Chapter 116: 114. Doctor Nan is celebrating his birthday today, how come you didn’t know? _3

Nan Chengzhi just caught his breath, barely able to speak, "Wanwan said you had it, there can be no mistake."

Jiang Xiaoman’s face went cold as she sat up in bed, glaring at him, "You believe her just because she said so?"

Nan Chengzhi didn’t want to argue with her, sighed, and put aside the tablet as he sat at the edge of the bed, quite helpless, "She wouldn’t lie."

Jiang Xiaoman’s eyes rolled, she snuggled into his embrace and softened her voice, "Honey, are you implying I’m lying?"

On the surface, she was acting coquettishly, but inside she was sneering.

Having ignored them for so many years, trying to play the loving father now might be too late.

Nan Chengzhi was also a man, and naturally, he fell for this, patting her back, patiently coaxing, "That old-fashioned piece is of no use to you, give it to Nan Wan, and I’ll buy you a new set of jewelry."

"Now that Nan Wan isn’t alone, the two from the Mu family are kind to her, shouldn’t we be generous too?"

Jiang Xiaoman thought for a moment; since that girl had asked for it, she must be confident.

If she didn’t give it today, she would offend Mu Jin Huan and anger Nan Chengzhi.

After weighing her options, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and searched through the jewelry box.

She threw the jade pendant into the man’s arms, deliberately showing she was upset, "Here you go."

Then she returned to bed, turning her back on him, pulled up the quilt, and closed her eyes.

Today it’s the jade pendant, tomorrow what else will it be....

When Nan Wan came out of the study holding the jade pendant, Barton was lying by the stairs, looking in the direction of the door as if waiting for her for a long time.

Seeing her, he immediately stood up, trotting over to her, his black eyes staring straight at her.

Nan Wan leaned over, stroking Barton’s head, gently asking, "Do you want to go with me?"

Barton seemed to understand, raising his drooping head, barking twice.

Nan Wan crouched down, cupping Barton’s face, rubbing her nose against it affectionately, "It’s my fault, I haven’t had time to take care of you, leaving you here for so long."

Barton seemed to enjoy this closeness, his tail wagging happily.

When the butler saw Nan Wan coming down from the second floor, he quickly went to fetch her coat and handbag.

But he noticed Barton intending to leave with her, "Miss Nan Wan, the dog..."

Nan Wan put on her coat, pulled her long hair out of the collar, took the bag from the butler’s hands, and said calmly, "If anyone asks, just say I took him."

The butler was a bit embarrassed, "But..."

Nan Wan looked over with a serene gaze, "Barton was brought back by me, don’t I have the right to take him away?"

The butler suddenly felt a chill, clearly seeing someone kind and hearing a gentle voice.

But there was a sense of invisible pressure.

He stepped forward to open the door for Nan Wan, speaking respectfully, "...If Madam asks, I will reply according to Miss’s words."

Liu An had waited in the car for less than half an hour, so he hadn’t yawned even once.

Seeing the big golden retriever, he stood by the car, not daring to move, his legs trembling, "Madam, what...what is this?"

Nan Wan opened the car door herself, letting Barton in first, glancing at Liu An, who seemed paralyzed, "It’s not particularly cold, did half an hour freeze your brain?"

Liu An: "..."

For goodness’ sake, he was bitten by a dog as a child, and the shadow still lingers now!

Rubbing his hands together, he forced a flattering smile, mustering up the courage, only to be completely doused by a single sentence, "I’m very tired, shut your mouth."

Liu An: "..."

————

After Nan Wan finished her bath, Barton immediately came forward, circling around her legs.

Wherever she went, the little tail followed, slightly helpless...

Perhaps it was the new environment that he was not accustomed to.

In the end, she gave in, "Alright, alright, I’ll accompany you, is that okay?"

The golden retriever gazed up with glistening eyes, showing his gratitude.

Nan Wan sat on the carpet, letting Barton sleep by her side.

She reached her arm to the table, taking the bag from it.

Holding the jade pendant in her hand, she could clearly feel the carved patterns on it.

The floor heating was ample, and the fluffy carpet was warm. Nan Wan lay down beside Barton, and before closing her eyes, she picked up the phone, turning on the screen.

Aside from some miscellaneous messages, there were no texts or calls from him.

Nan Wan, isn’t this what you wanted?

You give him a house, he gives you protection, no talk of emotions, only business, maintaining mutual respect would be best.
