Chapter 377 - Finding A Step-Father
Nan Zhi had always been very concerned with anything about her child, and she would take time to visit the manor everyday before she had been hurt by Mu Sihan.
However, her mood had been really bad over the past few days. She did not want to see Mu Sihan again as well, which was why she did not go to the manor to visit Xiaojie apart from their video-calls.
Nan Zhi was so worried from not being able to call him, and not knowing what the situation was like. She hurriedly drove over, not caring if the manor was Mu Sihan’s place.
The guards at the manor all knew her car plate and the usually strict guards straight away opened the gates for her at the sight of her vehicle approaching.
Nan Zhi suddenly remembered one of the afternoons she had driven over after Mu Sihan and Xiaojie acknowledged one another. The guards checked her car as per the regulations, but Mu Sihan saw and scolded them furiously.
He said that she was his woman, and anyone that disrespected her was disrespecting him as well.
Back then, she had been really touched.
However, the only feelings she could muster up now was the self-deprecating sting of being lied to.
Nan Zhi parked her car in front of the side wing. She did not even bother to change her shoes, and she entered the wing and went to Xiaojie’s room directly.
She saw Xiaojie sitting in front of the computer in a perfectly fine condition when she pushed the door open. He was browsing a matchmaking website, and did not seem to have a fever at all. Nan Zhi walked over quietly.
The child was filling a registering form with her name written on top and was describing her qualities.
Appearance: Pretty…
Figure: Amazing…
Personality: Nice…
Others: Comes with an adorable boy.
The corners of Nan Zhi’s lips twitched. The child was trying to find a partner for her!
Nan Zhi coughed lightly, but Xiaojie did not turn back, thinking that it was Yi Fan who came again. He said seriously, with his eyebrows furrowed together, “Don’t come and tell me otherwise again. I must make many boys woo Pretty Zhizhi, and I don’t mind Pretty Zhizhi kicking Daddy away if any of them are stronger than him.”
Nan Zhi did not know whether to laugh or cry.
He was indeed her precious baby that knew how to think for her even at his young age.
Xiaojie only noticed after a few seconds that the cough earlier seemed more feminine than usual. When he turned around, he shouted happily when he saw Nan Zhi standing behind him, “Pretty Zhizhi, why are you here? I thought I won’t be able to see you tonight!”
Xiaojie jumped down from the chair and flew into Nan Zhi’s arms.
Nan Zhi carried the child and twirled him around. It seemed like Mu Sihan was taking care of him really well. He was still fair and cute even though he was sick. He was not light at all either. Had he gained some weight?
Nan Zhi glanced at the computer. “Nan Xiaojie, what are you doing?!”
Xiaojie pouted. “I’m finding a step-father for me!”
The child cupped Nan Zhi’s pretty face as he stared at her with his large, adorable eyes. “Pretty Zhizhi, you have dark eye circles. Did you not sleep well because bad Daddy bullied you? It’s okay. It he doesn’t like you anymore, then we’ll find someone who is a million times better than him. We don’t need him!”
Nan Zhi laughed at her cute son’s antics.
A soft cough trailed from the door suddenly. Both Nan Zhi and Xiaojie turned back to see Yi Fan standing at the door and the expressions of the mother and son changed at the same time.
“Small Young Master, Doctor Junyuan said that you should be sleeping at this time.”
…
Nan Zhi sat by the bed and told Xiaojie a few bedtime stories. She only went to Yi Fan, who was waiting in the living room, after the boy fell asleep.
“Butler Yi, did you take Xiaojie’s phone? Why did you lie to me and tell me that he had a high fever?”
Yi Fan returned Xiaojie’s phone to Nan Zhi as he sighed softly, “It’s not Xiaojie, it’s Young Master. He’s had a fever for a few days now and he’s refusing any injections or medication. I hope Miss Nan can go and coax him…”
