Chapter 429 - Deep Love (2) (2/2)

Yi Fan came into the room after knocking. Glancing at the man who was inhaling and exhaling smoke too quickly to be normal, Yi Fan walked forward and said softly, “Young Master, I heard from Junyuan that Young Master Qiao is bringing Miss Nan and Young Master Xiaojie to see the snow at H City.”

Mu Sihan’s gaze darkened. “H City?”

“Yes.”

Mu Sihan did not say anything. He merely took a few more puffs of smoke before he changed the topic of conversation, “How’s the investigation going?”

“For now, we’ve only found out that the Old Madam had been rather emotionally unstable a week before her death. The butler at the Mu manor said that the Old Madam often had nightmares and would jerk away. She would then cry silently, saying that Miss Xue’er was so pitiful that she had no one to take care of her after she left…”

Mu Sihan tapped the cigarette into the ashtray, a sharp glint flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. The Old Madam had never acted like this in the past.

“Have you sent the Old Madam’s incense burner for checking?”

Yi Fan nodded, “I’ve sent it for checking, but there were no abnormalities.”

“Investigate more thoroughly.” There was definitely someone behind playing tricks when things were out of the ordinary. It definitely was not something as simple as a heart attack behind the Old Madam’s death.

He just needed to uncover it.

…

After Yi Fan left the study, a thin figure entered softly not too long later.

Xue’er walked behind Mu Sihan, hugging his arm as she looked up at him. She wore light makeup on her beautiful face, and it made her look more radiant under the light. “Ah Han, it’s been a while since we went out together on a trip. You used to say that you would bring me to see the snow, can we go together this weekend?”

Mu Sihan’s aloof expression remained unchanged. He stared at Xue’er’s bright and pure eyes for a while, before he nodded slightly, “Where do you want to go to see snow?”

“Probably H City.”

Ever since Grandma had pa.s.sed away, his emotions had been down. She could not read his inner thoughts, and she did not want to put all her hopes in having him agree to go on the trip.

He pursed his lips, only saying one word, “Okay.”

Xue’er widened her eyes slightly, as the sparkle in her eyes brightened. A bright smile bloomed on her face, while her long eyelashes curled slightly. When she smiled, she was extremely pretty and charming.

Many men would feel their heart beat faster when she smiled. However, the eyes of the man in front of her remained dark, like a puddle of murky water that no one could ever touch.

…

H City.

When Nan Zhi, Nan Xiaojie and Qiao Yanze landed, it was already evening.

The air in H City did not have the smell that Ning City had. It was a lot fresher without the industrial pollution.

The three of them sat on the vehicle that came to pick them up to take them to the hotel they were staying at.

Qiao Yanze had arranged the hotel accommodations. He said that it was not expensive, and Nan Zhi had paid him half of the money required for the booking. However, Nan Zhi only realized that they were staying at a 7-star luxury hotel when they arrived.

The three of them were about to walk into the lobby with gold and sparkling walls, when a long luxurious sedan stopped next to them.

Both Nan Zhi and Xiaojie were slightly surprised when they saw the couple that got off from the car.

Xiaojie almost called for his daddy instinctively, though his small eyebrows furrowed together when he saw Xue’er next to his daddy.

What aunt?

She was his girlfriend, alright?

He did not know what type of taste his bad Daddy had. His Pretty Zhizhi was way, way prettier! A million times prettier!

Mu Sihan walked in front of Xue’er. The temperature in H City was a lot lower than that of Ning City. He was wearing a dark gray v-neck knitted s.h.i.+rt, which shaved off the sharpness on him, making him look more handsome and charismatic. Just a look at him would make one’s heart thump nonstop.

He wore a pair of black sungla.s.ses, with his deep eyes hidden behind the dark lenses to the point it was hard to see them at all.
