MFAW Chapter 25 - Who Would Dare Order her?

The Nan family occupied a large area, and they are also an influential family in Ningzhou. Normally, ordinary business partners would not have the chance to walk in.

Mu Nuanxi had been to the Nan family twice. One time, it was Nan Sheng's fifteenth birthday, and the other time, it was Master Nan who had invited the Mu family over for dinner.

However, it had already been six years since Old Master Nan passed away. After his death, the relationship between the two families had never been close to each other and had gradually drifted further and further away.

The two families are in a different fields, and business cooperation is naturally almost zero.

After Mu Nuanxi walked out of Nan Pei's courtyard, she almost reached the restricted area. Standing in front of the circular arch, she looked up at the different scenery behind her.

When her pair of nude high heels were about to cross the threshold, a female voice came from behind her.

"Miss Mu."

Mu Nuanxi retracted her feet and looked back at the woman who was passing by.

The woman in front of her looked to be fifty years old. She was well-dressed and wore a pair of round pearl earrings.

Mu Nuanxi remembered that she was the housekeeper of the Nan family and the old lady who took care of Nan Sheng, Mother He.

At this thought, she greeted her respectfully, "Hello."

"Are you lost? I'll have someone take you back to the young miss' place." Mother He opened her mouth to speak.

As the housekeeper of the Nan family, she naturally knew when Mu Nuanxi entered.

"I came out to get some air. I accidentally went far. I'm sorry." Mu Nuanxi quickly apologized.

With a slight nod, Mother He arranged for the servants to send her back to Nan Pei's courtyard.

"Mother He." Nan Sheng came out from the arch and called out.

The cold-faced woman's expression softened when she saw Nan Sheng. "Eldest Young Master."

"I think it's late, too. Go and prepare dinner. Let them eat at home today."

The originally bright sky had already begun to darken so all the lights installed in Nan Residence began to light up gradually.

Mu Nuanxi saw Nan Sheng and is naturally happy, but upon looking around, she did not see Mu Wen Li.

She thought about it and asked in a more euphemistic tone, "Brother Sheng, where's Li Li?"

"I've asked her to go play on her own. Someone will bring her over for dinner later." Nan Sheng could only say so.

Mu Nuanxi was taken aback when she heard that. She asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for Li Li? You even called her out of Nan Pei's courtyard alone."

Some words are not needed to be asked to be clear, Mu Nuanxi saw during childhood how much Nan Sheng likes that pink carved jade doll-like baby.

Even if they only had a few days of play together when they were young, after Wen Li got lost, Nan Sheng looked for her so badly.

Even Elder Nan said it was a pity at that time. It was the first time he had seen Nan Sheng liked a girl that way. He hadn't even met her before, so how could she have lost to her?

The feeling of youth was even more difficult to forget than the hazy feeling of love.

The two of them walked towards the dining room side by side. The street lamps on both sides were already on. The air around the Nan family was better at night.

"Sister Nan Pei specifically invited us over. I know she wants to bring Li Li here alone." Mu Nuanxi mumbled.

"What do you want to say?" Nan Sheng made a direct point.

He never liked to beat around the bush, especially when he had no way of solving the problem.

Mu Nuanxi stopped and said with a serious expression. "Sister Pei said that you were looking for Li Li because you wanted her to help you. Li Li has just returned, so she doesn't really understand many things. If you need anything, just let me know."

"I asked her to help?" Nan Sheng laughed. "Who would dare to order her?"

Nan Sheng's words sounded like he was respectful and distant, Mu Nuanxi naturally heard it.

However, she didn't think too far. She thought of Wen Li's personality and his tone.

"Did Li Li make you angry?"

With Wen Li's temperament, she had probably angered Nan Sheng. Usually, she wouldn't let people go. Even if she went to the Nan family, she wouldn't care.

"Why do you think so?" Nan Sheng felt funny.

However, with Wen Li's personality, if she really started to stir things up, it would really infuriate Fu Yuxiu.

"I know that Sister Nan Pei is thinking of letting Li Li be her finale model." Mu Nuanxi lowered her head and said. "I also know that the male model she's interested in is you."

Nan Sheng has heard this from Nan Pei too many times.

However, he did not agree. Want him to model for Nan Pei, might as well kill him with a sword.

"Sister Pei seems to like Li Li very much. If you can't convince Li Li, I can try." Mu Nuanxi put forward her thoughts.

Nan Sheng raised his eyebrows and looked at her with interest." How do you plan to persuade her?"

Hearing his question, Mu Nuanxi lowered her head in silence.

With Wen Li's temperament, there were probably very few things she didn't want to do.

More importantly, that person is Fu Yuxiu's person now. If that person knew that he was helping Nan Pei to get Wen Li to show her face.

I guess they'll find his body in a ditch.

Seeing her like this, Nan Sheng sighed. Mu Nuanxi always had such a personality since she was young, even though they hadn't had much contact.

However, he also knew that this young lady's temper was usually soft and sticky. She wouldn't be at loggerheads with others.

"This is Nan Pei's business. It's her business that she likes her. Whether or not she can convince her depends on her ability. No need to worry about her."

Nan Sheng's words seemed to be an explanation as if to persuade her.

Mu Nuanxi bowed her head, and the undercurrent at the bottom of her eyes surged.

Perhaps because of the guests, the Nan family's dinner was exceptionally sumptuous. Mother He ordered the servants to arrange the table in an orderly manner.

There were always a lot of rules when people ate, especially when the old man was still there.

The dining hall where Nan family eats changes depending on the season. It is in the pavilion where the wind blows on all sides when it is hot, and it is moved to the indoor restaurant when it is cold.

The table was now in the pavilion, and the servants were carefully wiping the plates and chopsticks.

Seeing the two of them come over, Mother He took a step forward.

"Eldest Young Master, can we have dinner now?"

Nan Sheng looked around, did not see Nan Pei and Li Mengluo coming.

"Young Miss is already on her way here." Mother He said.

Nan Sheng sat down on his seat. "Serve the dishes."

Mother He went back and brought the servants to prepare the dishes.

Mu Nuanxi pulled the chair aside and sat down. "Where's Uncle Nan? Isn't he home?"

"Yes, but he'll come soon." Nan Sheng held his chin and said.

"Then..." Mu Nuanxi paused for a moment, as if she had made up her mind. "Then, what about your brother?"

Everyone knew that besides Nansheng and Nanpei, the Nan family also had a foster son who was brought back many years ago.

However, Mu Nuanxi had come to the Nan family several times and had never seen the adopted son. A picture of him was publicized.

But the picture hadn't hung up for two hours before it was removed by the Nan family.

Even Mu Nuanxi was curious.

Nan Sheng looked at her with a meaningful smile." What, you want to see him?"

Mu Nuanxi shook her head. "I'm just curious."

If she had come so many times and still hadn't touched the secrets of the Nan family, wouldn't she be curious?

He must be the same as her, that person must be someone who makes Nan Sheng unhappy.
