Chapter 546: Chapter 546

Ning Wan did not notice Xi Mohan catching up to her from behind; her goal was very clear—she intended to make this child the center of attention.

The people who were originally dancing in the dance floor couldn’t help but abruptly stop their movements when suddenly someone came rushing in, turning all their eyes on Ning Wan.

Ning Wan looked straight ahead, unaffected by the murmurs starting to rise around her, appearing as though she was oblivious to everything and had heard nothing.

"Ning Wan, what exactly are you trying to do? Whose child is this, after all?" Xi Mohan had caught up to Ning Wan, grasping her arm directly, staring at the child she was holding in her arms, a vague premonition stirring in his heart.

This premonition was that the events to follow would drastically alter Lu Tianming’s grand sixtieth birthday celebration that evening.

Ning Wan, unaware of Xi Mohan’s thoughts, would have certainly applauded him for being extremely clever, had she known.

Ning Wan had already attracted a lot of attention, and the moment Xi Mohan appeared, reporters at the party immediately came out, with some taking photos and others recording videos.

Always, in An City, there exists a list ranking whose news or scandal is most valuable.

Undoubtedly, many people are concerned about Lu Jingchen, and even more are curious about his affairs, but Xi Mohan and Ning Wan instantly overshadowed Lu Jingchen.

Speaking of Xi Mohan and Ning Wan, there had always been numerous rumors circulating among everyone, especially since before Ning Wan, there was her cousin... Ning Yan’er.

When Ning Yan’er was with Xi Mohan, they were considered an enviable couple by everyone. At that time, Xi Mohan never had any scandals with others and had only Ning Yan’er as his fiancée. Combined with his extraordinary appearance and aloof demeanor, he undoubtedly captured the hearts of many girls... ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝕟𝕖𝕥

However, later on, Xi Mohan announced the cancellation of his engagement with Ning Yan’er, creating a sensation throughout An City, even trending on Weibo for a long time.

Less than a week after Xi Mohan announced the dissolution of the engagement, someone captured Xi Mohan and Ning Wan entering and leaving a hotel together, and the attention on them sharply increased.

After all, this was a love triangle, and even more intriguingly, Ning Wan and Ning Yan’er were cousins.

However, in the past six months, news about Xi Mohan and Ning Wan had been sparse, and it had been several months since any development between Xi Mohan and Ning Wan had been seen.

Now, with this scene unfolding here, and Ning Wan holding a child in her arms, everyone naturally began to gossip again, not letting this opportunity slip by.

Ning Wan ignored the surrounding reporters; her arm was grabbed by a man, causing her complexion to look somewhat displeased. She directly addressed Xi Mohan, saying, "Whose child this is, what does it have to do with you? It’s definitely not yours, let go of me, or I won’t be polite."

Xi Mohan’s expression turned icy, and with a firm pull, he brought Ning Wan into his arms.

Caught off guard, Ning Wan suddenly bumped into the man’s embrace. As she was holding a child in her arms, this sudden collision almost caused her to drop the child, but fortunately, she managed to steady her heart and held the child tightly.

Raising her head to look at the man in front of her, Ning Wan gritted her teeth and spoke, "Xi Mohan, are you fucking crazy?"

Xi Mohan gazed down at her, his eyes so deep that they seemed bottomless, and even a bit gloomy. His gaze landed on the child in her arms, who had big eyes and looked very cute. His voice was lowered, carrying a hint of darkness, "Tell me, whose child is this?"

Ning Wan was speechless, feeling a surge of anger spreading within her heart, the fury growing stronger, even on the verge of exploding.

However, she knew that it wasn’t the right moment to make a scene with Xi Mohan too intensely. After a while, she spat out a few words, "None of your business."

The incident between Ning Wan and Xi Mohan had drawn the attention of everyone present. Even Lu Tianming and Xu Qian, as well as Lu Jingchen and Tan Shuya next to him, noticed the commotion and walked over.

Lu Jingchen looked at Ning Wan, initially stunned, then his gaze fell on Xi Mohan and he spoke indifferently, "What’s going on here?"

Xi Mohan’s lips were tightly pressed, remaining silent, his hand still tightly gripping Ning Wan’s arm, trapping her in his embrace.

Not far away, Ning Yan’er held a wine glass, her gaze dark and filled with hatred as she looked at the two people hugging each other, her other hand clenched tightly into a fist, her nails almost digging into her flesh.

Ning Wan shifted her gaze from Xi Mohan and looked at Lu Tianming and Lu Jingchen in front of her. It must be said that they indeed resembled each other as father and son, not only in appearance but also in their methods.

Her eyes moved slightly, landing on Tan Shuya next to Lu Jingchen, especially noticing that Tan Shuya was holding Lu Jingchen’s arm, which immediately made Ning Wan’s face turn colder.

However, she quickly suppressed the anger in her heart, her lips curling into a cold smile as she spoke to Lu Tianming and Lu Jingchen, "Oh, it’s nothing much. I just knew that today is Lu Elder’s sixtieth birthday, so I came to give him a present."

Actually, the child had already been brought to her a few days ago. The reason she did not immediately bring the child to Lu Jingchen was exactly for today.

Lu Tianming’s gaze fell on Ning Wan. He immediately recognized her identity, the girl in front of him was not only the Second Miss of the Ning Family but also Song Qiao’s best friend. His expression wasn’t pleasant, but he still spoke, "If you’re attending the banquet, you should dress appropriately. Weren’t you once a well-known socialite in An City? Don’t you understand this?"

Facing Lu Tianming’s criticism, Ning Wan’s smile grew even colder, and she replied in a low voice, "I am merely here to deliver a dress on someone’s behalf. If I were really attending the banquet, I would naturally pay attention to my attire, but I’m sorry, your sixtieth birthday, actually, I didn’t want to attend at all."

She did not have the slightest fondness for the Lu Family, especially Lu Tianming. Because of Song Qiao, she wished she could just grab a glass of wine and splash it in his face, regardless of his elder status.

"You..." Lu Tianming, momentarily dumbfounded by Ning Wan’s words, looked very displeased.

"Ning Wan, what exactly do you want to do? Uncle Lu is your elder." Xi Mohan also noticed that Lu Tianming was angered and finally couldn’t help but speak, lowering his gaze to the woman in his arms.
