Chapter 1268 - 638: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – Xi Mohan Feels Annoyed
At this moment, inside the CEO office of Xi Group, Xi Mohan was sitting in his chair. In front of him were piles of documents, looking like there were at least hundreds, all needing his review and signature.
Normally, he would quickly get into work mode, but today, since coming back from outside, he’d been at his desk for several minutes without reading any files, or more precisely, without any desire to read them at all.
Thinking about Ning Wan and Lin Musen together outside, and not knowing what they were up to, his mind was a mess.
His feelings of disgust and dislike for Ning Wan were very strong, but seeing her with other men made him even less willing to take another glance, finding her interaction with other men even more displeasing.
Alright, he credited these feelings to not wanting his good buddy to be harmed by Ning Wan.
Considering this, he couldn’t sit in the office anymore, having found a reason that satisfied him greatly, and he immediately walked toward the door.
However, when he reached the door, he noticed that Ning Wan and Lin Musen were no longer at their previous spot, and all he could hear was the chatter of secretaries from the nearby secretary’s room.
Standing at the doorway, looking at where they were previously standing, his brows furrowed slightly in apparent displeasure.
"CEO..." The assistant, coming out of the office intending to deliver documents to Xi Mohan, was startled upon unexpectedly seeing Xi Mohan standing there. Quickly recovering, he walked over hurriedly, "CEO, is there anything you need?"
Xi Mohan’s gaze fell on the assistant, his brows twitching slightly. Just as he was about to say it was nothing, he opened his mouth next, "Go check where Lin Shao and Ning Wan went, investigate the surveillance directly."
The assistant was taken aback, looking at Xi Mohan in some surprise, momentarily unable to react.
The CEO wants to know the whereabouts of Second Lady Ning?
Doesn’t the CEO despise Second Lady Ning? Every day, Ning Wan brings lunch, and the CEO doesn’t come out to see her, nor does he allow her into the office. Although the assistant takes the lunch from Ning Wan to the CEO, reportedly, the CEO never eats it, instead calling for takeaway from elsewhere.
"What? Is there a problem?" Preparing to step back into the office but noticing the assistant still standing there, the man’s brows knitted together sharply, his voice lowered a bit.
The assistant immediately shook his head, "No problem, CEO, I’ll go check the surveillance right away."
Xi Mohan responded with a faint "um," feeling good, as he took the documents from the assistant and returned to the office.
...
Ning Wan followed Lin Musen to the rooftop, which unlike other rooftops where there’s nothing, this one looked like heaven.
The rooftop was adorned with lots of flowers and plants, tables, and a swing chair, seeming less like a rooftop and more like a garden.
Surprised, Ning Wan looked around, noticing many flowers she liked, suddenly wanting to claim this place as her own.
Lin Musen followed closely behind Ning Wan, seeing her curious and delighted expression, his own smile growing unknowingly, speaking warmly, "Mohan specifically had this created, company employees generally can’t come up here."
Ning Wan’s eyes lit up upon spotting a pot of her favorite tulips, and she swiftly moved towards it.
It was a pot of purple tulips, surrounded by yellow and other colors. Although there were multiple pots of other colors, there was only one pot of purple tulips.
Ning Wan’s favorite flower was tulips, especially purple tulips, as they symbolize ’eternal love’.
Long ago, she dreamed of having her own garden filled with tulips, particularly purple ones, wanting to plant many of them.
But this dream hadn’t been realized yet.
Looking up at Lin Musen behind her, she flashed a brilliant smile and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lin Musen."
Lin Musen shrugged and pointed at the thermal box and bottle she was holding in her hands, "If you want to thank me, you could let me eat the lunch you made. I’m really hungry and can’t walk, I might need you to carry me out if I don’t eat soon."
Glancing down at the thermal box and bottle in her hands, Ning Wan didn’t hesitate, standing up to hand them to him, "Here, eat up. I haven’t been cooking long, so it might not be as good as restaurant dishes. I tried it at home and it tasted pretty good."
Lin Musen accepted it readily, "It’s alright, I’m not picky. Having food to eat is good enough."
Saying that, he carried the thermal box and bottle to a table, uncovered them, and the aroma of food filled the air.
Layer by layer, Lin Musen took things out, arranging them neatly, as he grabbed some with chopsticks to taste, quickly showing some surprise on his face, and looking at Ning Wan, he spoke, "You made all this?"
Ning Wan nodded, "Yes."
Lin Musen immediately raised his thumb, complimenting Ning Wan, "The taste is really good, just as good as any professional chef. Even my house chef doesn’t cook as well as you."
He hadn’t expected that Ning Wan, though young, had such culinary skills. From her appearance, she looked fifteen or sixteen, with youthful and innocent traces still present.
...
Back in the office, Xi Mohan’s gaze fell on the surveillance video, watching the two laughing and chatting, his expression darkening.
He underestimated Ning Wan, seeing how quickly she bonded with his good buddy, laughing and joking.
Gripping the pen tightly, he couldn’t tamp down his anger, wanting to go to the rooftop and separate them immediately, yet realizing he had no reasonable cause to do so, fueling his frustration.
