Drunk on Marriage, Billionaire's Overindulgent Love-Chapter 184 - 133. Pre-marriage phobia?

Bai Ruoshu understood what he meant by knowing one’s place.

The "colleagues" around her were all in varying states of undress, submissively allowing the men to take advantage of them, with occasional feigned reluctance serving merely as a form of flirtation.

Her lips moved with difficulty, but before she could utter a word, a calm voice cut through the uproar, sounding beside her ear.

"There are plenty of women here who know their place, many who are prettier than her. Why throw away money to bring trouble upon yourself, Young Master Tang?"

Originally noisy, the venue quieted down immediately.

Tang Chengmo looked at Bai Ruoshu and laughed softly, "That’s true, but what can I do? Her phony pretentiousness just irks me."

After speaking, as if something suddenly occurred to him, he clapped his hands lightly, "Oh, what a memory I have, this chick is the one Mr. Nan has his eyes on..."

Nan Huaiyu laughed softly, speaking leisurely, "I’ve seen plenty of women I’m interested in, apart from those who are exceptionally good at serving men, the rest... I can’t recall clearly."

It was too dark for Bai Ruoshu to see his face.

But every word, devoid of warmth, felt like a stab into her heart, causing a dense pain that made it hard to breathe.

Tang Chengmo draped his arm over the woman’s shoulder, his fingertips barely grazing the softness of her chest, his lips curling up, "Then I’ll take this one with me, and teach her properly how to serve men."

Nan Huaiyu half-closed his eyes, elegantly swirling the amber liquid in his glass, his voice flat, "Take care, Young Master Tang, have fun."

At that moment, Bai Ruoshu felt like she had fallen into an icy pit.

Since Nan Wan had spoken to Aunt Zhou, meals were no longer purely vegetarian, returning to how they were initially.

After lunch, Mu Jin Huan returned to his study to handle urgent matters, while Nan Wan played with Barton for ten minutes before going upstairs.

She changed clothes in the dressing room and went to the study.

She placed a freshly brewed cup of tea by the man’s hand, speaking softly, "I’m going out for a while."

Mu Jin Huan’s eyes looked over the computer screen towards the already dressed woman, his brows furrowed slightly, "Tomorrow will be exhausting, you should stay home and rest, if it’s not urgent, postpone it."

Nan Wan picked up the dropped documents from the floor, smiling at him, "I’m going to mail the case file to Sheng Boyan; the sooner we have results, the sooner you’ll be at ease."

At these words, Mu Jin Huan’s expression remained steady, replying indifferently, "I’ll have the driver handle it for you."

"The case file is still in the office, I can drive over myself."

Mu Jin Huan was aware that there were many confidential items in the office, so he didn’t insist further, "Be back for dinner."

Nan Wan wanted to say she might be back late and that he shouldn’t wait for her, but before she spoke, she changed her mind and smiled, "Alright."

Her car was still parked by her apartment, so she drove the least conspicuous car from Mu Jin Huan’s garage. Without traffic, she arrived at the hospital in less than half an hour.

"Hello?" Qin Zhenzhen, coming out of the bathroom, happened to see Nan Wan step out of the elevator. She dried her hands and jogged over, "Doctor Nan, didn’t you take a day off?"

Nan Wan glanced at her, rummaging through her bag for the keys, "I left something in the office; I’m here to pick it up."

Qin Zhenzhen leaned against the doorframe, hooking her finger under Nan Wan’s chin in a mock scoundrel flirting with an innocent girl style, "Oh my, the bride is looking radiant today..."

But before she could finish, she realized her behavior was inappropriate, her hand froze there, neither moving nor staying still.

Nan Wan was stunned too; though this girl was lively and behaved as a competent subordinate towards her, joking occasionally, she had never taken such a bold action.

The two of them stared at each other, frozen for several seconds.

Feeling the powerful aura of the other, Qin Zhenzhen swallowed and slowly retracted her hand, "Doctor Nan, I... I need to check the temperature of the patient in bed 106."

Having said that, she turned to make her escape.

However, as soon as she took her first step, a calm voice behind her said, "Stop."

Qin Zhenzhen closed her eyes, retracting her extended foot, mechanically turned around, laughing dryly, "Hehe..."

But the other didn’t blink, just kept watching her, making her feel very uneasy.
