Those who originally wanted to see Nan Zhi make a fool of herself all shivered in fear. Their heads bowed down in trepidation at the thought of their careless words.
They did not know who Mu Sihan was exactly. However, they knew that he was someone not to be trifled, with since he could make the Zhou family be on the brink of bankruptcy within mere minutes.
President Lee thought about President Zhou’s pleas when he was thrown out. Sucking in a deep breath, be grit his teeth and stood up. He was the first. Taking the microphone he bowed deeply to Nan Zhi. “Miss Nan, I was blind to offend you. I’m sorry!”
After President Lee apologized, several old CEOs who had joined in the hooting stood up and apologized as well.
Nan Zhi stared at Mu Sihan’s wide and slender back as she stood behind him. She suddenly felt that he was like a tall and huge mountain. Biting her lips tightly, her bright eyes were covered in a thin layer of moisture.
Being protected by someone like this was something she had not felt in a very long time.
All along, she had thought that she was already strong enough to not need to be protected by anyone. When outsiders passed out their judgement and humiliated her, she let the words flow past her, not letting herself take them to heart. That was because she already long learnt to not be upset or angry by unimportant people.
From the moment she had chosen to give birth to Xiaojie, she had already prepared herself to face all sorts of derogatory remarks.
However, she did not expect Mu Sihan to run out and retain her dignity. She felt a tightening in her chest and an overwhelming warmth sprout from within.
Nan Zhi walked forward and tugged Mu Sihan’s sleeves lightly. Her voice was soft. “Thank you, Young Master Mu. However, the sponsors meeting hasn’t ended yet. Let’s not take it further after they apologize…”
Nan Zhi’s slender and fair fingertips touched his palm accidentally when she tugged his sleeve. A slight numbness and he held her small hands domineeringly before she could retract her hand.
In comparison to her small one, his hand was large and strong. One by one, he curled his fingers around her dainty hand.
Nan Zhi’s heart thumped. She tried to take back her hand. However, he was not willing to release his grip and resisted her in his usual domineering way.
Mu Sihan did not turn back to look at Nan Zhi. Throwing a glance at the three woman in front with his deep black eyes, his gaze darkened. “If I didn’t remember wrongly, the three of you were also a part of it.”
Nan Yao, Zhuang Jingjing and Yu Xiaoting immediately felt chills in the spine when his cold eyes landed on them. They were so scared that they visibly trembled in their seats.
Hearing his protective words, Nan Yao glared at Nan Zhi, who was guarded behind Mu Sihan, with anger and extreme unwillingness. How was it that Nan Zhi could be so lucky? Even without the support of the Nan family, she still managed to find a cold and domineering man who was willing to stand against all others and defend her in such a way.
No matter how hard she tried to console herself, she could no longer think of this man, who was able to make other companies bankrupt within minutes, as a boy toy who was financially supported by a rich woman.
Whoever this man was, his mere presence was one of a kind, he was a very tall, strong and domineering, while Nan Zhi was innocent and lovable behind him. The two of them actually looked very good together.
Nan Yao was bitter and was not going to give up without a fight!
Biting her lip, she fought to suppress the emotional waves within her as she said with a trembling voice and pale face, “Sir, don’t you mind Nan Zhi’s illegitimate son at all?”
There was absolutely no way that such a rich and influential man would be willing to foster another man’s son!
No man in this world would be so generous!
Mu Sihan glanced at Nan Yao with completely cold eyes. In the next second, Nan Zhi was pulled forward, tugged along by his forceful hands. Without warning, his handsome and perfect face that looked like he had been carved out from a priceless stone, leaned towards her, shadowing her completely while Nan Zhi still did not know what he was trying to do. The next second, cold, forceful lips pressed against her red ones in an overbearing manner.
Nan Zhi blanked out immediately. He… He was actually kissing her in front of everyone?
…
In number six private balcony.
The supple and handsome thin lips of a man wearing a gray mask curled up slightly in a cold manner when he saw the scene of the man and woman kissing on the stage.
