Nan Zhi lowered her eyes and went back upstairs. Soon enough, a pair of long legs in white suit pants appeared in her vision.
Even without looking up, Nan Zhi could feel a coldness emanating from the man.
“Look at me.”
The man’s cold voice sounded on top of her head.
Nan Zhi took a deep breath and raised her head.
He was wearing white suit pants and shirt with no jacket. The first three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and his exquisite, sexy collarbones and firm chest could be seen faintly.
Under his short black hair, his face was still handsome and deep-set, under his tall nose, his thin lips were pursed tightly and there was no expression on his face.
When their eyes met, her emotions surged, but he seemed unaffected, only his eyes darkened.
Nan Zhi stared fixedly at him.
She realized that his lips were not swollen, his neck was clean and there were no intimate marks. She was slightly stunned.
The air in the corridor was so quiet that even the sound of a pin falling could be heard.
“Is this the trust you have in me?” He looked at her sullenly, the contours of his face cold. “Am I a person who will sleep with any woman?”
He finished with an expressionless face and turned around, walking coldly into another room.
Nan Zhi blinked, her mind still reeling…
What he meant was that he did not sleep with Lucy?
But she saw it herself and heard Lucy and that person…
Was the person who Lucy had slept with, another person Mu Sihan had arranged?
After she heard the recording and talked to him on the phone, his coldness and indifference wavered her trust in him and she felt that she had no place in his heart.
She dwelled too much on it and steered herself into a dead end.
Nan Zhi stood in the corridor for some time, wondering if she should stay or leave.
Yi Fan came out of the study and when he saw Nan Zhi standing by the corridor, he went over, sighing slightly. “Miss Nan, Young Master knew you would come, so he left the door open for you.”
Nan Zhi coughed awkwardly. “The two guards at the gate…”
“It was deliberate. Even if you didn’t shoot them with the anesthetic, they would have still let you in.”
Sweat appeared on Nan Zhi’s face.
“Young Master wants to have coffee now. I’ll go make it and you can send it in.”
Nan Zhi looked at Yi Fan gratefully. “Thank you, Butler Yi.”
“You don’t have to thank me. I used to think that you and Young Master would never work out, but later I realized that Young Master is a stubborn person. No matter how big the forest is, he only loves that one tree.”
Nan Zhi’s mood turned better because of Yi Fan’s words. “Aren’t I the same as him?”
“Yes, so you’re as foolish as Young Master.”
…
Yi Fan came with the coffee and Nan Zhi took it from him, and carried it to the door of the study.
Raising her hands, she knocked on the door.
Her heart tightened when she thought of how she had almost misunderstood him.
There was no response from the man inside so she knocked again.
“Come in.”
Nan Zhi pushed open the door with her breath held taut.
The lights were off in the study. The man was sitting behind the executive desk, the blue light from the laptop landing on his face, making him seem cold and fierce.
His slender long fingers were typing away on the keyboard and she did not know what he was typing.
Nan Zhi looked at his icy cold expression and her heart thumped.
She went to his table and put the coffee down.
The man tapped the table with his fingers, signaling that she could leave after putting down the coffee.
Nan Zhi did not leave. She looked at the man’s deep set yet handsome facial features, and felt like an eternity had passed.
She had not seen him for a few days but it felt like she had not seen him for much longer.
“You’re still not leaving?” Thinking it was Yi Fan, the man looked up and when he saw that it was Nan Zhi standing by the office table, his dark eyes narrowed slightly.
That fierce aura had not faded and he was exuding a coldness like he was high up in the air.
He looked at her with no fluctuation of emotions on his face, only coldness and indifference.
Nan Zhi was a little frightened by his gaze.
She pushed the cup of coffee towards him, her voice soft. “I was wrong. I came to apologize with coffee.”
Although it was a woman’s nature to think too much, it was true that she was in the wrong to doubt his nature.
When the man heard her words, there was no change in his expression. He continued to concentrate on his work in the laptop and the lines of his side profile were hard, yet charming.
Nan Zhi bit her lips and felt a little angry.
This person was getting more arrogant!
She took the coffee and slowly moved towards him.
“I heard Lucy’s voice and thought it was you…”
The man interrupted her coldly, “If it weren’t for me, do you think Lucy wouldn’t find the recording watch you asked the service staff put in the room?”
Nan Zhi shivered.
So he even knew about this…
“Then why were you so cold when I called?”
The man looked up at her. “With your personality, wouldn’t you have come? Why should I say more?”
This person…
After removing the parasitic poison, he really was not romantic at all.
“I almost cried just now,” she mumbled with grievance.
“That’s because you’re too stupid.”
Nan Zhi was speechless.
After his parasitic poison was removed, they had not had a good talk, how would she know if he was still like before?
“Lucy is a princess. If you found another man, would she still bother you when she woke up? The two countries…”
The man cut her off coldly. “I know my boundaries.” Reaching out his hand, he said, “Give me.”
Nan Zhi quickly placed her small hand in his large hand.
But the next second, he shook away her hand. “I meant the coffee.”
Nan Zhi glared at him furiously. “Is a cup of coffee more charming than me?”
Mu Sihan looked at her beautiful face and a cold smile appeared on his lips. “I want to drink coffee now, but I don’t want to eat you.”
Nan Zhi clenched her teeth.
You’re having the after effects of removing the parasitic poison. Just wait till I wake the love in your heart and let’s see if you want to eat me! But if you want to eat then, I won’t let you!
“If you want to drink coffee, I can feed you.” Nan Zhi place the cup by his lips and her slender body came close to him.
The man tilted his head and could see her long and slender legs.
She was wearing a big sweater and shorts today. The sweater was loose and at a glance, it seemed like she was not wearing any pants.
“Are you here to catch me in the act or to seduce me?”
When Nan Zhi heard his words, the hand holding the coffee shook and most of the coffee flew to his crotch area…
When the hot liquid touched him, Mu Sihan gasped and a grim look appeared on his handsome face.
She did not come here to catch an adultery in act, nor to seduce him. She was here to burn him to death!
