Chapter 365: Lost Heart

Cars pa.s.sed by Nan Zhi from time to time, some even splashed dirty muddy water on her on purpose, while some unwinded their windows to whistle at her.
The clothes she wore to the celebration party was a little thinner, and the pastel blue evening gown clung tightly to her skin after being drenched by the rainwater. Her feminine figure could be seen fully.
Even though she tried her best to stop herself from thinking about it, the scene of him chasing her out of her car for Xue’er still flash in her mind on an endless repeat.
That coldness and heartlessness when he stared at her was void of any adoration.
Was doting on her in the past all just a matter of pretense? Was she just a replacement?
Rain kept falling on her face, and her long eyelashes were drenched by the large water droplets. Every step she took was hard and heavy, as if she was walking on pins…
The thin heels on her feet were suddenly wedged in between the gaps between the sewage cover.
She lifted her leg in an attempt to pull it out, however the shoe heel was stuck deep in between the gaps and could not be pulled out, no matter how hard she tried.
The sadness and grievances Nan Zhi felt were instantly magnified.
d.a.m.n it!
Was she cursed? Even her shoe was bullying her and she was out of luck.
Her expression hardened as she was ready to discard her shoes and leave them there. Suddenly, a familiar, soothing voice rang from above her head, “Don’t move, I’ll help you.”
Nan Zhi blinked as she stared at the man who had unknowingly found her. A tint of surprise appeared in her reddened eyes. “Brother Gu Sheng, why are you here?”
Gu Sheng pa.s.sed the umbrella he was holding to Nan Zhi before he squatted and grabbed Nan Zhi’s slender ankle with his large hands. “I’ve been following his car since we left the hotel.”
He furrowed his eyebrows when he noticed her body tensing up. Sadness flashed on his handsome face as his other hand supported the foot that was stuck, and gently pulled it up. “Relax.”
Nan Zhi was a little dazed and her body leaned forward unstably. The rainwater on the umbrella fell on Gu Sheng’s soft, silky hair.
His white s.h.i.+rt was already completely drenched and stuck tightly to his body. The muscles on his shoulders and arms could be seen clearly.
Nan Zhi was still a little dazed as her reaction was a lot slower than usual. She only noticed that she had to s.h.i.+ft the umbrella above Gu Sheng when she returned to her senses.
…
Under Xue’er’s continuous nagging, the Bentley that had long driven away returned once more.
“Ah Han, it’s not right to leave a girl alone, no matter what happened. You can’t do it again next time…”
Before Xue’er could finish her words, she saw Nan Zhi, with a man that had appeared sometime during their absence, standing not too far away from them.
It seemed she had lost her balance and leaned forward when the man helped her pull out the heel of her shoe from the metal grate. The man pulled onto her arm very quickly and the position of the two seemed unusually intimate from their angle.
“See? There’s always someone helping her.” That time he had left her on the island, he had gone back again secretly after he left. However, she had already been saved by someone else.
Xue’er did not have the chance to say anything before the man already restarted the car engine and the black Bentley drove away.
…
Once Nan Zhi regained her balance, she immediately took a step back from Gu Sheng. Gu Sheng’s eyes darkened when he saw her instinctive action.
Nan Zhi looked up and suddenly caught a glimpse of a black sedan disappearing from the corner from the corner of her eyes.
She stiffened.
Why does that car look a little like Mu Sihan’s car?
It was impossible. He had already left so heartlessly. How was it possible for him to return? And even if he did return, she would never get on his car again!
“Little Flower, I’ll take you back.” Gu Sheng pulled a dazed Nan Zhi into his car.
