Chapter 78: 078. Once dry wood catches fire, it’s not so easy to extinguish.

In the end, she still put the tea leaves in, added boiling water, and placed it on the coffee table in front of the man, "Occupational habit, don’t take it seriously."

Then, without waiting for his response, she went straight into the kitchen.

However, her steps were somewhat chaotic, as if she were avoiding something.

————

After Nan Wan entered the kitchen, the smile hidden in Mu Jin Huan’s dark eyes lasted for a long, long time, perhaps even he did not notice.

The TV was playing financial news, and he only glanced at it with little interest.

Before long, the screen of the phone on the table lit up; it was Nan Wan’s.

It was on silent, without vibration or ringtone, and by the time Mu Jin Huan noticed, the person had called for the second time.

He leveled his crossed long legs, reached out with his arm, saw the name on the screen, glanced in the direction of the kitchen with his dark eyes, swiped with his fingertip, and answered.

Sheng Jingzhen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, gazing at the myriad lights of the bustling city outside. His facial lines were gentle, as was his tone, "Wanwan, are you busy?"

Wanwan...

A dark shade slowly seeped through the eyes of Mu Jin Huan, slender fingers gently tapping on his knee, his thin lips lightly parted, "She’s cooking in the kitchen, she may not be able to free her hands for a bit."

Hearing the deep male voice on the other end of the phone, Sheng Jingzhen’s face instantly turned cold, and the softness in his eyes disappeared at this moment.

His voice carried a few more degrees of aloofness, "I didn’t expect President Mu to be so busy lately, yet still have time for these tricks."

The two-minute video quickly climbed to the top of Weibo’s trending list in a short time. It was probably taken secretly, so the faces of the two main characters were quite blurry.

But the poster considerately tagged the identities of the male and female leads, with an extremely eye-catching title: [The Unspeakable Relationship Between the Third Miss of the Nan Family and the President of the Mu Family].

How could the Mu Family’s PR team allow such a video to appear in public view?

There’s only one possibility: Mu Jin Huan deliberately ignored it.

More bluntly put: it was tacitly approved by Mu Jin Huan.

Mu Jin Huan lazily leaned back on one end of the sofa, half of his face bathed in the warm orange light, while the other half was shrouded in shadow. His dark eyes were as deep as a dark pool, making him appear inscrutable.

Calmly, he said, "President Sheng would do well to focus on his own backyard, once a dry twig catches fire, it’s not that easy to extinguish."

"Playing these games between adults is quite meaningless," Sheng Jingzhen closed his eyes slightly, his low voice carrying the chill of winter, "Nan Wan wants a simple life. If your presence brings nothing but rumors to her, then stay away from her."

When he finished saying this, his peripheral vision swept over a photo on the desk.

In the photo, the woman was holding the man’s arm, her pregnant belly hidden under a fluffy wedding dress, still tilting her head playfully like a young girl. Although she was smiling at the camera, looking at it felt as if she was smiling at him.

Reason suppressed the anger in his eyes, and the bulging veins on his temple gradually subsided.

Mu Jin Huan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, the dark shade hidden in the depths of the pool did not diminish in the slightest.

He picked up the teacup with his left hand, the water temperature just right, his voice low and deep, as if soaked in icy lake water, "I’ll let Doctor Nan know that President Sheng called."

With that, he cleanly and effortlessly hung up the phone.
