Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 171: Tsk tsk, pregnant and still coming to this kind of place? _4
"That’s fine, I don’t like him anyway."
Hearing this, Mu Jin Huan sneered, "Does that mean there’s someone you actually do like?"
"Our Xu Moyi is both pretty and has a great personality, and she can paint beautifully. Huo Yihan doesn’t deserve her. She has plenty of young talents chasing after her, maybe without his power and influence, but at least their eyes aren’t blind."
"I didn’t know you had such a big prejudice against Yihan."
Upon hearing this, Nan Wan patted the man’s arm with her free hand, in a soothing gesture, raised her head, and gently smiled, "Don’t worry, he’s him and you’re you. I won’t judge you by him."
Mu Jin Huan lowered his gaze, stared at the woman’s smiling face, and his thin lips lifted in a barely noticeable arc, his voice deep and low, "Better be."

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Miyue.
A waiter was already waiting at the door, respectfully guiding the four of them to the private room, "Mr. Huo and his friends are here. Is there anything else you need?"
Since it was still daytime, the atmosphere wasn’t as ambiguous as at night, and there were no entangled couples in the corridor.
It was a softly-lit high-end club.
"No, we’re good."
Mu Jin Huan knocked on the door, and before he could make a move, someone inside the room opened it.
Xu Moyi was startled by the person blocking the doorway, patting her chest and letting out a deep sigh.
The first person she saw was Nan Wan, and the thought of cursing their ancestors disappeared instantly, replaced by an adorable smile, "Sis, Mr. Mu, you’re finally here."
Nan Wan looked at Xu Moyi helplessly.
See? No chance for me to guess wrong at all.
Xu Moyi’s eyes moved past Mr. Mu and landed on the pair behind him, "Hmm? They look familiar... Brother-in-law, are they your friends? I feel like I’ve seen them before, but can’t recall where."
Though being called ’brother-in-law’ twice was pleasing, Mu Jin Huan didn’t want to stay at the doorway any longer, "Let’s talk inside."
Reluctantly, Xu Moyi stepped aside, making way.
When Huo Yihan saw the newcomers, he put down the cards in his hand, stood up, and extended his hand towards Gu Shaozhi, "Mr. Gu, long time no see."
Gu Shaozhi smiled faintly and shook his hand, "Mr. Huo seems to be enjoying himself; it looks like you’ve already had a round of success."
He moved with an air of elegance and nobility.
The people in the private room were all known figures in their circle. They made room and said with a hearty laugh, "We’ve been waiting for Mr. Gu and President Mu to reign in his arrogance."
The two of them didn’t stand on ceremony and took the open seats.
The gentlemen had brought along companions, uniformly glamorous women with slender waists and bold red lips, who looked at Nan Wan with disdain and scorn.
Nan Wan was used to it, shaking hands nonchalantly with those who greeted her.
Xu Moyi noticed this and shot back an irritated glare.
Hooking arms with Nan Wan, she said, "Sis, beautiful fairy, let’s sit over there."
The private room was large, not just a parlor for card games; there was also a tea-drinking and chatting area behind a screen, with various fruits and nuts spread on the table, along with floral tea.
Nan Wan asked her, "Weren’t you going out?"
Xu Moyi sat on a soft stool, glancing sideways at those slender-waisted women, deliberately raising her voice, "With you and the fairy here, my eyes feel refreshed, there’s no need to go out."
Nan Wan was accustomed to Xu Moyi’s mother hen protecting her little chicks stance, calmly grabbing a clean cup and pouring Ji Wanxia a cup of floral tea, "It smells good, have a taste."
Ji Wanxia accepted it with a smile, "Thanks, sister-in-law."
Sister-in-law?
Xu Moyi leaned forward abruptly, placing her elbows on the table to scrutinize the person across from her, "You... you’re Ji Wanxia?"
It’s true what they say – seeing is believing. No wonder she looked familiar.
Ji Wanxia blinked and said softly, "Just calling me by my name feels more pleasant."
After refilling Xu Moyi’s cup, Nan Wan poured herself some tea, letting the floral fragrance cover half the room’s smoky and perfumed scent.
She sat down, extended a finger to push Xu Moyi’s head back, "Have you tried on your bridesmaid dress?"
Xu Moyi pursed her lips, pretending to be aggrieved, "Of course, I tried it on as soon as I got it. I definitely won’t embarrass my big sis on the wedding day."
Ji Wanxia watched with interest, peeling an orange in her hand, "Sister-in-law, your sister is quite lively."
Nan Wan shook her head helplessly, "That’s her only good trait."
Those who love to laugh often carry the most heavy hearts. Except for Xu Moyi herself, no one knows how many unspoken secrets she harbors inside.

Nan Huaiyu squinted his eyes, watching the woman approaching from a distance.
She wore light makeup, her cool face devoid of any extra expressions, looking straight ahead as if she hadn’t seen him.
As she came closer, the faint scent of lilies in the air became more distinct.
Just before she was about to pass by him, he stepped in front of her to block her path.
She moved left, he moved left. She moved right, he casually followed suit, always staying in her way.
The corners of his eyes held a roguish smile, "Tsk tsk, pregnant and still coming to places like this? Your husband isn’t worried about sowing seeds without reward?"
Nan Wan closed her eyes briefly, raising her head with impatience, her voice devoid of warmth, "Before I come looking for you, can’t you be smart enough to not get in my way?"
"Looking for me?" Nan Huaiyu feigned surprise, stepping closer, "I’m really curious about under what circumstances you would seek me out."
The intense tobacco smell mixed with a woman’s perfume made Nan Wan nauseous. She furrowed her brows, taking two steps back to increase the distance, "You know better than I do."
Nan Huaiyu leaned forward slightly, with a semblance of a smile, deliberately dragging out his tone, "For the sake of your half-dead brother..."
"Slap!" A loud sound filled the air.
A waiter coming out of the restroom witnessed the scene, unsure whether to retreat or advance, feeling awkward and not knowing what to do.
Nan Huaiyu licked the corner of his mouth, straightened up, and looked at the waiter with a gaze cold as ice, "Get lost."
The waiter trembled in shock, originally intending to walk past them with his head down, but after taking two steps, he realized and quickly scurried back to the restroom.
As the hurried footsteps faded away, Nan Wan clapped her hands as if brushing off dirt, "This time it was a slap, next time I don’t know what it will be."
Nan Huaiyu shrugged, as if the slap hadn’t landed on his face at all, "I’m looking forward to it too."
At this moment, an extremely glamorous woman walked out of the restroom, her high boots clicking on the floor, a stark contrast to the male waiter’s earlier footsteps.
