Chapter 544 - Faithful
Nan Zhi did not expect that Shangguan Wan had wanted to talk to her about her saving her.
However, she had left immediately after she shouted that the police was there…
Shangguan Wan had probably noticed Nan Zhi’s confusion and explained with a smile, “After you left, I was afraid that Ye Yanfeng would regain his senses and check the CCTV. He’s usually ruthless and might harm you if he managed to find out who the busybody was. I deleted the CCTV footage after I watched it, so you don’t have to worry either.”
Nan Zhi stared at Shangguan Wan, who was smiling brightly. She suddenly realized that this woman’s personality was rather nice, and she was not arrogant like other nobilities were. She looked extremely happy when she smiled, making others gain a better impression of her.
At the thought of what she had done with Mu Sihan a few nights ago, Nan Zhi could not help but feel even more guilty.
No matter what, Shangguan Wan was his wife. Mu Sihan and her were in the wrong the moment they did it.
“Your Highness, you don’t have to worry too much about me helping you that time. I just did what I could, it’s nothing.”
Shangguan Wan stared at Nan Zhi through the mirror. Her face was only the size of a palm, her facial features were flawless while her almond-shaped eyes were bright and pretty…
“It might be nothing to you, but you’re my savior to me! However, why do I still find you slightly familiar? I feel like I’d seen you somewhere else apart from the CCTV footage…”
Shangguan Wan held onto her chin with her pretty fingers. She furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to recall. Suddenly, her eyes brightened up. “I remember now!”
Nan Zhi’s heart clenched once in surprise from Shangguan Wan’s actions.
She had always been very open with her actions and had never done anything wrong to others. That was why she really felt very guilty towards Shangguan Wan.
“I’ve seen you in Sihan’s wallet!”
Shangguan Wan’s words were really shocking.
Nan Zhi opened her mouth and gaped, not knowing what to say.
The atmosphere immediately turned dead and frozen.
“Your surname is Nan right? Miss Nan, can we have a chat in the lobby?”
Nan Zhi’s scalp tingled and she felt like her brain had turned into mush. However, she could not run away from it since Shangguan Wan was the one who requested it. She could only nod with confusion in her heart.
“Alright.”
…
Shangguan Wan found an empty table by the corner of the lobby. When Nan Zhi walked over, she smiled as she said, “I ordered a cup of lemon juice for you.”
Noting that Shangguan Wan’s expression did not seem like she wanted to start a fight, Nan Zhi smiled and nodded. “Thank you.”
After the two of them sat down, Nan Zhi looked at Shangguan Wan. Her right hand was tapping the table lightly, and Nan Zhi’s eyes immediately fell on the diamond ring on her ring finger.
It was sparkling and eye-catching. It was obvious that its marksmanship was brilliant.
Nan Zhi merely glanced at it before she moved her eyes away. Her expression was calm, and no one could read any of her emotions.
Shangguan Wan noticed that Nan Zhi had glanced at her ring, laughing heartily, “I’m actually not used to wearing jewelry. I still think that guns are the most suitable for me. However, there’s no other choice. I have to wear it every time I come out with Sihan. Otherwise, if the media catch it, they will start stupid rumors again.”
Nan Zhi looked at Shangguan Wan, noticing that she looked like she really despised the ring when she stared at it. It seemed that she was not showing it off at all.
Nan Zhi’s expression was a little stiff.
She really did not know why Shangguan Wan had asked to talk to her.
The service staff brought a cup of lemon juice over and placed it in front of Nan Zhi.
Shangguan Wan took a sip, as her eyes landed on Nan Zhi’s face. “I heard Xiaojie mentioned that his mommy loves to drink lemon juice.”
Nan Zhi froze.
Did Shangguan Wan already guess that she was Xiaojie’s mommy?
And Xiaojie had even told Shangguan Wan what she liked to drink… It seemed like they were getting along rather well.
Nan Zhi’s fingers holding onto the cup of lemon juice were somewhat stiff. She looked down, not quite knowing what to say in front of Mu Sihan’s legal wife.
“It’s no wonder that I kept feeling like you looked really familiar. Xiaojie actually looks a lot like you, you’re both really pretty.”
Nan Zhi got more and more confused, not understanding what Shangguan Wan wanted to tell her.
Because her current attitude really did not seem like she came to confront a third party in her relationship.
“Miss Nan, you seem to be a little afraid of me?” Shangguan Wan put her hands to her face, as if considering the situation. “Although I like to fight, but I don’t think I look that scary, right?”
Nan Zhi almost choked on the ice-cold lemon juice. She hurriedly waved her hands around, saying awkwardly, “No, Your Highness is mistaken. You’re really pretty.”
Shangguan Wan laughed out loud. “The soldiers always used to say I was a tomboy.”
Nan Zhi laughed from Shangguan Wan’s expression and tone. “They were blind.”
“Hmm you may be right!”
Nan Zhi stared at Shangguan Wan. She was such an easy-going and charming person, it was no wonder that Mu Sihan would like her… Even she was almost attracted to Shangguan Wan Er’s carefree and friendly manner.
“It’s fine now that His Highness likes you.”
Shangguan Wan burst out in laughter. “Miss Nan, surely you aren’t jealous?”
“What?”
Shangguan Wan licked her lips, stirring the lemon juice with the straw. “I noticed that Sihan’s mood had been rather down recently. I thought that it was because of his work at first. After all, he’s not in a very good position right now, and he had to inculcate his own people after only having returned to the Ye family for a year.”
Nan Zhi froze slightly, not quite understanding why Shangguan Wan was telling her this.
Such things should be considered confidential!
“Miss Nan, you can’t possibly have fallen for that playboy, Qiao Yanze, right? Although Sihan’s temper isn’t really good, he’s really faithful!”
Nan Zhi was more than a little speechless as she stared at Shangguan Wan.
Was she trying to trick her, or did she have another meaning behind her words? She couldn’t understand Shangguan Wan at all.
Which woman would promote her husband in front of a love rival?
“Your Highness…”
“Don’t call me ‘Your Highness’, called me Wan Er, like Sihan does!”
Nan Zhi really could not understand Shangguan Wan’s thoughts.
Could it be that Mu Sihan and her had agreed to live their own lives after getting married?
However, didn’t they have a three-month-old child together?
“Miss Nan, you still like Sihan, right?”
Nan Zhi’s fingers trembled slightly. She did not have the chance to say anything when Shangguan Wan continued, “Actually, Sihan and I only held a wedding ceremony and did not register our marriage, so we’re not really a married couple. However, because of the circumstances we’re in, we have no choice but to act as a loving couple in public.”
“…”
“He’s definitely the most faithful man I’ve ever seen. You should know that men who are rich and influential usually face a lot of temptations. Even though everyone knows that he’s married, there are still girls who try to seduce him. However, he always kept his distance away from them and never fell for any of their tricks. When he first returned to the Ye family, not only was he used by his father, he also had to face the discrimination from the other royalty and nobility. For a person who always preferred to be free, it was definitely torturous for him.
“However, he still chose to return to the Ye family for Xiaojie. You should know as well that from the moment he returned to the royal family, a lot of things cannot be helped, and he would be restricted in many ways.”
Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows and stared at Shangguan Wan in slight confusion. “Why did you say that he returned to the Ye family for Xiaojie?”
As she asked, Nan Zhi seemed to have suddenly thought about something and her eyes widened in shock.
