Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love
Chapter 86 - 086. Mu Jin Huan, you are really so annoying!

Chapter 86: 086. Mu Jin Huan, you are really so annoying!

It’s Mu Jin Huan.

Nan Wan stayed composed on the surface, but inside she couldn’t help but sneer coldly.

So, this man put in so much effort to get close to her just for this villa.

"Grandma, the previous owner of this place, do you know them?"

"This house, ah, was built by that ungrateful son’s friend. What’s their surname again, let me think..."

Xu Shuyu dug through her memories, trying to recall for a long time before she remembered, "I got it! It seems... it seems the surname was Yu, then they moved with the whole family to An City."

Nan Wan lowered her gaze, her fingers lightly holding the spoon’s handle, stirring the soup in the bowl absentmindedly, her tone as usual, "Before the Yu family moved, did they have any business dealings with the Mu Family?

I thought it was some invaluable treasure, but it turns out it’s just for an old house, and he’s willing to go to such lengths...

Xu Shuyu spent her days in prayer and remained out of worldly affairs, so she naturally wasn’t privy to the inside story and spoke frankly, "I’m not really sure about that, just heard when I was a bit younger that the older generation of both families were close friends and maintained good relations."

The soup in the bowl had gone a bit cold, yet Nan Wan still found it delicious, a sweet smile brimming on her cheeks, she switched topics, "Grandma, after not seeing you for a few days, your cooking skills have improved again. The amount I ate at this meal tonight, I could normally eat in a day."

Since Xu Shuyu first saw her granddaughter, she noticed she’d lost quite a bit of weight compared to the last encounter, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache, "Well, come over to grandma’s more often when work isn’t busy to get nourished again. Look at how skinny you’ve become."

"Alright, next time I’ll bring Shen Zhimei along. She’s even thinner than me and needs the nourishment even more."

Xu Shuyu frowned, pretended to be angry, and knocked lightly on Nan Wan’s forehead, "Didn’t I tell you to call her sister-in-law!"

Nan Wan had called her by that name for over a decade, it had become second nature, and finding it hard to change suddenly, she gave a rather aggrieved look at the serious elderly woman, "Got it."

Xu Shuyu found it both exasperating and amusing, her deliberately stern face softened into a smile, the previously melancholic atmosphere gradually fading, replaced by a warmth and gentle sunshine rarely felt for a long time.

...

Aunt Jing began tidying up the dining room after the meal, while Nan Wan helped Xu Shuyu upstairs, chatting about daily life.

The bedroom, warmed by the fireplace, was very cozy. After Xu Shuyu fell asleep, Nan Wan left.

As she stepped out the door, the chilly air rushed into her collar, causing Nan Wan to involuntarily hug her arms tighter.

All around was silent, only the sound of the cold wind ’whistling’ past could be heard.

The old lady’s earnest words before she fell asleep echoed in her ears, "Nannan, you must find the one who can bring peace to your heart, no longer tense nor alone and wandering, sharing mountains and rivers, lifetimes upon lifetimes together."

"The world is vast, meeting the right person is the rarest of the rare, so even if it’s storms of wind and thunder, sand whirling, or the world collapsing, you must, at all costs, hold onto him."

Nan Wan knew that more than anyone, the old lady wished she could find a good place to belong, and a home.

But grandma, where can a child like her, unloved by her own parents from birth, find the right person?

All those men who spout words of love, in truth, just want to sleep with her; ’love’ from their mouths was cheap and nauseating.

And the only one who didn’t want to bed her also approached her with a motive, and this motive was simply laughable as well.

Even if she politely greeted his ancestors up to eighteen generations, she’d feel it a waste of her time.

The streetlight was not very bright, and Nan Wan didn’t watch her step, placing her foot in a hole, her body losing balance, stumbling a few steps before steadying herself.

Her delicate eyebrows furrowed, irritably she raised a hand to push back her disheveled hair, closing her eyes briefly.

Mu Jin Huan, you are absolutely annoying!

————

In the hospital corridor, Nan Wan walked slightly bowed, listening to Qin Zhenzhen report the morning rounds situation.

Just a few steps ahead, a magical group often gathered in the hospital, discussing loudly or quietly, and anyone with an IQ above 80 could catch the sarcasm in their words.

Gao Hui’s face showed a mocking smile, deliberately raising her voice, "Look at Doctor Nan, scandals flying all over, yet she acts as if nothing’s happening, truly extraordinary."

Another member of the big wife club chimed in with dry sarcasm, "Never would have thought, our hospital frequently trending on social media, all because certain people’s chaotic private lives, it’s simply disgraceful in the eyes of peers."

Another quickly joined in, "Indeed, my dad’s been urging me to change jobs to a different hospital, if it wasn’t for you, Xiao Hui, I’d have listened to him long ago."

Nan Wan acted as if she heard nothing, her expression usual, without a slight pause in her steps.

Qin Zhenzhen didn’t have such tolerance but knew her position, an intern, not a place for her antics here.

After glaring fiercely at them, she covered her ears with her hands, and closed her eyes, opting to see no evil, hear no evil for peace.

Yet in the next second, a mix of idle chatter and a low groan entered her ears.

Could it be... Doctor Nan?

Quickly opening her eyes, the scene in front of her nearly drove her to rush in fury at those women who only knew to gossip.

Gao Hui’s foot, causing the trouble, hadn’t been retracted, the people next to her displayed uniform expressions, eager for the spectacle.

While Doctor Nan lay on the ground, the stethoscope she originally wore around her neck was lying across the corridor, documents scattered everywhere.

Somewhat... disheveled.

Qin Zhenzhen couldn’t care about anything else, hurried to help, worry evident in her ask, "Doctor Nan, are you okay?"

Nan Wan pushed away Qin Zhenzhen’s offered hand, palms against the ground, she got up.

The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, her eyes swept over the group gloating at her misfortune, she elegantly tucked her long hair over one shoulder.

With not a hint of embarrassment from being publicly humiliated, she remained calm and collected as always.

She spoke with her usual grace, not hurried, not slow, "With time spent here discussing how extraordinary I am, you’d be better off going home to read more books, at the very least learn how to speak more beautifully and be more infuriating."

She then walked towards Gao Hui slowly, each move carring an innate nobility, corners of her lips slightly upturned, her voice gently light, "It’s not your fault you’re naturally lacking and grew up to look like a misshapen fruit, but at least you should lose some of that excess weight. If you scare patients coming to the hospital, it would show a lack of civic spirit."

Upon hearing this, Gao Hui couldn’t hold it back, "Have the guts to say that again! Nan Wan, don’t you even see what you yourself are, yet you dare to match with the Mu Family’s president?"
