Chapter 181 - You Like Mu Sihan?
There was a long silence.
Nan Zhi did not dare to look at Gu Sheng’s expression. She lowered her lids and her long and dense eyelashes fluttered. “I’m sorry, Brother Gu Sheng.”
Mu Sihan definitely would not let her leave before the contract she signed expired, due to his strong and domineering personality.
In her heart, Brother Gu Sheng was simply too perfect. The current person she was now, no longer matched him. She couldn’t be selfish and make him wait for her.
“Little Flower, you already rejected me once in junior high. But I know that you only rejected me because my form teacher told you not to affect my studies, as I got an early offer from Princeton University.
Gu Sheng closed his eyes. His voice was sore and hoarse. “You like me.”
Nan Zhi bit her lips. She did not reply Gu Sheng immediately.
That year, Brother Gu Sheng had saved her. It was natural for her heart to flutter and fall for him, in her eyes, he was the greatest hero in the world.
When he left for abroad afterwards, she buried that emotion deep in her heart.
Once she realized he had returned, the grateful feeling sprouted once again in her heart. However, when he embraced her into the hospital, she did not feel that telltale fluttering in her heart, like she remembered from the past. The only feeling in her heart was one that was touched and full of gratefulness.
She did not know why the feeling she had hidden deep in her heart since she was thirteen-years-old, did not become stronger, and instead, seemed to have become more faint instead…
“I saw Brother Gu Sheng sitting next to me and wiping the sweat on my forehead immediately after I woke up after being kidnapped that year. Your gaze on me was gentle and pure. That was when I thought Brother Gu Sheng was the hero of my heart.”
“Brother Gu Sheng, you saved me for the second time after so many years. You’re still so capable and you’re still the hero of my heart.”
Gu Sheng stared at her. He seemed to understand what she meant with her words. His voice was coarse, yet gentle. “But the hero came too late. You don’t like heroes now anymore, don’t you?”
Nan Zhi pursed her lips and did not reply.
A bitterness flashed past Gu Sheng’s eyes. He laughed sadly. “Little Flower, did you fall for Mu Sihan?”
Nan Zhi shook her head on instinct. “No, I don’t like anyone.”
Perhaps she denied his words too quickly, it showed her sheepishness instead. Her answer seemed to become less genuine.
A tinge of dejection crossed Gu Sheng’s clear and deep eyes, before he closed his eyes in exhaustion and stopped speaking.
…
In Wind Town.
Mu Sihan exited the hospital. The black shirt he was wearing had two buttons unbuttoned, exposing his distinct collarbones. His handsome face was bloodthirsty and cold, with his dark eyes staring into the vast expanse of night sky ahead of him. The sky was so dark that he could not see the horizon.
“Young master, do we head back now?”
Mu Sihan was a lot calmer after he had taken his medication for bipolar disorder. His rationality was back and he seemed to have thought of something as his dark expression shifted. Dark eyes sparked with intelligence as he directed instead, “We’ll go to the house she saw the snakes in.”
Yi Fan stared at the man who got into the car first. It would not be an exaggeration to say he was more than slightly surprised.
Not only did the young master not rage and chase after Miss Nan and her wild man to murder them, instead, he wanted to go check the place she almost injured herself in.
Could it be that young master really had feelings for Miss Nan?
If it was the normal Young Master, he would definitely have chased after Miss Nan and punishes that man and her with no mercy.
Mu Sihan glanced at Yi Fan, who was standing outside with a dumbfounded expression. He furrowed his straight brows slightly. “Are you standing there to be a male model? You should just remain as a butler since you don’t have my face and figure.”
Yi Fan was already used to a certain someone’s narcissism and arrogance and shook his head inwardly, before he moved and got on the car.
…
Several luxurious cars drove to Auntie He’s house in the middle of the night.
Yi Fan led an entourage of bodyguards into the house to ensure that the entire house was completely devoid of any snakes or other beasts.
