Chapter 789: Provocative
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Mu Sihan stepped out of the elevator, he met Yi Fan.
Seeing Mu Sihan, Yi Fan looked down immediately like a mouse who had seen a cat, not daring to look at him.
A trace of derision appeared on Mu Sihan’s lips.
Even if Yi Fan did not look up, he could feel Mu Sihan’s cold and sharp gaze.
Mu Sihan stared at Yi Fan for a few seconds before saying in a cold voice, “Was it you who tampered with the car?”
Yi Fan lowered his head further, and did not speak.
Letting out a cold laugh Mu Sihan’s jaw clenched tightly. “I didn’t expect that you would betray me too.”
Yi Fan shivered slightly.
He mustered up his courage, looked up and met with Mu Sihan’s eyes. “Y-Young Master, it’s every man for himself. I had been enduring your temper for many years and I can’t stand it anymore. What’s more, you’re too emotional, you even became more indulgent for a woman. You have a weakness and are not fit to be a good king. I have no future with you!”
The vein on Mu Sihan’s forehead throbbed, and he nodded with his teeth gritted. “Very well, I must be blind, even the servant who had followed me for so many years would betray me so easily. Ha, you’re really a low slave that sails with the wind!”
Not saying anymore to Yi Fan, Mu Sihan walked to the lobby with the box in his arms.
Different to when he came, many people looked at him with strange looks. They ranged from curious, fearful, and gloating, to those which were more sympathetic...
Who would have thought the Crown Prince who was high up in the air would be reduced to what he was now?
“Your Highness!”
As Mu Sihan was about to walk out of the lobby, several officials in suits hurried over suddenly.
Mu Sihan looked back.
They were the officials he had promoted.
“Your Highness, we’ll wait for you to come back.”
“We believe you will recover.”
Now that Ye Qing was in power, these men braved the risk of being dismissed from the office to say these words to Mu Sihan, which showed their loyalty to him.
With a glance at the corner of his eye, Mu Sihan saw Ye Qing coming out of the elevator and his face darkened, saying to the officials coldly, “Go back and do your job well!”
Looking at the aloof Mu Sihan, the officials looked at one another at a loss.
But when Ye Qing came over, it was clear to them that Mu Sihan had done it in order to protect them!
They did not dare go against the trouble Mu Sihan had taken and left quickly after greeting Ye Qing respectfully.
Ye Qing called the guard by the door and instructed him coldly, “Check carefully to see whether the Crown Prince has taken away any important state secrets.”
Mu Sihan frowned.
Ye Qing was really a scoundrel realizing his ambition, seizing this opportunity to humiliate him!
Having a lowly guard search him, Mu Sihan?
Mu Sihan looked at the guard in front of him with a menacing gaze and said coldly, “Get out of my way!”
The guard shivered. Even though Mu Sihan was leaving the office for the time being, his prestige and status were still there. If he returned to power one day, he would be doomed!
But the guard dared not disobey Ye Qing’s instructions and could only consult Mu Sihan in a low voice, “Your Highness, may I just take a look at your cardboard box?”
Mu Sihan stood still and looked at Ye Qing, a cold smirk on his lips. “Ye Qing, the Queen hasn’t abdicated me yet. You’re just a substitute Crown Prince, there’s no need to be so ruthless.”
There was a smile on Ye Qing’s face, and he looked like a wise and understanding monarch. “Sihan, you misunderstood me. I’m just afraid that the state secrets will be taken away by you so I’m doing this just in case. If you didn’t take it, you’re not afraid to be checked by the guard, right?”
Without waiting for Mu Sihan to say anything, Ye Qing laughed. “If you feel that the guard is not qualified to search, how about I do it?”
Ye Qing came up to Mu Sihan and glanced at the box in Mu Sihan’s arms.
Reaching out his slender fingers, he took out Nan Zhi’s picture from inside.
Suddenly there was a crash, and the picture fell to the ground.
“Sorry, my hand slipped. ” With that, the foot that was wearing leather shoes stepped on the picture.
“My hand slipped but I didn’t expect my feet to slide as well.” Ye Qing bent down, picked up the trampled picture and threw it into Mu Sihan’s box, giving a faint smile. “In the Capital, she may be Nan Zhi, but in Light Island, she is Lan Xiaozhi. She’s a woman who had lost her chastity but you still treat her like a treasure. It seems you really have a mental illness and it’s serious!”
Ye Qing’s voice was so soft that only Mu Sihan, who was closest to him could hear it.
Mu Sihan looked at Ye Qing with red eyes.
As though he had never known him before.
Looking at Mu Sihan, whose eyes were red and the vein on his forehead throbbing, Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, looking provocative. “What, do you want to beat me up?”
Mu Sihan’s expression darkened. But a few seconds later, instead of hitting Ye Qing like he did last time, he turned away with the box in his arms.
“Coward!” Ye Qing laughed mockingly.
Mu Sihan turned a deaf ear and walked away.
...
Nan Zhi had been waiting anxiously in the ward.
About three hours later, Mu Sihan finally returned to the ward. Looking at how distraught he looked, her heart tightened.
“Sihan, why did the Queen ask you to go back to the office?”
Mu Sihan sat on the sofa and beckoned Nan Zhi over. Nan Zhi sat beside him and he held her small hand, leaning his head against her shoulders. “Don’t ask anything. I’m tired, I just want to sleep.”
Nan Zhi nodded.
She did not speak anymore and sat still, letting him lean on her.
Before long, his even breathing sounded.
When she lowered her eyes and looked at his tired face, her heart felt bitter like it was bitten by an army of stinging ants.
...
What Nan Zhi had not expected was that he ended up sleeping for several days.
At first, Nan Zhi though that it was just anemia as he had not been looking very well recently.
She only realized the seriousness of the matter when he had not woken up after three days of waiting.
The doctor had examined him, and there was nothing serious with his body other than being a little weak.
Just when Nan Zhi was about to go frantic from the anxiety, the man in the bed woke up.
The moment he opened his eyes, Nan Zhi wept with joy.
It was only a few days, but to her, every minute and second was a kind of suffering.
They looked at each other and she then found that his deep and dark eyes were very clear and bright, like the sky after rain, without any impurities.
He looked at her and suddenly smiled at her. “Princess.”
Nan Zhi’s heart skipped when she heard him call her ‘Princess’ upon waking up.
She was slightly nervous, shy and happy.
He used to call her Kitten or Nan Zhi most of the time, but he had never called her Princess.
