The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1267 - 637: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc - The Fortune Teller Said He Lacks Wood in His Five Elements

Fifteen-year-old Ning Wan already has a very exquisite face, and her features have begun to take shape. If you look closely, you’ll find Ning Wan is even a bit prettier than Ning Yan’er.

Ning Wan’s mother was also a well-known beauty in An City back in the day. A famous director once took a liking to her and wanted her to become an actress. However, Ning Wan’s mother was in a relationship with Ning’s father at the time and was already discussing marriage. The Ning Family didn’t want the profession of an actress in the family, so Ning Wan’s mother declined.

Ning Wan inherited her mother’s beauty, and it can even be said that Ning Wan now looks even better than Ning Wan’s mother did back then.

But she’s still young, and her features haven’t completely matured. Even when they do, her youthful and inexperienced aura may discount her beauty slightly. When Ning Wan grows up and reaches her twenties, she might truly be a big beauty.

Xi Mohan listened to Lin Musen’s words with an expressionless face, and he turned to glance at Lin Musen, his thin lips parting lightly as he said, "Do whatever you want, there’s no need to ask me."

Saying this, his eyes lightly swept over Ning Wan, who stood there with a slightly aggrieved expression, and he spoke again, "If possible, I truly hope you keep her from coming to the company starting today." With that, he turned and walked towards his office.

Lin Musen looked at Xi Mohan, then at Ning Wan. Hesitating between his brother and the beauty, he finally spoke to Xi Mohan’s retreating figure, "Mohan, wait for me in the office for a bit, I’ll be right in."

Xi Mohan’s footsteps paused slightly but soon returned to normal, as he directly walked into the office, closing the door behind him.

Ning Wan watched Xi Mohan walk into the office and was about to follow him when Lin Musen stopped her.

Raising her eyes to look at Lin Musen in front of her, Ning Wan frowned slightly, her tone laced with displeasure, "What exactly do you want?"

Seeing the displeasure in Ning Wan’s eyes, Lin Musen was indifferent. He directly spoke, "Little beauty, don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person. I’m Mo Han’s good brother. Do you like Mo Han?"

Ning Wan looked at Lin Musen in front of her and instinctively nodded, directly admitting it.

Lin Musen showed a brilliant smile. With glasses, he looked very refined, like a gentleman of noble character. His voice held a magnetic warmth as he spoke again, "Do you want to become Mo Han’s woman?"

This time, Ning Wan didn’t nod immediately but looked steadily at Lin Musen, unsure of his intent or whether he was friend or foe, opting for silence. She felt they were standing a bit too close and instinctively widened the distance between them.

Lin Musen hadn’t expected the young girl in front of him to be this wary, leaving him slightly hurt, right?

Awkwardly coughing, Lin Musen remained silent for over ten seconds before continuing, "How about this, let’s first get to know each other. If you truly want to be by Mo Han’s side, it’s not impossible. I can help you since I’ve known Mo Han for over ten years. You’d better believe me, every word I say is true."

This time Ning Wan believed him, because she had already noticed that the man in front of her seemed to have a good relationship with Xi Mohan. Meanwhile, the reason she kept her distance from Lin Musen was not because of disbelief in his words, nor fear that he was a bad person.

Rather, she is always very dedicated to her feelings. If she likes a man, she will unconsciously distance herself from other men and won’t get too close.

So she unconsciously distanced herself from Lin Musen.

With a faint oh, Ning Wan now held the thermal box and thermos bottle in one hand, while extending her free hand towards Lin Musen and said, "Hello, I’m Ning Wan."

Lin Musen looked at the little hand stretched out before him, his face finally showing a smile, extending his hand to shake Ning Wan’s warmly and introducing himself, "Hello, I’m Lin Musen, Lin as in double trees, Mu as in wood, Sen as in forest."

Hearing his introduction, Ning Wan was momentarily shocked by his name and instinctively said, "With so many ’Mu’ in your name, did the person naming you think you were missing wood in your five elements?"

Lin Musen was dumbfounded by Ning Wan’s words, then laughed openly without hiding, praising, "You’re indeed not ordinary. The name was given by my family. My family went to a fortune teller who said I was missing wood in my five elements, so my parents added more ’Mu’ to my name. Coincidentally, our family name is Mu, so I ended up being named Lin Musen."

Talking about the origin of his name, Lin Musen himself feels a bit embarrassed.

His name has been the source of many jokes.

Ning Wan didn’t mind, suddenly feeling the man in front of her didn’t seem like a bad person and was actually quite easy to get along with. She smiled and said, "Your name sounds lovely."

After letting go, Lin Musen glanced at the thermal box and thermos bottle in Ning Wan’s other hand and gestured towards them, asking, "Did you bring these for Mo Han?"

Ning Wan looked down at them, recalling how Xi Mohan had no intention of eating the lunch she made, and feeling a bit hurt. Nonetheless, she simply nodded, showing a faint, somewhat forced smile, "But he doesn’t want to eat."

Only I understand how much thought went into the meals that took over two hours to prepare.

Actually, it’s the same every day, though previously I handed them over to Xi Mohan’s assistant or secretary, so I never knew whether Xi Mohan ate them. Today’s encounter was the first, and although I expected his opinion of me hadn’t changed, it hit harder than expected to face it directly.

Since Xi Mohan didn’t eat, I can’t bear to waste the food...

Seeing the forced smile on Ning Wan’s face, Lin Musen felt a pang of empathy and, after pondering, asked Ning Wan, "I just returned from the United States after a twelve-plus-hour flight where I didn’t eat anything. Could you... hmm, could I have your lunch? Since Mo Han won’t eat it, it would be a shame to waste it."

Pausing, he awkwardly scratched his head and said, "I am really hungry now, having not eaten anything."

Ning Wan blinked, initially wanting to refuse, since she made the meal specifically for Mo Han. But eventually, she nodded, "Alright."

She handed the thermal box and thermos bottle to Lin Musen.

However, Lin Musen didn’t immediately take them, instead approaching Ning Wan and saying, "You seemed to have visited the Xi Group quite a bit. Have you been to the top floor?"

Ning Wan bit her lip.

Seeing her response, Lin Musen wore a "I knew it" expression and said to Ning Wan, "Come on, I’ll show you around the top floor. It’s specially designed by Mo Han."

"But if I go up there, won’t Mo Han be upset?"

"Hmm, that I don’t know, but if you follow me, even if he’s upset, he won’t do anything to you. Don’t you want to see what the place Mo Han likes to hang out in looks like?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Wan was instantly tempted. Naturally, she wanted to know what the favorite spot of the man she adored looked like, and she nodded without hesitation.

——I just realized that yesterday’s Chapter was mistakenly merged with content from the previous one when copied out from the drafts, totaling over four hundred extra words. I’ll write an extra five hundred words in this Chapter to make up for it.
