Chapter 621: Peeping
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since that night when Nan Zhi saw Mu Sihan and the Princess from the neighboring country doing an unimaginable thing in the car that made the car shake, the two of them never met again.
Nan Zhi had placed all of her attention on Xiaojie and her work.
She worked during the day and accompanied Xiaojie during the night.
Although she felt sad and felt like crying occasionally, it was still within an acceptable range.
She might have been too easily discouraged, since she kept thinking that there must be a reason why he was so cold to her…
However, she was arrogant and stubborn. She would not take the initiative to go look for him if he did not come and explain to her first!
This morning, Qiao Yanze furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Nan Zhi carrying her bag, about to leave the house. He asked, “You have to work during the weekend too?”
Nan Zhi hummed in agreement. “I’m a new staff after all, I don’t dare to say no when my boss asks me to work extra.”
“Then I’ll go fetch you after work.”
Nan Zhi asked curiously as she took note of Qiao Yanze looking all mysterious, “Haven’t you been busy flirting with girls recently? Why do you have time to go and fetch me?”
“How is flirting with girls more important than my niece?”
Nan Zhi burst into laughter. “Stop that. What’s wrong? If you don’t tell me, I won’t go.”
“Accompany me to a banquet dinner please. Your uncle hasn’t been able to woo his goddess recently, so I can only make my niece my partner!”
Nan Zhi was completely clueless that Qiao Yanze had another reason to bring her to the banquet dinner tonight.
…
Nan Zhi arrived at the broadcasting company.
She had just turned on her computer and was about to start editing an interview transcript when her colleague, Fang Fang, ran to her with her hands cupping her stomach. “Nan Zhi, you have to help me today! I have acute gastroenteritis and need to go to the hospital. Please replace me to go interview the Military Cultural Exchange meeting between our country and A Country later!”
Nan Zhi glanced at Fang Fang’s pale face and stood up hurriedly. “Do you need me to call the ambulance?”
“My boyfriend is here to take me.”
Nan Zhi nodded. “Don’t worry, I’ll report it properly.”
Nan Zhi arrived at the venue where the two countries’ Military Cultural Exchange meeting was taking place. Reporters like them who reported to the various channels were unable to enter, and could only do their reporting in front of the venue.
After choosing a good spot, Nan Zhi started to give a brief introduction on the Military Cultural Exchange meeting.
She did not notice a pair of eyes landing on her from inside a black sedan that was slowly driving over.
She was wearing a white shirt with a short skirt that hugged her hips. Her long hair was tied into a clean ponytail, making her seem professional and capable while she exuded the unique aura that only a working female could have.
In front of the camera, she was always so beautiful and confident, calm and mature.
When Nan Zhi was done reporting, she heard a reporter shout, “It’s the Fourth Prince’s car!”
Several reporters swarmed towards the Fourth Prince’s car.
“Nan Zhi, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go interview the Fourth Prince!” her colleague urged her.
Nan Zhi stared at the swarm of reporters that were not able to get close to that car at all. She furrowed her eyebrows slightly. “It’s no use even if I went over, the bodyguards won’t let us get near.”
Indeed, it was as what Nan Zhi had said, as the reporters that wanted to get near to the car were all stopped by the bodyguards.
After she was done with the morning’s reporting, Nan Zhi went to the washroom when it was lunch time.
By the time she returned, the colleague that was in-charge of buying their lunch stared apologetic at her. “Oh no, I forgot that you’re here too, Nan Zhi. I only bought four lunch sets and left yours out, what do I do?”
The colleague was called Li Ting. She had hated Nan Zhi ever since she entered the military reporting team and had always played petty tricks on her when it came to work.
Noting this, the photographer immediately passed Nan Zhi his lunch set. “I’m a man, it’s okay if I starve for a meal, so you can eat mine!”
Li Ting hurriedly grabbed back the lunch set that the photographer passed to Nan Zhi, glaring at the photographer unhappily. “There aren’t any food stalls around here. You’ll be hungry later if you don’t eat.” As she said that, she glanced at Nan Zhi and checked out her slender figure. “Besides, Nan Zhi probably depended on starving herself to achieve her slim figure anyway. She should be fine with skipping a meal!”
Nan Zhi did not want to be bothered by Li Ting.
She knew that Li Ting was a relative of Li Ying, and Li Ying had been harboring a hatred towards her ever since she had been chased out of the Qiao family’s castle.
“I brought bread, you can eat it!”
Nan Zhi walked towards the flower bed by the side and sat down. It was impossible not to be tired from wearing high heels while reporting for the entire morning.
…
In the resting room on the third floor.
Yi Fan carried an exquisite paper bag into the room. Seeing Mu Sihan looking at something through the binoculars, he walked over. “Young Master, I noticed that you didn’t eat much during lunch, so I went to the kitchen to get you some food.”
Mu Sihan stared into the binoculars in concentration, ignoring Yi Fan.
Seeing that Nan Zhi did not eat and was only drinking a few gulps of water as she sat by the flower bed alone, his expression darkened. “Get someone to send her food.”
Yi Fan hurriedly walked over to window. Seeing the countless numbers of media reporters, he was about to ask who to send the food to when he suddenly thought of Nan Zhi and he understood everything.
“I’ll get someone to send the food over immediately.”
…
Nan Zhi was planning to take a short nap when a uniformed waiter suddenly ran over.
He passed an exquisite looking bag to her. “Hello, someone gave you this.”
Several colleagues heard this and all looked towards Nan Zhi.
They were all surprised when they saw the logo printed on the bag.
The food was packed from the national banquet?
The national banquet only accommodated important guests. It was hard for a normal person to enter, not to mention taking away its food.
Nan Zhi took the bag over from the waiter. She turned around to glanced at the conference building.
A few seconds later, she took the bag and threw it into the rubbish bin.
Her colleagues all sucked in a deep breath when they saw her action.
Mu Sihan had been staring at Nan Zhi’s every action through the binoculars the entire time.
Seeing her turn around to look up, his hands holding onto the binoculars tightened its grip unconsciously. However, his handsome expression immediately darkened when he saw her throw the bag into the rubbish bin without any hesitation.
…
When she was done with work in the afternoon, Qiao Yanze really drove over to fetch her.
Her colleagues all started to gossip after seeing it.
Several people thought that she was supported by Qiao Yanze. Seeing this, Li Ting did not explain for Nan Zhi either.
Qiao Yanze drove them to a high-end luxurious mall.
He pulled Nan Zhi into a brand’s flagship store.
The store’s manager greeted them warmly, “Young Master Qiao.”
Qiao Yanze pushed Nan Zhi towards the store manager. “Dress this lady up nicely.”
“Young Master Qiao is really lucky. This lady is pretty and dignified and her figure is also really good. With our store’s evening gown, she will definitely mesmerize everyone.”
“What are you talking about? She’s my niece.”
“Oh, you’re from the same family? It’s no wonder you all look really good.”
The store manager chose a white evening gown for Nan Zhi. The back of the gown was exposed, the opening extending until her back to expose her beautiful back. The front of the dress had a V-cut design, while the soft but expensive fabric clung to her curves, fitting her like a glove as though it was tailor-made for her.
