Chapter 802: Kiss You, Missed You
Pei Xuan’s father was Madam Qiao’s younger brother that she doted on the most. He was also the Qiao family’s closest relatives. Although Nan Zhi did not like that family, she did not let herself show it.
Stepping forward gracefully, Nan Zhi greeted Madam Qiao and An Feng before she brought Xiaojie to the deck.
Ever since Nan Zhi had got on the cruise, Pei Xuan’s eyes kept following her like a hawk.
On this day, Nan Zhi was wearing a tight-fitting black turtleneck with a more casual and loose pair of jeans. Her shirt was tucked in while she wore a baseball cap, her long hair tied into a ponytail, making her look more youthful and energized.
Nan Yao, who was sitting next to Pei Xuan, had dolled herself up before she left. She was wearing a luxurious maxi dress that exposed her back, a pair of seven-inch high heels, while her long hair was tied into a bun on her head with two strands of hair left by the sides of her face. Just a look at her was enough to know that she had dolled up for an important occasion.
Even so, she was still unable to attract Pei Xuan’s attention.
But Nan Zhi’s simple and casual appearance caught his attention fully.
Even if Nan Yao did not like Nan Zhi, but as a woman, she had to admit that Nan Zhi’s aura was getting better by the day.
Originally, she was already tall, pretty and slender. Together with her good aura, she would radiate with a type of charm that attracted everyone’s attention no matter how simple her dressing was.
…
Yinghua Island had been planted with many cherry blossoms[1] and although it was not the cherry blossom’s blooming season, it was enough to see how caring and attentive Qiao Yanze was to Xiao Ying.
When they arrived on the island, Nan Zhi was looking around the beautifully decorated wedding venue, but somehow, there was a sense of uneasiness rising within her.
The time taken for Qiao Yanze to fall in love and get married to Xiao Ying was not long, so she had discussed about Qiao Yanze’s psychological state with Elder Dong.
Elder Dong said that if it was not because Qiao Yanze loved Xiao Ying too much, then it must be that she had used something to make him smitten to the point of irrationality.
From all of Qiao Yanze’s actions, he seemed completely fine.
He probably loved Xiao Ying too much!
Now that the two of them had a child, and were about to get married, Nan Zhi could only hope that they would be happy and that Xiao Ying was sincere about her uncle.
But she couldn’t ignore the sense of uneasiness inside her.
Qiao Yanze and Xiao Ying had arrived on the island earlier than the family, so when they saw that the Qiao family and Pei family had arrived, both Qiao Yanze and Xiao Ying moved forward to welcome them.
Xiao Ying became even prettier and energized, while Qiao Yanze had lost quite a bit of weight.
“We’ve already arranged for your hotel rooms,” Qiao Yanze greeted his guests one by one, before he walked to Nan Zhi and hugged Xiaojie. “You seem to have grown taller, but you’re still as thin as before!”
“Granduncle, I’m an average weight.”
“Yes, yes, yes, our Xiaojie baby will definitely be a charmer after he grows up!”
Once they arrived at the hotel, Nan Zhi went to find Xiao Ying and gave her a pair of diamond earrings.
There was a welcome party the night before the party, and ended about ten at night.
Nan Zhi and Xiaojie returned to their room after the party. After Xiaojie went to shower, Nan Zhi took out her phone.
She called Mu Sihan.
It rang for some time, but no one answered.
Strange. Maybe Elder Dong was in the middle of a counseling session with him?
…
Nan Zhi was almost right. Mu Sihan had put his phone upstairs while he chatted with Elder Dong downstairs. However, it was not a counseling session, but a normal chat.
“It’s been nearly three months, it’s time you finish this.”
Elder Dong stared at Mu Sihan’s well-defined facial features. “The past three months here can also be treated as a vacation with Miss Nan.”
Mu Sihan leaned back against the sofa, a cigar between his fingers as he narrowed his black eyes slightly. “This had been the most relaxed and happiest time in my life. However, knowing her, if she found out that I lied to her, she would definitely be furious.”
