Chapter 691: A Pretty Woman Appeared Suddenly

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After Lucy was brought away, the head of the village and his family, who were asked by Mu Sihan to hide behind a hidden bush, walked over.

They had all seen what had just transpired.

It turned out they had wronged the good man. Mr Bai’s death had nothing to do with the Fourth Prince after all.

They were simple people, and this filled them all with a terrible sense of guilt, especially the head of the village. After all, he had used a stone to hurt Mu Sihan the day before.

The head of the village wanted to kneel down and apologize to Mu Sihan, though Mu Sihan hurriedly held onto him, furrowing his eyebrows as he shook his head. “Although I didn’t give the order to kill Mr Bai, but it’s still related to me. To make it up to everyone, if the village needs anything in the future, you can contact me.”

“Thank you, Your Highness.”

Mu Sihan and Nan Zhi kowtowed three times before Mr Bai’s grave, before they left one after another.

Nan Zhi stared at the man who was walking in front of her and unwilling to give her any attention. She reached her hand out to pull at his sleeves. “Are you still angry?”

That night at Crown Palace, she came out with this idea to lure out the mastermind after hearing his conversation with Yi Fan.

He did not agree at that time. After all, Lucy had gone so crazy that she even killed Mr Bai. If anything happened, she might even injure Nan Zhi.

However, she threatened him with a breakup to make him cooperate with her idea. Even if she got injured during the process, she would have no regrets. She would do anything to clear his name.

The man whose sleeve she had grabbed, shook her hand away coldly.

Nan Zhi stared at his cold back, biting her bottom lip. When this person got angry, he really was like a child that was hard to please!

A lightbulb lit up in her mind, as she suddenly shouted at him. “Aiyo!”

When the man turned around, she fell onto the floor on purpose, acting like she had tripped over.

Indeed, when the man saw that she had tripped, the ice finally started to melt.

His handsome eyebrows furrowed as he flew towards her. “Why aren’t you watching where you’re walking?”

Nan Zhi pouted, sadness written all over her face. “You’re nicer to look at than the road, so my eyes are always on you!”

Hearing her words, the corners of the man’s lips clearly twitched a little.

In the end, he still could not bring himself to see her fallen on the floor, so he reached out a well-defined hand towards her with a cold expression.

Nan Zhi held onto his hand. As he pulled her up, he suddenly tugged hard and pulled her into his embrace, before he carried her up like she was a child.

He placed both his hands under her butt, forcing her to part her legs, wrapping them around his thin waist.

Looking up, the man’s enlarged handsome face was magnified in her almond-shaped eyes.

The man’s handsome features were covered with a thin layer of frost, his low and cold voice laced with a slight unhappiness. “Look at where you’re going in the future. And don’t stare at me.”

“Why can’t I stare if you’re good-looking?!” She smiled at him, her dimples appearing.

Staring at her bright smile, Mu Sihan’s Adam’s apple bobbled, feeling his blood flow the other way, his lower abdomen heating up a little as it seemed to stir.

His black diamond-like eyes darkened slightly. “Seduce me a few more times and we probably don’t need any antidote anymore.”

Nan Zhi froze for a few seconds before she realized what he meant.

Her long lashes fluttered, a faint blush appearing on her fair ears under the sun. That pleasing color was especially eye-catching and grabbed his attention in an instant.

Mu Sihan’s eyes darkened, his handsome face leaning closer towards hers.

And then, he caught her jade-like earlobe between his lips accurately.

When the sensitive spot was wrapped by the man’s scorching hot tongue, the moist and hot feeling on her earlobe felt like an electrical current swimming through her limbs, making her tremble unconsciously.

The two of them walked back to the wooden hut lovingly.

Nan Zhi was hugged by the man’s strong and muscular arms, her head leaning on his broad and firm shoulder. Over the last few days, she had been so tense that the exhaustion had finally caught up to her. Now that her body and mind started to relax, her eyelids were battling to close.

“Let’s go back after we find Ah Long.”

Nan Zhi hummed softly in agreement.

Mu Sihan carried her with one hand, pushing the door open with his other.

At this moment, the wooden door was pulled open from inside.

“Ah Han.”

A pleasant and soft voice, with a little coyness, trailed into Nan Zhi’s ears.

Nan Zhi shivered, her sleepy mind immediately woken up as if someone had hit her on her head. All sleepiness cleared from her head.

By the time she reacted, she struggled to get down from the man’s embrace.

Turning around, she looked towards the door, only to see a beautiful woman standing there wearing a dark blue coat.

Sunlight shone on her thin body in a way that looked like she would fall from simply being blown by the wind. Her beautiful face entered Nan Zhi’s sight.

It was Xue’er.

The first time she had seen this woman was back in Ning City. Her fair skin, sharp chin, large eyes and incorruptible beauty.

Nan Zhi stared at Xue’er’s bright eyes and smiling expression, she scrunched her eyebrows a little.

She remembered Mu Sihan telling her that Xue’er had gone crazy after killing Lian Yun during their engagement party.

Seeing her now, she seemed to have completely recovered. There was no sign of craziness in her countenance at all.

To be honest, Nan Zhi did not find strange at all for Xue’er to appear here. After all, this scandal had been a hot topic in the news recently, and the village was in China. It wasn’t unexpected for Xue’er to come after seeing the news.

Nan Zhi and Mu Sihan stood by the door. Seeing that the two of them were not entering, Xue’er walked over to them.

Nan Zhi only saw the reporter tag hung around Xue’er’s neck when she was close enough.

It was as if nothing had happened in the past. Xue’er’s pretty face was void of any unhappiness or rivalry. The faint smile on her lips remained, as her gaze moved from Mu Sihan’s face to Nan Zhi. “My condition improved three months ago. I’m currently working at the Ning City Broadcasting Company and came with my colleagues for an interview in the village. I heard the villagers say that you two were here, so I came over to wait for you.”

Xue’er’s eyes were exceptionally bright, her expression open as well, as if she had stopped seeing Nan Zhi as her love rival. From her friendly expression, it was almost as though she looking at an old friend she had not seen in a long while.

Nan Zhi froze for a little while, not immediately knowing how to react.

She did not know if Xue’er was really over everything that had happened, or that she was merely acting. However, Nan Zhi could not bring herself to get along with Xue’er like nothing had happened.

Just as the atmosphere became a little awkward, another voice trailed over.

“Little Zhizhi isn’t injured, right?” Bai Ye walked out of the wooden hut, giving Nan Zhi a once over. “It seems like she’s completely injured. That’s good. His Highness made me come over with him in case anything happened to you.

“Oh right, I met a pretty reporter just now. She’s call Mu Xue’er.” Bai Ye finally noticed that something was wrong, as he looked at Xue’er, then at Mu Sihan and Nan Zhi. “Oh my god, what a small world! You all know each other?!”

Seeing that Mu Sihan had not said anything since Xue’er’s appearance, Nan Zhi pushed Bai Ye slightly. “It’s almost noon. Let’s go and cook some lunch.”
