  Apart from Mu Sihan, there were four more men sitting in the living room.

  One of them was Bo Yan, dressed in the military uniform, while the other three were military officers that Nan Zhi did not know, though she seemed to have seen them on television before.

  They were talking and the living room was filled with smoke.

  “We’ll head out at 9 a.m. sharp tomorrow! The situation at Yukou border is very critical right now, as the enemy came prepared. We all have to be mentally prepared……” Mu Sihan said lowly, moving his black eyes away from the map on the table when no one replied to him. He followed the eyes of where the others were looking at, as he looked towards the room door as well.

  All he saw was Nan Zhi, with only a towel wrapped around her, standing there beautifully.

  She had just finished showering and had yet to dry her hair, as crystal-like water beads fell from her beautiful face.

  Her neck that was as pretty as a white swan was covered with red marks left by him.

  Mu Sihan’s eyes darkened as his well-defined face tensed up. He chided, “Go in!”


  Having heard their conversation, Nan Zhi immediately regained her senses, her face flushing when she realized that she was still only covered in a towel. She gripped onto the towel tightly, bowing apologetic to the people staring at her before she hurriedly returned to the room.

  The atmosphere in the living room was filled with a deafening silence.

  Mu Sihan’s expression was extremely dark. No one knew if it was because others had found out about Nan Zhi, or if it was because she was wearing too little and let others see her arms and legs……

  After Nan Zhi returned to the room, her heart was still thumping crazily.

  Although she knew there would be a wardrobe malfunction with the towel wrapped around her tightly, the scene was still enough to make others think otherwise……

  She did not know if this would lead to a bad consequence for him.

  However, she did not care about all these for now, her mind filled with the words of him going to the battlefield.

  He was leaving tomorrow morning!

  Her heart tensed up unconsciously……

  After the other officials left, Mu Sihan and Bo Yan were the only ones left in the living room.

  Bo Yan took out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his pockets, resting both his long legs on the coffee table as he lit up a cigarette.

  He looked up a little, slight irritation appearing on his usually indifferent face as he stared at the man who was smoking as well. “You’re really unable to let go of any opportunity. You satisfied your animalistic desires before you called us over?”


  Mu Sihan narrowed his dark eyes, smiling slightly. “Jealous?”


  “You should think about how to explain it to her instead. She still doesn’t know that you’re going to the battlefield, right?”


  Mu Sihan tapped the cigarette ash off his cigarette in the ashtray. “I was planning to tell her after you all left.”


  Bo Yan seemed to have thought about something, moving to stand up from the sofa. “Then I’ll go bid her farewell as well.”


  Mu Sihan watched Bo Yan leave.

  After the living room regained its silence, Mu Sihan put out the cigar before he walked towards the bedroom with his long legs.

  Mu Sihan pushed the bedroom door opened, walking towards the woman who appeared a little dazed as she sat by the end of the bed. He hugged her. “Did you hear everything?”


  Nan Zhi looked up with her long eyelashes. Staring at the man’s well-defined and handsome face, she was a little angry, unhappy and looked towards the man with an expression full of reproach.

  Seeming to have read her thoughts, the man lifted her chin, leaning towards her as his scorching warm breath sprayed all over her face. “Are you worried for me?”


  Nan Zhi’s slender fingers grabbed the man’s strong and muscular arms, asking with a trembling voice, “Are you going onto the battlefield in person?”


  Mu Sihan hummed softly, “If I win, I’ll come back to marry you.”


  Nan Zhi’s eyelashes fluttered terribly.

  “If I die on the battlefield, you should find someone nice to marry.” He knew that the Qiao family would definitely acknowledge An Feng and her. Even if he really had to sacrifice himself, Xiaojie and her would have the Qiao family to back them up.

  Nan Zhi’s heart immediately clenched at his words.

  However, she could not say anything……

  He was destined to not have an ordinary life with his identity.

  Being afraid of war and death and hiding away was not something that he would do either.

  The moment he returned to the Ye family and became a Prince, he had the responsibility to protect his nation and his people.

  However, everything was everchanging on the battlefield, and bullets had no eyes. His high status was not a medallion that spared him from death……

  Nan Zhi lifted her fingers, pressing them against his scarlet lips. She glared at him with red eyes. “You’re not allowed to say such bad things!”


  Mu Sihan took her hand away, leaning down to kiss her lips. “I’ll protect myself properly.”


  The two continued to talk for a while before Mu Sihan got up to go take a shower.

  Nan Zhi was zoning out on the bed.

  Although he had a heavy burden and responsibility for his nation, people, land and peace, she was still worried and anxious for him.

  From what she knew, she had always thought that going onto a battlefield was something very distant for her.

  “Kitten, bring me my underwear from my luggage.”


  Hearing his voice, Nan Zhi hummed vaguely.

  She got up and went to open the black leather luggage he placed in front of the wardrobe.

  There were only several simple clothes in the luggage, and she found his underwear in a small bag inside the luggage.

  She was about to take it out when she happened to spot an embroidered box placed in a corner of the luggage.

  From the design of the box, it should be……

  Nan Zhi bit her lip, unexpectedly taking the box instead.

  She opened the box, seeing the set of couple diamond rings placed.

  The cutting of the diamond and workmanship of the ring were all to her liking……

  “Do you like it?”


  The man’s low and magnetic voice suddenly trailed from above her. Nan Zhi turned immediately, her heart suddenly thumping crazily as she stared at the man that had unknowingly stood behind her.

  Her throat was slightly dry, as she opened and closed her scarlet lips. It took her a while to finally find her voice. “You-you’re giving this to me?”


  Mu Sihan bent down, pressing his firm chest against Nan Zhi’s back as his long arm stretched over her neck to take the ring from her hands.

  “If I come back with a victory, I’ll make up the proposal then.” He pulled her hand up, moving to place the ring on her slender ring finger.

  Just as the ring was about to touch her, she took the ring away as she stared at him with glimmering eyes. “I’m not going to wear it yet. I’ll wear it when you come back and propose to me properly.”


  Mu Sihan laughed loudly. “You’re a sly little thing.”


  Nan Zhi looked down at the ring in her palm, her eyes slightly moist with tears.

  However, the her now would have never thought that she would never be able to wait for him to help her wear this ring personally, even after the war had ended!

  He did not pull her to ‘exercise’ again at night, falling asleep very quickly as he hugged her soft and fragrant body.

  Nan Zhi pulled his large hand away from her waist, getting off the bed lightly as she changed and left the hotel speedily without turning back……

  Yan Hua had officially debuted in the entertainment industry. Her single had climbed the various music charts at a frightening speed, marking her talent, voice and appearance at the top of the lists. She burst into fame, as various meetings and events were added into her busy schedule.

  She was filming an advertisement at night, and it was nearly two a.m. by the time they were done.

  She walked out of the photography studio with her assistant. Seeing an empty taxi, her assistant pulled the door open for her and the two of them got on the taxi.