Elder Dong got up, patting Mu Sihan’s shoulders. “It was my idea in the first place. I will explain it to her.”
After he finished chatting with Elder Dong, Mu Sihan went upstairs.
When he returned to his room and saw a few unanswered calls on his phone, and that one of it was from Nan Zhi, he sent her a request for a video-call.
Nan Zhi had went to take a shower in the bathroom, while Xiaojie was lying on the bed. When he heard the phone ring, he picked it up.
Seeing a videocall from Mu Sihan, Xiaojie accepted the request.
“Daddy, Pretty Zhizhi is showering. She’ll sleep with me after showering, don’t be too jealous!”
The corners of Mu Sihan’s lips twitched as he stared at the brat smiling brightly in the video-call.
“Aren’t you too old to still sleep with her?”
“Then aren’t you the one acting like a child to sleep with Pretty Zhizhi?”
The moment Xiaojie finished speaking, the bathroom door was pulled open and Nan Zhi walked out wearing a nightgown. “Who’s acting like a child?”
Seeing Xiaojie having a video-call with Mu Sihan, Nan Zhi walked over to the bed. She looked even prettier after showering, her long moist black hair hanging down on her shoulders, making her skin look even more fair and smooth.
“How do you feel today?” Nan Zhi stared at Mu Sihan, her eyes gentle.
“Miss you.”
Hearing him say such a thing in front of their son made Nan Zhi’s ears flush red.
“Daddy, you’ve been with Pretty Zhizhi everyday. She’s only been out for a day but you already miss her. I can only see her once a month now and I’m not complaining. See how domineering you are?”
Before Mu Sihan could say anything, Xiaojie hugged Nan Zhi’s neck and placed a kiss on her cheek. “However, Pretty Zhizhi is mine tonight!”
Nan Zhi shook her head slightly helplessly.
The father and son were like enemies when they met each other!
If it was possible, she wanted to have a daughter with Mu Sihan as well, to give Xiaojie a younger sister. By that time, the two of them would probably stop fighting for her and be jealous of one another!
However, Xiaojie still knew what to do. After agitating Mu Sihan, he laid down on the bed obediently to sleep.
Nan Zhi brought her phone to the balcony.
Staring at the man whose expression was so dark, she laughed. “Stop being so petty.”
“I’m a child too.”
Nan Zhi replied, “That’s why I’m here to humor you. Go to sleep early and I’ll come back tomorrow.”
“Kiss.”
Nan Zhi’s face flushed. “Kids shouldn’t kiss people anyhow.”
“He kissed you.”
Seeing that he was being extremely stubborn about this, Nan Zhi could only pout her lips and kiss his face on the screen.
But after she did, she was the one who flushed completely while Mu Sihan remained normal.
…
The next day.
After Nan Zhi and Xiaojie woke up, they went to the hotel’s buffet restaurant with An Feng and Madam Qiao to have breakfast.
When they were done, Nan Zhi went to the resting room to change into her evening gown. She was just about to take off her clothes when footsteps suddenly rang behind her.
Nan Zhi turned around, seeing a woman dressed in the housekeeping uniform walk in while pushing a rubbish bin.
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows, feeling that the woman seem a little familiar.
“I’m sorry, I need to change right now. if you want to change the bins, please come back again later!”
The woman did not seem to hear Nan Zhi, as she suddenly ran forward to snatch Nan Zhi’s bag placed on the vanity table.
Nan Zhi stopped her instinctively.
Just as she was pulling her bag from the woman, a tall figure suddenly stood up from the rubbish bin. He hurriedly moved behind Nan Zhi and pressed a piece of cloth to her nose and mouth.
Nan Zhi reached out to scratch the back of the hand of that person. However, there was a drug put on the cloth and her struggles slowly weakened before stopping completely. Within seconds, her eyes blacked out and she fell unconscious.
