In the VIP box, several pairs of eyes were fixed on the head peeking in from the doorway.
Their gazes met, and the air fell into silence for a few seconds.
Nan Yan blinked, feeling awkward inwardly. Why were they all staring at the door? Didn’t any of them drink or talk?
“Hi!” Nan Yan gave an awkward laugh and obediently stood properly as she greeted them.
Everyone froze for a few seconds. Qi Si took out his phone and compared it with the trending hot search photo.
“This is… Little Sister-in-law?”
“She looks way better in person than in photos.” Qi Si exclaimed. “Quick, Little Sister-in-law, come in.”
Nan Yan looked toward the black, dignified figure sitting in the shadows and stayed put obediently.
“Husband～ is it convenient?”
She was now sincerely trying to pursue Mo Jinchuan and could not afford to make him unhappy.
Nan Yan looked obedient and sweet, her voice soft and gentle. It completely stunned the people in the VIP box.
So this ice-cold, ascetic Mo Jinchuan actually liked this type.
But indeed, someone like Little Sister-in-law was not someone most men could resist.
Mo Jinchuan had also fallen.
Qi Si saw that Mo Jinchuan was staring blankly at Nan Yan and nudged him with his arm, speaking in a deliberately soft voice.
“Little Sister-in-law is asking you, is it convenient?”
Mo Jinchuan was still thinking about how Nan Yan and Xia Zhizhi had come to him one after another—whether it was coincidence or something else.
Hearing Qi Si’s pretentious, soft tone, he instantly got goosebumps.
“If you don’t speak, no one will know you just came back from Thailand.”
Qi Si: “……”
He glared at Mo Jinchuan while silently cursing him in a very dirty way, thinking he would spare him some face since Little Sister-in-law was present.
“Come over.”
Mo Jinchuan hooked his finger toward the obedient figure standing at the door.
He wanted to see what tricks Nan Yan was playing today.
Nan Yan’s eyes curved as she walked obediently to Mo Jinchuan and sat beside him.
“Husband, I made some small cakes today and brought them for you to try.”
She could not say she had come to see what Xia Zhizhi, the female lead, was planning.
Although the cake looked extremely unappetizing, it was still her sincerity—haha.
Mo Jinchuan did not quite believe her as he opened the cake box.
“……”
What on earth was this black lump?
“Sister-in-law can even make cakes; she is truly virtuous.”
Qi Si, always one to join in the excitement, leaned over to look.
“…This cake… is truly distinctive.”
Mo Jinchuan turned to look at Nan Yan.
“A cake?”
Nan Yan could not help but smile.
“Yes, yes, it’s a dirty bun.”
A mischievous thought suddenly rose in her mind. Nan Yan scooped a large spoonful and brought it to Mo Jinchuan’s mouth.
“Husband, try it and see if it’s good?”
Mo Jinchuan: “……”
He did not want to eat it, but under Nan Yan’s expectant gaze, he reluctantly tried it.
Otherwise, she might go complain to the old master.
But soon, Mo Jinchuan regretted it. What kind of strange taste was this?
Not sweet, not salty, not bitter.
“Isn’t it extremely delicious?” Nan Yan smiled brightly.
Mo Jinchuan glanced at her expression, so sincere that it looked completely genuine.
Unbeknownst to him, Nan Yan was truly trying not to laugh.
Mo Jinchuan, enduring it, pushed the cake toward the center.
“Everyone try it. This is a cake made by Nan Yan herself.”
Qi Si and the others were surprised. Something so ugly—was it really delicious?
They each took a spoonful and tasted it.
Cough! Qi Si quickly covered his mouth.
The others also showed extremely varied expressions.
But none of them spat it out. After all, it was a gift from their sister-in-law on their first meeting, and handmade at that.
Even if it were something awful, they still had to give Mo Jinchuan face—since even Mo Jinchuan had eaten it.
Nan Yan could no longer hold it in. She suddenly realized Mo Jinchuan was even more ruthless than her.
“I’m going to the restroom.” Nan Yan said as an excuse to go out and laugh.
It would be impolite to laugh in front of them.
Mo Jinchuan glanced at her hurried figure and stood up to follow her.
At an inconspicuous corner of the corridor, Nan Yan sat on the sofa, laughing uncontrollably.
“Lu Youyou, I never thought the cake you made would be this good, hahaha…”
A pair of polished leather shoes stepped into her line of sight.
Nan Yan suddenly had a bad feeling and slowly looked up with a stiff expression.
Their eyes met, and she saw the man’s half-smiling gaze.
“……”
What kind of unlucky constitution did she have?
Every time, she got caught by Mo Jinchuan.
“…Haha, Husband, what a coincidence.”
Nan Yan greeted him with a stiff smile.
“Not a coincidence. I came specifically to see how you were laughing.”
“……”
Mo Jinchuan’s tone was relaxed, but his words were quite inappropriate.
His smiling eyes locked onto her like a tightening spell.
Nan Yan felt her scalp go numb under his gaze. She patted the seat beside her and forced a smile as she tried to find an excuse.
“Please sit. I still have an urgent call to take.”
As she spoke, she crouched and tried to slip away from the side.
After only two steps, her collar was grabbed.
Mo Jinchuan pulled her back onto the sofa, then casually pulled a chair over and sat directly in front of her.
“Just take your urgent call here. Don’t worry, I won’t listen.”
Nan Yan: “……”
This man really became ruthless when he acted shameless.
Seeing that she did not move, Mo Jinchuan asked with a teasing tone.
“Do you want me to make you an emergency call? Otherwise you’ll be too embarrassed.”
Nan Yan: “……”
Even bamboo shoots from pandas weren’t as damaging as him.
Nan Yan had no choice but to adapt. This man responded better to softness than force. She closed her eyes, then opened them again with teary, pitiful eyes.
“Husband, I was wrong.”
As she spoke, she threw herself toward Mo Jinchuan’s chest.
Mo Jinchuan pressed her face back with one hand and let out a light sigh.
“Hold back your tears. I didn’t even scold you—what are you acting for?”
Nan Yan: “……”
She withdrew her tears and looked at him innocently and pitifully.
“I only tasted a bit and thought it was quite bad. Then I figured you probably haven’t tried anything this bad before, so I brought it to share with you.”
Mo Jinchuan: “……”
What exactly was going on in her head?
Seeing that he remained silent, Nan Yan muttered softly.
“You even shared it with your friends, everyone is the same.”
Mo Jinchuan almost laughed from anger. She even had reasoning for it.
“So what is your purpose today?”
Mo Jinchuan glanced at her and added,
“Don’t tell me you came just to deliver a disgusting cake.”
Xia Zhizhi had just left, and she arrived right after. If there was nothing going on in between, he really could not believe it.
Nan Yan looked around for a long time but could not come up with a good excuse.
Finally, she said two words: “Catching adultery.”
Mo Jinchuan was rarely speechless.
Seeing him silent, Nan Yan suddenly gained confidence.
“I saw a men’s clothing bag in front of you. What? Are you secretly wearing clothes bought by someone else behind my back?”
Mo Jinchuan stood up and left.
In his lifetime, Mo Jinchuan never expected to be accused of cheating.
It was truly absurd.
Seeing him leave, Nan Yan finally relaxed.
In the future, she absolutely could not mess around in front of Mo Jinchuan again. She got exposed instantly every time.
