Gu Sheng ignored the blood on Qin Yubing’s forehead. Apart from Nan Zhi who could touch his heart, any other woman to him was nothing but an insignificant ant.
If the people from above had not arranged for him to work with Qin Yubing, he would have punished this woman way before.
Gu Sheng strode in front of Qin Yubing. He was so warm, clean and a pleasure to look at. If anyone were to look at him, they would never expect him to attack anyone. Seeing him now, Qin Yubing shivered and felt her head. It was sticky with blood.
The man she was with had told her before not to ever provoke Gu Sheng. If not, even he would not be able to protect her.
Qin Yubing ignored the pain on her forehead and shrank back. “W-What do you want to do?”
Gu Sheng crouched down, and squinted at the diamond ring on Qin Yubing’s finger.
Qin Yubing subconsciously hid the ring behind her back.
This was the only present Mu Sihan had given her, she must keep it with her.
“Give me your hand.”
Qin Yubing shook her head violently. “I can’t give the diamond ring to you. Go away… Ah!”
Before she could finish, the hand Qin Yubing was hiding was pulled out by him. There was a dagger in his hand and he sliced at the finger wearing the ring directly.
“Ahhhhhh!!!!!”
Qin Yubing almost fainted from the pain.
The man who had cut off her finger, took the ring and passed it to one of his subordinates behind. “Run a check on this ring.”
Nan Zhi, who was hiding in the corner of the stairs, was so frightened her heart almost jumped out from her throat.
This was the first time she had seen Gu Sheng’s fierce and ruthless side.
These few days, although she was imprisoned, he had never used violence or forced her to do anything.
When he was being ruthless, he could be so cold-blooded and cruel.
It was frightening.
He took the handkerchief handed to him by the servant, gently wiping at the blood on his fingers. Then, he looked up towards the stairs.
Nan Zhi’s eyelashes fluttered and she pressed herself against the corner, her face a deathly white.
Did he see her?
Nan Zhi took the opportunity to run upstairs when he was looking away.
Closing the door, she went into the bathroom, turned on the tap and used the cold water to wash her face.
After washing her face, she squatted down and hugged herself with both hands.
There were many thoughts running through her mind and it was messy and painful.
She closed her eyes and forced her mind to turn blank and relax.
Qin Yubing screaming at Gu Sheng asking why he had killed Mu Sihan…
Brother Gu Sheng cutting off Qin Yubing’s finger that was wearing the ring and asked someone to check on it…
It was apparent that Brother Gu Sheng did not assassinate Mu Sihan. Could it be…
Nan Zhi opened her eyes and her confused thoughts were finally sorted out.
Mu Sihan did not die. He planned to use Qin Yubing to find out where she was.
But on this private island, all signals were blocked. If the ring was equipped with a tracker, Mu Sihan probably would not be able to trace it here since it was taken away by Gu Sheng’s man.
If Gu Sheng found that there was a tracker in the ring, he might take her and leave immediately.
Then it would be more difficult for Mu Sihan to find her again.
Nan Zhi’s heart was turning and she stood up with her fists clenched.
She pulled open the door and her heart skipped a beat seeing the figure standing by the door.
“You saw that?” Gu Sheng smiled gently and raised his hand, touching Nan Zhi’s face. “Don’t be afraid. If you listen to me, I won’t hurt you, Little Flower.”
Nan Zhi held down the urge to push him away, her eyes glistening with tears. “Was Mu Sihan assassinated by you?”
Gu Sheng laughed lightly. “Who knows.”
Nan Zhi grabbed Gu Sheng’s hand and the tears in her eyes fell. “Brother Gu Sheng, Mu Sihan’s dead. What’s the point of me being alive? Why don’t you just kill me as well?”
She had just finished her words when her chin was pinched by Gu Sheng. “Little Flower, other than leaving, tell me, what must I do to make you happy?”
A tear rolled out from the corner of Nan Zhi’s eye and landed on the back of Gu Sheng’s hand, as if it was going to burn his skin. Her wet eyelashes fluttered and she said with her face ashen, “Mu Sihan once found hundred roses for me in the middle of the night. There’s 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…”
“Brother Gu Sheng, if you could also get me these 100 species of roses tonight, I promise to be with you.”
“If you can’t, you will let me go, okay?”
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes and released his hold on Nan Zhi’s chin. “If he could do it, I can do it too.”
…
Mu Sihan and Bo Yan secretly searched around the islands near Na’er Sea but several of them were big and densely populated. It was not easy to find the whereabouts of Nan Zhi.
Bo Yan saw that Mu Sihan’s expression was cold and dark, and patted his shoulder. “She must be on one of the islands, don’t be impatient.”
How could Mu Sihan not be impatient? If the mysterious person found out that his death was fake, his kitten would be in more danger.
“There’ll be a storm later on. We can’t go on to the next island. Sihan, we have to stay here tonight.”
Mu Sihan nodded with his expression dark. “I’ll go for a smoke.”
Mu Sihan walked out of the hostel, wanting to find a secluded place to smoke when the conversation between two people attracted his attention.
“Brother, it’s already so late. Are you going to the flower nursery?”
“Someone offered a high price to buy all kinds of roses. Our nursery has 40 kinds. I have to get them quickly.”
“Who’s so romantic? The storm’s coming soon and still came out to buy so many different kinds of roses.”
“Who knows, in the world of rich people!”
As the voices of the people having the conversation became smaller, Mu Sihan’s dark eyes narrowed gradually.
Hmph.
Asking people to come out during stormy nights to buy all kinds of roses. Who would do this kind of thing if it was not his Kitten?
…
Gu Sheng was drinking tea in the living room when two of his men brought in a large bouquet of roses. They even brought a middle-aged man with a hunched back.
“Master, we only bought 98 kinds. The Corolla rose and Centifolia rose have not bloomed yet but this florist said that he could make these two roses bloom tonight. The storm is coming soon and we were afraid that we would not make it back so we brought him over.”
Gu Sheng looked at the florist with narrowed eyes and after a while he looked away. “Bring him to the greenhouse.”
…
Nan Zhi heard someone calling her when she was sleeping in a daze. She opened her heavy eyelids and saw Gu Sheng holding a large bouquet of delicate roses. Her pupils constricted.
“Little Flower, I’ve found all the flowers you want.” Gu Sheng put the flowers on the bedside table and his slender long fingers gently rubbed her face. “You promise to be my woman, hmm?”
Then, he kissed her on her soft red lips.
