Chapter 851 - I’m Here to Say Goodbye to Him (2/2)

After dinner, he left the table to give s.p.a.ce to Daddy and Pretty Zhizhi.

When it was only Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan left in the backyard, their gazes intertwined.

Nan Zhi looked at the man sitting opposite her. This was probably the last time she would be looking at him so closely!

Mu Sihan’s dark gaze kept falling onto Nan Zhi’s face. Although there was a smile on her lips, he could see that she was forcing it out.

She was not happy.

Because of the Qiao family or maybe something else.

“I heard that you met the Queen?”

It was only after his repeated questioning that Yi Fan finally told him.

From his understanding of the Queen, with this happening to the Qiao family, she would definitely not allow Nan Zhi to marry into the Royal family.

Did she say something hurtful to her?

Perhaps she wanted to back out?

Nan Zhi looked down, her teeth chewing on her bottom lip. “Sihan, I’m here to say goodbye!”

Say goodbye?

Mu Sihan’s cold eyes narrowed and his face became tensed. “What do you mean by goodbye? Why are you saying goodbye to me?”

Mu Sihan stood up and went to Nan Zhi, grabbing her slender shoulders.

He was using a lot of strength and Nan Zhi felt that her bones were about to be crushed by him. But she did not push him away and let him hold her.

There was no smile on her face and her expression had turned cold. “Sihan, I’m tired.”

Mu Sihan knitted his eyebrows.

“The Queen gave me two choices. If I stayed with you, I must break ties with the Qiao family and leave my uncle. If I want to save my uncle, with the current situation of the Qiao family, it is impossible to be involved with the Royal family anymore, so I can’t be with you.”

Mu Sihan’s eyes were slowly turning red, his hold on Nan Zhi’s shoulders tightening and his gaze was cold. “Don’t tell me you want to abandon me and Xiaojie and leave.”

“Yes.” Nan Zhi’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. To be honest, she was reluctant to part with them and when she thought that she would be separated from them, her heart felt like it was stabbed. But she had no choice.

Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi’s determined gaze and his knuckles were turning white from holding her shoulders tightly.

He swallowed and only found his voice after a while. “I’ll go and see the Queen now!”

He released her, and had just stepped forward when his waist was hugged by Nan Zhi from behind.

“You can’t change anything if you go to the Queen. The Queen had already found someone to fake Uncle’s death and arranged for him to be in a place that cannot be found.

“Sihan, you should know better than anyone that with the Qiao family’s involvement with the ‘Die’ drug, we can’t be together openly if I don’t change my ident.i.ty. It’s better to separate than to be entangled with each other so painfully!”

Over the past two days, she had thought a lot.

She even selfishly wanted him to wait for her. When Uncle got back on his feet and proved his and the Qiao family’s innocence, she would go back to him.

But who knew how long it was going to take?

Would she make him wait for a year, or two, or even longer?

How could she be so selfish?

In this world, there was no relations.h.i.+p that would not be separated by time and distance. Besides, his status was n.o.ble and before he succeeded to the throne, the Royal family would surely push for him to marry again.
