Chapter 427 - An Emotional Night (2)
He was not gentle at all, and it could even be considered rough.
Painful, it was really painful.
She had to lean back because of him, and her fingers groped around for the tap before she managed to turn it off. The shower above them finally stopped its downpour.
His short black hair was dripping water, and his hand moved up to wipe his face, before his finger suddenly tugged his black shirt with strength.
The buttons fell on the floor one by one.
Loud crisps sounds of the buttons falling on the floor sounded.
His muscular and firm chest was revealed, water droplets trailing down the muscles clearly. His abdominal muscles and apollo’s belt was extremely sexy. He did not have a bit of excess fat on his body, and was covered in the strong scent of male hormones.
Nan Zhi touched his chest, as her long eyelashes trembled.
The color in his eyes were too dark. She did not know if he was drunk.
He might be drunk!
After he took off his shirt, he then ripped her pajamas off her body.
A loud rip echoed through the bathroom, and goosebumps crawled up her cold arms.
He did not say anything, as he leaned down and started to kiss her collarbones. But Nan Zhi was preoccupied in her thoughts and was not in the mood to be intimate with him at all...
Her distractedness made him kiss her deeper and harder.
“Help me take off my pants.” He placed a kiss by her ear, his voice low and hoarse.
“Mu Sihan, it’s not time for this now, you—”
He interrupted her coldly, “Take it off.”
Nan Zhi’s eyes were covered in moisture. She bit her lip, hands stretching out to undo his belt.
It was not her first time undoing his belt, but she was still really unfamiliar with it.
It had been a while since she started touching the belt, but she still could not find the hidden buckle.
He grabbed her hand, helping her undo his belt.
“Keep going.” He bit her earlobe. Nan Zhi closed her eyes, seemingly dazed by his hoarse voice. Her slender fingers grabbed the thin zip on his pants. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, before she pulled it down.
His breathing was getting heavier. He stretched his long arms out behind her hips, lifting her up easily.
Their gazes met each other.
His gaze was deep, too deep. She felt like she was falling into the depths of his eyes.
She stretched out her hands and wrapped them around his neck a few seconds later.
In that moment, he hugged her tightly. The hug was so tight it almost seemed like he wanted to melt her into his bones.
Nan Zhi was a little dazed when the pain came.
Although it was not their first time, it had been a while since the two of them had been so intimate.
...
Nan Zhi was conscious when the man carried her to her bed. However, the man above her seemed to be distracted, with his thoughts in a mess.
He needed to vent his emotions badly, as he pressed himself against her, their bodies tangled together as he entered her in a frenzied jumble of heat.
His sweat fell on her face, while her hands were on his chest. She could feel every single beat of his heart under her palms.
She could feel his pain as well, with him being so close to her, but she did not know how to lead him out of the dark abyss...
After two consecutive times, the man, who had not rested for a long time, let go of her and fell into a deep sleep.
Nan Zhi was aching everywhere, though she went to the living room after she tucked the man into the blankets.
She picked up her phone and sent a message to Yi Fan.
When Nan Zhi woke up again, the sun was already up.
Her first reaction was to turn back and look at the man behind her.
The spot beside her was empty.
She was not even clear when he had left.
Nan Zhi was dazed out as she sat on the bed, until the bathroom door was opened and the man who she thought had left, walked out of the bathroom.
He was not wearing anything, having only wrapped a towel around his waist that happened to block the important parts. There was a cloud of blackness that was exposed, and the sight of it being exposed but not totally so, made her blood warm up more than having it completely out in the open and her cheeks Alushed with pink.
He had already shaved the stubble on his chin and his thin face appeared extra handsome yet cold. Nan Zhi moved her gaze from his face to his charismatic waist. She pursed her lips slightly, as she asked with a shy, hoarse voice, “Did Butler Yi send over your clothes?”
He hummed lowly.
He took out a pair of black suit pants from the paper bag placed on the wardrobe. He pulled the towel around his waist away, and Nan Zhi closed her eyes instinctively, thinking that he was not wearing anything underneath.
When she opened her eyes again, the man was already dressed in his suit pants, and was ready to wear the shirt.
Nan Zhi got off the bed and walked in front of him. Her slender fingers helped him button his shirt a button at a time.
“Sihan, I want to talk to you about Grandma.”
The man was standing straightly, and his black eyes darkened slightly, “Thank you for the warmth you gave me last night.”
Nan Zhi felt like crying.
He did not want to hear her mention Grandma, but did not blame her either.
“I won’t run away again.”
The first thing Mu Sihan did after he returned was to settle the Old Madam’s funeral.
The funeral was scheduled to take place two days later in the morning.
He even did one more thing by blocking every single piece of negative news related to Nan Zhi online. He even suspended the accounts of several verified accounts that were adding fuel to the fire.
On the day of the Old Madam’s funeral, Nan Zhi arrived at the funeral hall with Xia Yanran, despite facing immense pressure from the incident.
In the funeral hall, sad music was playing while Mu Sihan and Xue’er were kneeling and bowing to every single guest that came to pay their respects.
After Nan Zhi had inserted her joss sticks into the ash urn, she walked in front of Mu Sihan and Xue’er with Xia Yanran.
Mu Sihan’s expression was aloof and serious. He merely bowed to Nan Zhi mechanically, without even looking at her properly.
Xia Yanran could see the sadness in Nan Zhi’s eyes. She held her hand and pulled her to sit amongst the guests.
Click, click, click. The crisp sound of high-heels rang in the hall.
A woman wearing a black dress and sunglasses entered with several bodyguards following behind her.
The woman lifted her chin up high in arrogance, as if she was above everyone else present.
After she paid her respects, the woman did not speak to the deceased family, but glanced at the guests’ seats instead.
A flash of coldness appeared in the woman’s eyes when she saw Nan Zhi sitting in the last row. She pointed and commanded loudly, “Throw that woman out now! She dares to come even after she caused the Old Madam to die?”
A loud ruckus immediately sounded amongst the guests.
Several guests of the Mu family did not know that the woman in the video was Nan Zhi, even though they had seen the video.
The crowd started to point and scold Nan Zhi after hearing the woman’s words.
“Did her conscience get fed to the dogs? An evil woman like her will definitely get her retribution!”
“Isn’t Young Master Mu very capable? Why is he still letting the murderer that caused the Old Madam’s death to run about?”
The woman in sunglasses spoke coldly, “All of you probably don’t know that this woman is really amazing. She seduced Mu Sihan and enchanted him completely. He’s completely under her spell. Now that the Old Madam has passed away, no one will stop them from getting together. From what I see, he probably can’t wai—”
Before she could finish her words, a bone-chilling voice cut through the air, “Shut up!”
Mu Sihan got up from the floor and walked in front of the woman. His gaze was dark and cold, “Lian Yun, the one that needs to leave is you.”
“Mu Sihan, I’m still Xue’er’s biological mother, you’re asking me to leave? Lian Yun pointed at Nan Zhi’s nose. “Everyone, help me reason this out. Am I wrong to come and mourn for my ex-mother-in-law as her ex-daughter-in-law? Yet this woman who caused the Old Madam to pass away isn’t asked to leave. Does he not want the Old Madam to rest in peace?”
A wave murmur of voices erupted as the guests around Nan Zhi started to blame her, judging her with their eyes.
