Chapter 309: Chapter 309 Straight Man in His True Nature(1)_1

No one knows what Chi Mu said to Han Jingnian, he turned to glance at her, and they took a few steps down the stairs. Just as they reached the fountain, Chi Mu steadied herself against a street lamp at the entrance of the Beijing Hotel and adjusted her sandals.

...

What Xia Wan’an saw was actually like this -

Since it had rained in the evening, the temperature was somewhat low. As they left the Beijing Hotel, a gust of wind brought a hint of cold air.

Chi Mu, wearing a spaghetti strap dress, hugged her shoulders and shivered. Then she looked at the suit jacket on Han Jingnian’s arm and said, "I didn’t expect it to be so cold at night in Beijing..."

The moment she finished her sentence, her voice trembled.

Han Jingnian paused for three seconds. He looked slowly at Chi Mu who was "shivering" from the cold, wondering why she followed him after he left the dinner party earlier, and simply said "oh".

Just then, a gust of wind blew. He felt a slight chill, nodded, and saying, "Yes, the temperature isn’t high today," he gracefully put on his coat.

Chi Mu: "..."

But Chi Mu wasn’t discouraged because Han Jingnian had always treated her this way since childhood. To be precise, he treated everyone in the same manner.

While following Han Jingnian, Chi Mu started a conversation, "My Maserati is so hard to drive now, it keeps stalling inexplicably. I wonder if I can drive it home later."

Han Jingnian didn’t pick up the conversion.

"On my way to the Beijing Hotel today, it stalled three times...."

After Chi Mu repeatedly brought up this topic, Han Jingnian finally spoke again: "Did you buy a fake car?"

Chi Mu: "..."

In just two short years since they last met, had Han Jingnian evolved from an unromantic man to a truly unromantic man?

A normal man, upon hearing such words, even if there was no romantic relationship, shouldn’t he, out of chivalrous manners, offer to give her a ride home?

After they walked for a while, Chi Mu felt her shoe strap loosen, and asked, "My shoelace has come untied... Can I grab onto you to help keep my balance while I tie it?"

He didn’t speak. She thought he agreed, and was about to grab his arm when he reflexively glanced at her, "I’m not some post, why would you hold onto me?"

Chi Mu: "......"

This man, after two years of marriage, was even more oblivious than before. He wasn’t just unromantic, he was completely obtuse!

Chi Mu, stifling the frustration in her heart, leaned against the nearby street lamp, symbolically adjusted her shoelace, and when she stood up again, she saw Xia Wan’an through the rear window of a car.

In just a split second, she stood up, as if drunk, took a few staggers steps in front of Han Jingnian, and then, without any warning, she lunged into his arms...

Chi Mu had been watching the car where Xia Wan’an was the whole time. The moment she tightened her hold around Han Jingnian’s neck, she saw the car start and then drive away.
