Chapter 744 - A Secret (1) (2/2)

This was something that was extremely hard for him.

It was enough proof of how much he loved that woman!

His love was so strong that he was willing to let go for her safety!

Although he had a high status, he was not a G.o.d. There would still be malevolent people in the shadows, wanting to trick him no matter how strong he was.

He may be able to protect his woman one or two times, but was he able to protect her forever?

Mu Sihan stared at the ocean that seemed to blend together with the dark sky, his handsome appearance becoming blurry under the smoke from the cigarette.

“I used to think that I would be able to protect her completely if I became the Crown Prince. But I ignored the fact that there would never be a peaceful day when I’m in the middle of all the power.”

Bo Yan patted Mu Sihan’s shoulder. “Don’t take Xiaojie’s words to heart too much. He’s still a kid, and he’s bound to be slightly emotional. How things between Nan Zhi and you will go will still depend on her thoughts after she returns to the country and regains her memories!”

Mu Sihan nodded. “Naturally.”

…

On the speedboat.

Lan Yanzhi carried Xiaojie, whose face was covered in tears.

He wiped his tears away with his fingers. “Uncle Yanzhi knows that you miss Pretty Zhizhi, but your Daddy definitely misses her as much as you do. In fact, he’s in more pain because he blames himself and feel guilty for what has happened. But Baby Jie, you’ve been in the Royal family for almost two years now, you should know that there are many things that are not up to us when we’re in the Royal family.

“It’s not that your Daddy cannot protect your Mommy, it’s just that the bad guys are too bad. Their plans are always enough to take all of us without warning. Your Daddy is the Crown Prince, your Mommy is the Duke’s granddaughter, their relations.h.i.+p will never be ordinary. Baby Jie, when you grow up in the future, you will go through many things as well, so you need to be mentally prepared for it!”

Xiaojie stopped crying, looking down at his toes as he said softly, “I shouldn’t have said those mean things to Daddy.”

It was just that he had missed Pretty Zhizhi too much, saying those things in anger and sadness after he saw that Daddy didn’t bring Pretty Zhizhi over!

Actually, he knew that his Daddy was the one in most pain ever since Pretty Zhizhi left their side!

…

After Lan Xiaozhi returned to the castle with Lan Ye in the helicopter, she went to take a shower in the bathroom.

Standing under the shower, she stared at the red bite mark on her chest, her fingers caressing it unconsciously.

He had done something so perverted to her, but she did not say anything to Lan Ye on their way back.

If Lan Ye and her were really engaged to each other, was tonight considered as her betraying him? That she was cheating on him?

She moved her eyes away from her chest, before she closed her eyes. She wiped the water beads on her face, her fingers finding her lips once more.

The scorching hot and intimate feeling of when the man was kissing her roughly still lingered on her lips.

She was clearly unfamiliar with him, feeling embarra.s.sed and angry at him, though she could not deny the fluttering and tingling feeling in her heart.

She did not think that she was a promiscuous woman. Even when faced with the handsome and mature Lan Ye, she had never felt anything for him.

Walking out from the bathroom, Lan Xiaozhi stared at Lisa who had brought in her supper. She sat by the bed, her slender and fair legs swinging. “Lisa, if you like a person, would you desire him?”

Lisa did not know why Lan Xiaozhi asked this, but she nodded. “I think so!”

Lan Xiaozhi cupped her cheeks with her hands, furrowing her exquisite eyebrows. “But, Lan Ye doesn’t seem to desire me.”

“Miss, Master is so good to you, please don’t think about such nonsensical things.”

Lan Xiaozhi smiled brightly. “He is indeed very nice to me, but…” Lan Xiaozhi’s expression changed suddenly, her eyes turning cold. “Did he love a woman deeply before me?”

“Miss, Master has never been nice to any woman except you, apart from…”
