Chapter 243: Her Heart Was Confused
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nan Zhi did not want to say anything more to Bo Shaoxiu and tried to push him away, but she felt somewhat weak. “Let go of me!”
Bo Shaoxiu looked at her pale face and swaying body, and his heart ached. He wanted to hold her in his arms, but she took the opportunity to raise her leg and kicked at his most vulnerable place.
“Argh!”
He did not expect her to attack him. He howled in pain and had to let her go.
…
Nan Zhi was a resolute character and she would not easily believe Bo Shaoxiu’s words.
She decided to find the police officer who was in charge of the case regarding her uncle’s car accident. If she wanted to find out what had happened, she had to speak with him.
But that police officer had already retired and she did not know where he had gone to spend his life after retirement. When Gu Sheng heard that she was looking for a person, he used his connections and was able to find that police officer within two days.
It turned out that he had settled himself in a hundred-year-old town in the neighbouring city.
Gu Sheng drove Nan Zhi and Xiaojie to the town.
During this period, Mu Sihan called Nan Zhi several times, but she did not answer. Although she did not fully believe Bo Shaoxiu’s words, her mood was undoubtedly affected and she was left confused.
…
As its name suggested, the old town was a quaint, yet elegant town and after entering, elegant streets with green slabs covered the ground. Each street had unique wooden houses standing on both sides of the street.
Gu Sheng handed Nan Zhi the address of the old police officer. “I’ll take Xiaojie to look around. Are you sure you’re okay to go alone?”
Nan Zhi took the address and nodded. She touched Xiaojie’s head and said softly, “Darling, listen to Uncle Gu, okay?”
Xiaojie did not understand Pretty Zhizhi’s love life recently. Was she giving up on Uncle Cool and choosing Uncle Gu?
But after coming into contact with Uncle Gu recently, Xiaojie felt that he was much gentler and more considerate than Uncle Cool.
His temper was also very good and he was caring towards Pretty Zhizhi. Xiaojie felt that it was natural and relaxed when he spent time with him.
However, Uncle Cool was very good to him too, and even gave him a robot that looked like him, built a kindergarten for him and gave him a naughty fort…
Oh, he was confused on who was better.
He was on the fence! What a dilemma!
Gu Sheng carried Xiaojie up onto his shoulders. Both of them were unbelievably good looking and along the way, many people’s gazes were inexplicably drawn to the duo.
“Oh my G.o.d, what a young and handsome father! And what a cute little boy!”
“Are they celebrities, coming to take part in the new season of ‘Where Are We Going, Dad’?”
“I don’t know, but I feel that they are better looking than that celebrity father and son on TV!”
…
The old police officer was known as Old Lin. He had settled in the quietest and most remote corner of the small town.
When Nan Zhi went to find him, Old Lin was holding a hoe and planting vegetables in the garden beside the front yard.
Nan Zhi walked to the vegetable garden and helped Old Lin carried a bucket of water over.
Old Lin took the bucket with thanks and suddenly seemed to have noticed something. He looked up and saw Nan Zhi, who was standing gracefully by the side.
“You are…” Old Lin put down the water ladle and stared at Nan Zhi for a while, finding her a little familiar, but he could not remember who she was. “Little girl, have we met before?”
Nan Zhi laughed at Old Lin’s words. “Uncle Lin, it’s me, Xiaozhi. Do you remember me?”
“Oh, Xiaozhi from the Nan family?” Old Lin had a deep impression of Nan Zhi. When the young lady and her mother came to the police station to see her uncle for the last time, her mother was crying badly, but the young lady was like a young adult instead, holding her mother and consoling her. She only burst into tears after her mother was sent to the hospital after fainting.
