Chapter 117: 114. Doctor Nan’s birthday is today; what, you didn’t know about this? _4

Entanglements of the flesh are unavoidable; he’s giving you time.

So, what are you... feeling lost about?

On the weekend, Nan Wan didn’t get up too early. When she went downstairs, Aunt Zhou had already prepared breakfast.

Barton followed her and pounced on Zhao Ying in the living room, just like last night.

"Ah!"

Zhao Ying screamed instinctively, closing her eyes. Her small face turned pale with fright.

Nan Wan frowned and said two words, not too harshly, "Come back."

Hearing his owner’s voice, Barton unwillingly lowered his raised front paw and walked back to Nan Wan.

Aunt Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest, "Ma’am, you’re pregnant, isn’t it too dangerous to have pets? What if you get accidentally hurt?"

And such a big pet too!

If Madam hadn’t stopped him in time just now, she almost thought Xiao Zhao would have been knocked over directly.

"It’s a new environment, and he’s not used to it yet. Don’t worry, Aunt Zhou, he won’t hurt me," Nan Wan stroked Barton’s head as she walked to the dining room, her voice calm, "Xiao Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Ying hadn’t recovered from the fright, holding her hands in front of her chest with a dazed look, "No... no problem."

Aunt Zhou walked to the dining table, picked up a small bowl, and served porridge for Nan Wan.

Glancing at the golden retriever lying on the floor, she found it surprisingly docile, not at all irritable.

It was puzzling: How come he’s only aggressive with Xiao Zhao?

Nan Wan stirred the porridge in the bowl with the handle of the spoon, tasting it in small bites and finding it quite good before she started eating.

"If he scared you, I apologize on Barton’s behalf."

The gentle voice came from the dining room, pulling Zhao Ying back to reality.

She walked slowly to the door of the dining room, hesitated, and then withdrew her foot upon seeing the golden retriever at Nan Wan’s feet.

"You’re too kind, ma’am. I’m okay."

Nan Wan nodded and continued eating breakfast elegantly without saying more.

Aunt Zhou returned to the kitchen, tidying up the tableware, pondering: I don’t know what’s going on. Animals are intuitive and wouldn’t attack someone for no reason.

Could it be that Xiao Zhao bullied him before?

It can’t be; I asked last night, and it was indeed their first meeting.

Ah, it’s tough being human, even tougher being a servant.

After breakfast, Nan Wan went upstairs for a nap.

In the evening, she went out.

Upon arriving at the agreed place, as expected, Xu Moyi, that troublesome kid, was deliberately picking on Shen Zhimei again.

Seeing Nan Wan, he immediately ran to her side, clinging to her arm like a koala, making a pitiful face, "Sis, Shen Zhimei bullied me when you weren’t here; you have to help me get revenge!"

Nan Wan felt a headache coming on.

Shen Zhimei copied Xu Moyi, hooking Nan Wan’s other arm with the same expression and tone, a complete copy-and-paste, "Wanwan, your sister just scolded me; you have to help me scold her back!"

Nan Wan closed her eyes, feeling her scalp tingling.

"Undersea Restaurant, my treat. Let go of me and we go, or I’ll leave."

As soon as she finished speaking, the grips on her arms disappeared.

Shen Zhimei, who hadn’t been out for a long time, looked at the night scenery on both sides of the street, suddenly feeling a bit estranged.

She strolled leisurely and joked, "Your salary is docked until next June. How are you going to survive after such a major expense?"

The Undersea Restaurant is the most famous and priciest restaurant in Qing City.

Xu Moyi raised his chin, "Does Mr. Mu look like he’s short of money? Even if my sister goes there every day, it’s just for fun, okay?"

Nan Wan looked at Xu Moyi with a faint smile, casually asking, "I recall you didn’t like him much, so when did you start calling him a god?"

Xu Moyi shrugged, speaking as if it couldn’t be helped, "Mr. Mu’s charm has been so overwhelming lately, I’m just a mere mortal, caught off guard and become his fan, what can I say?"

Although she’s a fan of the Nan Lu couple, she can’t resist Mr. Mu’s raw charisma. Besides, since her sister married him, she naturally hopes they get along well.

Her sister has suffered so much over the years; having a mature man by her side is far better than facing everything alone.

Shen Zhimei added, "Most importantly, she gets to see how great our Wanwan is."

Xu Moyi, quite satisfied, snapped his fingers, "Just for that, I’ll spare you tonight."

Shen Zhimei smiled, "Thank you, Moyu baby."

Xu Moyi winked, waving his hand grandly, "No problem."

Nan Wan, on the side, just quietly watched these two clowns. She didn’t want to participate and almost wished she didn’t know them.

The phone rested quietly in her bag, while the emotions that had lingered since yesterday seemed more apparent.

Even she felt somewhat inexplicable.

She waved down a taxi at the curb.

Shen Zhimei and Xu Moyi followed her playfully into the car.

Huo Yihan arrived at the airport at exactly ten in the evening, waiting for about ten minutes.

Upon seeing Huo Yihan, who was waiting outside, Secretary Tang sensibly decided not to proceed, "President Mu, I’ll head home first."

Clicking his tongue, this friendship was truly touching. President Mu had only been gone for two days and was already so eager to pick him up.

Mu Jin Huan’s eyes scanned the person at the foot of the stairs, saying four words in a low voice, "Be careful."

Secretary Tang responded with an okay.

Huo Yihan leaned lazily against the car, extinguishing the cigarette in his hand, his eyes shining with a teasing smile, "President Mu, do you still want your newlywed wife?"

Upon hearing this, the distinctively handsome face of Mu Jin Huan darkened, and his deep voice became even colder, "Didn’t your primary school teacher teach you that conversation should have cause and effect?"

After putting away his suitcase and closing the trunk, Huo Yihan probed further, "It’s Doctor Nan’s birthday today, did you not know?"

Usually obedient Xu Moyi was acting very out of character today, oddly adamant, refusing to budge no matter what.

After much indirect inquiry, he finally found out it was Nan Wan’s birthday, and she was celebrating with Shen Zhimei.

Huo Yihan noticed that after he spoke, the person who was always so aloof and indifferent seemed momentarily stunned.

"You really didn’t know!"

Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes were now turbulent, the wrinkles between his brows appeared and then smoothed out again, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.

Seeing his friend’s expression so subtly tensed, Huo Yihan continued to ramp up the pressure, "Your sister-in-law said they plan to party at a bar until dawn before returning home tonight. Two bottles down already, and that was from a call half an hour ago..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the car keys in his hand were forcefully snatched away.
