Chapter 547: Heartbeat Speeding Up

Madam Qiao looked at the three people in front of her and felt a strange feeling.

Did Shangguan Wan not realized Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan used to be a couple?

She did not know whether Shangguan Wan had low EQ or was pretending to be foolish on purpose. Madam Qiao did not want to talk to them and after a few polite exchanges, returned to the castle.

Back in the car, Mu Sihan was looking at Nan Zhi gloomily. He wanted to scold her for being dumb several times, knowing that the Qiao family did not like her and she still wanted to be entangled with him. She even wanted to date the bastard!

But when the words were by his lips, he stopped himself from saying it.

Compared with Qiao Yanze, she now wanted to draw a clear line with him!

His tall body leaned against the back of the seat and he closed his dark eyes, his cold gaze not looking at her anymore.

Nan Zhi’s mood was also down.

She knew that Madam Qiao did not like her because of Ding Shuman and Nan Yao, but why did she have to think that she was clinging to her son?

And saying that the Qiao family did not welcome her, it made it seem like she cared about it a lot!

The car drove to Crown Palace. By the time Nan Zhi realized where they were, she was slightly surprised. “Wan Er, why did you bring me into the palace?”

Shangguan Wan held Nan Zhi’s arm and smiled brightly. “I knew you got angry just now at Madam Qiao so you’re in a bad mood. So, I brought you here to see Xiaojie. Won’t that make you happier?”

Nan Zhi grabbed the back of Shangguan Wan’s hand, her eyes full of emotions. “Wan’er, you’re so kind.”

Mu Sihan, who was about to get off the car, saw the interaction between the two women and a dark expression appeared on his well-defined and handsome face. “Wan’er, be mindful of your status.”

What was going on with these two women exchanging loving glances?

Shangguan Wan was a hero among women. She had an inherent righteous air about her. If she changed into a military uniform, there would be more women who liked her than men.

Nan Zhi had just met her and kept saying how good she was. Without his acquiescence, did she really think she could come into the Crown Palace?

Why wasn’t she saying how good he was?

Nan Zhi looked at Mu Sihan. His dark eyes were sharp and there was a cold air exuding from him, like he was high up in the air. He was looking fixedly at her and Shangguan Wan’s hands that were clasped together.

That gaze was extremely scary.

Not waiting for her and Shangguan Wan to say anything, he got out of the car first and left coldly.

“Ignore him. Not many women can bear his unpredictable, moody and bad-tempered personality.” Shangguan Wan pulled Nan Zhi out of the car.

“The servants and I are having an off day. Tonight will belong to you three.” Shangguan Wan pulled Nan Zhi to the kitchen and pointed to the cabinet. “There’s honey on the top-most shelf. Sihan drank too much so make a cup of honey water for him later. There’s fresh ingredients in the fridge too, you can make whatever you feel like eating tonight.

“Also, Xiaojie should be back from school soon. As for me, I’m going back to my parent’s home later and will be back tomorrow.”

Nan Zhi tugged at Shangguan Wan, who was about to leave. “Wan’er, will there be any bad consequences to the two of you if I stay here?”

Shangguan Wan patted Nan Zhi’s arm and winked at her. “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything taken care of. I know you don’t want to spend time with the big one, but don’t you want to spend time with the little one?”

Shangguan Wan’s words directly penetrated Nan Zhi’s heart.

Even in her dreams she wanted to be with her little darling. They had not slept in the same bed together and whispered to each other for a long time.

After Shangguan Wan left, Nan Zhi stood alone in the luxurious and bright kitchen.

Although she had come here once before, it still felt like an unreal dream.

Taking out the honey from the cabinet, Nan Zhi made a cup of honey water.

The palace without servants was quiet. Nan Zhi stepped on the high grade cashmere carpet to the second floor.

The door to the master bedroom was closed. Nan Zhi knocked but there was no answer and she pushed open the door to go in after a moment of hesitation.

After entering, Nan Zhi saw the tall man half lying on the bed. It seemed like he was quite drunk as his eyes were closed. The slippers on his feet were not yet taken off and his chest was moving up and down gently.

Nan Zhi walked to the side of the bed with the cup and squatted down, looking at his sleeping face.

He was not as noisy as Qiao Yanze when he was drunk, and his calm manner, without his sharpness and coldness when he was awake, gave him an added laziness and softness.

But his body was still exuding a cold air that stopped people from approaching him.

Nan Zhi did not know whether she should wake him up or let him continue to rest.

She sighed and put the cup on the bedside table, stood up and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, her wrist was grabbed by a large and warm hand.

Nan Zhi’s heart jumped and she looked back at the man whose eyes were still closed. She pursed her lips and tried to pull her hand away.

But the man’s fingers tightened slowly.

His palm was hot and dry, and when it rubbed against her delicate and moist skin, there was a numb feeling.

“You wanted me to stop entangling with you but in a blink of an eye, you’re hooking up with Shangguan Wan. Miss Nan, what on earth do you want to do?” The man slowly opened his dark eyes and stared at her fixedly.

His gaze was very cold, like he wanted to see through her body and into the depths of her soul.

Nan Zhi met with his dark eyes. She did not know if he was still drunk or sober and she bit her lip, saying, “She told me about the two of you.”

Mu Sihan sneered coldly. “You believe her when she told you but why didn’t you believe me when I told you?”

Nan Zhi’s hair stood on end by his cold gaze and attitude. “Actually, when I went into the bathroom that morning, I didn’t hear what you said to me. When I saw Wan’er calling you, I was confused.”

“What did she tell you?” He looked at her gloomily, his handsome face tense and cold.

“The reason you returned to the Ye family, your marriage and her child.”

Mu Sihan thought of how Shangguan Wan had made him swear that before he managed to wield power, he could never tell anyone anything about her and especially not her child…

In the end, she had just met Nan Zhi and told her everything.

Qiao Yanze still had his eyes set on her, did Shangguan Wan also…

Nan Zhi saw Mu Sihan’s gaze and she suddenly understood what he was thinking. Her long eyelashes fluttered with shock. “Aren’t you being a little unrealistic?”

“What unrealistic, do you know that a woman once committed suicide for Shangguan Wan?”

With Shangguan Wan’s personality and charm, it was possible for her to attract girls. She was really the type of person who would make one feel good when meeting her.

Nan Zhi pulled back her slender wrist from the man’s hot and dry hand. She furrowed her eyebrows and said with apparent dissatisfaction, “Mr. Mu, I have a normal sexual orientation, and Wan’er is not that kind of person.”

“Wan’er?” Mu Sihan gave a cold laugh. “How long have you known her, calling her so intimately and speaking up for her?”

Nan Zhi was speechless and had to remind him, “She’s still your wife in name!”
