Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nan Zhi had been reluctant to think about the extent of her feelings for Mu Sihan.
Because she was afraid she would get hurt.
She never wanted to experience that kind of hurt again.
When the old lady had told her that she was just a shadow, a barrier had been erected in her heart.
But he captured her domineering, not giving her the choice but to fall.
He did not give up on her when they were in a life threatening situation and undoubtedly, it made her heart warm and she felt touched and grateful.
No matter how strong she was, she was only a woman.
She had never been in an unforgettable romantic relations.h.i.+p. Although he was bad tempered at times, most other times, he was still very good to her.
It was inevitable that she would be moved by him.
But she had never thought that the consequence of being moved was a blow to the head.
Even if what the old madam and Mi Nuo had said were not credible, then what he was saying now could not be false!
Xue’er, Xue’er, Xue’er.
Nan Zhi’s eyes filled with tears. The man’s face became a blurry haze in front of her eyes. She raised her head slightly, and a bitter smirk appeared in the corner of her mouth.
If he cared about Xue’er so much, then why did he provoke her? Why did he lead her to think more?
Didn’t he know that he would get struck by lightning if he used a woman’s feelings?
Nan Zhi clenched her teeth and her lips trembled slightly. It seemed like there was a sponge in her chest, if she gave a slight exertion, bitter tears would come out of her eyes.
Before she could calm herself down, the man suddenly opened his eyes.
His usual dark eyes were red and cold.
“Xue’er!” The man got up from her leg and his hand pressed hard on her shoulders.
A lump came into Nan Zhi’s throat and the tears she was holding back almost fell.
She was such a fool.
She knew that he had signed the one year contract with her and only treated her as a mistress, but her heart was touched!
How could she be so easily moved, knowing that all men were bad!
Nan Zhi controlled the turbulent emotions in her heart. She raised her hands and pushed him away, not caring if he was injured or not.
Clenching her fists, her fingers dug into her palm, close enough to break her delicate skin. It was almost as if to wake herself up.
Even her own father could use and deceive her, let alone this Young Master Mu, who was able to get whatever he wanted?
Sometimes he gave her the feeling that she was the world’s most pampered woman, as though when she was with him, she would be the happiest woman in the world.
That kind of illusion was too scary.
Fortunately, she had sobered up before she had fallen too deep.
Next time she would protect her heart!
After being pushed away by her, the man stood up from the ground.
He brushed away the dust on his body and looked down at Nan Zhi.
His s.h.i.+rt and pants were wrinkled but he still wore them with an air of grace and n.o.bility, like a king who was high above everyone else.
His dark eyes were as cold as frost, his thin lips were pursed tightly and it looked to be extremely serious and cold. There was no trace of warmth or emotions on his handsome face. “You’re not Xue’er.”
Nan Zhi was still in a confused state of mind and did not hear what he said.
She felt that he was looking at her like she was a stranger.
Nan Zhi closed her eyes and did not want to look at him or talk to him.
The man suddenly turned to leave after staring at Nan Zhi for a few seconds.
By the time Nan Zhi broke out of her daze, he was no longer in the cave.
Nan Zhi hugged her knees and curled herself up into a ball. Her face was slightly pale under the light of the fire. The tears were rolling around in her eyes, but she clenched her teeth and did not let them fall.
…
It was daybreak.
The man had still not returned.
This time, Nan Zhi could feel that she was really left behind.
