He seemed to be looking in her direction.
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and refused to look back.
Just from the reflection, she could see he was dressed very formally today. He must have came over from an important occasion, judging from the hand-tailored white shirt with a tie, meticulous black suit, and the pocket square folded into a triangle on his left chest. It was elegant and noble.
His gaze was still on her, just like his usual personality, arrogant and sharp with a strong aura. It was full of oppression and difficult for people to look at directly.
Nan Zhi’s eyes flickered. She had finally calmed herself, but now she was getting confused again.
Why am I afraid to see him?
If it was not for Xiao Yi, she could have died on that island. No thanks to him.
From the moment he had abandoned her, it was impossible for her to have anything to do with him.
“Han, why are you walking so fast? You don’t have any sympathy for women. I’m wearing ten-inch heels!” The pleasant voice of a woman tinkled in from not too far away. Nan Zhi saw from the reflection a tall woman wearing a long red dress, holding onto Mu Sihan’s arm in an intimate manner.
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and unconsciously, the fingers hooked under the table tightened.
“Han, what are you looking at? I’m so hungry, where’s the table you booked?” The woman held onto Mu Sihan’s arm and raised her exquisite and beautiful face, acting every part the coquettish female fatale.
When they passed Nan Zhi’s table, Nan Zhi looked at the woman’s appearance from the corner of her eyes.
The unknown woman appeared to be of mixed-blood, her skin was fair, her facial features exquisite and beautiful and had a pair of cat-like, beautiful blue eyes. She was stunning.
Standing beside Mu Sihan, they were a good-looking pair and looked very compatible.
The table Mu Sihan booked was two tables away from Nan Zhi. If he looked up, he could see her delicate back.
After he sat down, he let the woman opposite him order and looked over in Nan Zhi’s direction again.
Even without turning her head, his gaze was so heated that Nan Zhi could feel that he was looking at her.
Fortunately, Gu Sheng and Xiaojie came back from the washroom not long after.
Xiaojie sat beside Nan Zhi and did not notice Mu Sihan, but Gu Sheng did and gave Mu Sihan a mild nod of acknowledgement. It was very different from how they were at loggerheads with each other at the town hospital.
Mu Sihan saw the three of them sitting together, the mother and son duo did not seem to reject that man at all. Clenching his jaw, his dark eyes were sharp shards of black steel.
Amy, the woman opposite Mu Sihan saw that he was spacing out and followed his gaze to Nan Zhi’s table.
“Wow, that man is so handsome and looks quite young. What a young stud! And the woman and child opposite him, god. Are they his wife and son?”
“Shut up!” Mu Sihan’s said coldly, his face dark.
Amy pouted her red lips and her slender finger pointed at Mu Sihan in aggravation. “Why are you so fierce to me? If you hadn’t asked me to come here, I would have already flown to Maldives for my holiday!”
…
After dinner, Nan Zhi seemed to have thought of something. Shuffling through her bag, she took out the button she had kept for nine years, pushing it in front of Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng picked up the button to look at it. Cocking his head to one side, he seemed puzzled, not quite understanding Nan Zhi’s meaning. He smiled gently and asked, “Why did you give me a button?”
Originally, Nan Zhi wanted to give Gu Sheng this lucky button, hoping that everything would go smoothly for him. But after seeing his confusion, her eyebrows twitched.
Wasn’t this Brother Gu Sheng’s button?
Did he forget that this was the button she had accidentally pulled from his shirt when he saved her nine years ago?
