Because I simply love you Chapter 329: Trouble brewing

Chapter 329: Trouble brewing

Outside Shin’s clinic, as Huian stepped out in her wheelchair, a figure stopped in front of her.
Huian raised her head and saw that it was Mu Shuchun who had taken out her sunglasses.
She frowned at her and asked, “You were lying when you said that are Shin’s girlfriend, right?”
Huian had already guessed that the way she called him only by his name, they should have been dating in the past. Plus, her expressions and all gave it away anyway.
Huian raised her brow and said, “Why do you say that?”
“Because Shin and I were in a relationship in the past. We broke up, but we were very much close and in love with each other.”
“So?”
“I know that he still loves me. He only said that to hurt me.”
“Aaaaand your point?” Huian looked bored.
Mu Shuchun didn’t like the way that it did not affect Huian.
“So don’t you understand? I know you are lying. So stay away from him.”
“Why should I?”
Mu Shuchun gritted her teeth. “Because you are faking it.”
“Who said that?”
“What?”
“Didn’t you listen? Who said that we are not dating? Who said that I am faking? Me or Shin?”
“Didn’t you just admit?”
Huian blinked her eyes. “You are so stupid. I never admitted that I was faking. I just asked why did you say that. When in the world did I use the words – Yes, we are not dating?”
Mu Shuchun glared at her. She bit her lip. “How dare you call me that? And you didn’t know about me. That means you know nothing about our past. That just says that you are not important to him at all.”
Huian really wondered why Shin fell for an idiot like her.
Huian laughed. “You need help. You clearly said it yourself just now. PAST. If he didn’t tell me about you, that means it isn’t me but you who don’t hold any importance to him at all now. Like you said, just a past.”
She froze.
Huian smiled. “And I am his present.”
Mu Shuchun folded her arms. “Do you even know who Liang Shin is? Have you heard of the Liang family? They are one of the influential and prestigious families. And who are you? What status do you hold?
“I can ask you the same question.”
Mu Shuchun smiled. “I am the top model in Paris, and I have internationally signed up with many brands. I have filmed many famous commercials and endorsements.”
Huian said nothing.
“There is a very famous perfume brand for which I have to shoot as it’s brand ambassador. That’s why I came to Beijing.”
“Which brand?”
“Le Feur,” Mu Shuchun arrogantly said.
Huian inwardly chuckled. She knew everything when it came to women’s fashion industry and she had heard about it from Xiang Wei too. They were going to be investors.
Poor you. If I want, then I can throw you out of the program at the snap of my finger.
She wondered if she should tell her about her identity. But she kept quiet.
Mu Shuchun smirked. “What happened? Did you finally realize that you two are world’s apart?”
Huian played along. She bit her lip and feigned to be embarrassed. “I…”
That hesitation made her even more confident.
Mu Shuchun sighed. “Look. I am just trying to make you understand. You and Shin don’ t match. At the same time, I have worked so hard to reach this position to match up to him. We had our differences, but I am sure that we will sort them out.”
Huian said nothing.
“Think about it.”
Mu Shuchun put the glasses on again and left. She was confident that Huian would inevitably break up with him.
Huian’s expression took a sudden change when she left. Her lips curved into a faint smile.

