Mu Sihan was not wearing his usual black shirt and pants today. He was wearing a blue polo tee and khaki-colored leisure pants. Although he was dressed simply, he did not lack in elegance as well. He had a hand in one of his pockets, while his other hand was holding onto his phone and he took a call. His posture was refined and comfortable, arrogant and dignified all at once.
Shangguan Wan, who was beside him, was also wearing the same type of tee and leisure pants. She wore a pair of sunglasses on her pretty face. She waited until Mu Sihan was done with the call before she spoke, “We’re meeting A Country’s ambassador later…”
Before she could continue, she noticed that something was wrong with the man next to her.
Shangguan Wan looked in the direction he was looking at, only see Qiao Yanze walking into the lobby with his arm wrapped around the shoulders of a slender figure.
“Is that Qiao Yanze’s new girlfriend?” Although Shangguan Wan did not see how Nan Zhi looked like, she could tell that Nan Zhi was definitely a beauty from her back. If not, she would not have been chosen by the picky Qiao Yanze as well.
Mu Sihan narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the couple’s back with sharp eyes. His voice was extremely cold, “You think they look like a couple?”
Shangguan Wan raised an eyebrow, noting that Mu Sihan’s facial features were tensed and was exuding a cold aura. “Could it be that you know that girl in Qiao Yanze’s arms?”
Mu Sihan blinked, his expression so dark that water could start dripping from him. “I don’t know her.”
Shangguan Wan touched her nose, not continuing the conversation.
With his personality, would he have such a strong reaction if he did not know her?
She felt like she was going to turn into ice from his strong and cold aura by standing next to him.
…
Even though Nan Zhi did not turn her head, she could feel the cold eyes on the back of her head.
What were the chances?!
Qiao Yanze was also slightly depressed. It had been difficult to get Nan Zhi out for a golf session, yet they managed to meet the person he wanted to see the least.
Qiao Yanze glanced at the woman whose shoulders he had wrapped his arms around forcefully. “If you don’t want to see him, we can go to another place.”
Nan Zhi shook her head, “If I run away, it means that I can’t forget about it and if I can’t forget about it, it means that I will only become even more sad and distressed.”
Qiao Yanze laughed out loud. “I didn’t know that you were so brave!” For several girls, they would always choose to run away before they completely forgot about that person, because meeting would only increase the sadness and tear the healing wound open again.
He could tell that she still had feelings for Mu Sihan.
“Stop laughing at me.”
The two chatted for a while before Qiao Yanze passed an exercise outfit to Nan Zhi. The two of them entered their respective changing rooms.
Nan Zhi found the locker she was assigned to. She took off her clothes, wanting to change into the exercise outfit when a whiff of faint cigarette smell trailed towards her.
She thought that some lady was smoking in the changing room, and did not care too much. She then took off her jeans.
Steady but strong footsteps sounded from behind her. She froze, before she regained her senses and turned her head immediately.
Nan Zhi’s eyes constricted when she saw the man that was mere steps away from her.
“This is the female changing room.” She took a step forward, wanting to take the exercise shirt she had placed on the long bench. However, the man was faster than her.
Nan Zhi’s pretty face immediately turned red.
She was only wearing her underwear now. Her skin glistened under the white light, as the man’s eyes moved from her chest, to her slender waist, then down to her abdomen. His eyes were about to move lower when his vision turned black.
Nan Zhi had thrown the shirt she took off at the man’s head.
She hurriedly stepped forward and snatched over the exercise shirt he had taken.
She put on the shirt hurriedly. As Nan Zhi was wearing her pants, the man walked towards her.
Nan Zhi’s heart thumped a little under his strong gaze. She stumbled on her pants, almost falling down when the man caught her agilely by holding onto her slender waist.
When she found her balance, she pushed him. However, he kept his tight hold on her waist, staring at her with his black eyes, “You don’t plan to talk to me anymore?”
Nan Zhi looked straight into his sharp eyes. Her expression was completely tensed as she spoke coldly, “Mu Sihan, will you only stop after you’ve killed me?”
Mu Sihan furrowed his eyebrows. “Is it because of Shangguan Wan? I said…”
Nan Zhi did not want to hear his excuses. She did not want to be charmed by his sugar-coated words again.
She had her own principles she needed to follow.
Sucking in a deep breath, she forced a smile. “I’m planning to date Qiao Yanze.”
With that said, her slender waist was pinched by him, hard.
His jaw was tensed, his eyes sharp as his expression darkened. “Say it again?”
“Qiao Yanze is quite nice. I plan to be his girlfriend.”
Mu Sihan pursed his lips into a tight line. “Did you ignore all of the words I said to you in front of the bathroom that morning?”
She had not listened to a single word he had said that morning.
However, whether or not she listened to him was no longer important.
What was important was that she had already made her decision.
“Even though I know there is little hope, I will still take legal action to fight for Xiaojie’s custody.” After all, he already had a son with Shangguan Wan. She needed to raise her Xiaojie by herself.
Didn’t Xiaojie and her live nicely before they met Mu Sihan?
Hearing that she wanted to be Qiao Yanze’s girlfriend, and that she wanted to fight for custody over Xiaojie, Mu Sihan’s handsome expression had darkened completely.
“Are you being serious?” He had already explained it to her that morning. What else could he say if she still could not understand him?
Yes, she needed to be strong and was in constant danger if she followed him. How could he hold onto her if she was not willing to continue on with him?
Nan Zhi’s heart tightened as she stared at the man’s eyes that turned colder by the second. She had never been so panicked and helpless in that second!
She felt like if she said ‘yes’, he would really stop finding her.
However, wasn’t that the ending she wanted?
She closed her eyes, before she opened them again to stare into his deep, black eyes. She nodded firmly. “Yes.”
A crack appeared in Mu Sihan’s eyes when he heard her answer.
Good, very good.
He had let go of his arrogance and dignity to tell her everything. He thought that she would have understood…
He knew that she had her own principles to follow.
However, he had his too!
Since she could not understand him, he could only choose to let go.
He looked at her with serious red eyes. “In that case, I will stop finding you in the future. You can be together with anyone you want, and it will be none of my business. As for Xiaojie, if you have the capability, feel free to take legal action. I only have one son, I will not let go of him regardless of who tries to come and take him away from me!”
Before Nan Zhi could say anything, the aloof man turned around and left the changing room with a few swift strides.
He pulled open the door to the changing room. His cold expression did not change at all when he saw Qiao Yanze standing on the opposite side. Before Qiao Yanze could rush over, he left with an extremely cold expression.
