Nan Zhi looked at Mu Sihan. Her bright almond-shaped eyes found his deep black ones.
There were a few seconds of dead silence.
The frozen silence was only broken by Mu Sihan’s soft laughter. He played with the black gun as he looked at Nan Zhi in a careless manner. “Why wouldn’t I dare? Isn’t she just a woman? There’s nothing much to care about.”
Nan Zhi pursed her pink lips tightly. Her breathing started to lose its rhythm, despite how calm she appeared.
She did not believe Mu Sihan would really shoot her. However, she was still hurt by his heartless words.
It was very clear how possessive he was when it came to her.
She thought that he would at least be a little sincere when it came to her.
She did not make any preparations before she came to get the antidote with him, as she had trusted that he would settle everything. Because of this blind faith, she did not think about any countermeasures at all.
Just when she was starting to depend on him, it turned out he was the one to give her a deadly blow instead.
Unwillingly, Nan Zhi’s eyes started to tear up.
She clenched her teeth down tightly as her fingertips sunk into her palms. They were pressed so hard it was about to break her skin.
Xiao Yi observed Mu Sihan without a word. It was either he was too good at acting, or that he really did not care about this woman.
However, Ye Qianqian had said that Mu Sihan cared a lot for this woman, and even allowed her to stay in the manor…
Could it be that Ye Qianqian misunderstood?
“Young Master Mu, you sure are courageous.” Xiao Yi clapped once more. “If that’s the case, let’s begin.” Xiao Yi looked at Nan Zhi, who was next to him, as he said so. “Beauty, we’ll have to see how accurate Young Master Mu’s shooting is, to know if you will walk out of here alive tonight.”
Nan Zhi was a very decisive and courageous person. She was like a clear mirror that knew what type of decision to make in a situation.
If she wanted to save Gu Sheng, she did not have an option to saying a ‘no’.
She still had to respect and follow the rules of the bet made by Xiao Yi, no matter how scared and angry she was.
Closing her eyes, her eyelashes fluttered as she took a deep breath. She then looked straight into Mu Sihan’s deep black eyes. “Alright, I agree.”
She was a smart and straightforward woman.
It was a refreshing change to see a woman who was courageous and brave, rather than those women that kept crying.
Nan Zhi took a rose and walked towards the stage. The other woman that Xiao Yi chose also walked up.
Light music started to play as Xiao Yi got the two woman to start dancing.
Mu Sihan stood from the chair in a speed that was not too fast or slow. He turned on the noise canceler on the gun as gave a lazy smirk.
Nan Zhi’s heart froze at the sight of his careless behavior.
“Young Master Mu, if you kill me tonight, please let Xiaojie be taken cared for by Brother Gu Sheng.”
Mu Sihan narrowed his deep black orbs slightly. His voice was slightly cold and had a tinge of anger. “Don’t you have any other last words?”
Nan Zhi was speechless.
Xiao Yi gestured for someone to come and cover Mu Sihan’s eyes.
Nan Zhi felt like she had a foot in the doorway to hell, the moment she saw Mu Sihan’s eyes being covered.
She was done for.
With a deep breath, she closed her eyes as an overwhelming hopelessness filled her heart.
Ye Qianqian was hiding in the room inside. She was gloating as she watched the scene occurring in the ballroom.
Nan Zhi would probably die by Mu Sihan’s hands tonight, right?
What a laugh. She knew Mu Sihan would not like Nan Zhi for too long. It had only been such a short time and she was already worthless to him.
The referee shouted, “The competition begins in three, two, one…”
A loud bang sounded in the ballroom.
Nan Zhi was so shocked that she was nailed to the spot.
This bet was terrifying.
Her mind blanked for a few seconds. Nan Zhi only realized then that she did not feel any pain. Did that mean that she was still alive?
Nan Zhi opened her eyes hurriedly and looked at the rose in her mouth.
At the sight of the perfectly unharmed flower, she looked at the woman next to her. The petals of the flower that she had in her mouth had fallen completely, petals fluttering to the ground like red silk.
