The Substitute Groom Chases His Wife - Chapter 294

Chapter 294: Blocking Her Way
An Nuan watched as Lin Xiao Feng walked towards the buffet table and started to pick a few snacks they could eat. Subconsciously, her lips tilted to a smile.

Being pampered like a princess felt really good.

An Nuan shifted her eyes as she heard footsteps approaching. Her eyes lit up when she recognized Madam Mu walking over. “Madam Mu,” An Nuan greeted the woman.

Madam Mu was someone that the mayor’s wife had introduced her to.

An Nuan had met her a few times at the events she attended and she had always treated her well.

“Why are you alone?” Madam Mu asked. “Your husband?”

An Nuan glanced at the buffet table. “He went to check on the food.”

Madam Mu smiled. She sat beside An Nuan and started chatting with her until Lin Xiao Feng returned with a plate of snacks.

“Madam Mu, hello.” Lin Xiao Feng greeted the woman.

The older woman glanced at the food on Lin Xiao Feng’s plate. Her expression turned gentler as she figured that Lin Xiao Feng was getting the food for his wife.

“I saw your wife waiting for you here and decided to chat with her for a bit,” Madam Mu said.

“Madam, you can sit here and chat with my wife. I wouldn’t mind,” Lin Xiao Feng said.

Madam Mu alternated her eyes between An Nuan and Lin Xiao Feng. Then, a chuckle escaped her lips. “It’s alright. I don’t plan to stay for too long. I don’t wish to disturb you two.”

It was well-known in their circle that the Lin couple’s relationship was very good.

Each time Lin Xiao Feng took his wife to an event with him, he ensured that his wife was close by. A while ago, someone joked that Lin Xiao Feng was afraid someone would kidnap his wife.

Madam Mu looked at An Nuan again. “Actually, I wanted to invite you to join me and everyone else to visit an orphanage.” The smile on her face widened when she noticed that An Nuan looked interested. “You remember the last charity dinner we had before. Last time, we gathered some money for them. This time, the ladies planned to visit the orphanage and look at the children. What do you think?”

An Nuan nodded. “Madam Mu, I definitely want to go.” She was curious about the orphanage that they had donated their money to. Now that Madam Mu was inviting her to visit the place, An Nuan felt that she should go and take a look.

“Then, I will text you the time and place,” Madam Mu said.

After saying a few more words, Madam Mu left the Lin couple alone.

“You’re interested in visiting the orphanage?” Lin Xiao Feng asked.

“I am curious,” An Nuan said. “Last time, the ladies collected a lot of money for the children. Unfortunately, I did not get to see the children.”

She donated some money to the orphanage. Naturally, she wanted to know about the children’s living conditions.

Lin Xiao Feng nodded. “I know about the orphanage that the mayor’s wife often donated her money to. That place is well managed.”

The couple chatted about the orphanage for a bit as Lin Xiao Feng had visited the place a few times.

Lin Xiao Feng did not forget to feed his wife with some snacks to pad her stomach.

The food prepared for the event was mostly light as everyone would be busy socializing. It will be a while before they can have a proper meal.

After accompanying An Nuan for a while, Lin Xiao Feng left to socialize with a few people.

A while ago, the mayor had mentioned about promoting him.

Because of that, there were a lot of people who wanted to get to Lin Xiao Feng’s side. He too needed to meet with some people to win their support.

Seeing that An Nuan was tired after standing for too long, Lin Xiao Feng decided to let her sit while he went around the place. Moreover, Lin Xiao Feng was worried that An Nuan would be bored with their discussion.

An Nuan leaned on her seat while watching her husband talking with a group of men.

Lin Xiao Feng looked so serious but An Nuan felt that he was especially good-looking like this.

After a while, An Nuan felt the urge to visit the restroom.

Seeing that Lin Xiao Feng was in a deep conversation with the others, An Nuan decided to text him that she would be going away for a while.

From where she was seated, An Nuan watched Lin Xiao Feng fished out his phone from his pocket.

He glanced at his phone before looking at her.

An Nuan gestured with her hand that she would stop by the restroom. Seeing Lin Xiao Feng nod, An Nuan stood up and walked out of the hall.

The chatting voices gradually disappeared as An Nuan closed the door behind her.

She followed the signboard and headed to the restroom.

Not wanting Lin Xiao Feng to worry, An Nuan did not dare to dilly-dally.

She washed her hands and was about to leave the restroom when someone pushed the door from the outside.

An Nuan stepped aside, wanting to give way for the other person to enter.

However, her expression shifted when she saw the familiar face standing in front of her.

This was a face that An Nuan would not expect would see at the event.

“Mrs. Lin.” Secretary Shi called.

An Nuan nodded. “Secretary Shi.” She wanted to leave but soon realized that the secretary was blocking her way.

Her brow furrowed, wondering what Secretary Shi wanted from her. Her instinct was telling her that Secretary Shi was deliberately waiting for her. Then… Secretary Shi’s does not have a good intention.

An Nuan straightened up as she faced the secretary. She flashed Secretary Shi a smile and pretended as if she did not understand the secretary’s intention. “Excuse me.”

Secretary Shi stood still.

The light in An Nuan’s eyes darkened as she saw this situation. “Secretary Shi. Is there something I can do to help you?”
