“What’s wrong? Are you injured?”

Mu Sihan closed his black eyes, eyebrows furrowing tightly, looking as if he was in terrible pain.

Nan Zhi had heard the sound of his head hitting the tree earlier. She reached out unconsciously to touch the back of his head, though her fair wrist was held tightly by a large hand in the next second.

The temperature of the large hand against her slightly cool skin felt like it was molten lava trying to burn her.

Nan Zhi’s long lashes fluttered.

Furrowing her eyebrows, she pulled her hand back with all of her strength, trying to stand up from his embrace.

However, he held onto her slender waist tightly, pressing her on him, unwilling to let go.

Nan Zhi was extremely angry.

Her well-defined almond-shaped eyes turned slightly cold as she glared at him with a poker face. “You’re pretending to be injured to lie to me, aren’t you?”

Mu Sihan opened his eyes to stare at Nan Zhi. His eyes were dark and deep like two wormholes wanting to suck her in.

No matter how terrible the situation he was in now, he was still exuding a dignified and mature masculinity from head to toe.

Especially when he stared at her with slightly narrowed eyes.

It was exceptionally s.e.xy and charming.

Some men were like this. How was it that he could extremely charming and irresistible, even when he wasn’t doing anything?

Nan Zhi was almost sucked into his dark eyes. Suppressing the fluttering in her heart, she pushed the hand on her waist with all of her strength before she stood up.

Taking a seat by the side, she brushed off the dirt and leaves on her.

When she was with him, she would be framed by people from time to time, and would get on the news headlines as well. It was undeniable that she was under even more pressure and attention compared to normal people.

She could not be like a normal girl and enjoy being in a relations.h.i.+p with him freely. They had to be careful and cautious when faced with the heavy scrutiny and attention of the public eye.

If they did anything considered to be ‘wrong’, they would be attacked and heavily criticized.

Although her mental strength had been trained to be very strong, she would still feel exhausted at times.

If she was not in a relations.h.i.+p with a Prince that was above everyone else, would she be more relaxed? Would things have been easier?

However, even if it was exhausting, she had never regretted anything.

She could be unconcerned with everything, except for Xue’er. It was the only thorn in her heart that she could not remove.

She could understand him finding a doctor to treat Xue’er.

But why did he ask Xue’er to look for him in S Country?

Mu Sihan sat up as well. Staring at the woman’s tensed side profile, he reached his hand out to pat her head softly.

Scrunching her face, she ignored him.

Mu Sihan pursed his lips, moving to crouch down in front of the woman. Leaning into her ear, he spoke with a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Are you jealous? Don’t forget that your Brother Gu Sheng is still in the Capital.”

Nan Zhi immediately turned around to glare at him.

His well-defined handsome face was terribly close to hers, and the moment she turned around, her soft lips accidentally grazed his cheek.

She moved away instinctively.

However, in the next second, her pretty face was cupped by his large palms.

His hands fondled her cheeks forcefully.
