The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1288 - 648: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – I Don’t Want to Keep Loving You Anymore

Xi Mohan walked straight up to Ning Wan and stopped, only two steps away from each other. Xi Mohan himself was very tall, while Ning Wan was just about 1.6 meters tall. Now standing in front of Ning Wan, she suddenly felt as if a giant was blocking her, even the light refracting in from the window was obstructed.

The air pressure suddenly dropped, and for a moment she felt it was difficult to breathe, forcing her to take a small step back to try to increase the distance between them.

Noticing her movement, Xi Mohan’s face immediately darkened. Previously, Ning Wan would always unconsciously move closer to him, the closer the better, but now this little girl was actually retreating.

Thinking about this, the feeling of irritation in his heart grew stronger. She retreated, and he took a step forward.

Ning Wan was completely unprepared for Xi Mohan’s approach. Not only did he not stop, he actually came closer. It might have been because she didn’t want to see the look of disgust on his face. Since Xi Mohan had walked up to her, she kept her head lowered, avoiding his gaze. She only saw his leather-shod feet appear in her sight and she backed away.

However, because they were in a corridor, the space for retreat was not very large, and soon she was directly backed against the wall, with no room left to retreat.

Ning Wan’s body collided with the wall. Fortunately, she hadn’t used much force, but her head gently bumped, causing a slight pain that made her frown slightly.

Xi Mohan had actually noticed, but initially wanted to remind her. Yet, when he thought of her speaking to Lin Musen with a gentle tone, even sharing laughs in the past few minutes, he instantly swallowed the reminder that was about to come out of his mouth and watched with open eyes as Ning Wan foolishly bumped her head against the wall.

However, when he saw Ning Wan frown and grimace in pain, a trace of regret flashed across his eyes, albeit fleetingly, returning to his usual cold demeanor as he looked at her.

"Ning Wan, I seem to have told you to stay away from Lin Musen, not to provoke him. Did you take my words as an idle breeze?" The man stood upright, looking down at her.

When he spoke, his voice was completely cold, without the slightest fluctuation of emotion.

Hearing Xi Mohan’s words, Ning Wan’s body stiffened, and it took a moment for her to react. She closed her eyes briefly and this time dared to lift her head to look at Xi Mohan, but her face was marked by a desolate smile, "Xi Mohan, sometimes I begin to question, what exactly do I like about you? Are you worth liking? Is everything I’ve done worth it?"

These words, she actually wanted to say for a long time, but had never voiced. Instead, she kept them in her heart, repeatedly asking herself. Yet, each time a moment of confusion followed, like an indomitable cockroach, she continued to like this man, constantly appearing before him to assert her presence.

Despite his constant disdain, despite his implicit hurt, she remained seemingly indestructible.

Indestructible??

How is that possible?

Everyone, including herself, is not indestructible. She merely shows her strong side...

Xi Mohan was instantly stunned by Ning Wan’s words, his formerly cold eyes began to crack.

However, this time Ning Wan straightened up, her gaze fixed on him, directly speaking, "So Xi Mohan, I don’t want to continue liking you anymore... because it is truly exhausting."

She was truly tired. The two years had drained her energy. She didn’t know how to continue to hold on, and suddenly didn’t want to continue holding on.

Xi Mohan’s face was so dark he could almost drip water, his lips tightly pursed, his jaw clenched. His eyes seemed to harbor a storm, his gaze fixed on Ning Wan, his eyes full of tempest, as if ready to strangle her at any moment.

Ning Wan was startled by his gaze, fear began to appear in her eyes, her calm demeanor shattered.

...

The first to leave was Xi Mohan. When the corridor was left with only herself, Ning Wan felt as if all the strength within her body had drained, only by effort did she prevent herself from dropping onto the floor.

When she returned to her seat, the food they ordered had already been served, and Xi Mohan and Ning Yan’er had left.

As she passed Xi Mohan and Ning Yan’er’s seats, she paused slightly, but quickly returned to normal, sitting directly opposite Lin Musen.

Seeing Ning Wan return, Lin Musen tugged at his lips, revealing a gentle smile, jokingly said, "Seeing you took so long to return, I thought you suddenly regretted having dinner with me and left."

Ning Wan hesitated, looking at Lin Musen’s smiling face, pursed her lips before speaking, "I promised you so naturally I have to do it, besides, having come all the way out to dine with you, I too have to get my worth."

After the conversation with Xi Mohan, Ning Wan felt a slight pain in her heart at first, but mostly felt as though a heavy stone had been lifted from her shoulders.

But following quickly, there was an emptiness inside.

Speaking, she directly picked up the knife and fork in front of her, looked at the food placed before her, glanced at this and then that, not knowing which to eat first.

Everything looked so delicious...

"Why don’t you start eating? Not hungry anymore?" Lin Musen elegantly cut his steak, looked up and saw Ning Wan dazed, said, "Are you still thinking about Mo Han, that guy?"

Ning Wan looked up at Lin Musen, pursed her lips but immediately rolled her eyes at him, said nothing, and began to eat the lobster first.

Lin Musen saw her rolling her eyes, found her very cute. Ning Wan’s face still carried a bit of youth and immaturity, her cheeks slightly chubby, particularly her long eyelashes, even rolling her eyes was so attractive.

He directly handed his cut steak, along with the plate, to her, said, "This one’s cut, take it, give me the uncut one."

Ning Wan looked at the steak handed before her, slightly stunned. The steak was cut very neatly, almost the same size each piece. She looked up at Lin Musen but spoke, "Lin Musen, why are you so nice to me?"