Natsukashi.
The day was almost over, and Nana lay on the couch, a bit tired. But she felt it fulfilling working after so long.
Jinhai and Serena also didn’t bother her once they started working. At least not on the first day.
Nana didn’t realize when she dozed off to sleep.
Jinhai was arranging the tables, and he saw Nana peacefully sleeping.
He walked up to her and bent to her side. He gazed at her beautiful face and felt an urge to kiss her lips, but he couldn’t risk her getting awake and then getting kicked out.
Jinhai took out a blanket and gently pulled it on her so that she doesn’t catch a cold.
Nana furrowed her brows a bit, and Jinhai froze, but she simply adjusted herself.
His glance shifted to her belly, and he smiled. ‘Thank you…I promise that Papa will quickly patch up with Mama.’
Two hours later, when the driver came to take her back, Nana was still sleeping.
Jinhai didn’t have the heart to wake her up.
Serena sighed and whispered. “It’s time to close Natsukashi.”
Jinhai pursed his lips. He gently called out. “Nana.”
He shook her, and Nana slowly got up in a daze.
“Huh?”
She opened her eyes and blinked. She realized that she fell asleep.
The driver said, “Mam. If you are ready, can we leave?”
Nana nodded and she felt a little embarrassed.
She suspiciously looked at Jinhai.
He didn’t do anything during my nap, right?
Jinhai looked completely innocent.
“I swear I just pulled the blanket on you. You were feeling cold.”
“Hm.”
Nana tried to get up, but as usual, her belly made it difficult for her.
Jinhai offered his hand. “May I?”
He was very careful not to make her flip out.
Nana looked around, but Meiling and Qiu were already left and it would be difficult for Serena too.
Nana had no choice. She held his hand, and Jinhai supported her back to lift her up slowly.
Nana looked at him and said, “Lock all the doors and windows properly.”
Well, he was going to stay here, so now it was his responsibility to look after Natsukashi.
Jinhai nodded.
“You can use the twin’s room to sleep.”
“Okay.”
“And tomorrow the stock for the raw ingredients is going to arrive at seven. So be ready by then and help them to stock it up in the storeroom.”
Usually, it would be Meiling who would come earlier that day to handle the delivery.
Jinhai nodded.
Nana then looked at Serena and thought for a moment. “Do you want me to drop you home?”
Serena inwardly jumped in joy. It might be little, but she felt happy that Nana cared about her.
Serena shook her head. “No. The Chen family guard will be coming at any moment.”
Nana nodded. “Come at nine tomorrow.”
As Nana headed out and was about to step inside the car, she suddenly felt a little weird. She sensed a gaze but when she looked at the side, there was nobody out there.
Must be my imagination, she thought.

When Nana and Serena both left, Jinhai sorted out some stuff as per Nana’s instructions.
He was hungry, and he went into the kitchen to look for some food. There was still the stew and sweet and sour pork left in the vessels.
Jinhai smiled. He put some on a plate and sat on a table.
Since it was Natsukashi, Jinhai would get Nana’s made cooking to eat every day, and his heart filled with warmth.
He took one bit, and as always, the delicious pork instantly melted into his mouth.
When he thought about it a lot, he decided that staying at Natsukashi wasn’t a bad idea at all.
He wanted to see Nana every day but his stubbornness would have just made things messier.
Natsukashi was a part of Nana’s soul. Staying here meant staying close to Nana herself.
That wasn’t a bad deal at all.
Jinhai washed the dishes and went upstairs.
There were the twins and Nana’s room.
Jinhai silently stood for a minute. He opened the door to Nana’s room. He remembered how he had spent the night with her when he pretended to be drunk and helpless.
A faint smile laced his lips.
Jinhai got on the bed. Even now, he felt as if Nana’s sweet fragrance was lingering on the sheets and the pillow. It calmed him, and he quickly drifted off to sleep.

In front of one low-end bar, a car stopped, and a woman got out.
She went inside the bar and gritted her teeth as she was disgusted, stepping in such a filthy place.
But she had no choice.
At the far corner, there was a table where she saw a middle-aged couple whom she recognized.
She made her way there, and the couple raised their heads and met her gaze.
“You are finally here, Long Yanmei.” The woman spoke.
Long Yanmei pulled out her scarf. “Yes, Mrs. Tang Ning and Mr. Tang Feng.”
“Sit down.”
Long Yanmei asked, “So why have you called me?”
Tang Ning smiled. “Because we have a common enemy.”
“Nana.”
Tang Ning spat in anger, clenching her fingers into a fist. “Yes. I lost my daughter because of that bitch!”
Long Yanmei wasn’t any less furious either. “And I lost my child. And then even my marriage with Guozhi fell apart.”
They slowly smirked. “I want to destroy Nana just as she destroyed my Suyin.”
Long Yanmei put forth her hand. “Then let’s join hands. This time nobody will be able to save Nana.”
