I Pretended to be Devoted and Weak, but My Husband Can Read Minds

Chapter 24: Feed The Turtles

“Teacher Chi?” Huo Yuan looked at Chi Nan in surprise and embarrassment.

He felt a little apologetic when he found out that Teacher Chi was fired because of him.

Chi Nan immediately revealed his most benevolent smile and reached out to touch Huo Yuan’s face. “Hello, Huo Yuan! I didn’t expect to meet you here again!”

Then, he turned around and said to Ning Wan, “Isn’t that so, Miss Ning Wan?”

Ning Wan said calmly, “Please call me Madam Huo.”

Chi Nan was very unconcerned. “The first time we met, I felt that we were fated. Indeed, we met again after flying through more than half a country. Do you think this is a predestined arrangement?”

Ning Wan resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Chi Nan continued to be enthusiastic. “Ning Wan, I’ll call you by your name. Call me Chi Nan too. We’re of the same age, so don’t be so hypocritical. What do you think?”

Ning Wan said calmly, “Please call me Madam Huo.”

She held Huo Yuan’s hand. “Let’s go find other delicious food.”

Huo Yuan acutely sensed Ning Wan’s displeasure and immediately followed her obediently.

Chi Nan followed behind them unhurriedly. His attitude was very calm. From afar, they looked like a family of three.

Ning Wan could not help but feel a little angry. She let Huo Yuan choose the fruit platter himself. She crossed her arms and turned around coldly to ask Chi Nan, “Mr. Chi, what exactly are you doing? What’s your motive?”

Chi Nan immediately revealed his signature smile. “I just want to be friends with you. Ning Wan, I really don’t mean any harm.”

Ning Wan hated such arrogant men the most. She snorted. “I’m sorry, I don’t need a friend like you.”

Chi Nan did not care about Ning Wan’s attitude at all. Instead, he looked at her even more affectionately. “Ning Wan, don’t be like this. Even though we’ve only known each other for a short period of time, believe me, I understand you. I know how oppressive and cruel that golden cage is to you. Ning Wan, don’t reject me. Let me accompany you and let me lead you step by step to your happiness!”

Ning Wan looked at Chi Nan in surprise. No! Was there something wrong with his brain?

However, the surprise in Ning Wan’s eyes was interpreted as her being moved by Chi Nan’s words.

He took a step forward and reached out to hold Ning Wan’s shoulder. “Wanwan, you deserve better! I will definitely be by your side and accompany you to the end, to the peak of your life!”

Ning Wan pushed Chi Nan’s hand away as if she had been electrocuted and cried out, “Are you crazy?”

Chi Nan didn’t mind. “Don’t be shy, Wanwan. Believe me, I understand your heart! I’ll definitely give you happiness!”

He extended his hand to Ning Wan again.

Ning Wan retreated, but the high heels she rarely wore could not keep up with her speed. She tripped and fell back.

Ning Wan cursed Chi Nan’s ancestors in her heart. She wished she could immediately give birth to a special power and throw him into the sea to feed the turtles. However, she could only resign herself to fate and fall back!

However, she did not fall—

Ning Wan felt a strong hand helping her up from behind.

She shuddered and immediately stabilized herself. She raised her hand and slapped the b*stard in front of her before she could see who had helped her up.

“Are you f*cking crazy!” She was like an enraged cub and wanted to continue, but someone grabbed her wrist.

“Don’t, I’ll do it!” Huo Ce’s deep voice sounded beside her.

Ning Wan seemed to have been frozen and immediately fell silent.

Chi Nan forcefully caught Ning Wan’s slap with his precious face. His fair skin immediately swelled. It was not that he did not react fast enough, but he was completely stunned.

The person standing beside Ning Wan and hugging her was the famous head of the Huo family, Huo Ce.

Huo Ce’s face was as dark as ink.

He was already an iceberg. At this moment, his aura was fully released. Everyone around him could feel his cold anger, and Chi Nan was frozen.

He had clearly seen that Huo Ce had already gone to the other side of the venue to discuss business with someone. He had only come to flirt with Ning Wan because he had seen the opportunity! When did Huo Ce walk over? He actually did not notice it at all.
