The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1359: Chapter 720: Xi Mohan’s Depression 2

This little girl has always been so cautious around me, as if I’m some kind of villain who might sell her off at any moment.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems she’s never treated me like she does this man, laughing and chatting with him.

The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became.

If Ning Wan knew what Xi Mohan was thinking, she would definitely cry injustice.

She also wanted to laugh and chat with him, but Xi Mohan had always kept a cold face, making such a scenario unimaginable.

After hearing the boy’s words, Ning Wan waited until she had calmed down before explaining, "Yes, I know him."

The boy breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this and directly addressed Xi Mohan, "Sir, you seem to be quite familiar with this city?"

Xi Mohan kept a cold face, saying nothing.

Ning Wan raised her hand and couldn’t help pinching the flesh on his arm, signaling him not to be so cold and scare the person.

But the man only glanced down at her faintly, his attitude very clear—he just wouldn’t speak.

The expression on the boy’s face immediately turned awkward, realizing his enthusiasm was misplaced.

Ning Wan chuckled awkwardly and spoke to the boy, "Sorry, that’s just his personality, don’t mind it."

The boy shook his head, "It’s okay."

Ning Wan continued, "He is indeed familiar with this city. Didn’t you say you have an important class this afternoon? You should head back to school. We can walk around on our own."

"But I haven’t finished my work yet..."

"It’s alright, I’m the one asking you to leave, and you’ve done a great job today too."

The boy noticed the closeness between the two. Although Ning Wan looked quite young, having stayed here for a while, his mindset had opened up a lot compared to before, so he chose not to say much more. Anyway, they were mostly done eating, so he stood up and spoke to Ning Wan, "In that case, I’ll head back first. Thanks for the meal, Miss Ning. I’ll treat you next time."

"Okay, it’s a deal." Although she was about to return to her home country and knew the meal might not happen, she agreed out of politeness.

Xi Mohan, "..."

Next time?

She still wants a next time?

And Ning Wan actually agreed?

Suddenly, the man’s mood darkened even further, his face practically dripping with water.

The boy didn’t stay much longer. After seeing Ning Wan agree, he left directly.

Once the boy left, Ning Wan turned to the man beside her with a face as dark as water and asked, "Why are you here? Aren’t you busy with work?"

The man turned his head to look at her, his eyes cold, but he spoke, "What? Don’t want to see me?"

Ning Wan, "... No, I just thought you didn’t have time to come out and play, busy with work."

She had a flattering smile on her face when she said this.

Because she had naturally also noticed that Xi Mohan seemed to be in a very bad mood, and although she didn’t know the reason, it was best to play it safe.

Xi Mohan ignored her and called over the waiter, asking them to clear the table and order a few new dishes.

Seeing him browsing the menu, Ning Wan swallowed hard and asked, "Haven’t you eaten yet?"

Xi Mohan ignored her.

Ning Wan, "... I haven’t eaten enough either, shall I join you?"

"No need." This time, he directly answered with a cold two-word reply.

Ning Wan froze instantly, then felt very aggrieved.

She really hadn’t eaten enough; her meal was interrupted when Xi Mohan suddenly appeared.

Xi Mohan was also speaking French with the waiter. Ning Wan sat there, not understanding a word. Originally, she wanted to leave directly, but then she remembered that she didn’t know anyone here, and she didn’t speak the language, so she immediately gave up that idea.

When ordering, Xi Mohan still added two more dishes. His earlier refusal to have dinner with Ning Wan was just out of anger; he really wasn’t that petty.

After the waiter left, Xi Mohan turned his head to look at Ning Wan, his tone dark, "You seemed to get along well with that boy earlier?"

Ning Wan was taken aback, not understanding what he meant by that, nor could she have guessed that he was angry because she was getting along with another man, so she simply nodded honestly.

Seeing Ning Wan admit it directly, Xi Mohan’s mood became even worse. He took out his phone and started checking emails, ignoring her.

Ning Wan, "... Did I say something wrong?"

...

The matter of Ning Wan being rescued by Xi Mohan from Nan Moyan was quickly known to Ning Yan’er, the only planner, who almost lost her temper again, nearly smashing everything.

Sitting in the room, Ning Yan’er’s face was twisted with a hideous expression, speaking through gritted teeth, "Ning Wan, that little bitch, still managed to have such a good pregnancy. Why didn’t she just die in F country, die by those people’s hands?"

She had thought that Nan Moyan and his people were those who take lives without a thought, so she had held high hopes from the start, but she hadn’t expected that they hadn’t really done anything to Ning Wan, just took her to F country, yet Xi Mohan rescued her untouched.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and Ning Yan’er came back to her senses, not standing up but speaking faintly to the person outside, "Who is it?"

"Little Yan!"

Hearing this voice, Ning Yan’er suddenly stood up, hastily walking towards the door.

Grandfather...

The one knocking was Old Master Ning. Ning Yan’er didn’t know why he was looking for her, but she stood up and quickly approached the door.

Old Master Ning hadn’t been living at the Ning Family’s old residence recently, probably to avoid recalling his deceased son and triggering his grief, so he moved to another place to live.

Ning Yan’er hurriedly tidied up her expression, knowing she’d managed to control herself earlier and hadn’t trashed the room; otherwise, she thought her grandfather would likely not just dislike her but also get angry.

The old man didn’t really like her to begin with, she wasn’t oblivious to that. She just didn’t understand why he didn’t like her and favored Ning Wan, that little bitch, instead.

Yet she hadn’t said anything, nor had she pointed it out, just always pretending not to know and continuing to act obediently in front of the old man.

Walking to the door, Ning Yan’er opened it with a smile, "Grandfather, you’re back."
