Chapter 1278 - 643: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc - Ning Wan and Lin Musen’s Childhood Engagement (2)
When he snapped back to reality, he stared blankly at Xi Mohan, swallowed hard, and finally spoke, "Mo Han, I have something I want to explain to you."
"What is it?" Xi Mohan didn’t raise his head, continuing to look at the file in front of him.
"Um, my dad told me something before. He said that my mother and Mrs. Ning had arranged a childhood betrothal for me..." At this point, he was a bit embarrassed and scratched his head.
Upon hearing this, Xi Mohan furrowed his brows. He abruptly lifted his head to look at Lin Musen. Just as he was about to sign the document, he paused abruptly, and his fountain pen instantly drew a line across the file.
"So, is the person Ning Wan or Ning Yan’er?" After a long while, the man spoke lightly, glancing at the ruined document. He always pursued perfection, and although the document only had a line drawn on it, for him, it was destroyed. Instantly feeling uncomfortable, he tossed the file aside, planning to instruct the assistant to print another copy later.
Lin Musen hesitated for a moment, deciding that honesty was best, and said truthfully, "Of course it’s the Ning Family’s second daughter, Ning Wan. Otherwise, if it were Ning Yan’er, upon knowing Ning Yan’er’s identity, I wouldn’t be so... surprised. Honestly, it’s the first time I’ve seen Ning Wan. My dad told me about this a while ago. Just now, when I thought Ning Yan’er and Ning Wan looked a bit alike, I remembered this matter."
At this point, he paused, his gaze falling on Xi Mohan, and said, "Although Ning Wan likes you, Mo Han, I can see that you really dislike Ning Wan. You now know the relationship between Ning Wan and me, and my dad is serious about it. I guess when the time comes, he will want me to get engaged to Ning Wan, so my relationship with Ning Wan will become closer. It’s just as well that you don’t like her, so you can leave Ning Wan to me..."
Saying this, he flashed a roguish smile and even patted his chest.
He actually quite liked Ning Wan. As the Ning Family’s second daughter, not only was she good at cooking, but she also had a nice personality, and she was quite beautiful.
So Lin Musen wouldn’t develop any dislike for Ning Wan.
In fact, when he first heard his dad say he had a childhood betrothal arrangement with the Ning Family’s second daughter, he was very averse to this person he hadn’t yet met. But now, having met Ning Wan and chatted with her, he found Ning Wan pleasant.
Even though Ning Wan liked his good buddy, since Xi Mohan didn’t like her, he had more reason to rescue Ning Wan from the icy Mo Han.
Xi Mohan didn’t know what Lin Musen was thinking, but upon hearing Lin Musen’s words, his body stiffened for a moment, and then he felt even more annoyance. He couldn’t help but grip the fountain pen tighter.
...
After Ning Wan returned to the Ning Family, she went straight to her room, lay down on the bed, and took a nap, not even having lunch. Later, she woke up feeling hungry.
She sat up in bed, glanced at the small alarm clock on the bedside table, and saw that it was already after three o’clock. No wonder she woke up hungry; she always ate three meals a day very punctually, and now she had skipped lunch and slept for more than three hours. In another three hours, it would be dinner time.
Her gaze fell on the calendar beside her. After looking at the date on it, she pressed her lips together without saying anything. After staying in bed for a few minutes, she jumped out of bed, put on slippers, and headed for the door, planning to go downstairs to find something to eat.
When she opened the door, her gaze fell momentarily on Ning Yan’er’s room opposite. She stopped in her tracks and suddenly noticed Ning Yan’er seriously choosing clothes in her room.
It’s no wonder Ning Wan stopped in her tracks, because Ning Yan’er usually kept her door closed. No, more precisely, neither of them would leave their doors open like this. So all this time, Ning Wan had never seen the arrangement of Ning Yan’er’s room. Now, seeing it for the first time, she was somewhat amazed.
But once she came to her senses, she returned to a state of calm, directly closing her own door intending to head to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Ning Yan’er noticed Ning Wan’s presence, and holding a white dress in her hand, she ran out from her room and called out to Ning Wan, "Ning Wan."
