The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief

Chapter 1391: Chapter 448: Mo Han and Wanwan Arc – The Man’s Unrestrained Gaze Fell Upon Her

Over the course of more than two years, Ning Wan grew increasingly beautiful, preparing to step into adulthood at eighteen. Meanwhile, Li Sheng also aged a couple of years, although the time hadn’t left any obvious marks on her face.

Seeing the concern and happiness in Li Sheng’s eyes as she looked at her, Ning Wan felt an unusual sensation inside, somewhat warm.

Li Sheng directly took her hand and led her toward the dining room, speaking as they walked, "This morning, Mr. Xi told me you were home. I thought he was joking, but I was surprised to find Miss Ning Wan really came back. I went out and bought quite a few groceries for lunch, all of your favorites. You came down at just the right time; the meal was prepared not long ago, perfect for eating now."

Ning Wan didn’t refuse or resist Li Sheng’s enthusiasm; after all, back at the villa, Li Sheng was the kindest to her.

Still, it seemed Li Sheng was overly enthusiastic, and having not contacted her in over two years, Ning Wan felt somewhat estranged.

Xi Mohan remained silent, his face revealing no clear emotion, his gaze resting solely on Ning Wan. Seeing them enter the dining room, he followed them inside.

On the dining table in the restaurant, eight or nine dishes were laid out, including five that Ning Wan liked, and a few that Xi Mohan preferred.

Seated at the table, Li Sheng warmly served her dishes, making Ning Wan feel even more uneasy, prompting her to quickly say, "Li Sheng, please sit down and eat with us, don’t just take care of me."

At Ning Wan’s words, Li Sheng was momentarily stunned, then replied, "I can’t do that..."

But before she could finish, Xi Mohan, who had been sitting across from Ning Wan without speaking, calmly picked up a dish in front of him and said, "Li Sheng, please join us and sit down. You’ve worked hard preparing so many dishes."

This time, Li Sheng was completely taken aback, considering how to refuse, as she was the maid and couldn’t sit at the table with her employers.

But before she could figure out how to decline, Ning Wan had already reached out and held her hand, saying, "Li Sheng, we haven’t had a chat together in a long time, please sit and eat with us."

Hearing this, Li Sheng couldn’t refuse, nodding a little awkwardly, "Alright."

Even though Li Sheng finally sat down, she still seemed a bit uneasy. Ning Wan, on the other hand, wasn’t bothered, and started finding topics to chat about with Li Sheng while eating, gradually helping her relax.

Though Ning Wan was chatting and eating with Li Sheng, she could still feel the gaze of the man across from her resting on her, unabated, making her extremely uncomfortable.

The reason for inviting Li Sheng to join the meal wasn’t just because it had been a long time since they last spoke; it was also because if Li Sheng didn’t join, it would just be her and Ning Wan there, and she assumed that man’s gaze would be even more unrestrained, making her even more uncomfortable.

Perhaps feeling the sudden disappearance of the man’s gaze, Ning Wan couldn’t help but steal a glance, only to find herself suddenly locking eyes with a pair of deep, penetrating eyes.
