Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 136 - 121. I can’t comprehend such great love.

Mu Libei heard the clear and soft voice, stood up from the bench, and looked at Nan Wan with gentle eyes, "Girl, do you have time to have a cup of tea with me?"

Nan Wan wasn’t naive enough to think he came just to have tea with her, her heart felt a little tight.

She nodded gracefully, her demeanor natural, "There’s a tea house nearby. Although it’s a bit small, it’s quite elegant and unique."

Mu Libei patted Nan Wan’s arm, a loving smile on his face, "I’m not familiar with this area, you lead the way."

...

Inside the quaint little room.

Red wooden windows, bamboo blinds half-opened, incense burner lit.

Mu Libei watched as Nan Wan warmed the cup, steeped the tea, and rinsed the tea for the first brew...

The movements were slow, an up and down rhythm.

She was still wearing a white coat, so there was a faint scent of disinfectant in the air, mixed with the aroma of tea, which didn’t seem out of place.

He took the teacup she handed over with both hands, smelled it, and then took a sip.

There was appreciation in his eyes, "Young people nowadays are used to drinking foreign coffee; very few understand tea."

Her movements were skilled, her demeanor graceful, without heavy makeup, having a simple and plain appearance, which added a touch of gentle elegance.

He seemed to have developed a different opinion of this child with a not-so-good reputation.

Nan Wan didn’t hunch her back, nor did she slouch, she sat very upright, speaking politely and respectfully, "Grandma likes it, so I learned a bit, just showing off in front of Uncle."

Mu Libei sipped his tea slowly as he said, "Mu Huan has already told me about you getting the marriage certificate."

Hearing this, Nan Wan’s hands froze, the teacup still at her lips.

"Don’t be nervous, I’m not here to call you to account," seeing this, Mu Libei smiled, his voice mellow, "Although it’s unfamiliar, it’s time to start calling me something different."

Nan Wan’s hand holding the teacup stiffened, she mechanically put it on the table, her gaze falling on the incense burner with white smoke, her lips moved a few times before she managed to utter the syllable, "...Dad."

Mu Libei smiled and patted the back of her hand, as if reassuring, also comforted.

His not-so-young face bore the marks of years, "Although Mu Huan hasn’t been back with the Mu family for long, I know he hasn’t been happy for a single day."

This was only the beginning, so Nan Wan didn’t respond.

"When Mu Huan was about ten years old, a fortune teller, a blind man, came to the house, said to be from some temple, quite skilled in fortune-telling and face-reading."

"Shi Rong, though a strong woman, shouldn’t believe in such things by common sense, but she believed in fate."

"The fortune teller said that Mu Huan had a hard fate, and if he stayed with the Mu family, the company would gradually decline, and the family would start to fall."

Nan Wan looked up in surprise, finding it hard to comprehend for a moment.

Mu Libei sighed helplessly, "That was mild, the more severe was that he would bring ruin to his father and brothers..."

"At first, Shi Rong didn’t believe it either, but not long after the fortune teller left, a major project of the company went wrong, losing two hundred million, and two hundred million twenty years ago was not a small amount."

"Not long after, Jin Qian was kidnapped by thugs, nearly losing his life..."

In this warm compartment, just listening, Nan Wan felt her hands and feet start to chill, "So, Aunt believed the words of that fortune teller."

It was a statement, not a question.

She called her ’Aunt,’ and Mu Libei understood why.

He naturally understood the reason.

"The chairman of An City’s Ji Family was an old battle comrade of Shi Rong’s father, friends for decades, and just then, Mr. Ji had just lost his only son."

"Mu Huan was sent to the Ji Family by Shi Rong, publicly declared as the long-lost child of Mr. Ji’s son, and since then, he had no ties with the Mu family."

"Mr. Ji had only one granddaughter, named Wanxia, more than ten years younger than Mu Huan, so Mu Huan managed the company until...Mu Huan went to prison, and Ji Family went bankrupt."

Nan Wan felt as if a small hole was pricked in her heart, at first, it was just a slight pain, but that pain gradually spread around, penetrating even into the flesh with fine and dense pain.

Her lips moved, trying several times, a slightly hoarse voice squeezed out of her throat, "Until three months ago, the Mu Family faced a crisis, Aunt couldn’t save it, so she used connections to get Mu Huan released early to take over the Mu Family."

The Qingcheng people all knew, Mu Jinqian had no interest in the business world, leaving the brilliant family business behind, only wanting to be a doctor who saves lives.

Her words were straightforward.

Mu Libei’s heart filled with uncontrollable bitterness, his eyes slightly wet, "That’s about it."
