Chapter 657 - Getting Past this Difficulty Together (1/2)

In the manor.

Mu Sihan sat on the sofa, crossing his slender legs elegantly. He had a cigar in between his lips. After he lit the cigar, his face was covered by the swirling smoke, making him look extremely serious.

Nan Zhi sat next to him, unable to stop herself from speaking when she saw his tensed expression. “Did you manage to find out who the one against me is?”

Mu Sihan exhaled a mouthful smoke slowly, narrowing his black eyes at Nan Zhi. “Shangguan Wan.”

Nan Zhi was completely shocked, her long lashes fluttering terribly in disbelief. “It can’t be Wan Er.”

The corners of Mu Sihan’s s.e.xy lips curled up. “She’s your rival, but you’re actually speaking for her.”

“She’s not.” Nan Zhi glared at the handsome man, pouting. “Although she’s your wife in name, she doesn’t have feelings for you. You can stop being so smug over it.”

Mu Sihan raised an eyebrow, smirking wider. “How many women can remain unaffected for such a charming man like me?”

Nan Zhi really wanted to hammer this narcissistic man to death!

She took a deep breath, changing the topic. “Why did you ask me to come here? If people find out about us, the two of us would be dead.”

Mu Sihan tapped the cigar against the edges of the ashtray, his well-defined fingers lifting up Nan Zhi’s exquisite chin. His voice was low as he raised an eyebrow. “Do you really want to be an unseen mistress for the rest of your life?”

Nan Zhi’s breathing tightened, her fingers curling up tightly unconsciously. “What do you mean?”

“We have to face this eventually.”

Nan Zhi got more confused the more she heard. She was about to clarify her confusion when a loud commotion appeared outside.

Yi Fan used his body to block them from the outside. He said something, but the ruckus did not stop, merely getting louder and messier.

Nan Zhi watched the man beside her press out the fire of the cigar before he stood up from the sofa.

He took off the coat he had on his shoulders, leaving on the fitting black s.h.i.+rt and suit pants on him. His hair was combed neatly, his expression void of any temperature as his aura blasted out. His eyes were filled with dominance and cold arrogance.

Nan Zhi stared at the man who suddenly changed his gaze and aura into that of a King, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar towards him.

“Who’s outside?” Staring at his well-defined face, Nan Zhi asked softly.

Mu Sihan glanced down at Nan Zhi. “Did you go everything that Yi Fan had told you to?”

Nan Zhi nodded.

“If I didn’t guess wrongly, those are reporters outside. They’re not only the local ones, but also some from overseas.”

Nan Zhi’s breath tightened.Read latest chapters at vipnovel.com

She would not have thought she would need to face a ma.s.s h.o.a.rd of reporters in such a situation. She furrowed her eyebrows. “Even if I can clarify that I’m not that woman in the video, our relations.h.i.+p now still cannot be exposed. If the reporters caught us…”

Mu Sihan interrupted Nan Zhi’s unfinished words coldly, “I said before that we have to face this eventually.”

Before Nan Zhi could say anything, Mu Sihan was already walking towards the door.

Nan Zhi being framed online suddenly, Shangguan Wan’s disappearance, and the reporters appearing suddenly… Everything seemed like they had been arranged by someone beforehand.

As long as a person had the ambition of a wolf, they would want to become a King that was above everyone else.

If he wanted to become the Crown Prince, he could not be involved in any scandals openly. If the other party was successful this time, even if he had earned points from leading a victory in war, he would be ruined by the scandal. Everything he had done before would all have been in vain.

Mu Sihan’s expression was cold, his lips pursed tightly. A few seconds later, he spoke lowly, “Yi Fan, let them in.”
