She would have never thought that the murderer who caused Grandma and her uncle’s deaths was Xue’er’s mother.
Not only that… Xue’er had killed her mother personally during the engagement party and gone crazy.
It was too shocking and too hard to believe. Nan Zhi only regained her senses after a long while.
“If Xue’er didn’t send this photo, then… who did?”
Mu Sihan’s eyes darkened. “I’ll find out as soon as possible.”
Nan Zhi nodded, “Then, be careful. It’s late, I’ll go and rest.”
She turned around, ready to leave.
However, her slender wrist was grabbed by him in the next second.
He pulled hard and she fell into his arms.
Caught off guard, her fingers accidentally pressed just below his abdomen.
It was burning hot.
She immediately pulled her hand back, but he grabbed her hand and continued to press it there.
“Mu Sihan, although you had your reasons, I suffered as well because you kept everything from me. Did you think that I would fall back into your arms, just because you came to flirt with me?”
The man laughed when he saw her angry expression. His large hands were caressing her the back of her hands, as he wore an evil smile. “I know that women like to say one thing but mean another. Look, your hand is still pressed against my most important part, isn’t it?”
Nan Zhi used all of her strength to pull her hand back, but he continued to hold onto her tightly and not let go.
Nan Zhi glared at him in anger after she felt the change form under her palm, “Aren’t you tired of acting like a gangster all the time?”
He was not angry even after getting scolded and only smirked at her flirtatiously. “If I don’t act like a gangster to my own woman, then did you want me to act like a pretentious ‘gentleman’? It’s not like your man has erectile dysfunction.”
Nan Zhi quipped immediately, “I’m not your woman.”
“I’ve kissed you, touched you and had sex with you. If you aren’t my woman, then who are you, huh?”
Nan Zhi’s face had gone a beet red.
However, she did not lose her rationality.
He had always been the dominating one between them.
If he got her too easily, he would definitely get tired of her and leave her in the dust.
That was why she would not let him get what he wanted so easily this time.
However, she still was not able to win against his shamelessness.
“Mu Sihan, if you can buy a Circus rose, a Princess Diana rose, a purple rose, a rainbow-colored rose, a Blue Enchantress, a Pink Promise, a Corolla rose, a Floribunda rose, a Freesia rose, a Centifolia rose…”
Going on, she named a hundred rose species in one go. “If you can get all hundred of these roses tonight, I’ll listen to you.”
His black eyes stared at her for a long while, before he finally let go of her and said softly, “Alright, wait for me.”
…
The hundred rose species that Nan Zhi had given Mu Sihan were all from different countries. Some of them were even rare species that required reservations to ship them over and could not be obtained within a short period of time, even if one had the money.
It was an impossible task. Mu Sihan would never be able to get all of the hundred types of roses.
She merely wanted him to know when to back off.
Nan Zhi went back upstairs and turned her phone to silent mode before she went to sleep, hugging Xiaojie in her arms.
The rain outside seemed to have become heavier, and various thoughts flashed through Nan Zhi’s mind before she could not take it anymore and fell asleep.
She was startled awake by a loud rumble of thunder, accompanied by the stark flash of lightning.
Although she had fallen asleep, her nightmares kept coming.
She felt even more tired after waking up.
Just as she was tucking Xiaojie back under his blanket that he had kicked away some time during the night, she noticed her phone’s screen turning on and blacking out.
She sat up immediately.
Picking up her phone, she took a furtive glance.
It was a call from Mu Sihan.
She was a second slower, and he had hung up the call before she could answer.
There were three unread messages.
The three messages were sent two hours ago, an hour ago and just now respectively.
The one from two hours ago read, “I’m done, you can come down!”
The one from an hour ago said, “Are you asleep?”
The one from just now said, “You ungrateful girl. Alright, I’ll let you continue sleeping.”
Nan Zhi’s heart thumped crazily.
It was five in the morning right now.
This meant that it was three in the morning two hours ago, and he actually managed to get all of the hundred types of roses that she had mentioned?!
Oh my god!
It was too unbelievable!
It was mission impossible. How in the world…
Nan Zhi threw off her blanket and ran downstairs with her phone in her hands.
She could not find him in the living room.
Nan Zhi opened the door, and saw the man who was hugging a large bouquet of flowers, squatting by the door with his clothes completely drenched. She immediately furrowed her eyebrows. “Why are you squatting here?”
Mu Sihan threw the bouquet to her, “Count it and see if they are what you want.”
It was then that Nan Zhi noticed that all the flowers were fresh. She widened her mouth in shock, before stammering, “H-How did you do it?”
Mu Sihan chuckled softly, stretching his long arm out to grab her slender and soft waist. He pulled her into his arms. “Were you making things difficult for me on purpose? Do you think that I, Mu Sihan, would be scared away so easily?”
Nan Zhi had no words.
“Come, give me a kiss and I’ll tell you.”
Before Nan Zhi could say anything, he lifted her chin and kissed her domineeringly.
When Nan Zhi fell into a daze from the kiss, she was pulled into the living room by Mu Sihan.
He threw her onto the sofa before his long fingers moved to his collar and started to unbutton his shirt slowly.
His handsome jaw was slightly lifted up, revealing his collarbones and neck. With every unbuttoned button, Nan Zhi’s breathing also turned heavier.
All she saw was the man’s strong chest and his well-defined abs.
He was tall. He was not skinny, but not buff like those fitness instructors were. His muscles were just perfect, and looked pretty but it was obvious he was strong as well, like he was an alpha animal ruling the plains. He had a type of wildness on him, and exuded a strong sense of masculinity that pulled her in.
Nan Zhi did not know where to hold her eyes, as she coughed lightly. “Mu Sihan, can you stop taking off your clothes when you don’t know what to say? Can’t you be a little more reserved?”
Mu Sihan grinned cheekily at Nan Zhi, though at the same time, he looked like he was not smiling at all.
His long fingers finally unbuttoned the last button, and his upper torso was completely exposed to Nan Zhi.
Nan Zhi’s breathing tightened when she saw his fingers land on the metal belt clasp, the man acting as if he was going to undo his belt. “I only promised to give you another chance, I didn’t say that I would do it with you. Stop taking off your clothes…”
Mu Sihan walked in front of Nan Zhi, as he placed a hand beside her on the sofa to support him before he leaned in towards her.
His tall figure covered her.
The first thing Nan Zhi saw when she looked up was not his face, but his chest and his two red nipples.
She moved her vision away, embarrassed, “Mu Sihan…”
He did not want to continue listening to her, as he moved to hug her, placing his sharp chin on top of her head. His low chuckle made his entire chest rumble. “The wound on my arm has opened up. I wanted to ask you to help me re-bandage it again, but you ended up thinking too much. Seems like you’re the one who really wants to do it.”
Nan Zhi could not see his expression, having been pressed onto his chest by him. However, she could guess that his eyes had a tinge of teasing in, from his laughter. She was really embarrassed and annoyed as she started to struggle, wanting to push him away. However, he lifted her up with one hand and walked towards the bathroom on the first floor.
