When An Nanxu left, she was angry and angry.
Chen Shan looked at her back, then turned to Ning Dai and carefully apologized.
“Young Madam, I didn’t follow Young Master closely, so I let her get close.”
“It’s okay.”
Ning Dai didn’t care at all. She waved her hand and pushed Mo Chen into the bedroom.
This matter had nothing to do with Chen Shan.
He was just an assistant. If Mo Chen ordered him to leave, he wouldn’t dare to follow him forcefully. However, Mo Chen had drunk a lot of alcohol. She didn’t know if it was An Nanxu who made him drink it or if he wanted to drink it himself. She could only wait until he woke up before asking him.
Mo Chen was very drunk. When Ning Dai placed him on the bed, he was already asleep.
“Second Brother, lift your feet.”
Ning Dai called out softly, asking him to lift his feet and help him take off his shoes.
The shoes fell to the ground. Mo Chen seemed to have been woken up. He opened his eyes and looked at her. The whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
His gaze was deep and sharp. Ning Dai forced out a smile.
“Second Brother, why are you looking at me like that?”
“Don’t go.”
Mo Chen held her hand tightly. He used a lot of strength with his fingers, pinching her until she felt a little pain.
“You’re not allowed to go. Are you going to dance again?”
“No.”
Ning Dai didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She patted the back of his hand to comfort him. “Second Brother, you’re hurting me.”
“Oh.”
Mo Chen let go of his hand in a daze. He pressed his hot cheek against her palm and rubbed it. He whimpered softly like a puppy that had finally found its master.
Ning Dai patiently persuaded him to lie down with him in her arms.
“Be good, go to sleep first.”
Perhaps it was because Ning Dai’s voice carried a calming magic, Mo Chen finally closed his eyes peacefully.
Ning Dai let out a sigh of relief and sat down beside him. Her fingers gently caressed his face.
Mo Chen’s facial features were handsome and striking, like the contours of God’s hand. His lines were hard, and only when he was asleep did he have an indescribable gentleness.
His thin lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were tightly knitted together, almost forming a crease.
Even in his drunken dreams, was there anything that made him unhappy? Was it because of An Nanxu?
Ning Dai suddenly clapped her hands heavily. “How could I have forgotten about her?”
She lay down beside Mo Chen, recalling An Nanxu’s every move just now.
An Nanxu had specially sent Mo Chen back in order to provoke her, to make her lose her sense of propriety, and to sow discord between the two of them. But when she thought about the things that An Nanxu had done previously, she did not have any brains at all.
How could she suddenly have such scheming thoughts? Was there an expert guiding her from behind?
An Nanyin!
When Ning Dai thought of this, she immediately took out her phone and sent a text message to Benjamin.
“Help me check if An Nanyin is back in the country.”
Among the siblings of the An family, An Nanyin was the most scheming. The An family also wanted him to take over. As for An Nanxu, she was the spoiled young lady.
Only An Nanyin would spend so much effort to give An Nanxu advice.
“Got it.”
After receiving Benjamin’s reply, Ning Dai thought about it and sent him another message.
“Hurry up and find the Seven-Leafed Calamus’ seeds. This is the most important thing. Don’t neglect it.”
She could no longer count on the Seven-Leafed Calamus in Linhai. With An Nanxu around, even if her people could enter Linhai, they would have to sneak in secretly and not bring out much. However, Mo Chen’s leg needed a large amount, and she could not delay the illness any longer.
Thinking of this, Ning Dai sighed with a headache.
After much consideration, she still tried to find the seeds and cultivate the herbs quickly. She wouldn’t have to worry about the quantity of the herbs, so she could use them without worry.
