Hearing Mu Sihan’s words, Nan Zhi was still slightly worried.
If it were Mu Sihan, she would not be afraid of Xue’er charming him. However, if it was his Ye Qing personality, Nan Zhi could feel his adoration for Xue’er and the resentment he held towards her from the few times she had interacted with him.
Nan Zhi bit her lip, saying softly, “What if Xue’er seduces him, or hides the truth from him so well that he can’t see through her facade?”
Mu Sihan cupped Nan Zhi’s face with his hands, his calloused fingers rubbing against the corner of her lips softly. “Have you forgotten about my situation right now? How many times have you seduced me? If I can be turned on, why would I only kiss you every time?”
Nan Zhi glared at him with a flushed face. “Who seduced you?”
Staring at the woman’s bright and beautiful face, Mu Sihan smiled. “You didn’t seduce me, I was the one who couldn’t help myself.”
Laughing at his words, Nan Zhi’s eyes curled up into a glowing smile.
Seeing that she had laughed, Mu Sihan used the tip of his nose to rub against hers, his eyes on her turning slightly darker. “Are you still angry?”
Nan Zhi looked down with her long lashes, her scarlet lips pouting slightly. “Am I that petty?” Pausing for a second, she hurriedly changed the topic. “Since you’re sharing a body with your Ye Qing personality, he naturally won’t be able to gain any desire for Xue’er. However, what if he isn’t able to see through Xue’er, and instead, wants to take over your body because of Xue’er and elope with her?”
Hearing his words, his handsome face leaned closer towards her. His well-defined eyes were so dark that they seemed to want to swallow her up. “Aren’t you here then? I believe that with your intelligence, you would be able make Xue’er give something away. Then you can make the Ye Qing personality like you so that he will see through Xue’er and let us be together.”
Nan Zhi did not expect for him to trust her so much.
To have a trust like this for her, it would be a lie to say that he didn’t care about her the most. If not, how would it be possible for him to place his fate into her hands?
If she wasn’t able to complete her mission, it was highly likely that Mu Sihan would completely disappear from this world.
Nan Zhi’s heart thumped unstably, glancing at Mu Sihan with slightly red eyes. “Do you have that much faith in me?”
Mu Sihan pulled Nan Zhi into his arms, resting his handsome chin on her head. “I want you to have all of me. The whole me. It’s only then that we can have a complete relationship. Are you scared?”
To be honest, she was afraid. If she made any mistakes, or if she wasn’t good enough, she would lose him forever!
But… If she didn’t take this step, he would never be a complete Mu Sihan.
Even if the two of them got married in the future, she would still have to face his Ye Qing personality when he got a fever.
Nan Zhi closed her eyes, before she opened them to look at him with a fierce determined in her eyes. “I will help you.”
Mu Sihan grabbed her hand. “Let’s settle this after we’re done with Lucy.”
Nan Zhi nodded. “Alright.” In this moment, she would have never thought that Lucy’s issue would be a lot more troublesome that they had originally thought.
It was as if there was a force that was controlling all of these happenings in the dark, pulling strings like a master puppeteer and pushing her further away from him.
“Let’s go back!”
Nan Zhi stood up, about to turn around before she realized that something was wrong.
She hurriedly turned back to look into the distance.
However, apart from the shaking leaves, she could not see anything. But something felt strange.
“Mu Sihan, did you notice anything?” Nan Zhi leaned towards Mu Sihan. She did not notice anything when she was still angry at him at first. However, right now, she kept feeling as if there were endless pairs of eyes staring at the two of them in the dark.
Mu Sihan stood up, glancing at the woman who was curling herself up in his arms. An unnoticeable smile made its way into his dark eyes. “What did you notice?”
Seeing his relaxed expression, Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, whispering softly, “It feels like someone is staring at us in the shadows.”
“Does it?”
“Yes.”
The moment Nan Zhi finished speaking, several soldiers dressed in camouflage uniforms and warpaint appeared in front of her.
Nan Zhi was flabbergasted.
Before she could say anything, Bo Yan walked over as well, his expression cold and calm. “Sihan, I received news that Stone and his team have found Ah Long. We were about to return and didn’t expect to meet Nan Zhi and you here when we passed by.”
Bo Yan’s lips curled up slightly. “Isn’t the place the two of you chose to have a date too secluded?”
The soldiers behind Bo Yan suddenly shouted, “Your Highness, kiss her!”
“Kiss! Kiss!”
Hearing the soldiers’ shouts, Nan Zhi’s fair ears flushed red.
Staring at him in shyness and embarrassment, she hurriedly eyed him. Telling him with her eyes to not kiss her in front of so many eyes.
However…
The man that was more thick-skinned than her did not seem to understand her gaze, as his slender fingers lifted her chin.
When she was slightly panicking from being caught off guard, he immediately kissed her scarlet lips…
Behind them, the soldiers’ cheers and shouts rang behind them.
Nan Zhi’s mind blanked out.
This person…
He only let go of her when she almost stopped breathing. His sexy lips continued to press against her lips, using a voice that only the two of them could hear as he whispered hoarsely, “When we get married in the future, we have to kiss in front of the world. You should get used to it now.”
Nan Zhi pursed her numbed lips from the kiss, glaring at him with a flushed and incredulous expression.
…
Lucy was forced onto the helicopter by Mu Sihan’s men. Her eyes were covered by a blindfold and she could not see anything.
The military doctor traveling with them helped to take out the bullets in her knees.
Although she was not injured at her vital organs, she was still in terrible pain, feeling as if she was about to die anytime.
After they arrived at the Capital, Lucy was kept in a cold and dark room. They tied her to a cross and when she was the only one left in the room, a scary voice suddenly echoed around her.
There was no light in the room, and hearing that terrifying voice made the goosebumps crawl all over Lucy’s arms.
The voice became more sorrowful and scary, making her tremble from head to toe.
Just as her heart was about to collapse from the fear, a screen suddenly appeared in front of her.
On the large screen, Mr Bai suddenly appeared, his eyes and mouth bleeding while his face was terribly pale.
Together with that scary voice, the image was completely terrifying.
Even if Lucy was exceptionally daring, she was still scared to the point that her legs went weak from seeing such an image.
“Give me back my life, give me back my life…”
Lucy closed her eyes, shaking her head nonstop. “Not me! I didn’t kill you! Don’t come and look for me! No!”
…
After returning to the Capital, Mu Sihan went to the interrogation room to look at the CCTV recording of Lucy being detained.
When he heard her mumbling nonstop, screaming that she was not the person who killed Mr Bai, he furrowed his eyebrows tightly.
