Chapter 169 - Arrogant and Conceited (2/2)

Nan Zhi’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

Anger and helplessness grew in her heart.

What was he treating her as?

“Mu Sihan, do you know what I hate the most? I hate being a mistress that cannot be exposed. Yes, it’s true that you’re very good. Many people might think that they’ll be very lucky to be your mistress. However, for me, I don’t like it at all!

Nan Zhi was not stupid. She knew from the moment he forced her to sign that contract, that he was just playing with her and would not give her a home.

He could give her a thousand million, or even ten thousand million generously. He could also spoil her endlessly. However, he would never be able to give her what she wanted.

That was why she had never wondered, never allowed herself to delve deeper to consider whether she had any feelings for him. She kept controlling and suppressing herself, because she knew that she would be the one in pain the moment she let herself develop any real feelings for this man. It was better for both of them.

Mu Sihan was very handsome and was very good at touching a woman’s heart at the most appropriate times. Her heart was not made of steel, it would flutter too. She was only human.

However, she was a single mother. She was no longer the naive girl she once was, she knew her own ident.i.ty, her status and circ.u.mstances. Love? She could not let herself fall and sink into something that left her so… vulnerable.

Mu Sihan’s deep black eyes stared at Nan Zhi’s fair face. “What do you want? Freedom? Don’t even think about it for the time being!”

Nan Zhi lifted her long lashes and looked into the darkness of his eyes. The gaze starting back at her was unbelievably deep and more than slightly overbearing. It gave her the illusion that he had very strong feelings for her.

Looking at him, Nan Zhi almost got enchanted by his affectionate gaze.

But she held herself back, she knew that he was only looking at another woman through her. It wasn’t her he was looking at. Never her.

This was probably the reason why he kept her by his side at all costs.
