Chapter 853 - Gone (2/2)
Calm, but also decisive.
Wasn’t that what she chose?
“Pretty Zhizhi, I’ll be here. Don’t worry and go and take care of Granduncle!”
Nan Zhi kissed Xiaojie’s forehead. “Take good care of yourself and don’t overwork yourself during training. If you have time, come back and accompany your Daddy more!”
Xiaojie nodded.
…
Nan Zhi stood up, covered her mouth and ran outside the palace. Xiaojie chased after her a few steps but stopped.
If he went after Pretty Zhizhi, it would only make her more upset.
Nan Zhi ran for a long distance, panting and her hair soaked in sweat.
She dared not stop for a second, fearing that if she stopped, she would rush into the palace and hold Mu Sihan.
How could she bear to leave him and Xiaojie?
She loved him so much that everytime she said she wanted to leave him, her heart was even more pain and miserable than him!
But she had no other way.
After running for a while, a black SUV drove over from the darkness and stopped beside Nan Zhi.
“Miss Nan, I’m sent by Her Majesty to pick you up.”
Nan Zhi wiped the tears from her face and nodded. “Okay.”
Getting into the SUV, Nan Zhi looked out of the window, looking at the slowly disappearing Crown Palace. She put her forehead against the window and tried to calm her turbulent mood.
Mu Sihan and Xiaojie…
They were the people hidden deep in heart that she could never forget.
…
The SUV stopped at an inconspicuous pier.
The chauffeur looked at the listless Nan Zhi and reminded her, “Miss Nan, because of Young Master Qiao’s special status, your mother and him are in the storage room of the cargo s.h.i.+p. Sorry to put you in such inconvenience.”
Nan Zhi nodded. “It’s alright. Thank you.”
The chauffeur handed a doc.u.ment bag to Nan Zhi. “This is Young Master Qiao’s new ident.i.ty. Her Majesty said that since you have chosen this road, you have to keep your promise to her, otherwise the closest people to you will be implicated.”
Nan Zhi took the doc.u.ment bag and nodded. “I understand.”
…
When she arrived at the storage room of the warehouse, Nan Zhi saw Qiao Yanze lying on the bed, covered in wounds. She asked An Feng, “Mom, Uncle he…”
“When I saw him, he was already beaten up, and he isn’t in a good mood. He was awake for a while just now, but didn’t eat or drink, he only sat there looking dazed. I called him but he ignored me.” An Feng looked pale and haggard too. She looked at Nan Zhi, who followed them to suffer after the Qiao family got into trouble and her heart ached. “Have you spoken to the Crown Prince?”
Nan Zhi nodded. “Yes.” Touching Qiao Yanze’s forehead, Nan Zhi found that he was having a fever and said hurriedly, “Mom, let’s not talk about me anymore. The most important thing for us to help Uncle get better.”
…
Mu Sihan stood in front of the French windows in his bedroom, watching the darkness engulf the night outside.
After a long time, he suddenly lowered his head and laughed bitterly.
Stubbing out the cigarette in his hand, he lay on the bed, turned off the lights and plunged himself into the darkness.
The temperature indoor was just right, neither cold nor hot, but he felt unusually cold.
She was gone. She had really left!
