He knew there was nothing between her and Gu Sheng a year ago, and in order to save the brat’s life, he could not change the situation now. But he still wanted to hear her explanation.
If she explained herself, he would believe her.
Although he could not control everything, and there were many things that he was helpless in, he would be more powerful and vigorous to fight for everything!
Nan Zhi looked at the man’s deep dark eyes that looked as if it was a magnet trying to suck her into their obsidian depths. Her breath tightened and she lowered her thick and long eyelashes. “There’s nothing much to explain. You live your life well now. Let’s not get tangled together anymore.”
What a nice way to put things!
Just like before, she was still able to go with the flow so easily!
It was only him, after seeing her, who was not able to control the suppressed feelings that were like a volcanic eruption in his body.
In her eyes, he must be like a joke!
His slender hand lifted her chin, their eyes meeting in the dark. After a while, his lips moved. “Okay, look me in the eyes now and tell me that you have no feelings for me.”
Nan Zhi met his dark eyes and saw that his eyes were reflecting how she looked with her nose slightly red and her heart clenched.
But, she hid her emotions very well and only gave him a cold smile. “When you were not married, I only liked you, but I didn’t love you. Not to mention now that you’re married, I, Nan Zhi, will never be interested in a married man.”
Mu Sihan stared at her for a few seconds, a depth and cloudiness in his dark eyes that she was not able to understand. “What about Gu Sheng?”
Thinking of Gu Sheng, Nan Zhi unconsciously showed a trace of sadness in her eyes.
Time passed by really fast. It had already been a year since Gu Sheng had died.
Mu Sihan did not miss the look in her eyes. Gu Sheng really had a special place in her heart.
Their gazes intertwined together in the darkness. Although they were very close to each other, they knew that they would never be able to go back to how they were before.
A chasm had already formed in between them, close to their feet was the bottomless abyss.
They could not go back anymore.
A crack appeared on Mu Sihan’s carved-like handsome face. He smiled coldly and nodded. “Go!”
He went back to the driver’s seat, refusing to look at her.
Nan Zhi’s heart tightened. She lowered her eyes and pushed open the door and got off without looking back.
Nan Zhi went to the gate when suddenly, a tall figure walked out from the darkness.
The man was wearing a thin white shirt with one side of it stuffed in the waist of his pants and the other side left out loosely. The first three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned and his well-defined chest could be seen.
Under his short black hair was a beautiful and devilish face that was extremely good-looking.
He must have had wine as there was a drunken look in his eyes. When he saw Nan Zhi, he walked over and pulled her into his arms.
“What the hell, I’ve hunted so many women and haven’t seen one that is as difficult as you!” He did not know when he had started to care about her, but it was not the kind that made him want to have sex with her. It was a strange yet intriguing feeling. He was not a very good man but he wanted to protect her every time she was sad.
But she had such a strong personality that if he came close, she would try to avoid it.
He had never seen a more hard-hearted woman!
Other women would fawn over him or scream in excitement when they saw him.
Nan Zhi was shocked by Qiao Yanze’s unexpected embrace. The faint scent of inebriation entered her nose and her body stiffened as she pushed him away. “Mr Qiao, you drank too much.”
Without waiting for him to say anything, she pulled open the gate and fled inside.
Qiao Yanze did not chase after her. He leaned against the gate, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his lips, wanting to lit it up when suddenly, a fist swung towards his handsome face.
The burning pain cleared Qiao Yanze’s dazed mind.
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, he looked at the man with the cold and dark face standing not far away.
Mu Sihan was wearing black shirt and pants. Under the dim lights his eyes were intimidating, his aura fierce like a demon from hell. The gaze looking at Qiao Yanze was murderous.
Qiao Yanze stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his lips and the sharp pain made his eyes turn cold.
He rubbed his fist and laughed wickedly. “Your Highness is just a puppet of the Crown Prince to show his power. Honestly, I don’t think I need to be too polite to you!”
Qiao Yanze had always been fearless, and he had gotten into much trouble when his father was still alive. It was only in recent years that his temper had stabilized a little when he gradually had to take control of a large family.
But when he thought of Nan Zhi, the anger in him was burning and he clenched his fist, and swung it towards Mu Sihan’s face.
Mu Sihan dodged, but Qiao Yanze was not to be trifled with. He kicked him in the stomach with one foot. The two men, who were almost the same height, threw punches here and gave a kick there, and started to fight in the district.
Qiao Yanze was a man who lived a comfortable life and had never suffered much since childhood. After several rounds, he was knocked down to the ground by Mu Sihan.
But he did not look defeated, and in turn gave a fearless smile. “What right do you have to bully Nan Zhi? Since you’ve chosen to return to the Ye family, you should live your life peacefully. Who would want her to have any relationship with you?”
Mu Sihan grabbed Qiao Yanze’s collar and pulled him up from the ground, his fist swinging to his face again. But before it touched him, Qiao Yanze’s next words made him freeze.
“Did you know she almost died?” Thinking of her most difficult period of time, Qiao Yanze’s eyes turned red.
Mu Sihan frowned and released Qiao Yanze’s collar. He stepped back and asked with a deep and hoarse voice, “What do you mean? What do you mean by she almost died?”
“After she was kidnapped by Gu Sheng, she was poisoned by the poison used by the SSS group to deal with betrayers. Her face, skin and voice would change dramatically with the poison entering her body. Do you think that when Xiaojie was having surgery, she did not go? She went and disguised herself as a cleaner, waiting in the corner to see her son.
“She did not get to see Xiaojie when his operation was successful, but heard of your marriage with Shangguan Wan. When you left in the helicopter, she chased and ran after it for so long. She was so emotional and it led to the poison spreading and making her age even more quickly.
“Although I don’t know how she was cured, I can see that she was really miserable during that period. She finally overcame it, so why are you still getting entangled with her? She doesn’t need you in her life. Are you able to give her the happiness she wants?”
Mu Sihan’s tall body was rooted to the spot.
Countless complex emotions flashed past his deep eyes.
A sharp pain spread from his chest.
