Mu Sihan had never been the type of person who indulged in empty talk and took no action.
He had a strong aura, and he was really not afraid of death!
Or, for the woman in his heart, he was not afraid of anything!
Lan Xiaozhi looked at the man’s firm gaze and cold expression, and her heart was inexplicably moved.
This person was even more aggressive than Lan Ye!
Although Lan Xiaozhi was well protected by Lan Ye, she was not a bashful person. She kept her promise and lifted her slender fingers to slowly remove the veil on her face.
At this moment, Lan Ye’s voice sounded in the cloakroom. “Xiaozhi, have you finished changing?”
Hearing his voice, Lan Xiaozhi thought of Lan Ye’s temper. If he found a strange man standing in her cloakroom, he would definitely kill him without even blinking an eye.
Lan Xiaozhi did not like to see bloodshed and she replied, “I’m not done yet. I’ll go down when I’m finished.”
“Are you feeling unwell? I’ll wait at the door and we’ll go down together.”
When Lan Xiaozhi heard this, she could not say anything else.
Lan Ye was easily suspicious. If she talked too much, it would only arouse his suspicion.
She replied with a light ‘okay’.
As she stood upright in front of the wardrobe, wanting to go out, there was a sudden numbness in her calf and she fell forward uncontrollably.
Just as she was about to fall, a slender and long arm reached out suddenly and held her firmly.
The man did not help her up immediately and her body was still suspended in air. The man bent slightly and looked down at her.
He was about the same height as Lan Ye, and there was a sense of oppression coming from him.
She was not short but she had tripped and so she was shorter than him.
His cool breath spilled onto her face, making her heart beat faster. This feeling was not about like or dislike, but a temptation.
She had to admit, this man was charming and dangerous.
Lan Xiaozhi straightened up from his arms and wanted to step back to keep an appropriate distance between a man and a woman, but the man grabbed her around the waist tightly, not letting her move.
The other hand was boldly pressing on to her b.u.t.tocks, directly pus.h.i.+ng her to him.
The strong manly scent overwhelmed Lan Xiaozhi and she felt affronted.
Even her fiancé, Lan Ye, had never done such a thing to her.
“How dare you!” She slapped his hand away, her gentle voice turning sharp.
Mu Sihan ignored her anger and the hand around her waist reached for the veil on her face.
Lan Ye, who was outside and had heard sounds, knocked on the door. “Xiaozhi, what’s wrong? I’m coming in!”
Mu Sihan had removed the veil of Lan Xiaozhi, but she had her back towards him and he could not see her. He would be able to look at her carefully if he took a few more steps forward and turned her around…
But the door to the cloakroom was pushed open immediately by the man outside.
The moment Lan Ye opened the door, he saw a dark silhouette jumping down from the cloakroom window.
His expression changed. “Who is it?!”
He went to the window in several big steps and looked down, but the figure was gone.
He turned and walked up to Lan Xiaozhi, his hand holding her slender arm and asked with a cold and sharp gaze, “Who was that?”
Lan Xiaozhi’s tender and fair arm was hurt by his grip. She frowned and winced in pain. “You’re hurting me!”
“I’m sorry.”
Lan Xiaozhi rubbed her red arm and before she could say anything, she heard Lan Ye asking angrily, “Where’s your veil?”
“I just took it off when I changed.” Although that lecherous man was annoying, he did not deserve to die. If Lan Ye knew, he would definitely kill him.
Lan Ye stared at Lan Xiaozhi for a few seconds and instructed her in a deep voice, “Wear your dress and put on your veil, then come downstairs. I’ll go and find that person right now!”
Lan Ye was about to turn and leave when Lan Xiaozhi grabbed his firm and strong arm, smiling at him. “Tonight’s your birthday, let’s not make a big fuss of it. I’ll go down with you, I know what the fellow looks like!”
