The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1290 - 650: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc - What Were You Doing Downstairs with Mo Han Just Now?

However, now Yan’er was not afraid of him at all tonight. She almost sneered, her tone carrying sarcasm as she spoke, "What? Are you going to strangle me or kill me?"

Looking at the thorny demeanor of Ning Wan in front of him, the man’s gaze turned somber, and a cold aura began to emanate from him. His thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line.

If it weren’t for his inability to act, he really wanted to strangle her directly.

Ning Wan fearlessly stared at him, her small face showing a mocking expression as she directly said, "Mr. Xi, if you’re not going to act, then kindly let me go, or just go ahead."

She didn’t want to stay here wasting time with him anymore. She just wanted to go back, take a good shower, and then rest.

She felt exhausted not just physically from shopping for so long, but more so emotionally drained.

Especially now, facing Xi Mohan, she felt as though she couldn’t keep going any longer.

To her, Xi Mohan was like the rib in her heart that she now wanted to brutally extract, enduring the unbearable pain that would come with it.

Xi Mohan’s thin lips lightly pressed, but he did not release her. Instead, he stared at her and almost gritted his teeth as he asked, "What did you just call me?"

Ning Wan’s expression remained unchanged, "Mr. Xi, otherwise what? You want me to call you Mo Han brother?"

The man instantly furrowed his brows, looking at her with displeasure in his eyes.

Ning Wan laughed again and spoke self-deprecatingly, "You see, if I call you Mo Han brother, you don’t even bother to hide your disgust. Calling you Mr. Xi is just right. I’m not a pushover anymore, willingly inviting abuse."

Upon hearing this, the man’s gaze showed a small crack, hesitantly looking at the girl before him but unsure how best to respond.

Ning Wan didn’t plan to waste more time here with him, raising her unrestrained hand that wasn’t held, placing it on the man’s hand gripping her arm, and one finger at a time, she pried herself free, finally saving her almost dislocated arm from his grasp.

Xi Mohan did not continue to hold her but stood still.

Ning Wan didn’t pay attention to him, bending down to pick up the items she had dropped from the night market. One bag was no longer intact, and the cup inside was likely broken, causing Ning Wan some heartache.

Although not expensive, they still cost money.

After picking them up, she didn’t look at the man before her, and prepared to walk towards the villa.

After just two steps, she heard the man’s deep and raspy voice behind her, "Ning Wan, keep your distance from Lin Musen, you two aren’t suitable."

Ning Wan’s steps halted instantly. Her relationship with Lin Musen was quite pure; there was almost nothing between them. She had clarified at the night market with Lin Musen that she couldn’t be with him romantically, but they could be good friends, to which Lin Musen naturally agreed.

Now upon hearing Xi Mohan’s words, she didn’t know why, but a rebellious feeling surged inside her, making her want to sneer coldly. Without looking back, she said, "What makes you think you have the right to make me listen to you? Xi Mohan, you don’t get to decide whether we’re a match or not. And who I get close to isn’t your decision. Lin Musen is a nice person, why should I keep my distance from him?"

The man’s hand at his side involuntarily clenched into a fist, his gaze darkened as he looked at her back.

Ning Wan wasn’t finished, pausing briefly before continuing, "Xi Mohan, the one I need to keep away from isn’t Lin Musen, it’s you."

After speaking, she revealed a bitter smile and then stepped into the villa.

The girl’s words clearly echoed directly into his ears, especially the final sentence: [I need to keep away from isn’t Lin Musen, it’s you...]

They kept echoing in his mind, worsening his complexion and immediately kindling a desire to strangle her, but Ning Wan had already stepped into the villa.

Away from him?

Ha!

...

Inside the villa, everyone was already asleep. The Ning Family rested early, and the servants had also gone to rest. Unless there was a business need for socializing, Ning Wan’s parents or Ning Yan’er’s parents would occasionally return very late.

Usually, Ning Wan was used to going to bed early, by ten she’d be asleep, but accompanying Lin Mugu tonight had caused her to return so late.

Returning to the second floor, she prepared to open the door to her room when the door of Ning Yan’er’s room opened. Ning Yan’er stood at the door in her nightgown, entirely makeup-free, calling her directly, "Ning Wan."

Ning Wan stopped and turned to face Ning Yan’er standing there, her tone indifferent, "Speak quickly if you have something to say."

Ning Yan’er, seeing Ning Wan’s attitude, instantly became displeased, almost speaking with anger, "Ning Wan, is this your attitude?"

Ning Wan chuckled, looking at her sarcastically, "What? You want me to show a smile and speak respectfully to you? Ning Yan’er, it’s not daytime now, it’s not time for daydreaming."

First Xi Mohan, now Ning Yan’er; the two people she least wanted to see today appeared before her, almost driving her to the point of cursing.

Ning Yan’er was so furious she almost wanted to gnash her silver teeth. She chose not to speak further but directly asked, "Ning Wan, what were you doing downstairs with Mo Han? You wouldn’t shamelessly approach Mo Han again, would you? Ning Wan, I’m telling you, Mo Han isn’t someone you can match with. He’s destined to be mine."

Her room’s balcony directly faced the villa’s entrance. Earlier, when she closed the balcony doors, she saw Xi Mohan and Ning Wan standing together below. Each time she saw them together, her fury almost drove her to go downstairs and separate them. Thinking seriously, Ning Yan’er felt it must have been Ning Wan shamelessly approaching him again.

Looking at Ning Wan’s face, she felt increasingly displeased, almost wishing to find a small blade to carve across her face and ruin it.

Having grown up with Ning Wan, Ning Yan’er naturally saw through her youthful face to reveal the beauty behind it.
