Chapter 420 - Holding Onto Him (2/2)

Nan Zhi wrapped her arms around his waist and her tears fell. “Sihan, everything will be all right. Pull yourself together, you still have to take care of Grandma’s funeral affairs.”

Mu Sihan released Nan Zhi, his large hand tightly holding her small hand. “Mmm, I might be very busy soon, I’ll send you back first.”

Nan Zhi wanted to refuse but when he saw his bloodshot eyes, she felt a wrenching pain in her heart.

She could not say anything to refuse him.

On the drive back to her apartment, the two of them were silent.

But one of his hands held hers tightly, as if he was drawing warmth from her, and she held his back.

Both of them were feeling very down.

No one expected that the old lady would have left so soon.

It was too sudden.

The car stopped when it reached Nan Zhi’s apartment district. Mu Sihan stopped the engine, released Nan Zhi’s hand and took out a cigar box from the storage compartment.

Nan Zhi thought of the old lady’s last words and she looked at the side of Mu Sihan’s well-defined face. She was going to tell him that she had met with the old lady tonight.

Other than not agreeing the old lady to leave him, she did not do anything else that could have provoked the old lady. The old lady did not seem too agitated when she had left.

Whether he believed it or not, and whether he blamed it on her or not, she had already braced herself.

“Mu Sihan. I have something to tell you…”

Before she could finish, his phone started to vibrate.

Nan Zhi was interrupted and could only wait for him to finish answering the phone.

She could not hear what was said on the other end of the phone, but his expression changed, and became even more cold and sharp.

He hung up and looked at Nan Zhi with his dark eyes. “I have some matters to deal with. I won’t send you up.”

Nan Zhi opened her mouth, her throat dry. “Okay.”

She pushed open the car door and got out. The Bentley sped away after she had just stood up.

Nan Zhi looked at the car that disappeared from her sight in an instant and her expression was slightly dazed.
