Chapter 617 - Don’t You Miss Me? (1/2)

It was not that Nan Zhi did not want to go out to welcome Mu Sihan, but she was a little confused and scared by his dismissive gaze when he pa.s.sed by her in the afternoon.

When she brought Xiaojie over to find him, she felt extremely courageous.

But now that she heard the sound of the engines outside, she acted like a snail that had hidden in its sh.e.l.l.

Not too long after Xiaojie ran inside, Nan Zhi heard the maids greeting ‘Fourth Young Master’ unanimously.

Nan Zhi, who was sitting on the sofa, trembled immediately.

Her hands that were placed on her knees clenched tightly then relaxed, before they clenched tightly again.

She had never been so nervous.

Shortly after, Nan Zhi heard Xiaojie’s soft voice. “Daddy, you’ve been away for so long, have you missed me?”

Nan Zhi held onto her breath, hearing the man humming in agreement softly.

“I miss Daddy too! I didn’t come here alone tonight, Pretty Zhizhi is here too!”

Xiaojie held onto the man’s large hands and walked into the living room hurriedly.

The man behind him remained indifferent and unchanged.

After Nan Zhi heard Xiaojie’s voice, she could not remain calm any longer, standing up from the sofa.

As she saw the man slowly enter her sight, her heart started to beat faster.

He had changed his clothes, and was not wearing the military uniform he was wearing when he got off the plane. Instead, he was now wearing a fitting dark colored suit with a tie, a diamond tie clip clipped on it. He looked extremely handsome and charming in this outfit.

Nan Zhi’s eyes landed on his handsome face, at his eyes that were as dark as ink, his tall nose and scarlet s.e.xy lips… He was the same as before, but there was an unfamiliarity on him that made her confused.

It might have been because his expression was way too aloof!

It had been 90 days from the day he left till today, when he returned.

The two of them had no contact with each other at all, each of them holding on to their yearning for the other.

Her feelings for him did not fade away with time. Instead, it deepened with that yearning and adoration for him.

In countless number of dreams she had, she always dreamt of him returning.

She thought that he would definitely hug her domineering and wildly, before he kissed her ruthlessly.

She had never thought that their reunion would be so calm and cold.

Nan Zhi’s eyes landed on his well-defined features.

No one spoke in the large living room.

It was completely silent.

Nan Zhi just stared at him like that until the two arrived by the sofa.

“Pretty Zhizhi, Daddy is back.” Xiaojie was in front of Mu Sihan and did not notice how aloof Mu Sihan looked.

Mu Sihan’s deep black eyes landed on Nan Zhi’s face and met her eyes.

His eyes were as deep as the ocean, as if able to drown a person in them.

Nan Zhi smiled brightly, taking the initiative to greet him. “I’m very happy that you can return safely.” When she said this, a layer of moisture covered her eyes unconsciously.

She had been worried and scared for the entire duration he was away.

To be honest, every day had been tough for her.

Mu Sihan nodded at Nan Zhi, not a bit of change in his cold, black eyes after hearing her speak. He replied hoa.r.s.ely and coldly, “I’m very good, you don’t have to worry.”

He did not speak to Nan Zhi anymore, turning to look at Xiaojie instead.

He caressed Xiaojie’s small head softly. “Daddy still has many things to do. If you’re staying at the Palace, you can go to sleep by yourself after showering. If you’re not staying, be safe when you return with your Mommy.”

He did not look at Nan Zhi again before he went up.

Nan Zhi stared at his indifferent back, her expression turning stiff.
