Normanis found everything about Xuan Mohan displeasing now, but thinking that they were there to register their marriage today, he considered it further. His daughter seemed to like this Xuan Mohan…
This made his feelings much more complex. Their precious daughter was barely out of his hands…
Therefore, he absolutely would not agree to them going through with the procedure today, especially without sufficient understanding of Xuan Mohan. He looked at his own precious daughter, wanting to see her thoughts.
The latter’s face was complicated because their paperwork was almost complete. Due to Xuan Mohan’s influence, they had skipped many steps, not even requiring a review. The staff simply processed it from the back end.
However, judging by the gentleman’s attitude, he clearly… wanted to stop her from marrying Xuan Mohan. This confused her, and she couldn't help but consider the gentleman's wishes.
Not only was the gentleman’s family very good to her, but she also liked them. So…
Jian You tentatively asked the man beside her, "Or, perhaps we could pick another time to come back?"
Xuan Mohan looked at her without speaking. After a moment, he released Jian You's hand and walked out without a word.
This was the first time Xuan Mohan had treated her like this since they started dating. Jian You felt terrible, and after Xuan Mohan left with his people, Jian You directly asked her question:
“Can you tell me the reason, Mr.?"
Normanis had been furious before coming, but seeing his daughter’s not-so-smiling face at this moment, he also felt uneasy.
He took Jian You’s small hand and patted it gently, his brows filled with apology. "It was my fault today… I'll tell you everything later."
These words were not convincing at all. Jian You should have been angry, but upon seeing the man’s melancholic eyes, the uncomfortable feeling surged within her again.
“… Let’s go see Madam.” Although she understood that Madam’s discomfort might be feigned, Jian You still wanted to visit.
Normanis instantly became as happy as a child. "Yes, alright, let's go home."
The word "home" evoked a strange feeling in Jian You’s heart. She even felt that the gentleman’s family treated her as their own. This was why she respected the gentleman's opinion. She could completely feel their kindness; it was very warm.
Outside, Xuan Mohan, who had walked far away, did not leave. He leaned against his car, smoking a cigarette that he had put in his mouth at some point, inhaling it fiercely and quickly.
Li An stood by, hesitating to speak, wanting to dissuade him. However, he also understood that the president was feeling frustrated and needed something to help him cope.
“President… Don’t you think… Mr. Norman seems very concerned about Madam Young…?”
As a competent and qualified assistant, Li An had been observing the other’s every move. In his opinion, Normanis’s behavior was unreasonable.
And as a bystander, he clearly sensed that Normanis seemed to have an unusual intimacy with Madam Young, just like… Madam had with the President…
Thinking of this, Li An was startled. Was his mind jumping to conclusions recently? How could this be possible? If it were true, wouldn't the President have offended his father-in-law, and moreover, taken his daughter away without even a word?
Forget it, what was he thinking? How could there be such a coincidence?
Xuan Mohan, standing to the side, paused his action of holding the cigarette. He turned to look at Li An, his eyes unfathomably deep.
He had been a bit emotional just now, and now that Li An mentioned it, he also calmed down and realized that Normanis did indeed show a different kind of concern for Qian Qian.
Most importantly… he was too familiar with the pampering in Normanis’s eyes, which was why he had completely lost control, even thinking…
As far as he knew, Normanis and his wife had a very good relationship and were once model couples praised by many. Even he, who never paid attention to gossip, had heard about it.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for him to have any designs on Qian Qian…
Thinking of a possibility, Xuan Mohan’s gaze became much deeper. Information constantly filtered through his mind.
Finally, he looked at the man and woman coming out not far away. Xuan Mohan's sharp gaze scanned them back and forth. In just two seconds, his thin lips parted, and his face was frighteningly calm.
“Get me detailed information on Normanis as soon as possible.”
“… Yes.” Although he didn't know what his president intended to do, he quickly agreed.
However, Li An still secretly glanced up at Xuan Mohan. Well, he seemed rational, wouldn't they start a fight?
As soon as Li An looked up, he met Xuan Mohan’s icy, bone-chilling gaze. The voice that came out made him shiver.
“Go now.”
Li An immediately lowered his head and replied respectfully, “Yes.”
The next second, he strode out. He clearly understood that the president seemed a bit eager to know something, otherwise, as usual, he would have made the arrangements.
After Li An left, Xuan Mohan extinguished the cigarette butt before Normanis and Jian You reached them, then glanced at Normanis with a blank expression.
If one considered Qian Qian’s former appearance, the two indeed… looked very similar, at least… ninety percent similar.
And this… could explain Normanis’s strange behavior today. They had no contact, nor any grudges, so Normanis’s targeting was without reason.
Jian You nervously walked to Xuan Mohan’s side, tugged his arm with her small hand, and said softly,
“I’m sorry, today it was me…”
Before she could finish speaking, the two big men around her made a move, but Xuan Mohan was quicker.
“It has nothing to do with you. I was too hasty. It’s good that you can think about it properly again.”
Jian You’s eyes widened slightly, looking at Xuan Mohan with disbelief. He didn't blame her? She had embarrassed him today, and most importantly, the occasion today…
Opposite them, Normanis was quite surprised. He didn't expect this man to be so adaptable. He didn't want his precious daughter to be wronged in front of others, even if it was her fault. Of course, in his eyes, his precious daughter was always right.
That’s why, when she was about to apologize just now, he was ready to interrupt, but this man spoke before him.
Xuan Mohan's words also satisfied him quite a bit. At least he was a gentleman, and his attitude towards women was not bad.
But this did not mean he had no objections to Xuan Mohan. He had suffered so much these past few days. If he had been a moment slower today, his precious daughter would have become someone else’s. How could he tolerate that…
“Jian You, let’s go, our car is over there…” completely ignoring the tall man behind them who could not be ignored.
Jian You sensed this inexplicable hostility even more. She didn’t understand what was going on. Before coming… Mr. hadn’t said this…
His relationship with Mr. Xuan seemed to be quite good, otherwise he wouldn’t have let her take care of the child.
Jian You didn’t understand. At this moment, a warm hand took hers and led her towards the large black car ahead. She looked back and saw Xuan Mohan following them silently with his long legs…
