Chapter 596: Marriage Proposal!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Apart from Mu Sihan, there were four more men sitting in the living room.

One of them was Bo Yan, dressed in the military uniform, while the other three were military officers that Nan Zhi did not know, though she seemed to have seen them on television before.

They were talking and the living room was filled with smoke.

“We’ll head out at 9 a.m. sharp tomorrow! The situation at Yukou border is very critical right now, as the enemy came prepared. We all have to be mentally prepared…” Mu Sihan said lowly, moving his black eyes away from the map on the table when no one replied to him. He followed the eyes of where the others were looking at, as he looked towards the room door as well.

All he saw was Nan Zhi, with only a towel wrapped around her, standing there beautifully.

She had just finished showering and had yet to dry her hair, as crystal-like water beads fell from her beautiful face.

Her neck that was as pretty as a white swan was covered with red marks left by him.

Mu Sihan’s eyes darkened as his well-defined face tensed up. He chided, “Go in!”

Having heard their conversation, Nan Zhi immediately regained her senses, her face flus.h.i.+ng when she realized that she was still only covered in a towel. She gripped onto the towel tightly, bowing apologetic to the people staring at her before she hurriedly returned to the room.

The atmosphere in the living room was filled with a deafening silence.

Mu Sihan’s expression was extremely dark. No one knew if it was because others had found out about Nan Zhi, or if it was because she was wearing too little and let others see her arms and legs…

After Nan Zhi returned to the room, her heart was still thumping crazily.

Although she knew there would be a wardrobe malfunction with the towel wrapped around her tightly, the scene was still enough to make others think otherwise…

She did not know if this would lead to a bad consequence for him.

However, she did not care about all these for now, her mind filled with the words of him going to the battlefield.

He was leaving tomorrow morning!

Her heart tensed up unconsciously.

…

After the other officials left, Mu Sihan and Bo Yan were the only ones left in the living room.

Bo Yan took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his pockets, resting both his long legs on the coffee table as he lit up a cigarette.

He looked up a little, slight irritation appearing on his usually indifferent face as he stared at the man who was smoking as well. “You’re really unable to let go of any opportunity. You satisfied your animalistic desires before you called us over?”

Mu Sihan narrowed his dark eyes, smiling slightly. “Jealous?”

“You should think about how to explain it to her instead. She still doesn’t know that you’re going to the battlefield, right?”

Mu Sihan tapped the cigarette ash off his cigarette in the ashtray. “I was planning to tell her after you all left.”

Bo Yan seemed to have thought about something, moving to stand up from the sofa. “Then I’ll go bid her farewell as well.”

Mu Sihan watched Bo Yan leave.

After the living room regained its silence, Mu Sihan put out the cigar before he walked towards the bedroom with his long legs.

Mu Sihan pushed the bedroom door opened, walking towards the woman who appeared a little dazed as she sat by the end of the bed. He hugged her. “Did you hear everything?”

Nan Zhi looked up with her long eyelashes. Staring at the man’s well-defined and handsome face, she was a little angry, unhappy and looked towards the man with an expression full of reproach.

Seeming to have read her thoughts, the man lifted her chin, leaning towards her as his scorching warm breath sprayed all over her face. “Are you worried for me?”

Nan Zhi’s slender fingers grabbed the man’s strong and muscular arms, asking with a trembling voice, “Are you going onto the battlefield in person?”

Mu Sihan hummed softly, “If I win, I’ll come back to marry you.”

Nan Zhi’s eyelashes fluttered terribly.

“If I die on the battlefield, you should find someone nice to marry.” He knew that the Qiao family would definitely acknowledge An Feng and her. Even if he really had to sacrifice himself, Xiaojie and her would have the Qiao family to back them up.
