Chapter 683 - Insecurities (2/2)

Nan Zhi nodded.

The heavy rain outside had already turned lighter.

The gla.s.s window looked even brighter and cleaner after being washed by the rain.

The two people in the living room were silent for a moment.

Mu Sihan looked sideways at the woman who was an arm’s length away from him, his gaze dark. “Come over.”

Nan Zhi did not move.

Mu Sihan raised his eyebrows. “Why?”

Nan Zhi glared at him, her face tensed and seemed a little serious and cold. “See, such a big thing happened. Ling’er saw your confidant killing someone and I still choose to trust you.”

Realizing what she was about to say, Mu Sihan’s handsome face froze and he coughed, turning his head and not looking at her.

It was obvious the woman refused to give him any face and accused him relentlessly, “Even if you saw me and Brother Gu Sheng entering into the same room, you cannot suspect that me and himー”Read more chapter on vipnovel.com

The man interrupted her coldly before she could finish. “I can believe you in other areas, but I feel upset whenever I think of Gu Sheng. Especially because you lied to me for him and told me you were with Qiao Yanze.”

Nan Zhi bit her lip. “How was I to know that you were at the hotel.”

The man’s handsome face darkened. He reached out his arm and grabbed the woman’s wrist, pulling her to his side.

The fresh scent after his bath filled her nose. It was familiar and smelled good, making her heart beat wildly

He held the back of her head, not letting her avoid his gaze.

“I’m a narrow-minded person when it comes to relations.h.i.+ps. I don’t like seeing you close with other men, especially Gu Sheng. If I could, I would strangle him to death so you would never see him again.”

Seeing the man’s domineering and aggressive gaze, Nan Zhi pouted. “Why didn’t you kick the door open then?”

There was no way Mu Sihan would admit that he was afraid to see something he would not be able to accept.

He would also not tell her that it was not only women who would feel insecure, men sometimes would too.

Since he was young, he lived in a family where his parents did not love him. He had experienced the fickleness of human nature at a very young age.

He believed that she would not betray him rationally, but deep inside, his heart could not help but worry and fear.

“So, from now on, you can only have me as the only man beside you. If you go to a hotel with Gu Sheng again, I’ll never let the both of you off!”

Nan Zhi looked at the man’s dark expression. She should be the one who was angry, why was he the one getting angry?

She lowered her eyes and explained in a soft voice, “Ling’er was in the room too.”

…

Perhaps she was too tired or there was a comforting air beside her, Nan Zhi fell asleep on the man’s shoulder.

Until a noise disrupted the peaceful silence.

Nan Zhi opened her eyes, meeting with the man’s dark and slightly bloodshot eyes. “Is Butler Yi back?”

Mu Sihan hummed in agreement. “Ah Li’s back too.”

“Is he the one who Ling’er said pulled the trigger?”

Mu Sihan nodded withwit his jaw clenched.

Nan Zhi lifted her head from Mu Sihan’s shoulder and looked towards the door.

Yi Fan strode in with Ah Li.

“Young Master, Ah Li is back. There’s no news about Ah Cheng yet.”

Mu Sihan stood up from the sofa, looking sharply at Ah Li with his dark eyes. “You shot Old Mr Bai?”

Ah Li suddenly bent his knees and knelt down on the ground. “Master, I did it on your order. You said that if Old Mr Bai couldn’t develop the antidote, I was to take his life!”

Nan Zhi’s eyes widened when she heard this.
