedroom. From the moment they got in the car to their arrival at the hotel, she didn’t look at him once, much less speak. Compared to the ride there, where the little girl had been full of questions about the city’s history and everything, the difference was dramatic.

After Ning Wan went back to the room, she actually suddenly regretted this impulsive tantrum.

First, she might’ve been a bit unreasonable this time. Second... what if Xi Mohan got mad later, and when he headed back, he just left her here and didn’t take her back to An City?

The more she thought about it, the more she regretted it.

But she also didn’t want to just walk out and admit she was wrong.

...,

It wasn’t until the next morning, when hunger woke her up, that she opened the door. Normally, Xi Mohan wouldn’t get up this early. She’d just checked the time—it wasn’t even seven yet.

But when she saw the man cooking in the open kitchen next to the living room, her steps abruptly halted.

The presidential suite, which cost a hundred thousand a day, wasn’t just luxuriously decorated. It had two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. There was even a bar in the living room. Most importantly, the space was huge, basically on par with those small apartments you see in real estate ads.

Maybe he’d heard the sound of the door opening behind him, because the man, who’d been preparing food, turned around and took a look at Ning Wan—her hair a mess, clearly not washed up yet, wearing only the hotel bathrobe. His brows furrowed slightly, and his thin lips parted as he said calmly, "Go wash your face, brush your teeth, and change your clothes."

Ning Wan instinctively let out an "oh," then turned and headed toward the bathroom in her room.

She’d only taken two steps when the man behind her called out to stop her. "There’s sleepwear among the clothes we bought yesterday. From now on, wear the pajamas. Don’t wear the hotel bathrobe."

Ning Wan stopped and turned back to look at him, asking in confusion, "Why?"

The man let his gaze trail up and down over her once, then said nothing and turned back to continue preparing the food.

Ning Wan lowered her head and looked at the bathrobe on her body, immediately catching sight of the bra exposed at her chest. Her face flushed bright red, and she spun around, quickly darting back into her room and slamming the door shut with a bang.

Hearing the loud slam, the corners of Xi Mohan’s mouth lifted slightly into a faint, almost imperceptible smile. His mood was pretty good.

Although Ning Wan’s body hadn’t fully developed yet, probably because her skin was so good, with that black bra showing, her neck and collarbones looked especially pretty. It was quite the pleasing sight.
