"Nonsense."
After the two walked for a while, Shi Wan would sometimes be lazy and refuse to walk, preferring to lie on his back.
Shen Siyan indulged her. He carried her all the way there and would carry her back home when they wanted to leave, not feeling tired at all.
"You're kind of light," he said, jiggling her gently and chuckling.
"I've always been this weight," Shi Wan replied.
She was one of those people who never gained weight. For more than a decade, she had never weighed more than ninety-some pounds.
In the past, her grandma always thought she wasn't getting enough nutrition. Every day, she would pick up small bottles to sell just to buy her supplements.
But unfortunately, her weight never changed.
"Let's go home."
"Okay."
...
At Jinming Club.
By the time Shen Siyan arrived, Mu Weiran was already impatient.
"Why are you late?"
"I had to report to my wife first," Shen Siyan said as he sat down some distance away, lighting a cigarette. "Don't call any women."
Whether there was a woman by his side or not, he didn't want any misunderstandings.
"Don't I know you?" Mu Weiran sipped his wine leisurely. "Reporting to your wife before coming here. How embarrassing."
"Saying you're a dog would be an insult to dogs," Shen Siyan said with a smile. "Single people will never understand."
Mu Weiran wanted to curse again.
Since this guy got together with Shi Wan, nine out of ten sentences were about her.
He showed off to everyone, as if he was the only one in the world with a wife.
"Did you call me here for something?"
"If you're in a hurry, you can call Shi Wan here too."
"Just say it."
"Things have been unstable over there recently. Some people are trying to track your movements and cause trouble."
"Round them all up. I don't have time to play with them recently."
Mu Weiran: "..."
He understood. He was disturbing Shen Siyan's time with his wife.
"Alright. Also, a lot of people heard you were coming and want to meet you..."
"Shen Siyan?" Nian Lin's surprised voice came. "I thought I was seeing things. It really is you!"
"Why are you here?" He plopped down beside him. "Don't tell me you're here... looking for women?!"
Shen Siyan's face darkened. Before he could explain, Mu Weiran said, "Mr. Nian really knows. We were just about to call some. Does Mr. Nian want one too?"
"Good for you, Shen Siyan. You actually..." He gritted his teeth. "Wanwan is so good, and you actually dare to..."
"Don't listen to his nonsense," Shen Siyan said.
Under the man's murderous gaze, Mu Weiran still smiled amiably.
"Why not? You should believe what your eyes see."
"Get out," Shen Siyan explained. "I'm here to talk about some business..."
"What's there to explain about you coming here to talk business?"
His face darkened, and he simply ignored Nian Lin.
It wasn't his good girl. Why should he explain to him?
Seeing this, Nian Lin became even more energetic. "Look, I hit a nerve, didn't I? I never thought you were this kind of person. I even helped you get rid of your love rival before. I never thought..."
"What did you say?"
"I misjudged you."
Shen Siyan stood up. "I'm leaving. I'll settle this score with you."
As soon as Shen Siyan left, Nian Lin's playful expression faded. He tapped the table and warned, "Mr. Mu, don't stir things up easily."
He wasn't stupid. He could tell that Mu Weiran was doing it on purpose. There were too many people around here. How could he not get rid of Shen Siyan?
Mu Weiran's smile widened. "Of course."
He didn't expect this guy to have two faces.
The Nian family's power was not to be underestimated. Offending them in the capital would mean trouble, even if you didn't die.
He originally thought only the Nian family members in the military were tough guys. He didn't expect the most "useless" one in the Nian family to be a hidden tough guy too.
"Goodbye."
"Mr. Nian isn't in a hurry, is he? Let's talk about a business deal?"
"There's nothing to talk about."
Just because of his provoking words, there was no way they could do business in this lifetime.
What if he had bad intentions towards Shi Wan?
Seeing Nian Lin leave without looking back, Mu Weiran smiled faintly. Of course, it was better to let the boss deal with this kind of thing that would make people dislike him.
He was just a small fry.
As soon as Shen Siyan got in the car, the passenger door was opened, and someone got in.
"I want to go see Wanwan too."
"Get out."
The man's face was already very ugly. If it weren't for the good relationship between Shi Wan and Nian Lin, he would have kicked him out long ago.
"I'm going to see Wanwan. Otherwise, I'll tell her what happened tonight!"
"Get in the back."
Nian Lin paused. After making sure he wouldn't drive away, he got out of the car and sat in the back seat.
At Beihu Manor.
As soon as Nian Lin entered, before he could say anything, Shen Siyan hugged Shi Wan and complained aggrievedly, "Sweetheart, he tried to drive a wedge between us."
Nian Lin's mouth dropped open. "..."
What the hell?
He hadn't even said anything yet!
This dog man!
"That's not true, Wanwan," he explained when Shi Wan's gaze fell on him. "It was clearly him looking for women outside. After I caught him, he turned the tables on me!"
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
Nian Lin was silent. "Well, no. But if I had come a little later, you definitely would have..."
"Sweetheart, look. He's still slandering me."
Shi Wan rubbed her forehead. "Nian Lin, where did you see him?"
"Jinming Club."
"I know."
"You know? And then?"
"You misunderstood."
"I misunderstood?" Nian Lin widened his eyes. "How could I misunderstand? He was with another man at that time."
"He told me before he went." After a pause, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Nian Lin was silent. Yeah, why did he come?
"I came to see you."
After a long time, he said.
"Steward, prepare a room for Young Master Nian."
"Yes, Miss."
Nian Lin gave the man pretending to be pitiful a warning look. "You wait for me!"
Shen Siyan was fearless. If it were his brother-in-law, he might be a little afraid. But this guy was clearly an imposter.
He had already married his girl, so he didn't have to be afraid of anything.
Just as this thought crossed his mind, Shi Wan's faint voice sounded in his ear. "What's going on?"
"Mu Weiran was talking nonsense, and he misunderstood."
"So the reason you brought him home is?"
"What if he tells Old Master Nian nonsense? Then you'll have to go to the Nian family."
At least he had to appease the guy first. Then everything would be easier to negotiate.
He would never let his girl leave him alone and go to the Nian family, leaving him alone in an empty room.
"Okay."
"Why aren't you asleep so late?"
"I just finished dealing with some business and was about to go upstairs when you came back."
Shen Siyan hugged her and went upstairs.
As soon as they went up, they bumped into Nian Lin, who had been waiting for a long time.
"Wanwan, come back to the Nian family with me tomorrow. Grandpa misses you very much."
"Okay."
Shi Wan looked up at the man with a bad complexion and nodded helplessly.
"By the way, a lot of people want to meet you because of what happened last time. What do you think about..."
"We'll talk about it later."
Shen Siyan carried her into the bedroom and slammed the door shut, blocking Nian Lin's sight.
He moved his lips. Forget it. They were husband and wife. He seemed to have no right to stop them from staying together.
It was just that this guy surnamed Shen was getting more and more annoying.
