Chapter 496: Thick Jealousy

Wen Ruan stared at the man who was walking towards her.

It had been half a year since she last saw him up close. He had really changed a lot. His well-defined features were hidden in the thin light, and he was cold and stern. His dark, narrow eyes were as cold as ice, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a line, like a sharp blade without any warmth.

“How is he?”

He stopped two steps away from her.

Wen Ruan’s lips moved. She wanted to say something, but her throat seemed to be choked by something. She was so excited that she could not say a word for a long time.

Seeing that she was staring at him without replying, his eyes turned cold. He strode into the house.

The staff’s injured leg had been bandaged by Wen Ruan and she had regained consciousness.

Wen Ruan turned around in a daze and looked at the man who was talking to the staff.

He spoke even less than before. After simply asking about the employee’s physical condition, he turned around and walked out.

When he passed by Wen Ruan, he did not stop for even a moment and strode away with a calm expression.

Wen Ruan’s heart tightened.

However, she stomped her foot in frustration when she thought about how she had lost control of herself just now.

Everything was clearly going according to her plan. Why was she acting so abnormal the moment she saw him?

Oh no, he couldn’t have mistaken her for a love-struck girl, right?

Not long after Huo Hannian left, Mo Zhan came over.

When he found out that Wen Ruan had saved her life, he thanked her several times.

“Miss Wen, it’s all thanks to you today. Shall we have dinner together later?”

Since Mo Zhan had invited her to dinner, she should be able to meet Huo Hannian. Wen Ruan nodded happily and agreed.

After treating the worker’s wound, Wen Ruan frowned as her black robe was stained with blood and smelled fishy.

There wasn’t a direct shower here, so she had to go to Oasis to get some water and take a bath in the simple shower room. Wen Ruan asked Liu Xuan to bring her two buckets of water and went to the shower room to wash up.

When she returned to her room, she took out her clothes from her bag and changed into them.

Mo Zhan and Huo Hannian didn’t set up a small restaurant by themselves. They ate together with the employees.

Mo Zhan informed Liu Xuan to bring Wen Ruan to the canteen.

“That Miss Wen, the herbal tea she brewed, not to mention drinking it makes your throat feel much better. After dinner, I’ll bring you a cup.”Mo Zhan said to Huo Hannian.

Huo Hannian frowned slightly.”Why are you letting a woman stay in the camp?””

“I made a deal with her. She gave me the formula for the herbal tea, and I let her and her bodyguard stay here for a night.”

Mo Zhan picked up his wine glass and drank a mouthful of wine. He smiled wickedly and said,” She sounds like a gentle and weak girl, but she dares to come to the desert to take an adventure and knows medicine. I’m a little curious about her!””

Huo Hannian glanced at Mo Zhan.” Tell her to leave tomorrow morning.””

Mo Zhan said,” The princess is still worried about you, so she asked me to help you see if any members of the opposite sex came close to you. I think you should freeze them to death first!””

Huo Hannian did not say anything else.

Mo Zhan played with the wine glass in his hand. When he heard the movement at the door, he lazily raised his eyelids.

Wen Ruan and Liu Xuan walked over one after the other.

Wen Ruan had changed out of her long black robe. She was wearing a mint green jacket, dark blue jeans, and black high boots that wrapped around her slender calves.
