Of course Nan Zhi understood his words.
He said that he did not get engaged to Xue’er.
But… why?
While she was zoned out, the man turned her slender figure and picked her up onto the kitchen counter.
Nan Zhi placed her hands on his chest on instinct, not letting him get too close to her.
The sunlight shone into the room through the glass windows and landed on the woman’s fair, smooth skin. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow on her face.
The man’s well-defined facial features were reflected in her bright almond-shaped eyes.
Before she could ask any questions, the man’s refreshing breath invaded her senses once more. His warm kiss landed on her cheek, then on her thin ears.
He licked her ears lightly, but the scorching hot, wet sensation made her feel like she had been set on fire.
She stretched her hand out and punched him lightly in embarrassment.
However, he continued to hug her slender waist tightly, locking her within his arms like a metal vice.
“Mu Sihan, I’ll get angry if you continue being like this.”
His eyes were a dark and deep well of overwhelming emotion and she didn’t know where to look. Caressing her chin with his calloused fingers, he lifted her head to face him. “Is it illegal to get intimate with my woman?”
“Who is your woman? I don’t want to get back together with you, even if you didn’t get engaged to Xue’er.”
The man pursed his lips tightly, as anger appeared in his black eyes, his jaw tensing up.
“Look into my eyes and say that again.”
Nan Zhi stared into his deep and attracting eyes, as she furrowed her eyebrows, “Although I don’t know why you didn’t end up getting engaged to Xue’er, but I’d been feeling really miserable recently, and I’d finally started feeling better…”
He glared at her, “You don’t like me anymore?”
Her lips moved, “I…”
The man’s handsome face was magnified in front of her with just one word out of her lips. It was followed by his scorching hot kiss.
Nan Zhi moaned in pain from his sudden action. Her petite hand was hitting at his shoulders, as she struggled against him instinctively.
The man did not planned to let go of her at all. He pushed her jaws open, as his tongue ravished every part of her mouth. He sucked and bit her lip, before his tongue intertwined with hers, sucking, then moving away teasingly, leaving her breathless.
Nan Zhi’s tensed nerves felt like a pulled bow, with its strings taut and ready to snap at any time.
He sucked on her tongue overbearingly, and her face blushed at the occasional scandalous sounds they produced.
She found herself leaning backwards from his action, and her fingers accidentally touched the scorching hot pot. She immediately hissed in pain.
Mu Sihan hurriedly let go out her, and he sucked onto her finger without any thought after seeing her scalded red finger.
The wet and warm feeling on Nan Zhi’s finger made her feel like she was going to explode.
Her breathing stopped.
She felt like she had been electrocuted all over.
Her eyelashes fluttered as he sucked onto her injured finger. She was about to pull her hand back when An Feng’s shocked voice trailed over, “You two… what are you doing?”
Nan Zhi retracted her hand in distraught.
An Feng walked into the kitchen and called Nan Zhi out with a strange expression.
The mother and daughter pair walked to the garden at the back.
“Zhizhi, Mr. Mu and you… his engagement affairs have been a hot topic for the past few days, and you’re acting like this with him now. Are you…”
Nan Zhi knew that her mother disliked third parties in relationships. She hurriedly clarified, “Mom, he said that he didn’t get engaged. My mind’s a mess as well.”
An Feng was about to ask Nan Zhi about what happened clearly, when the young girl next door who was playing with Xiaojie suddenly entered their conversation, “Are you talking about that super handsome, very cool uncle? I watched the live-stream that day, he was confessing to another woman during his engagement party! It was soooo romantic!”
Xiaojie heard it and furrowed his eyebrows. “Bad Daddy confessed to another woman?”
“What?!”
“What?!”
An Feng and the young girl exclaimed at the same time, though the young girl was the first to react. “Xiaojie, Xiaojie, the handsome uncle is your Daddy? Ah… I’ve decided to not like you anymore, I want to marry your Daddy!”
The corners of Nan Zhi’s lips twitched. It seemed like Mu Sihan’s charm was working. Even a ten year old girl was smitten!
…
At the dining table.
Everyone was eating quietly, apart from Ji Chuan, who kept complimenting An Feng and Nan Zhi about how good their food tasted.
“The food that my goddess and goddess’ mom made is too good! If my goddess didn’t have my Fourth Brother already, I’d really want to marry goddess…” Before he could finish his words, he felt a sharp pain on his calf. He cried out in pain, “Who kicked me?” before turning around and seeing Mu Sihan’s cold eyes. He immediately laughed dryly as he touched his nose. “I don’t have the chance to marry my goddess anymore, but my goddess’ mother is still single! My father happens to be single too, do you want me to matchmake…”
He got kicked once more.
Ji Chuan blinked his eyes pitifully. “Fourth Brother, my goddess had been taken by you, can’t I at least take my goddess’ mother?”
Xiaojie, who had been eating his dinner obediently next to Nan Zhi, also joined the conversation, “Your goddess and goddess’ mother all belongs to me, Brother Jie.”
Mu Sihan was speechless. He wanted to kick this brat away so badly suddenly, and have a daughter with Kitten instead.
…
It was raining outside.
Mu Sihan and Ji Chuan were not willing to leave, and An Feng did not know how to chase the two of them out of her house after finding out that Mu Sihan was Xiaojie’s daddy. She ended up arranging a guest room for the two of them to rest in.
Nan Zhi was lying in her bed after washing up.
She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
What did that girl say again? Taking out her cell phone, she searched for news on Mu Sihan’s engagement party.
But she could not find anything.
There wasn’t a trace at all.
However, this only served to fluster her even more.
Nan Zhi put down her phone and forced herself to fall asleep.
Sleepily, she heard her phone ring.
Grabbing at her phone on the bedside table, she glanced at it sleepily.
However, she lost all sleepiness the moment she saw what it was.
All of her goosebumps stood up on end.
She had received a photo of a pale-looking Old Madam, with blood flowing out of her eyes.
It was terrifying to see such a photo in the middle of the night.
Nan Zhi clutched at her thudding chest, as she glanced at the number that sent the message.
She called the number with red eyes.
“The number you have called, cannot be connected. Please check the number and try again.”
Nan Zhi brought her phone downstairs, with her hand still against her thumping chest.
Indeed, Mu Sihan had not slept yet. He was watching the financial news on the sofa in the living room.
He froze slightly when Nan Zhi walked in front of him. However, he reacted very quickly as he smirked. “You can’t fall asleep from thinking about me?”
Nan Zhi showed him the message on her phone, “Did Xue’er find out about you coming to find me and sent this photo to me on purpose?”
Mu Sihan took Nan Zhi’s phone.
His eyes immediately darkened when he saw the photo.
It was obvious that the person in the photo was the one he arranged to act as a ghost and scare Lian Yun. All of the guests were unconscious when that had happened… did the person who fired the gun take the photo?
A dark glint flashed in Mu Sihan’s eyes. He memorized the number and deleted the photo before he returned the photo to Nan Zhi. He replied solemnly, “It’s not Xue’er.”
After that, he told her the truth about Grandma’s death and why he agreed to get engaged to Xue’er.
When he finished, Nan Zhi did not say anything for a long while.
