Xiaojie looked at Mu Sihan, whose expression had immediately turned cold, and stuck out his tongue. “Uncle Cool, you have to compete fairly if you want to chase Pretty Zhizhi. Pretty Zhizhi is single, and so pretty so she has no shortage of wild men chasing her!”
Mu Sihan’s expression darkened like there was a storm coming.
“But I still like you very much, so you have to do your best. Or else, there won’t be much you can do after I get well!”
Mu Sihan looked at the brat who was obediently lying under the blanket and showing only his big black eyes. He shook his fist at him and said, “Brat, if you dare to snatch my woman, do you believe I won’t beat you up?”
Xiaojie gave a bright smile. “You won’t beat me up if you want to chase after my Pretty Zhizhi!”
The brat was smart.
Mu Sihan snorted. “Do you know who gave your Mommy the ring?”
Xiaojie shook his head. “I don’t know.”
After Xiaojie fell asleep, Nan Zhi came into the room after taking a bath. She had a towel wrapped around her body and her hair was wet. She saw that Mu Sihan was still standing by the bed without a shirt on, his pants soaked and under the light, she could see the distinctive outline of his crotch.
Nan Zhi could not help but think of the pair of underwear she had brought for him.
The size was indeed…
The man standing by the bed suddenly strode towards her. Nan Zhi’s hands that were wiping her hair paused slightly.
Despite herself, her body stiffened involuntarily.
When he was two steps away from her, the man stopped and stared at her coldly with his deep dark eyes.
Nan Zhi had seldom seen him looking at her with a gaze that held no warmth at all. Her heart tightened and she asked. “What’s wrong?”
“Do you have anything to say to me?”
Nan Zhi did not understand what he meant. Did she have anything she needed to tell him? What did he mean by his loaded question?
“No.”
Mu Sihan pursed his thin lips and stared at her sharply with his dark eyes. “Somebody gave you a ring tonight?”
Nan Zhi had not expected him to ask about this. She nodded. “… Yes.”
“You accepted it?”
Nan Zhi was speechless. This had nothing to do with him, right? Besides, she did not know who had given it to her.
Mu Sihan nodded, looking at Nan Zhi with a gloomy and complicated expression. Then without saying anything, he left with a cold expression.
She felt a chill when he walked passed her.
Nan Zhi felt somewhat bewildered.
The temper of that man was one which she could not figure out. His temper came and went quickly, so it should not take long for him to be in a better mood.
But, was he…
No, he was just possessive. There was no way he could have genuinely fallen for her.
…
The next day.
Nan Zhi woke up early. The night was long and she had not slept well at all.
Unlike her, Xiaojie was still fast asleep. After staring at him for some time, she got up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Usually, she did not go to the main building that much, she only needed to when she made breakfast for her and Xiaojie in the mornings.
She entered the kitchen and a few moments later, a serious and cold voice interrupted her from behind. “Nan Zhi, come out for awhile.”
Nan Zhi turned back and saw Auntie Yu. She frowned in confusion.
Wasn’t Auntie Yu fired by Mu Sihan?
Auntie Yu saw that Nan Zhi was not moving and her face became a little more impatient and angry. “Why are you staring at me? The Old Madam is here. Come out for a bit.”
The Old Madam was here?
Nan Zhi’s heartbeat sped up. She had only met the Old Madam once, but had a good impression of her. She did not want the elder to see her in Mu Sihan’s house.
