The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1269 - 639: Mo Han & Wanwan Arc – Ning Wan, Do You Think This Is Fun?

The words on the document in front of him were impossible to comprehend; the frustration in Xi Mohan’s heart was something he couldn’t suppress.

When the assistant entered with the files, he saw the man with a gloomy face staring at the computer screen, as if a storm was approaching, making him hesitate to enter, yet he stood there frozen, not daring to move.

Seemingly aware of the assistant standing at the door, the man directly lifted his eyes to look at him, giving just a casual glance and slightly parted his thin lips, "What’s the matter?"

From the tone alone, it was clear that Xi Mohan was truly in a bad mood. The assistant couldn’t help but shiver, internally reminding himself not to make any mistakes, to ensure he does his job well, and even if mistakes were made, not to do so in the presence of the president.

With this thought, he quickly composed his emotions, then swiftly walked up to Xi Mohan and spoke with a hint of respect, "President, these are the documents needed for the meeting later. The meeting starts in ten minutes. Is there anything else regarding the meeting?"

Xi Mohan furrowed his brows, his gaze fell on the files in front of the assistant. It was already eleven o’clock, and when the meeting ended, it would be just the right time to leave work.

Suddenly he remembered what Ning Wan had mentioned before, that her dishes seemed to take more than two hours to prepare?

And from the Ning Family Mansion to here, it took around an hour too, which means that Ning Wan started making these dishes at around seven in the morning.

Thinking of this, Xi Mohan furrowed his brows. It was currently their summer vacation, and in a couple of days, Ning Wan would return to school, which was what he had been considering all along.

After all, when Ning Wan goes to school, she wouldn’t be able to come to Xi Group every day.

An unusual emotion suddenly surfaced in his heart, and Xi Mohan directly stood up and told the assistant, "Postpone the meeting to the afternoon, I have something to attend to."

The assistant was somewhat stunned that his president would postpone the meeting and quickly said, "But President, if we do it in the afternoon, it will be evening at the branch office, and they would have finished work..."

"Then have them work overtime at night." Not waiting for the assistant to finish, Xi Mohan directly interrupted him.

The assistant simply did not know what to say to this, as the president had always prioritized work.

"What? Do you have any objections?"

"No objections, President. I’ll make arrangements right away." The assistant quickly shook his head.

Xi Mohan responded lightly, then strode towards the door with hurried steps.

...

Ning Wan looked at the words in front of her, her mood, initially dampened by Xi Mohan’s remarks, had started to recover bit by bit, and now she was actually in a pretty good mood.

Of course, more importantly, although she had initially thought of giving up, because Lin Musen had brought her to the rooftop to see all this, knowing that this was also Xi Mohan’s favorite place, her fighting spirit was reignited in her heart.

Lin Musen was also in a good mood, sitting there enjoying deliciously aromatic meals, comforting his stomach and intestines, and not feeling down at all.

Moreover, being abroad, he rarely got to eat authentic Chinese food; even when he went to Chinese restaurants, he always felt that none matched the taste of domestic dishes. Instead, Ning Wan’s cooking not only whetted his appetite but at this moment truly made him feel like he had returned home.

At this moment, the door to the rooftop suddenly burst open, the iron door clashing against the wall produced a harsh sound, startling both of them.

Lin Musen, who was picking up some food, was so startled that the food slipped back onto the plate, and Ning Wan, who was holding a basket of purple tulips, was so startled that the garden pot nearly slipped from her hands onto the floor. Fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to steady it before the flowers hit the ground.

Both turned their heads towards the door, instantly spotting Xi Mohan standing there with a cold expression, and Ning Wan’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly set the purple tulips down and stood up awkwardly.

Seeing Xi Mohan, Lin Musen was initially a bit shocked, but quickly gathered himself, picked up another bite of food, and said while eating, "Weren’t you busy handling work and had no time to come up here? How come you’re here now?"

He showed no signs of panic for intruding into someone’s private space, seemingly indifferent and even sporting a subtle, pleasant smile, looking directly at Xi Mohan with a smile.

Xi Mohan gave him a fleeting glance, thin lips pursed, without saying a word, and immediately strode quickly towards Ning Wan.

Ning Wan watched as Xi Mohan approached her, momentarily forgetting how to react. Even when she caught a whiff of his cologne, she remained standing there blankly, lost in thought.

This wasn’t really surprising. From the moment Ning Wan started liking Xi Mohan, she constantly imagined the day he would approach her voluntarily. Now, seeing him walk towards her, she suddenly remembered a line she loved in a drama she watched before: ’My ideal man is a hero who will, one day, be clad in golden armor and ride a rainbow cloud to marry me...’

In Ning Wan’s heart, the hero she envisioned was Xi Mohan, and she had once fantasized about Xi Mohan arriving clad in golden armor, riding a rainbow cloud to marry her.

Xi Mohan looked at Ning Wan, who was lost in thought, staring at him stupidly. He furrowed his brows and stood in front of her, thin lips parted, "Ning Wan, does doing this make sense to you?"

Ning Wan was completely dumbfounded, not knowing what he meant by that, with a confused look on her face, she looked at him slightly bewildered, swallowed, and said, "I... I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Blurting out without context ’Ning Wan, does this make sense to you?’

This made her curious as to what was so significant or interesting about what she was doing.

Xi Mohan looked at her with pursed lips, his face showing almost no positive emotion, and said bluntly, "Pretending to be dumb seems to be your forte."
