“Mu Sihan, why are you avoiding me lately?” She grabbed his wandering hand and asked, gasping.

  She still had the mood to ask this at this time.

  He was reluctant to answer.

  Could it be that he was afraid of her strange dislike or pitying gaze?

  Nan Zhi saw he was silent and she raised her head to kiss his ear.

  This was the first time she had kissed him like that.

  His pupils constricted and in a moment, he felt like he was about to explode.

  His eyes turned red in an instant, he turned her head over and kissed her again.

  His fingers reached underneath her skirt and touched the delicate and smooth skin between her legs.

  There seemed to be an electric current running through her skin when his calloused fingers touched it.

  Nan Zhi pressed his hand and refused to let him go on. She asked with a persistent look, “Why are you avoiding me?”


  He looked at her with his dark eyes and said in a low and husky voice, “What about you? You’re treating me so well suddenly, you’re not afraid that I’ll hurt you again?”


  “I’m afraid.” She was telling the truth. She was really afraid of his bipolar disorder, the fact that his split personality could come out anytime and that he could hurt her. But compared to her fear, she wanted to cure him more.

  She wanted him to live as himself.

  Mu Sihan’s pupils constricted when he heard her words.

  Nan Zhi wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his head down. “But I’m more afraid of never seeing you again.”


  Silence rang throughout the room.

  They looked at each other for a long time.

  He said nothing more and enveloped his lips with hers.

  It quiet all around, except for the sounds of their lips and tongues entangled together in an intensity that took her breath away.

  So, when a sudden soft cry accompanied by the sound of glass breaking sounded, Nan Zhi was shocked and Mu Sihan immediately frowned with a dark expression.

  This was followed by an old yet dignified voice. “What are you two doing?”


  The Old Madam is here?

  Nan Zhi shivered and her fuzzy consciousness sobered up in an instant. She struggled and moved away from Mu Sihan in a panic.

  Seeing his grandmother had come, Mu Sihan did not hold on to Nan Zhi forcefully but stood still.

  Nan Zhi looked at him and saw that his eyes were still red from hot desire. She then understood why he did not withdraw in time.

  “I’ll bring Grandma and Sister Xue’er down first!”


  The old lady frowned upon hearing Nan Zhi’s mistress-like tone. She called a servant to clean up the glass of milk Xue’er had accidentally broken.

  As they were going downstairs, Nan Zhi saw that the old lady seemed unwell and was walking slowly. Although Xue’er was supporting her on one side, Nan Zhi wanted to help and walked to the other side, but the old lady waved Nan Zhi’s hand away dismissively.

  Seeing the indifferent look on the old lady’s face, Nan Zhi paused slightly but very quickly, she kept up with the old lady and Xue’er’s pace.

  “Grandma, you haven’t had breakfast yet?”


  The old lady stopped and looked at Nan Zhi in a haughty manner. “Miss Nan, I’m Xue’er and Sihan’s grandmother. Not yours.”


  Nan Zhi choked. She did not know if she was thinking too much, but the old lady seemed a little fierce and cold this time.

  Although she was not very fond of her before, she had still been gentle and kind. What had changed?

  Nan Zhi bit her lip and changed how she addressed her. “Old Madam.”


  Xue’er looked at the stiff atmosphere between the old lady and Nan Zhi, and she gently shook the old lady’s arm, saying sweetly, “Grandma, Miss Nan is the girl Ah Han likes and also your the mother of your great-grandson. We will all be family in the future……”


  The old lady interrupted Xue’er’s unfinished words, “But Sihan likes you. How can we possibly become a family with her? You will also take good care of Xiaojie when Sihan marries you, right?”


  “Grandma, what are you talking about?” Xue’er looked at Nan Zhi with embarrassment. “Miss Nan, don’t take what Grandma had said to heart.”


  Nan Zhi gave a faint smile. “I know Grandma is joking. Even if Grandma thinks like that, Xiaojie won’t acknowledge any other person as his mother. Mu Sihan will also not allow such a thing to happen!”


  The old lady looked at Nan Zhi. “Miss Nan, you’re too confident in yourself.”
