Gu Sheng looked at Nan Zhi, whose face was slightly pale and his beautiful hands clasped her shoulders . “Are you alright? Did she do something harmful to your body?”

Nan Zhi's slender body retreated a few steps, her palms pressing against her throbbing temples . With a shake of her head, she murmured softly, “I'm all right . ”

She was not dumb, she thought of Mu Sihan's deep questioning gaze and she knew what she had lost .

It must be because of that handkerchief that Lin Wanyue had planned for someone to spill red wine over her . Then after she went to wash up, Lin Wanyue would have gone quietly to look through her belongings .

Nan Zhi pursed her lips, and it seemed like his hot temperature and refres.h.i.+ng breath was still lingering over them, but now she felt a chill running up her spine .

She blinked her eyes and her breath tightened .

Ding . The elevator reached the first floor .

“Brother Gu Sheng, I'll be leaving first . ”

Gu Sheng nodded and said nothing . He watched her leave, his eyes darkening .

Heavy rain poured down from the sky, and the darkness of the night seemed like it was going to swallow up the whole city . The uniformed doorman waited by the door with an umbrella .

Seeing Nan Zhi coming over, he held the umbrella over her head .

Nan Zhi looked at the black Bentley not far away and her footsteps faltered when she was going down the steps .

In fact, the main reason she had been afraid to take out the handkerchief was because of the fear and insecurity in her heart .

She was afraid of breaking the fragile and seemingly harmonious and peaceful relations.h.i.+p they had stumbled into . Even more than that, she was afraid of hearing a reply that would break her heart!

Because she cared, she became cautious over many things .

She did not like this feeling, after her heart was moved, she could not control her anger and joy and was like a mindless puppet, her emotions being controlled .

“Ma'am, are you all right?” The doorman who was holding the umbrella for Nan Zhi stopped and asked, puzzled .

Nan Zhi looked at the night being washed away by the storm and she felt a bitterness in her heart .

She shook her head with a smile . “It's all right . We can go now . ”

The doorman went to the front pa.s.senger seat while carrying the umbrella for Nan Zhi and helped her pull the door open . Nan Zhi got in the car after thanking him .

The door was closed and the sound of the rain outside was blocked .

Mu Sihan sat in the driver's seat, an unlit cigar between his thin lips and his long fingers playing listlessly with a small silver lighter .

Nan Zhi pursed her lips and fastened the seatbelt with her head lowered .

From the corner of her eyes, she caught a glimpse of something familiar .

It was the handkerchief .

Nan Zhi's heartbeat sped up and it seemed like it was about to leap out of her throat .

A few seconds later, she turned away and looked at the dangerously handsome, yet menacing man starting the engine . “Did Lin Wanyue give you this handkerchief?”

Mu Sihan looked at Nan Zhi and drove onto the main road . “How did you get the handkerchief?”

Nan Zhi looked at his well-defined face and her lips twitched, trying to suppress her feelings . “Is the person with the name embroidered on the handkerchief important to you?”

Mu Sihan tightened his hold on the steering wheel slightly . He did not look at her but asked coldly, “Answer me . How did the handkerchief end up with you?”

“If I say I saw the owner of the handkerchー”

Before she could finish, the car suddenly squeaked and stopped abruptly .

Nan Zhi was unprepared and her body lurched to the side and hit the door hard . Fortunately, she had fastened her seatbelt, otherwise her forehead would have slammed onto the car window .

Within seconds, the car started again and the man's voice was cold and almost frightening . “She is very important to me, so tell me . Where did you see her?”
