Chapter 545: Chapter 545

The child Ning Wan brought was none other than one of the twins born to Song Qiao for Lu Jingchen.

Over half a year ago, when Song Qiao left An City, she had also told Ning Wan that they were still in touch initially, but then Ning Wan discovered that the man Xi Mohan had actually sent people to follow her, trying to find Song Qiao’s whereabouts. She immediately told Song Qiao to stop contacting her until she herself had left An City, then she could get in touch with her.

In more than half a year, she has been dealing with her issues with the Ning Family, as well as those with Xi Mohan.

However, Xi Mohan was utterly impervious to influence; no matter what she did, even harming him, he would just laugh it off.

Ning Wan really couldn’t figure out if that man’s brain was damaged or if he was under some kind of spell, considering how he used to hate and even torment her to the point of death, and now he seemed to behave like he was in love with her... although he never directly said so.

But Ning Wan thought, even if he really did fall in love with her, or even if he didn’t, she intended to stay as far away from this man as possible.

Although Xi Mohan stood on the other side of the hall, he noticed Ning Wan as soon as she appeared.

The reason was simple, because Ning Wan said she would come today, so he had been looking at the entrance from time to time, waiting for when she would arrive.

However, when he saw that Ning Wan was not wearing an evening gown, but her usual casual attire, Xi Mohan couldn’t help but frown. Still, he put down his glass of red wine and walked towards Ning Wan at the entrance with his long legs wrapped in a suit.

The baby in her arms seemed to feel the noise around and opened his eyes, probably not accustomed to the atmosphere, and suddenly burst into tears.

Ning Wan’s gaze had been on Lu Jingchen in the center of the dance floor the whole time, but when she heard the baby cry, she immediately looked down and gently patted the baby’s back, coaxing softly, "Be good, don’t cry..."

Regarding this child, Ning Wan’s feelings were very complicated. For one, the child was Lu Jingchen’s, and thinking of what Lu Jingchen had done to Song Qiao, her resentment towards Lu Jingchen naturally existed. But this child was also Song Qiao’s, and in college, they had promised each other that whoever had a child would act as the other’s godmother.

Truth be told, when Song Qiao suddenly reached out to her, asking her to bring the child to Lu Jingchen, Ning Wan was initially shocked, then became indecisive.

She didn’t want to give this child to Lu Jingchen at all, after all, the child was born alone by Song Qiao abroad, and Lu Jingchen not only wasn’t there for Song Qiao, but was even with another woman now.

How could she not be furious?

"Whose child is this?"

Just as Ning Wan was deep in thought, a cold voice with a hint of anger suddenly rang out beside her.

Upon hearing this voice, Ning Wan involuntarily stiffened, and as she lifted her head, she saw Xi Mohan standing in front of her, staring at her with an angry and handsome face.

Her own face immediately turned cold, and she replied indifferently, "It’s none of your business."

Seeing Xi Mohan, Ning Wan felt nothing but annoyance, wishing this man would vanish from her sight immediately.

"Ning Wan!" With an extended arm, he directly grabbed her arm, his voice turning even colder, calling out her name with an edge that seemed to gnash his teeth.

Ning Wan shook off his hand. Seeing him attempting to grab her again, she stepped back and sneered, "Xi Mohan, you don’t need to shout at me. Your emotions can no longer sway my thoughts. If you want to know whose child this is, find out yourself. When I loved you, I cared about everything related to you. But now I don’t love you anymore, so everything about you is irrelevant to me. I have no need to waste my energy on you."

The man, upon hearing her words, couldn’t help but suddenly stop gripping her hand, as if all the blood in his body had been frozen in place.

The woman’s clear, distinct words just now seemed to keep replaying next to his ear.

’I cared about everything related to you when I loved you, but now I don’t love you anymore, so everything about you is irrelevant to me. I have no need to waste my energy on you.’

For a moment, Xi Mohan felt as if something in his mind silently exploded, leaving his brain blank for an instant.

He looked at the woman in front of him and suddenly felt she was a stranger, as if the woman before him was not the Ning Wan he knew.

The previous Ning Wan would do everything to appear before him, calling him ’Brother Mohan’ with fascination and love, even going to great lengths to catch him off-guard and steal a kiss, then giggling foolishly like an idiot after succeeding.

When did all this start to change?

It seems to have started when he used every means to keep her confined to his side.

Ning Wan didn’t look at him again but directly walked towards Lu Tianming, holding the child. For origınal chapters go to 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩

She knew much, like the main reason behind Song Qiao’s departure was because of Lu Tianming. She had been hearing from people around her since high school what kind of person he was.

Ruthless and decisive, his actions never considered anyone but the Lu Family.

No wonder, with such a personality and tactics, how could CK Corporation not thrive?

Now that Song Qiao had given birth to the child for the Lu Family, and the Lu Family’s bloodline was so abnormally obsessed, Ning Wan was very aware that appearing with the child was like a ticking time bomb, just waiting for her to ignite it.

Perhaps it was because Ning Wan wasn’t wearing an evening gown, combined with being the most beautiful woman in An City and most importantly holding a child in her arms, that many people’s gazes first settled on her, followed by inevitable murmuring, which slowly drew more and more attention to her.

While music still filled the hall and people danced tirelessly in the ballroom, Ning Wan walked straight ahead, ignoring everyone around, making her way directly to Lu Tianming.

Xi Mohan stood not far away watching Ning Wan, his gaze deepening, his thoughts unknown. But when he saw Ning Wan heading towards Lu Tianming, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly lifted his feet to chase after her.
