The man in the car clearly did not expect Nan Zhi to be so daring to kiss him as well.
He had hurt her before, and emphasized several times that he hated her, was obsessively fussy and only liked Xue’er.
Why did she kiss him?
Didn’t she like Mu Sihan?
It seemed like she was promiscuous as well!
His black eyes darkened further, lifting his hand, wanting to push her away with a slap.
However, he froze slightly when he noticed the panic and uneasiness in her bright almond-shaped eyes.
His temple started to hurt again.
The power of her kiss was too strong.
Even though he still had a high fever, the king of jealousy, Mu Sihan was about to wake up.
The feeling of this was stronger than when he saw Nan Zhi at the back garden of the castle earlier.
He lifted his arm, using all of his strength to push Nan Zhi away.
He then panted heavily, leaning on the steering wheel.
Nan Zhi fell to the floor.
Seeing this, the guard hurriedly ran over and held onto Nan Zhi.
“How dare you seduce His Highness, maid?” The leader of the guards told the other guards to move Nan Zhi into the castle. He walked to the window and said in fear, “Your Highness, we will definitely punish this maid.”
The man did not speak.
The guard became even more scared. Would His Highness take their heads as well?
They would definitely punish this daring maid properly!
Nan Zhi was held down by two guards. They dragged her roughly when she was not willing to follow them.
They treated her like she was a criminal that had committed the worst crime!
“Mu Sihan, Mu Sihan, wake up!” Nan Zhi shouted.
The guard hurriedly cupped Nan Zhi’s mouth, only to be bitten by Nan Zhi.
The guard removed his hand in pain and slapped Nan Zhi’s cheek ruthlessly. Just as his palm landed on her cheek, his hand was grabbed by a warm but strong hand.
The guard stumbled. He only managed to remain standing after some difficulty, while the bones in his wrists felt like they had been crushed into pieces.
“Who dares to grab my…” the guard turned around with a dark expression. However, his expression changed immediately when he saw the man holding onto his wrist. “Your-your Highness?”
Did His Highness come to take his head or did he come to punish this maid?
“Your Highness, although this maid is wearing the servant uniform for the Qiao family, we have never seen her before. She might be a spy that had been sent from somewhere, we will definitely interrogate her properly…”
The man swung the guard’s wrists away, his black eyes looking up to glance at the frozen girl coldly.
He furrowed his eyebrows a little, before he chided with a cold expression, “What are you doing still standing there? Do you want to be thrown into jail?”
Nan Zhi blinked, her long eyelashes fluttering.
Before she could say anything, the man stretched his hand our and grabbed her slender wrist.
With a tug, he pulled her into his arms.
“You…”
Nan Zhi had only gotten a word out when the man leaned down and kissed her ferociously.
His speed was quick, and no one could react in time from his action at all.
Nan Zhi widened her eyes to stare at the man in front of her. A cold aura surrounded him, as the strength he used to press his lips against hers was very strong. His breathing was also very heavy. He did not enter her mouth, merely pressing his lips against hers tightly, as if he wanted to remove a certain person’s breathe.
She had caused a wound on her lips when she bit her lips while Ye Yanfeng wanted to force himself on her in the lake earlier. Now that the man was pressing against her lips strongly, the wound had split apart again, and the sharp pain made her pretty eyebrows furrow together tightly.
There seemed to only be a person who would kiss her with so much strength…
Nan Zhi was in slight disbelief. The man was clearly still having a fever, how was he able to change back to Mu Sihan from being Ye Qing?
Was it because she kissed him?
On the other side, the guards were all staring at the scene with their jaws dropped.
Were they seeing things wrongly?
Why would His Highness, who should be chopping the maid’s head off, be kissing her?
He only let go of her after nearly one minute.
He pressed her against his chest, as he glanced at the guards with a dark and cold expression. “Did you see anything just now?”
The guards hurriedly shook their heads. “W-We didn’t see anything. Nothing at all.”
Who would dare to say that His Highness had a mistress outside and that he kissed her in front of them?
No one would have that kind of superhuman courage!
Mu Sihan’s jaw was tensed, his eyes sharp and cold. “Then I can take her with me?”
“Y-Yes, yes of course. You can take anyone you want with you, Your Highness!”
…
In the hospital.
Madam Qiao woke up slowly.
Her eyes found her oldest son, Qiao Yanrong, immediately after she opened her eyes. Although he was not her biological son, she had always treated him as such over the last few decades. He was not at fault for what happened as well, because it was her husband who had swapped their daughter for the status and power.
It was the reason why she did not chase Qiao Yanrong out of the Qiao family after she found out the truth as well. She continued to let him assist Yanze and manage the Qiao family together.
However, he fell strongly ill after his beloved wife, Lian Yun, got killed by her biological daughter a year ago. He only got better in the recent few months.
Madam Qiao’s eyes were filled with tears. She grabbed Qiao Yanrong’s hands, her voice choking. “Ah Rong, did you hear about what happened? Ding Shuman doesn’t belong to our family. How dare she lie to me for so long? My poor daughter, I still don’t know where she is!”
Qiao Yanrong moved his hands to grab Madam Qiao’s hands instead, “Mom, we’ll find her. You will definitely find your biological daughter soon.”
Madam Qiao nodded through her tears as her eyes glistened in anguish. “Ah Rong, it’s been a year since Lian Yun left us. Shouldn’t you consider starting a family again? Your oldest son isn’t young anymore, but still doesn’t have any children. I really want to have a great grandchild!”
At the thought of Lian Yun, Qiao Yanrong felt a pang in his heart.
If it wasn’t for him, she would not return to Ning City. If she didn’t return to Ning City, she would not have died so tragically by the hands of her own biological daughter!
All of this was because of Mu Sihan!
He did not die with her a year ago because he still needed to avenge her one day!
Qiao Yanrong stayed to chat with Madam Qiao for a while. He only got up to leave after she had fallen asleep, and met Qiao Yanze at the door.
Qiao Yanrong asked, “Ah Ze, how’s the investigation going? Was the organization that did the testing bribed?”
Qiao Yanze shook his head, “No. The owner of that strand of hair is indeed Mom’s daughter. I’m just waiting for Ding Shuman to wake up now so I can question her properly!”
…
Nan Zhi had been forced into Mu Sihan’s car by him. She did not resist, sitting on the front passenger’s seat obediently as she waited for him to drive and leave the castle.
After he had driven for a while, Nan Zhi turned back to watch the castle slowly disappearing from her sight.
Her suspended heart finally fell back in place.
This day was really too scary!
By now, the car had driven onto the main road, and Nan Zhi turned slightly to look at the man that had remained silent from the start. His handsome facial features were completely tensed, while his lips were pursed tightly into a straight line as well.
He was exuding a deathly cold aura that warned others against crossing him!
