Nan Zhi stared at the man in front of her with reddened eyes, her expression guarded and alert. At this moment, she looked like a hedgehog with its hackles raised, ready for battle.
No matter how brave and strong she was, she was only a 22 year old girl. She had no experience in love, her relationship with Bo Shaoxiu had ended in betrayal and hurt after just one month.
When she was 13 or 14 years old, she had fallen in love with Brother Gu Sheng old, because he had saved her. He was her hero, and had always treated her kindly. It was inevitable.
Although there were many men who pursued her over the years, she had limited contact with them. She did not know what to do when she met such a domineering and arrogant man like Mu Sihan.
This man, who had taken Xiaojie to his manor, bought the hospital Xiaojie was undergoing treatment at, and Junyuan was also at his bidding. She had no choice and was forced to sign that one-year contract with him.
Although she knew he had bipolar disorder and people with this illness could not control their temper, there was nothing she could do. The only that possible was to let him have his way and try not to provoke him.
But she was also a person with her own principles and dignity. In front of him, she was like a string puppet, he could kiss and touch her whenever he felt like it. Then, what was she?
The more Nan Zhi thought about it, the more uncomfortable she was. Her eyes were wide open and blurred with angry, unshed tears.
The tears she struggled to hold back made her even more upset. She seldom cried and had never cried in front of another man.
Because she knew that tears were the most useless thing.
Why did she have to cry now?
But at this moment, she could not control her emotions and she felt like she was going to collapse, hot tears rolling down her face.
Mu Sihan had never seen Nan Zhi cry before, and looking at how her tears were falling like a line of broken pearls, he was at a loss.
Damn it, why did she cry?
Was it that uncomfortable for him to kiss her?
Looking at her tears, his breath tightened. “Hold back your tears, don’t cry.”
Nan Zhi looked at him with her eyes full of tears. “Mu Sihan, why do you bully people so much? It’s my business if I want to cry, why are you not even letting me cry?”
Mu Sihan frowned and felt an empty tightness in his chest.He did not want to see her cry. Reaching out his long arm, he pulled her into his embrace.
He pressed his fingers hard on the back of her head, fearing that if he was not careful, she would run away from him.
Nan Zhi could feel his stiffness and uneasiness.
She struggled violently in his arms. “Let go of me!”
He acted like he never heard her.
Nan Zhi was being pressed tightly by him and she could not speak and breathe. She could not break away from his embrace either, so she opened her mouth and bit him hard on the chest.
“F*ck, where are you biting?!” The sensitive part of his chest was bitten by her, becoming painful and numb. There was an unknown fire burning in his lower abdomen.
Nan Zhi could finally raise her head to breathe. Her face was an angry flushed red from the lack of air. She had almost suffocated in this bad tempered man’s chest.
He raised his hand and caressed her reddened face, his finger gently rubbing the corner of her lip. “Okay, let’s stop quarelling. I was too rash tonight.”
Nan Zhi’s eyes widened and looked at the man in disbelief.
How could such an arrogant man like him be willing to admit his mistake???
Mu Sihan was feeling uncomfortable under Nan Zhi’s stare. His glared at her and said, “But you’re in the wrong too. Why didn’t you call me when something had happened? There was no messages or anything. Did you know how anxious I was when I couldn’t get through your phone and couldn’t find you?”
Nan Zhi replied sullenly, “I did call you but it rang twice, before you hung up on me. I thought you were busy and I was in a rush to get back to the countryside, so I didn’t contact you again.”
