Chapter 544 - Faithful (2/2)

Did Shangguan Wan already guess that she was Xiaojie’s mommy?

And Xiaojie had even told Shangguan Wan what she liked to drink… It seemed like they were getting along rather well.

Nan Zhi’s fingers holding onto the cup of lemon juice were somewhat stiff. She looked down, not quite knowing what to say in front of Mu Sihan’s legal wife.

“It’s no wonder that I kept feeling like you looked really familiar. Xiaojie actually looks a lot like you, you’re both really pretty.”

Nan Zhi got more and more confused, not understanding what Shangguan Wan wanted to tell her.

Because her current att.i.tude really did not seem like she came to confront a third party in her relations.h.i.+p.

“Miss Nan, you seem to be a little afraid of me?” Shangguan Wan put her hands to her face, as if considering the situation. “Although I like to fight, but I don’t think I look that scary, right?”

Nan Zhi almost choked on the ice-cold lemon juice. She hurriedly waved her hands around, saying awkwardly, “No, Your Highness is mistaken. You’re really pretty.”

Shangguan Wan laughed out loud. “The soldiers always used to say I was a tomboy.”

Nan Zhi laughed from Shangguan Wan’s expression and tone. “They were blind.”

“Hmm you may be right!”

Nan Zhi stared at Shangguan Wan. She was such an easy-going and charming person, it was no wonder that Mu Sihan would like her… Even she was almost attracted to Shangguan Wan Er’s carefree and friendly manner.

“It’s fine now that His Highness likes you.”

Shangguan Wan burst out in laughter. “Miss Nan, surely you aren’t jealous?”

“What?”

Shangguan Wan licked her lips, stirring the lemon juice with the straw. “I noticed that Sihan’s mood had been rather down recently. I thought that it was because of his work at first. After all, he’s not in a very good position right now, and he had to inculcate his own people after only having returned to the Ye family for a year.”

Nan Zhi froze slightly, not quite understanding why Shangguan Wan was telling her this.

Such things should be considered confidential!

“Miss Nan, you can’t possibly have fallen for that playboy, Qiao Yanze, right? Although Sihan’s temper isn’t really good, he’s really faithful!”

Nan Zhi was more than a little speechless as she stared at Shangguan Wan.

Was she trying to trick her, or did she have another meaning behind her words? She couldn’t understand Shangguan Wan at all.

Which woman would promote her husband in front of a love rival?

“Your Highness…”

“Don’t call me ‘Your Highness’, called me Wan Er, like Sihan does!”

Nan Zhi really could not understand Shangguan Wan’s thoughts.

Could it be that Mu Sihan and her had agreed to live their own lives after getting married?

However, didn’t they have a three-month-old child together?

“Miss Nan, you still like Sihan, right?”

Nan Zhi’s fingers trembled slightly. She did not have the chance to say anything when Shangguan Wan continued, “Actually, Sihan and I only held a wedding ceremony and did not register our marriage, so we’re not really a married couple. However, because of the circ.u.mstances we’re in, we have no choice but to act as a loving couple in public.”

“…”

“He’s definitely the most faithful man I’ve ever seen. You should know that men who are rich and influential usually face a lot of temptations. Even though everyone knows that he’s married, there are still girls who try to seduce him. However, he always kept his distance away from them and never fell for any of their tricks. When he first returned to the Ye family, not only was he used by his father, he also had to face the discrimination from the other royalty and n.o.bility. For a person who always preferred to be free, it was definitely torturous for him.

“However, he still chose to return to the Ye family for Xiaojie. You should know as well that from the moment he returned to the royal family, a lot of things cannot be helped, and he would be restricted in many ways.”

Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows and stared at Shangguan Wan in slight confusion. “Why did you say that he returned to the Ye family for Xiaojie?”

As she asked, Nan Zhi seemed to have suddenly thought about something and her eyes widened in shock.
