Chapter 556: She Has a Man Behind Your Back
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Nan Zhi was not someone who allowed herself to dwell in sadness. She understood the difficulty Mu Sihan faced and would not force him to make any promises or give her a status immediately.
What’s more, Xiaojie would receive better education being with him.
Let’s keep it like this for the time being!
Nan Zhi got up from bed, washed up and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.
The fridge was full of ingredients. Nan Zhi made a pot of porridge, fried a few eggs and made two cold dishes.
When she was done, she brought the dishes to the table.
Suddenly the crisp clicking sound of high-heeled shoes echoed across the palace. Nan Zhi looked up and saw a fairy-like young woman in a white long dress, with shoulder length hair and exquisite makeup, walking over.
She looked arrogantly at Nan Zhi, who was wearing an ap.r.o.n, and thought she was a new servant. Raising her eyebrows slightly, she said dismissively, “Make me breakfast too.” Then she walked towards the swimming pool in a pompous manner.
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. She took off her ap.r.o.n and followed the woman, who had came unexpectedly, towards the swimming pool.
Mu Sihan had woken up early and he had the habit of having a morning swim everyday.
The morning sun sprinkled on the sparkling water, spreading a layer of golden light on the surface of the water. A built and tall figure suddenly emerged from the water, wiping the beads of water from his face before diving down into the water again.
The man was like a flying fish, paddling his powerful arms and swimming to the deep end of the pool.
Nan Zhi saw that young woman was walking to the side of the pool. The woman’s back was facing Nan Zhi, so Nan Zhi could not see her expression.
Nan Zhi raised her eyebrows in doubt. Who was this woman?
She was able to come and go freely in the palace and order people around. She should have a high status!
But it seemed improper to come to the swimming pool and watch the man swim in the morning.
Didn’t she know the relations.h.i.+p between Mu Sihan and Shangguan Wan?
A few minutes later, the man came out of the pool.
His slender fingers picked up the towel on the deck chair and wrapped it around his waist. The figure exposed was wild and magnificent, on his well-defined face, his dark eyes were cold and he shook off the beads of water on his hair, a wild and cold air exuding from his body.
“Brother-in-law.” The young woman ran forward, grabbing on to the man’s strong arm, looking at him with a bright smile on her beautiful face, her voice sweet and pleasant.
Mu Sihan frowned, shaking off the woman’s hand ruthlessly and said with his face icy cold, “Why are you here? Didn’t Wan’er go back to the Shangguan house last night?”
“Brother-in-law, I came today to tell you about my sister.” Shangguan Rui pouted her mouth and blinked charmingly at Mu Sihan.
Mu Sihan ignored her and strode away.
Shangguan Rui caught up with Mu Sihan, tears filling up her bright and round eyes. She continued to act coquettishly without feeling embarra.s.sed. “Brother-in-law, you don’t want to know what happened to my sister?”
Mu Sihan stopped, his cold eyes looking at Shangguan Rui. “What happened to Wan’er?”
