Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 159 - 126. Mr. Mu was taken upstairs by Grandma for a conversation, and Mrs. Mu was eagerly waiting.
Upon hearing this, an undercurrent gathered in Nan Huaiyu’s eyes, yet on the surface, he still maintained that graceful and courteous demeanor, "Naturally, it’s just as President Mu thinks."
————
In the car.
Nan Wan lowered her gaze, pressing the buttons on her phone, the screen flickered on and off, "Did grandma... say anything?"
Mu Jin Huan looked at the road ahead, his voice warm and gentle, "Want to know?"
"Not particularly."
"Great, I’m not particularly inclined to tell."
Nan Wan, "..."
She put her phone into her bag, thinking it was impossible to chat today.
Apart from those instructions, she couldn’t imagine what could have kept Mr. Mu upstairs for nearly half an hour.
When he came down, his expression was as usual, leaving her unable to discern any clues.
Mu Jin Huan freed one hand, reached over to the passenger seat, and held her delicate hand.
Half-jokingly and half-seriously, he said, "Grandma said her granddaughter is the kindest girl in the world and told me to cherish her well."
As ordinary as these words could be, they left Nan Wan in a daze for quite a while.
It wasn’t until they reached a curve that Nan Wan withdrew her hand and said softly, "Just focus on driving."
Mu Jin Huan turned the steering wheel, "Don’t want to continue?"
"One or two sentences are fine, but too much of it starts to sound insincere."
"That’s true, indeed."
——-——
After washing up, it was nearly midnight when Nan Wan walked into the bedroom, lifted the covers, and lay down.
She turned off the lights, adjusted to the most comfortable position, and asked, just before sleep overtook her, "When is your sister coming over? I need to request leave in advance."
Mu Jin Huan enfolded her in his arms, his warm palm resting on her small abdomen, "The exact day isn’t set yet; it might be this weekend."
The silk robe clung tightly, accentuating her graceful curves even more, the fragrance of her freshly bathed skin lingered pleasantly, feeling exquisite to the touch.
From initial discomfort to now becoming second nature.
Warmth emanated from behind, seeping slowly into her skin through the thin fabric.
Nan Wan distinctly remembered the scene the first time they shared a bed.
She only needed to turn over, and he would instantly wake up, his breathing taking ages to return to a steady sleep.
The next day, weariness was unmistakably evident in his eyes.
Nan Wan had only casually asked, so she responded equally casually, "Oh."
"Time is a bit tight; don’t go to work next week, free up your schedule."
Indeed, their wedding was less than ten days away, and even though she had no real burdens to shoulder, there were still things others couldn’t help with.
"Did you choose the wedding dress?"
They were sitting so closely that she could hear his heartbeat.
Mu Jin Huan closed his eyes, "Who else would have chosen it then?"
He seemingly hadn’t shaved, his faint stubble brushing against her shoulder was both itchy and painful, making her shift forward just a bit, "You’re so busy every day, yet you still have time to pick out a wedding dress."
Mu Jin Huan frowned, pulling her back into his embrace, "Heads of state are even busier, yet they still find time to eat and sleep."
Nan Wan, "..."
This sentence effectively blocked all the teasing she had left.
Eyes closed, sleep.
...
Ten minutes later.
Mu Jin Huan’s arm was wrapped like an iron band around the woman’s waist, his voice low and hoarse as he asked, "Why are you so restless, feeling uncomfortable?"
This voice sounded even more seductive in the dark.
Nan Wan clearly sensed the man’s rising body temperature and felt a little embarrassed, "Your stubble is prickling me and I can’t sleep..."
Upon hearing this, Mu Jin Huan’s body moved even closer, the warmth of his breath falling on her neck.
Yet his hand remained on her waist, seemingly stroking idly, "I thought Mrs. Mu was trying to seduce me on purpose."
Nan Wan’s back stiffened, her breath slightly held, her voice very low, "Am I that kind of person?"
Initially, Mu Jin Huan had no such amorous intention, it was just the gentle, fragrant softness snuggled in his embrace that stirred him awake.
Continuing in a leisurely tone, "If not, just be good and sleep; move again and I can’t promise I won’t do something."
A gentle warning.
Nan Wan wasn’t bothered, chuckled, "Looking at me like this, what can you do?"
Mu Jin Huan said nothing, demonstrating through action precisely what he could do.
He rolled over and captured her lips in the faint moonlight, sharing the most intimate kiss between a man and a woman.
The man propped his elbow on the bed, careful not to put his weight on her, yet his seemingly magical hand explored deeply and shallowly, making her cheeks flush with excitement.
Nan Wan wanted to leap away from this sweltering atmosphere, but the arms around her waist prevented her movement.
She turned her face away, breathing slightly erratic, realizing what the man intended as he moved again, her small hand quickly raised to block his descending kiss.
Her voice was soft and gentle, "Otherwise... I’ll go sleep next door."
Mu Jin Huan suppressed his restlessness, his voice rough, "If you go next door, how’s that any different from me being alone at North Shore Villa?"
Were it not for the cover of night, her cheeks would surely blush, "Aren’t you just making trouble for yourself?"
Indeed, if he hadn’t touched or kissed, it wouldn’t be such a dilemma now.
His temples throbbed, the earlier drowsiness long dissipated.
He rolled to the side, pulling the woman’s head against his chest, "Sleep."
Nan Wan really wanted to say this way no one would sleep well, but on second thought, she chose to remain silent; she didn’t want a repeat.
Thankfully, the stubble on the man’s chin didn’t bother her anymore; it was warm, but she treated it like cuddling a heater.

For the past three days, it was always Mu Jin Huan driving Nan Wan to the hospital every morning; sometimes, when they had time at noon, they’d have lunch together, and after work in the evening, it was Mu Jin Huan who came to pick her up at the hospital door.
In Qin Zhenzhen’s words, it was precisely how a couple acts during the honeymoon phase.
Every time she saw the car waiting downstairs, she would tease her with a smile, but Nan Wan pretended not to see the teasing in her eyes.
Just like today.
"Doctor Nan, it’s finally the weekend, why not take a break from work? Otherwise, Mr. Mu will worry."
Nan Wan didn’t even lift her head, "I need to take time off next week, might as well make the most of today." 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Ji Wanxia and Gu Shaozhi would arrive on Sunday, the wedding photos were scheduled for Monday afternoon, and the wedding was on Wednesday; time was tight.
Qin Zhenzhen had a delayed reaction, "A full week off? For what?"
Nan Wan felt helpless, hadn’t she already given the girl the invitation?
Shaking her head, "For a wedding."
Qin Zhenzhen smacked her forehead, realizing suddenly, "Oh right."
Then she picked up the folder on the desk, "In that case, Doctor Nan, work on your stuff, I won’t take up anymore of your time."
"Please close the door for me."
