  Nan Zhi walked one round around the exhibition, but did not see Mu Sihan at all.

  After Qiao Yanze found a way to end the conversations he had with others, he found Nan Zhi. Seeing that she was looking around, he waved his hand in front of her eyes, “Such a handsome man like me is standing in front of you, but you’re ignoring me?”


  Nan Zhi glanced towards Qiao Yanze, smiling faintly, “Mr. Qiao, can I ask what relationship you have with Nan Yao?”


  Qiao Yanze shrugged his shoulders. “We don’t have that type of relationship. She’s my niece.”


  When Qiao Yanze walked into the exhibition, several people with high statuses greeted him first, and from that, she could tell that his status in S Country was not simple.

  “Say, how did you bully our Sister Yao last time? The mother and daughter pair have a very strong prejudice against you.” After knowing Nan Zhi, Qiao Yanze felt that she was not as bad and cunning like Ding Shuman and Nan Yao had made her out to be.

  Nan Zhi did not want to continue this topic. Nan Yao was from the Qiao family, and Qiao Yanze would definitely stand on his family’s side. It would be useless for her to say anything more.

  “Mr. Qiao, let’s stop contacting each other after today!” Nan Zhi still remembered his mother’s warning for her a year ago. She did not want to experience that kind of humiliation again.

  Nan Zhi did not want to see Qiao Yanze’s reaction, walking towards the balcony outside of the exhibition instead.

  Her personality was fairly strong, and she seemed like she had some kind of hostility against him.

  Qiao Yanze narrowed his pretty eyes as he watched her slender but straight back. He did not chase after her.

  The balcony was extended out, with black railings with carved flowers extending out of the two sides of the wall. Pots of plants were placed on both sides of the wall, blocking the most secluded corner.

  Nan Zhi did not walk to the side of the wall, walking towards the center of the balcony instead. She held onto the exquisite flowers on the railing instead.

  She could not find Mu Sihan after walking around the exhibition.

  She did not know when she would have a chance to see him again.

  A cooling breeze blew over, and a faint cigarette smell entered Nan Zhi’s nose.

  There was another person on the balcony?

  Nan Zhi turned around immediately, seeing a tall figure hidden by the corner of the wall behind the large potted plant.

  The light at the balcony was slightly dimmed, and Nan Zhi could only see the shape of his silhouette faintly.

  He looked cool and deep.

  His pair of black eyes landed on her coldly like a beast attacking its prey in the forest.

  The person that she could not find after spending so much time doing so was smoking alone, standing by the corner on the balcony.

  The breeze blew the helms of her cheongsam slightly, and the slit opened up to the top of her thighs. The side profile of her legs were extremely mesmerizing, her fair, smooth skin glowing under the dim light.

  Her face seemed smaller and more charming after she had tied all of her hair up into a bun. Her fair skin, red lips, black hair all combined to exude a natural femininity.

  Every action she made was able to stir the hearts of others.

  The man’s dark eyes landed on her thighs exposed from the slit on the cheongsam. If the slit ended any higher, it would be at her indescribable place.

  Not revealing anything was actually more attractive than revealing it directly.

  Nan Zhi stared at the man’s covered face. She took a deep breath, walking towards the corner.

  He was exuding a cold aura that stopped people from approaching him. She got more nervous as the distance between them closed.

  It was because she did not know if he would agree to her request.

  She stopped when there were still several steps between them.

  The man narrowed his slightly invasive black eyes slightly, smoking once before he exhaled the smoke out slowly.

  He was as cold, dignified and arrogant as ever. However, there was an additional coldness and indifference on him that could not be ignored.

  “Are you looking for me?” There was not an ounce of temperature in his low and cold voice.

  Nan Zhi looked down, only looking back up at him when she had calmed down slightly from the nervousness. Her pretty face was indifferent. “Yes, I’m looking for you.”


  He probably knew that she had not said anything, so he did not say anything as he merely tapped the cigarette ash away. He raised an eyebrow arrogantly and coldly, looking a little like the Mu Sihan Nan Zhi was familiar with.

  Her heart tightened slightly.

  It turned out that even though she had prepared herself, she still could not act like nothing had happened when she met him again.

  However, she kept reminding herself of their different status and warned herself of her morals.

  “I haven’t seen Xiaojie in a year. Can you arrange for a time to let me meet him?”


  After Nan Zhi said finished her words, a dead silence took over.

  Her fingers slowly curled together.

  The rising smoke covered his well-defined face. “Do you think I would agree to it?”


  Nan Zhi’s long eyelashes fluttered. She stared at the tall figure in front of her. His eyes were so deep that they felt like a bottomless cold lake, like he wanted to drown a person in them.

  He smirked slightly in ridicule, noting that she did not reply, “I thought that Xiaojie’s mommy was no longer alive. Turns out, she’s still living nicely.”


  His black eyes moved from her chest to her long legs. “You look more feminine than before.”


  When he said this, his voice was extremely cold and aloof. However, his eyes made her feel like she had been teased.

  “Mr. Mu…… No, I should call you Your Highness from now. I’m Xiaojie’s mommy. Although I asked you to take care of him back then, I still have my rights to visit him……”


  Before she could finish, she heard the man chuckle softly, “Miss Nan, it’s not as simple as you seeing him when you want to and not seeing him when you don’t want to.”


  Nan Zhi furrowed her pretty eyebrows.

  It was his territory now. After he returned to the Ye family, he was even more influential than when he was a CEO. Even if she sued him, she might not necessarily win the case.

  She might instead be expelled out of the country immediately and would never be able to step foot into this country again!

  “Then, what do you want me to do?”


  The man stared into her eyes, moving to extinguish the cigarette that he had smoked. He stood straight, before he bent down a little to lean towards her.

  Nan Zhi took a few steps back instinctively.

  However, the man grabbed her wrist within the next second. He pulled hard, and the two of them changed their positions immediately. Her slender back was pressed against the hard wall.

  He supported himself with a hand pressed against the wall above her head. His black eyes were sharp, as he exuded a strong aura that felt like net to catch Nan Zhi fully. She felt like she had difficulties breathing from the action.

  The two of them stared at each other for a while. “Mr. Mu, please respect yourself.”


  Mu Sihan narrowed his hawk-like eyes as he stared at the woman that called him ‘Your Highness’ and then ‘Mr. Mu’. His sharp eyes made her feel like he wanted to pierce through her soul. His long fingers lifted her chin. “If you want to see your son, I’ll have to see how willing you are to follow my requests. Now, kiss me.”


  Nan Zhi almost thought that there was something wrong with her ears.

  He…… wanted her to kiss him?
