  Nan Zhi never thought that Mu Sihan and Shangguan Wan did not register their marriage, and had only held a wedding ceremony.

  In that case, the two of them were indeed not a real married couple.

  It was even more unexpected that Mu Sihan had returned to the Ye family for Xiaojie.

  Shangguan Wan had already said things so blatantly. If Nan Zhi still could not guess what Mu Sihan had done for Xiaojie, then she would really be an idiot.

  After Xiaojie got diagnosed with leukemia, it had been hard to find a suitable bone marrow for him.

  It was not easy to find a match with Brother Gu Sheng, but he had passed away.

  Even if Mu Sihan was rich, it was definitely not easy to find a suitable bone marrow for Xiaojie in such a short period of time.

  The Ye family probably approached him when Xiaojie was in a critical condition!

  Was the condition to save Xiaojie for Mu Sihan to return to the Ye family and get married to Shangguan Wan?

  Nan Zhi’s long eyelashes fluttered, as her grip on the cup of lemon juice tightened to the point that her knuckles turned white. Her voice was a little choked, “I didn’t know he experienced so much pressure.”


  She had read his diary, that he had always been seen as a jinx by the Ye family. The Ye family only liked Ye Qing, and never him, which was why he was banished from the family when he was twelve-years-old. For a child that age, it must have been a really strong blow.

  If Ye Qing was still alive, the Ye family definitely would not let him return.

  To the Ye family, he was always Ye Qing’s shadow and substitute.

  When Xiaojie was in critical condition, Mu Sihan must have felt really complicated. When she fell down the cliff, she told him to take good care of Xiaojie.

  He could not bear to see his son leave the world, which was why he had given up his freedom and hatred, ultimately succumbing to being used by his father when he returned to the Ye family.

  A thin layer of moisture covered Nan Zhi’s eyes.

  “He didn’t tell you all this, right?” Shangguan Wan sighed. “Actually, it’s partly my fault too. When we agreed to get married, we promised each other that we would not tell anyone about our marriage status as it would implicate too many things.”


  Nan Zhi nodded, showing her understanding.

  A marriage union between nobility was not only between two people, but two families and a country.

  Nan Zhi sipped on the lemon juice, before she bit her lips with her white teeth. “I saw the news that the two of you have a child……”


  Shangguan Wan froze, before she smiled and shook her head. “This is counted as my scandal. Miss Nan, can I trust you?”


  Nan Zhi stared at Shangguan Wan. “I’m not the type to gossip. However, if it’s a secret, it’s better not to tell me.”


  Shangguan Wan broke into a soft giggle. “Only Sihan and I know about this. However, because you’re the most important person to Sihan, it’s fine if I tell you. If not, you might misunderstand and be jealous.”


  Nan Zhi was speechless. Why was Shangguan Wan’s personality so good? She felt a little embarrassed now.

  Shangguan Wan leaned towards her, before she glanced around them. Noting that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered, “My Xingxing is not Mu Sihan’s child. We’re not a real couple, why would we sleep with each other?”


  Nan Zhi was speechless once more. It seemed she had no idea what to expect from Shangguan Wan. The woman had blown all of her expectations out of the water.

  This kind of thing was really a secret. If it was leaked, both Mu Sihan and Shangguan Wan would be affected greatly.

  “Actually, even I do not know who Little Xingxing’s father is, but it’s alright. I will raise Little Xingxing by myself in the future. However……” Shangguan Wan glanced at Nan Zhi in slight apology. “Before Sihan manages to wield power, we will still be a couple to the public eye while he will still be Xingxing’s known father. Miss Nan, I hope you won’t mind that. It’s really because the situation now is really unstable and we’re still tied down by many things. Because of this, I’m afraid you will have to suffer for a little as a result.”


  Nan Zhi did not know that she would find out about so many things from Shangguan Wan today. Being shocked was an understatement.

  Although she knew that she had misunderstood Mu Sihan now, it was still best if she did not cause any trouble for him since the situation was still unstable, like Shangguan Wan had said.

  As for whether or not they could be together, it would have to depend on their fate.

  “Wan Er, thank you for telling me all of this.”


  If she did not tell her, the relationship between Mu Sihan and her would only worsen.

  The hardest part about maintaining a relationship was withstanding the friction of time and unending misunderstandings between the parties involved.

  Sometimes, if they missed each other, the relationship would be over for the rest of their lives.

  Shangguan Wan took a sip of the lemon juice and shook her head with a smile. “You don’t have to thank me. It’s good if you don’t get jealous of me. After all, Sihan and I aren’t each other’s cup of tea.”


  “If I were a boy, I would definitely like you, Wan Er.” Her easy-going and charming personality would really create a good impression for everyone.

  The two of them had chatted for almost half an hour when Shangguan Wan suddenly remembered something and hit her head lightly. “Oh no.”


  Nan Zhi glanced at Shangguan Wan, immediately understanding what she was worried about. The two of them stood up together.

  They immediately rushed towards the private room.

  Nan Zhi recalled Qiao Yanze telling her about fighting with Mu Sihan back when they were playing golf. The two of them were also quiet after entering the private room, as invisible tension seemed to swim amongst the silence.

  Not to mention, Nan Zhi had told Mu Sihan that she was planning to date Qiao Yanze in the changing room……

  In the private room.

  The ambassador stared at the two men who had started to challenge each other’s drinking limits and his jaw dropped.

  One of them was the Fourth Prince, while the other was the Duke’s son.

  Did the two of them have some kind of strong hatred for each other? Did they have to challenge each other so vehemently?

  Could it be that their political stances were different? Did Young Master Qiao secretly support the Prince to become S Country’s king?

  While a million thoughts ran through the ambassador’s mind, Mu Sihan and Qiao Yanze had each finished two bottles of hard liquor.

  With the high alcohol content of the imported alcohol they were drinking, he would definitely be drunk after drinking at most one bottle.

  The two of them were so good at it that he really respected them for it!

  By the time Nan Zhi and Shangguan Wan re-entered the private room, the two men were already drinking their third bottle.

  One of them was aloof but handsome, while the other was also good looking in a devilish way.

  One of them had a very strong aura, while the other had a devilish one.

  Neither of them conceded to the other, as a silent fire burned in the room.

  Watching as the two of them downed the alcohol with gusto while taking another bottle at the same time, Nan Zhi and Shangguan Wan glanced at each other. It was as if they had discussed it earlier, as one immediately walked towards Mu Sihan while the other walked towards Qiao Yanze.

  “Alright, stop drinking, both of you!” Shangguan Wan snatched the bottle of alcohol Mu Sihan was holding onto. Nan Zhi had also taken away Qiao Yanze’s bottle at the same time.

  Qiao Yanze’s devilishly handsome face was red, as his tall figure leaned against the back of the chair. He panted a few times, before he narrowed his eyes drunkenly at the woman beside her. He lifted his hand, and grabbed her wrist. “Zhizhi, let’s go. Help me leave.”


  Nan Zhi glanced at Shangguan Wan, who hurriedly replied, “Let’s get these two men into the car first!”


  Once they reached the hotel’s entrance, Shangguan Wan got Qiao Yanze’s driver to send the ambassador back, while she got Mu Sihan’s driver to send the two drunk men back.
