Chapter 637 - Masquerade (1/2)
“I didn’t expect that you’ll invite me out for a meal. Why, you’ve come around?”
Lucy’s voice seemed to be cheerful.
Mu Sihan in the recording took a while before he spoke, “As a Princess of A Country, you’re beautiful and I won’t be at a disadvantage if I slept with you.”
“If only you could have thought it through earlier. It’s just an affair, we can separate anytime we get tired of each other. Then I can tell you how to get rid of the parasite.”
“Princess Lucy, why are you so insistent when you know I have a Princess Consort?”
“Your Highness, whether you believe or not, I was deeply fascinated by you from the moment I first saw you on the battlefield.”
“Good, then see you tonight at Tianyuan Villa. Remember to dress up!”
Lucy laughed shyly. “Your Highness, you’re so attractive when you’re not being serious. I’ll listen to you, see you tonight.”
She dragged out the last three words with a coquettish tone and gooseb.u.mps crawled on Nan Zhi when she heard it.
Later, they talked about what had happened on the battlefield. Nan Zhi found that although Lucy was on the opposing side, she had her own set of opinions about the army and war, and was not an empty vase.
After listening to the recording, Nan Zhi bit her lip.
He asked Lucy to dress up and meet him at Tianyuan Villa, what did he want to do?
If it was the Mu Sihan before he was cured of the parasite, she had 100% confidence in him. But, he seemed distant and unfamiliar to her now.
Just like what Bai Ye had said, the first woman he came back to look for should be her…
But why did he take the initiative to invite Lucy for a meal and even asked her to go to the villa at night?
Nan Zhi picked up her phone and sent a message to Qiao Yanze.
Nearly ten minutes later, Qiao Yanze replied. “Tianyuan Villa is a villa rewarded to Ye Sihan after he came back from the war by the Queen. It’s located on the hillside of the western city, one of the best villa districts in the Capital. Standing there, you can overlook most of the Capital. Why do you ask?”
Nan Zhi replied with two words. “It’s nothing.”
Not wanting to overthink, Nan Zhi called Mu Sihan’s number after a moment of hesitation.
It rang twice before it was hung up.
Nan Zhi called again.
This time, it was not hung up. After the call got through, the man’s deep and cold voice sounded, “I’m about to have a meeting. What’s up?”
Nan Zhi looked at the watch on her wrist and said quietly, “I saw you and Lucy in the hotel.”
He hummed coldly and was silent for a few seconds. Nan Zhi could hear him flipping through doc.u.ments and just when she thought he would not say anything, he replied, “I have good eyesight and I saw you too.”
Although she was not talking to him face to face, Nan Zhi still felt some of his changes.
“Are you meeting Lucy tonight?”
The man on the other end of the line closed his doc.u.ment and his voice was cold. “I’m about to start a video conference, if it’s all right, I’ll hang up first.”
“Mu Sihan!”
Beep, beep, beep…
Nan Zhi looked at fading screen and she tightened her grip on the phone, her long and thick eyelashes fluttering.
…
In the long Rolls-Royce.
Yi Fan looked at the man who was holding a video conference. His well-defined face was hard and sharp, his deep dark eyes were cold and his thin lips were pursed tightly.
The video was full of followers who supported him getting up the ranks.
“Recently the Ye Yanfeng faction has begun to move. With the Crown Prince position empty, he wants to climb up the ranks too.”
Mu Sihan’s slender finger tapped on his knee and his dark eyes seemed cold and sharp. “If he wants to climb up the ranks, he’s bound to do something. Let’s wait for him to make a move.”
Yi Fan was recording important parts of the conference while looking at Mu Sihan’s cold and commanding appearance and he felt a little stunned.
After removing the parasitic poison, Young Master was more reserved and resolute than ever.
