Chapter 527 - What She Had Suffered One Year Ago… (2/2)

“What the h.e.l.l, I’ve hunted so many women and haven’t seen one that is as difficult as you!” He did not know when he had started to care about her, but it was not the kind that made him want to have s.e.x with her. It was a strange yet intriguing feeling. He was not a very good man but he wanted to protect her every time she was sad.

But she had such a strong personality that if he came close, she would try to avoid it.

He had never seen a more hard-hearted woman!

Other women would fawn over him or scream in excitement when they saw him.

Nan Zhi was shocked by Qiao Yanze’s unexpected embrace. The faint scent of inebriation entered her nose and her body stiffened as she pushed him away. “Mr Qiao, you drank too much.”

Without waiting for him to say anything, she pulled open the gate and fled inside.

Qiao Yanze did not chase after her. He leaned against the gate, taking out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his lips, wanting to lit it up when suddenly, a fist swung towards his handsome face.

The burning pain cleared Qiao Yanze’s dazed mind.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, he looked at the man with the cold and dark face standing not far away.

Mu Sihan was wearing black s.h.i.+rt and pants. Under the dim lights his eyes were intimidating, his aura fierce like a demon from h.e.l.l. The gaze looking at Qiao Yanze was murderous.

Qiao Yanze stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his lips and the sharp pain made his eyes turn cold.

He rubbed his fist and laughed wickedly. “Your Highness is just a puppet of the Crown Prince to show his power. Honestly, I don’t think I need to be too polite to you!”

Qiao Yanze had always been fearless, and he had gotten into much trouble when his father was still alive. It was only in recent years that his temper had stabilized a little when he gradually had to take control of a large family.

But when he thought of Nan Zhi, the anger in him was burning and he clenched his fist, and swung it towards Mu Sihan’s face.

Mu Sihan dodged, but Qiao Yanze was not to be trifled with. He kicked him in the stomach with one foot. The two men, who were almost the same height, threw punches here and gave a kick there, and started to fight in the district.

Qiao Yanze was a man who lived a comfortable life and had never suffered much since childhood. After several rounds, he was knocked down to the ground by Mu Sihan.

But he did not look defeated, and in turn gave a fearless smile. “What right do you have to bully Nan Zhi? Since you’ve chosen to return to the Ye family, you should live your life peacefully. Who would want her to have any relations.h.i.+p with you?”

Mu Sihan grabbed Qiao Yanze’s collar and pulled him up from the ground, his fist swinging to his face again. But before it touched him, Qiao Yanze’s next words made him freeze.

“Did you know she almost died?” Thinking of her most difficult period of time, Qiao Yanze’s eyes turned red.

Mu Sihan frowned and released Qiao Yanze’s collar. He stepped back and asked with a deep and hoa.r.s.e voice, “What do you mean? What do you mean by she almost died?”

“After she was kidnapped by Gu Sheng, she was poisoned by the poison used by the SSS group to deal with betrayers. Her face, skin and voice would change dramatically with the poison entering her body. Do you think that when Xiaojie was having surgery, she did not go? She went and disguised herself as a cleaner, waiting in the corner to see her son.

“She did not get to see Xiaojie when his operation was successful, but heard of your marriage with Shangguan Wan. When you left in the helicopter, she chased and ran after it for so long. She was so emotional and it led to the poison spreading and making her age even more quickly.

“Although I don’t know how she was cured, I can see that she was really miserable during that period. She finally overcame it, so why are you still getting entangled with her? She doesn’t need you in her life. Are you able to give her the happiness she wants?”

Mu Sihan’s tall body was rooted to the spot.

Countless complex emotions flashed past his deep eyes.

A sharp pain spread from his chest.
