The car continued to drive forward for a while before Nan Zhi sucked in a deep breath, not able to resist the urge to break the silence. “Erm… I still have to thank you for taking me out.”
The man did not speak.
Silence.
It was still deadly silent.
Nan Zhi pursed her lips, staring at the man’s perfect, handsome face. “You can let me off here by the road!”
The man stepped on the brakes immediately the moment she finished her words.
A loud screech rang in her ears, and Nan Zhi’s body leaned forward from the impact.
When she managed to stabilize herself, he stepped on the accelerator immediately again.
Nan Zhi was still frightened from what happened.
She furrowed her eyebrows tightly. “Mu Sihan?”
The man stared at her coldly. “You still kissed me even though you know that it wasn’t me?”
Nan Zhi froze for a few seconds before she realized what he meant.
“You know what happened?” She stared at him in confusion.
In the past, he never retained his memories during the times Ye Qing took over his body. However, he suddenly got a feeling when she kissed him earlier, and he did all he could to break the barrier to regain control of himself…
Mu Sihan tightened his hold on the steering wheel, as the veins on the back of his hands popped up. He did his best to control his emotions so that he did not lash out in anger. “You’re not allowed to kiss anyone but me!”
Nan Zhi’s lips twitched.
Even though Ye Qing was his alternate personality, it was still him!
No matter whether he was perfect or was flawed, he was still Mu Sihan!
Nan Zhi sighed silently in her heart. She was worried and sympathized for his condition.
However, she was no longer with him now and had lost the right to accompany him in facing his treatment!
His wife should be the one to accompany him!
Remembering the conversation she heard at the back of the castle’s garden, she lowered her long eyelashes slowly.
“I only did that tonight because I had no other choice. I’m sorry, it won’t happen again.”
Mu Sihan furrowed his eyebrows, glancing at her with his cold eyes. He immediately understood what she meant when he saw the cold and distant expression she had.
She was still trying to cut ties with him.
Pursing his lips together into a tight line, he did not say anything, though he increased the speed of the car.
…
The Rolls-Royce finally stopped at a luxurious residential estate.
The man did not unlock the door, only moving to take a cigar out from the storage compartment. He placed the cigar between his lips before he took a small lighter to light the cigar.
The gray smoke blurred his appearance, making him look even more serious and hard to approach.
The two of them did not speak, and the car was so quiet that they could only hear each other’s breathing.
When she smelled the faint smell of the cigarette, Nan Zhi turned her head to look out of the car.
This silence made her feel somewhat uneasy.
They were once so close and intimate with each other. But they had now become strangers that had nothing to say to each other even though they were sitting together.
It felt like a century had passed when the man finally broke the silence with his hoarse voice after he finished smoking the cigar, “Get off.”
Nan Zhi pursed her lips, pushing the car door open before she got off the car.
She was about to walk out of the estate when the man who had also got off the car walked over to grab her wrist.
His scorching temperature felt like he could burn someone. Nan Zhi’s heart skipped a beat, as she asked unconsciously, “Did you take your medicine?”
“Go up with me first.”
Nan Zhi did not move.
Surprisingly, his expression did not darken, and he did not lose his temper. He merely stared at her with his dark eyes. “I know that you don’t want to be tied up with me anymore. But, don’t you want to see the brat in the future still?”
Nan Zhi’s breath tightened, “What do you mean?”
“Follow me.”
There was no other choice but for Nan Zhi to follow him to take the elevator to the penthouse.
The penthouse was a large luxurious apartment that had a 360 degree view surrounding the building. The interior was decorated nicely, in a luxurious, elegant but warm manner.
Confusion appeared on Nan Zhi’s pretty face. “Why did you bring me here?”
“This will be the place where you meet the brat in the future. The security here is better, and I’ll be more at ease if you stay here.” He walked towards the bar table and took out a few bottles of alcohol. He continued as he opened the bottles, “I’ll arrange for two bodyguards to follow you regardless of where you go in the future.”
Nan Zhi wanted to say that she did not need bodyguards. However, if something like today happened again, she might not be so lucky to escape it again.
He glanced at her with his dark eyes, “Come over and drink this cup of alcohol. Our relationship will come to an end with it.”
Nan Zhi’s eyes constricted a little as she stared at his eyes.
She clearly did not expect him to change the topic so quickly.
He raised an eyebrow at her, noting that she was still standing there without moving, “What? You can’t bear to part with me now?”
Nan Zhi walked towards the bar table, taking a seat on the high chair. She stared at his well-defined handsome face and dark eyes, before she said, “I’ll only come here when I meet Xiaojie once a week. Also, there’s no need for the bodyguards. I’ll pay more attention to my own safety in the future.”
She originally thought that she would not feel sad. However, she still could not help but feel… something, when she heard him saying that everything would come to an end.
The man did not say anything, taking out a mixing shaker from the cupboards.
Nan Zhi looked at him in slight surprise, “You know how to mix alcohol as well?”
Mu Sihan’s lips curled up slightly, “What you’ve lost is a man who can do everything.”
Nan Zhi really wanted to roll her eyes at him.
She had seen her fair share of narcissistic men, but no one had been as narcissistic as he was!
It was not her first time seeing someone mix alcohol fancily as well. Several young men at the bars would often show off their ability to attract the screams of a group of ladies.
The way Mu Sihan mixed alcohol was different from the young men at the bars. He did not overly show off his skills and would only show a clean action occasionally as he mixed the alcohol, though it seemed very tasteful as well.
He folded his sleeves up, revealing his muscular and strong arms and his expensive watch. The orange-hued lights fell on his head, making his handsome face look even more handsome.
He was serious and attentive when he was mixing the alcohol. His long eyelashes were slightly lowered, while his lips were curled up slightly and he looked exceptionally handsome but arrogant as well.
Nan Zhi was slightly jaw-dropped as she watched as he threw the mixing cup up in the air and the mixed alcohol fell into the two martini glasses. “You’re not too bad, Your Highness.”
It had been years since Mu Sihan had mixed any alcohol. When he mixed alcohol for the first time, Ye Qing was his audience.
And now, it was her.
He pushed the mixed alcohol in front of her. “Have a taste.”
Nan Zhi glanced at him, as he took the other cup and took a sip of the alcohol slowly.
At this, Nan Zhi started drinking the mixed drink with small sips as well.
It was sour, but sweet. It was also a little spicy, and it tasted pretty good.
She finished the glass of alcohol within seconds.
After she was done, she looked up, staring at the man who had barely drank any more. “As a man, do you really have to drink so slowly?”
“Foolish little Kitten, you’ll be drunk if you drink too fast.”
