Chapter 854 - He Looked at The Woman with A Dazed Look (1/2)

In the dark and quiet bedroom, Mu Sihan was looking at the ceiling without any expression.

The curtains had been drawn by the remote control. There was no trace of light in the room.

His eyes were opened and he listened to his own heavy breathing.

His mind was blank but his heart was in pain.

How could he stop it from hurting, from feeling?

He stared blankly at the ceiling for some time and only after a long time did he drift into the arms of slumber.

When he woke up, he felt a soft and warm body in his arms.

He subconsciously embraced the small body.

“Kitten.” He called her habitually.

The small body snuggled into his arms and a child’s voice sounded, “Daddy, you’re holding me so tightly I can’t breathe!”

His eyes shot open.

The curtains had been drawn apart slightly, and the gentle rays of white light shone in from the window, landing on him and the little fellow in his arms.

Mu Sihan opened his eyes and frowned when he saw that the person in his arms was Xiaojie and not Nan Zhi.

“Why are you here?” He said expressionlessly. He moved his body and the silk blanket slid off his body, showing his firm and muscular chest.

The strap to his night robe was untied and he got out of bed, tying it up again.

His well-defined face seemed distant under the rays of light s.h.i.+ning in from outside.

Xiaojie, wearing a set of small pajamas, half knelt on the bed, looked at the expressionless Mu Sihan and muttered unhappily, “Daddy, Pretty Zhizhi left, but you still have me.”

Mu Sihan glanced at Xiaojie. “You’re not going back to the training camp?”

“I am.”

“In the future, you’ll come home once a year, like other children.”

Xiaojie jumped down from the bed, hugging Mu Sihan’s waist. “Pretty Zhizhi asked me to come back more to accompany you!”

Pulling away Xiaojie’s hands on his waist, Mu Sihan narrowed his eyes that looked dark under the backlight. “No need.”

Xiaojie looked at Daddy, who looked really upset after Pretty Zhizhi left. He rubbed his short hair and thought for a while with his head tilted. How could he help Daddy be happy again? What could he do?

There was a widow’s peak on Xiaojie that was not that obvious, his facial features were delicate and pretty. It was clear he had inherited Nan Zhi’s good skin and would not get tanned, and his long and narrow dark eyes were the same as Mu Sihan’s.

Mu Sihan realized that he had vented his discontent with Nan Zhi’s departure on Xiaojie and he bent down, rubbing his head. “Okay, your Mommy has left. You have to learn well in the training camp and Daddy will work hard for work.”

Xiaojie retreated a few steps, his small body suddenly straightened, saluting Mu Sihan with a military salute with his small hand. “Yes, Daddy.”

Seeing his rigid and serious demeanor, Mu Sihan lips twitched in amus.e.m.e.nt.

…

After Xiaojie returned to the training camp, there was only Mu Sihan left in Crown Palace. Actually, there was not only him, but also Butler Yi, Elder Dong and countless servants… But without Nan Zhi beside him, he felt cold and lonely.

Elder Dong counseled him for three days.

It was only then that his anxious and uneasy mood start to improve.

After his morning swim, he went to the bathroom to take a bath. A towel was wrapped around his waist and he stood in front of the wardrobe, picking out an expensive black s.h.i.+rt.

Drops of water were still dripping from his hair.

The face in the mirror was cold and deep-set like it was carved painstakingly by a craftsman, handsome without any flaws.

His slender fingers b.u.t.toned up the exquisite b.u.t.tons one by one. Putting on a black overcoat, he went down the stairs with elegant steps.
