AMRWFA -Chapter 374 My Sister Still Isn’t Coming Home

【Could something have delayed her?】

【But no matter what, she shouldn’t be ignoring her phone!】

Ruan Yaoyao began to feel uneasy. She called Xu Nannan’s assistant.

The assistant did know who Xu Nannan had gone to meet, but she hadn’t expected that at this hour, Xu Nannan still hadn’t replied.

“That’s impossible. Their meeting was scheduled for the afternoon—it should’ve finished long ago. How about I give Sister Nannan a call?”

“I already tried. I can’t get through.”

“Aunt Xu, don’t worry. Maybe her line was just busy. I’ll try calling again,” the assistant reassured Ruan Yaoyao as she hung up and quickly dialed Xu Nannan’s number.

But unfortunately, just like Ruan Yaoyao, she couldn’t get through.

Now she was anxious too.

My dear ancestor, what are you doing?

No matter how busy you are, you can’t just ignore your phone!

…

At this moment, what was Xu Nannan doing?

She was sleeping.

Lying on a strange bed, sleeping very peacefully.

The room was dim, without a trace of light. Only a floor lamp beside the living room sofa remained on, its warm orange glow faintly illuminating Xu Nannan’s phone, which kept receiving calls.

Eventually, the battery died, and it shut off completely.

In the darkness, something that had extended halfway quietly retracted, blending back into the shadows.

“Mm…”

Xu Nannan let out a soft murmur and slowly opened her eyes, momentarily dazed.

Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing?

“You’re awake?”

A deep, magnetic voice sounded, making her even more confused.

Yet faintly, it seemed familiar.

Oh—wasn’t this the voice of the client she met today?

She had even praised how nice his voice was in her heart!

Xu Nannan reached out and turned on the bedside lamp. Sure enough, she saw Wenren Hanmo’s devastatingly handsome face—so perfect it seemed tailor-made for her taste.

Her heart began to pound wildly.

Mom, I’m in love again!

But recalling how she had almost ended up as someone’s “cannon-fodder wife No. N” before, Xu Nannan immediately became cautious.

“Where is this?”

“My home.”

Her expression changed slightly. “Why am I at your house?”

She quickly and discreetly checked her body. Thankfully, her clothes were still on—she was wearing the same outfit she had gone out in today.

That scared her to death. She thought she had…

“After you finished your coffee, you suddenly fainted. I didn’t know where else to take you, so I brought you home. How do you feel now? Any discomfort?”

He shouldn’t have said anything—because the moment he did, Xu Nannan realized her head was starting to hurt.

She had just let out a small hiss when she felt a pair of cool hands press gently against her temples, massaging them softly and attentively.

“Does your head hurt?” Wenren Hanmo said. “I used to get headaches often when I was busy with work. Massaging helps. Does this feel better?”

Xu Nannan had to admit—although his fingertips were slightly cold, the pressure was just right. It felt incredibly comfortable, and she couldn’t help closing her eyes.

“Mm… it feels good…”

What she didn’t see was the way Wenren Hanmo’s gaze darkened slightly in the shadows.

“Is that so? Then I’ll keep going.”

“Mm…”

“Looks like you really like it.”

“Mm…” Xu Nannan seemed to catch a faint scent. It was strange, yet inexplicably pleasant. She sniffed lightly a few times and said, “What perfume are you wearing? It smells so good.”

For a brief moment, Wenren Hanmo’s fingers paused, his throat moving slightly.

“Really? I can’t smell it myself. Do you like this scent?”

Something seemed to sway behind him, and the fragrance grew stronger.

“I quite like it. It suits you,” Xu Nannan said casually, not thinking much of it.

She just wondered whether it was custom-made or store-bought. She loved collecting perfumes, yet she had never come across this scent before.

A smile tugged at Wenren Hanmo’s lips, unable to hide his delight.

“Really? I thought you wouldn’t like it.”

“I’m not picky about perfumes. I like many scents. I’m just curious what brand yours is—I’ve never smelled it before. Where did you buy it? I want to get a bottle too.”

“This isn’t perfume… it’s my natural scent.”

What?!

Xu Nannan’s eyes snapped open—only to find his face suddenly very close to hers. Startled, she leaned back in a panic.

The thing behind Wenren Hanmo vanished instantly as well. Just as her head was about to hit something, a tentacle caught her—then, before she could react, it was replaced by his hand.

“Are you okay? Be careful!”

His hand supported her back. Through her thin top, Xu Nannan could feel the coolness of his fingers.

“Why were you so close to me? You scared me to death!”

She pressed her hand against his chest, flustered. Had he really not noticed how close they were? Even if he liked her, this was way too fast.

They had just met.

“I wanted to get closer to see your expression clearly,” Wenren Hanmo said seriously, seemingly oblivious. “That way, I can tell if my massage pressure is right.”

So it was for the massage?

Had she overreacted?

“Well, you still shouldn’t get that close…”

“Sorry! I didn’t know you weren’t used to it,” Wenren Hanmo said earnestly as he helped her sit properly. “I’ll be more careful next time. How about now—does your head still hurt? Want me to massage it a bit longer? I’m quite good at it.”

“No, I’m fine now.”

There was no way she’d let him continue—being that close, she had almost thought he was going to kiss her.

“Then… how about somewhere else? Your shoulders? Your back? My technique is really good—you should try it,” Wenren Hanmo insisted enthusiastically.

Xu Nannan refused. “No need. I don’t feel uncomfortable anywhere. What time is it? I should head back.”

She moved to get out of bed, but before her feet could touch the floor, Wenren Hanmo lifted her right back onto the bed.

Yes—literally lifted her.

“You’ll catch a chill from the floor. Don’t move—I’ll get you some slippers,” he said.

Xu Nannan: “…”

What the hell!

That scared me to death!

I thought he was about to do something!

It wasn’t like Wenren Hanmo did nothing either—after bringing the slippers, he even helped her put them on.

But the way he did it felt… strange.

Because he knelt on the ground.

Holding her bare foot in his hand, he slowly slipped it into the slipper.

Xu Nannan, who distinctly remembered wearing pantyhose earlier—but now they were completely gone: “…”

She couldn’t help but double-check her clothes again, just to make sure everything was still properly in place. Otherwise, why did she feel like she had been stripped bare?

That couldn’t be right.

It really couldn’t be.

It was just a pair of stockings missing.

Ahhhhh—!

Xu Nannan screamed internally.

How could it be “just” missing?

They weren’t ankle socks—

They were full pantyhose, from feet to waist!

So… who exactly had taken them off?

And had her clothes and skirt really been left untouched?

She…
