Chapter 687 - Affection (2/2)

There was faint stubble around his lips p.r.i.c.kling her skin. It was so itchy that it made her feel numb.

This time, he did not go overboard and merely kissed her.

Moving away from her scarlet and swollen lips, he stared intently at her blus.h.i.+ng face, a softness rising within his chest.

He pulled her into his embrace, burying his handsome face into her slender neck.

Huahua, don’t worry. If we really can’t find a heart suitable for you by that day, I will give mine to you.

Yan Hua did not know what the man was thinking, only feeling his arm around her tightening so much as if he wanted to melt her into his body.

She wanted to ask about Mu Sihan and Zhizhi’s status, but this a**hole only took advantage of her and was not willing to say anything.

She could understand him as well. Although he was buddies with Mu Sihan, Mu Sihan was still his superior.

Things that Mu Sihan told him to keep a secret were to remain confidential, and he could not reveal anything, even to his most intimate lover.

…

The next day.

Nan Zhi went to the airport early in the morning and arrived at the village in the afternoon.

Arriving at the village this time, she could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the village was different from before.

Every house had their doors shut tight.

It was broad daylight, but there was noone on the streets at all. Nan Zhi did not stay too long in the village, heading into the mountains directly.

Staring at the house surrounded by bamboo and fresh flowers, Nan Zhi felt like a century had pa.s.sed.

Although she had only spent a day or two with Mr Bai, his voice and smile were still clearly etched into her mind.

She was already so sad, she could only imagine how devastated Ling’er was feeling! Ling’er was such an innocent and cheerful girl, but she was crying everyday now!

Closing her reddening eyes, Nan Zhi walked into the yard with heavy steps.

As she reached the front of the two story wooden house, Nan Zhi was about to walk in when a man’s low and cold voice sounded from behind her.

“Nan Zhi.”

Nan Zhi turned around immediately.

Standing under the yard’s tree, the man was wearing a middle-length coat. He did not b.u.t.ton the coat, showing his simple but exquisite round-neck sweater and revealing the white collars of the s.h.i.+rt underneath the sweater. The khaki green casual pants added to his semi-casual outfit, making him look even more handsome and outstanding than usual.

Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows, her expression stiffening.

“Why are you here?” Nan Zhi turned around to walk towards the man. Her eyes were cold, with a hint of hatred. “You had already caused Mr Bai’s death, how do you still dare to come here?”

Mu Sihan furrowed his eyebrows, his handsome expression darkening slightly. “It’s already been a few days, but you still don’t believe me? Why do I have to admit to something that I didn’t do?”

Nan Zhi’s eyes immediately turned red. “Then where is your proof? Your closest subordinate already admitted to doing it under your orders, why are you still pretending? I’m sure that Mr Bai isn’t willing to see you either. You don’t deserve to be here. Go! Go away!”

Mu Sihan’s eyes were cold. “And if I want to go in?”

Before Nan Zhi could say anything, they heard the voice of the village head. “You still have to ask if we allow you to go in!”

Mu Sihan turned around to look at the villagers standing outside of the yard. He tightened his jaw slightly in determination, a strong and cold aura exuding from him. “Everyone, I’m truly saddened by Mr Bai’s death. But I still have to say that I didn’t kill Mr Bai.”

His cold expression, dark and deep eyes, dignified and cold aura were enough to make people both respect and fear him.

However, his explanation was not enough to make the villagers believe him.

With the village head in lead, they started to throw rotten eggs at him.

“Scram!”

“Murderer! Get lost and don’t come back!”
