Xiaojie looked over at Mu Sihan with doubtful eyes.
Mu Sihan turned to look at her with raised eyebrows and a sombre expression on his face. “Who said I had a fiancée?”
“Miss Ye…”
At the mention of Ye Qianqian, Mu Sihan was even more unhappy. He interrupted her with a cold voice. “She’s not.”
He never had the habit of explaining himself to people and when he said those three words, his tone was very hard and unnatural.
“Even if she isn’t, we can’t sleep together.”
Mu Sihan got up from the bed and walked towards Nan Zhi, his dark eyes locked on her. “I thought you loved your son very much? You can’t even grant such a small request?”
Nan Zhi looked at the pouting Xiaojie who wanted the three of them to sleep together. She bit her lips and wanted to say something when the man suddenly bent down close to her ear and said in voice just loud enough that she could hear, “Which part of you have I not seen before? If I want to touch you, why must I wait till now?”
After he had finished, he straightened up and pinched Xiaojie’s white and tender face. “Brat, you and your Mommy sleep first. I’ll come after I take a bath.”
Nan Zhi was speechless. What just happened?
After Mu Sihan left, Nan Zhi looked at Xiaojie with a serious face. “You tell Mommy honestly, were you threatened by him? Why do you want to sleep with him?”
Xiaojie shook his head and said crisply, “It’s a secret between us men, we can’t let a woman know!”
Nan Zhi was silent for awhile.
How long had this little fellow and that man know each other? They even had secrets together now?
“Darling, are you not afraid of him?”
“Why should I be? Uncle Cool just looks fierce on the surface, but I feel that he is a nice man!”
Nan Zhi lowered her eyes and felt some resentment in her heart.
What spell did he cast on her darling?
He was obviously fierce, but could actually get into her darling’s good graces, it couldn’t be!
“Pretty Zhizhi, you don’t seem to like Uncle Cool very much. What’s wrong, did he bully you?”
How could Nan Zhi possibly say that Mu Sihan had bullied her? This was the only man Xiaojie had shown any positive interest towards. Her little darling looked at her expectantly with round eyes. She could only bite down on her tongue and hold back. She looked at Xiaojie’s big black eyes and shook her head. “… No.”
“If he bullies you, you must tell me. I will beat him up.” Xiaojie raised his small fists.
Nan Zhi looked at this little boy who had somehow tricked her into sleeping with the devil and her feelings were a little mixed.
…
Mu Sihan went back to the main building and took a bath. He wore a navy blue bathrobe and before returning to the annex building, he told Yi Fan, “Fire Auntie Yu.”
Yi Fan was surprised. “Young Master, Auntie Yu is from the Old Madam’s side.”
Mu Sihan’s eyes darkened, his handsome face cold. “She accused my kitten and made her take the blame, do you think I can let her stay?”
Yi Fan nodded and said nothing more.
Auntie Yu usually relied on her seniority to order people around when he and Young Master were not around. It was time she got punished.
Mu Sihan took a few steps forward and stopped. “Arrange for a car to send Ye Qianqian back. In the future, don’t let any messy women like that into the manor.”
The corner of Yi Fan’s mouth twitched and he replied curtly, “Understood.”
If Ye Qianqian knew she was only a messy woman in Young Master’s heart, she would probably be furious!
…
When Mu Sihan entered Xiaojie’s room again, both mother and son had their heads against each other. Nan Zhi was holding a book in her hand and reading a story to Xiaojie in a soft and gentle voice.
Xiaojie did not like to listen to these childish fairy tales, he only liked to listen to Pretty Zhizhi’s melodious voice.
Her voice has a soothing quality that made him feel warm and protected. As he listened to the inconsequential story, his drowsy eyes struggled to stay awake and he teetered off towards the dreamland.
