Nan Zhi did not know how to explain what happened between Mu Sihan and her to Qin Yubing.
It was nothing glamorous and it was also painful how it had ended. If anything, she didn’t want to drag up those traumatic memories again.
“He’s the sponsor for ‘Delicacy’ and I heard some things about him. His temper is not very good. It’s better if you don’t have any contact with him in the future.” Nan Zhi did not want Qin Yubing to come into contact with Mu Sihan. She did not know whether it was because of Qin Yubing or because of Mu Sihan.
She really did not want to think about it if there was really something between the two of them.
It was an extremely complicated feeling.
Qin Yubing furrowed her eyebrows. If she was honest, she was a little unhappy with Nan Zhi for stopping her. It was hard for her to finally meet someone she liked. As her best friend, shouldn’t Nan Zhi be supporting her?
Nan Zhi noticed that Qin Yubing did not agree with her at all and had a rebellious pout on her face. She glanced at the direction where Mu Sihan and Amy were seated. “Besides, he already has a girlfriend, right?”
Qin Yubing did not say anything more. However, she did not take Nan Zhi’s words to her heart.
He had a girlfriend. So what? It wasn’t like he was married. They could break up anytime, right?
It had been almost half an hour since the flight had taken off. Nan Zhi had already worn the eye mask and was resting.
However, Qin Yubing just couldn’t fall asleep.
A bad feeling grew within her as she stared at Nan Zhi’s pretty side profile.
She did not know if she was hallucinating, but the gaze Nan Zhi used to look at the man she liked seemed a little complicated…
Nan Zhi… did she like him too?
It was impossible. Nan Zhi would never snatch the man that she liked. Besides, she was a single mother. Even if she was pretty, she had already lost her right to participate in the fight.
…
The Nan family had booked rooms at a five-star hotel on Flower Island.
However, Nan Zhi did not stay at the hotel Nan Weiye booked. Yanran, Yubing and her booked a room in another hotel.
The hotel was a boutique villa with only a few levels. There were pretty coconut trees outside and an open-air swimming pool. The place was very calming and pretty.
“What happened between Yubing and you?” Xia Yanran went to fetch them after they got off the plane. The two of them did not speak much on the way to the hotel, it was like they were engaged in a cold war.
Although Nan Zhi had known Qin Yubing longer, she was usually closer to Xia Yanran. Nan Zhi had also told Xia Yanran about what happened between Mu Sihan and her.
Nan Zhi told her about Qin Yubing liking Mu Sihan.
“What? The person she has a crush on is young master Mu? Holy crap.” Xia Yanran felt that it was unbelievable, though it was also reasonable. After all, Mu Sihan was handsome, cool and arrogant and was filled with a masculine charisma that was undeniably irresistible.
He would always be the focus of any person’s attention, no matter where he went.
Qin Yubing happened to like the cool type of men and it was not impossible for her to fall for him at first sight.
“I’ll try to persuade Yubing again later then.” Xia Yanran seemed to have thought about something as she whispered to Nan Zhi, “Don’t tell her about what happened between young master Mu and you yet. If not, she might think that you’re stopping her from liking young master Mu on purpose.”
…
There was a welcome dinner the night before Nan Yao and Bo Shaoxiu’s wedding. Nan Zhi had a slight headache and called Nan Weiye to tell him that she would not attend the dinner. Nan Weiye did not say anything apart from telling her to be present and respectable for the wedding tomorrow.
After she took a nap, the sun had already set by the time she woke up again. Qin Yubing and Xia Yanran were not in the room. Nan Zhi took a glass of water and walked to the balcony.
She noticed that something was wrong the moment she walked out. There seemed to be a tall and cold silhouette standing at the balcony next to her room.
Nan Zhi turned to take a look and the man who was drinking red wine might have felt her gaze and happened to glance at her as well.
The two pairs of eyes met.
Everything around them seemed to move slowly in that moment.
However, the man retracted his gaze first very quickly. He still had a cold expression on his face and she could not see any change in emotions in him.
“Han, I’m done showering. You go and have a quick shower. We still have a lot to do tonight!”
