The Crown Prince's office was s.p.a.cious, one of its walls covered entirely with floor-to-ceiling windows . The interior was designed according to his usual style, low-key but luxurious at the same time, cold but tasteful .

 The woman sitting on the sofa could not help but stand up and walk towards the office table .

 There were two photo frames placed on the office table .

 One of them was of a young woman dressed in a professional suit and ponytail, looking clean and sharp . The other was of a family of three .

 The pretty small boy was standing in the middle while the man behind was back-hugging the woman's shoulders tightly . The woman and boy were smiling brightly, while the man who did not smile usually had a small smile as well .

 It was a happy and warm smile .

 She stared at the photo for a very long time, until some low but steady footsteps could be heard by the door .

 She turned around, her eyes landing on the tall and black figure that had just appeared .

 Her expression dazed out for a few seconds .

 The man was wearing a black suit, with a perfectly white s.h.i.+rt inside . He had a hand in his pocket, while his other hand held onto a doc.u.ment file, looking cold and handsome .

 His hair was cut really short, his hairline and sideburns clearly visible .

 The distance between Xue'er and him was not huge, as their eyes met .

 Time seemed to favor him especially, as his exquisite and handsome facial features matched with the image she had in her memory . He was still that fierce, dignified and arrogant man .

 He had merely become even harder to read and more mature!

 “Ah Han . ” Xue'er smiled courteously . “It's been a while . ”

 Mu Sihan hummed coldly in response .

 In the past six months, he rarely smiled anymore . He spent most of his time on work . He was like a robot that never smiled, cried or had any feelings .

 Through his hard work, his position in the Royal family had only become more and more stable .

 Ye Fengjun did not want to see him being immersed in the pain of losing Nan Zhi, and had arranged for him to go for match-making sessions a few times . However, when those young ladies saw his icy cold face, they were so afraid they did not dare to speak anymore .

 As a result, there was a saying in the upper-cla.s.s society in the Capital, that the Crown Prince was a cold-blooded Hades, contrasting terribly with the playboy Fifth Prince .

 Mu Sihan's eyes only landed on Xue'er for two seconds, before he strode to sit on the leather chair behind the office table . His deep black eyes had no emotion in them, looking like a placid and chilling lake . When he pa.s.sed by Xue'er, he merely left her with the scent of his refres.h.i.+ng and cold masculinity .

 Xue'er's head hung down slightly, disappointment apparent in her eyes . However, she controlled herself very quickly .

 She glanced once more at the man who picked up his fountain pen and signed some doc.u.ments . She walked in front of the office table, saying softly, “Ah Han, you asked me to come look for you here when we met at the village last time . Are you blaming me for coming too late?”

 Mu Sihan narrowed his dark eyes slightly, putting down the fountain pen as he said hoa.r.s.ely, “You're not late . It's just that whether or not you come now has no meaning to me anymore . ”

 He asked Xue'er to come over because he wanted to make his Ye Qing personality disappear and not hurt Nan Zhi anymore .

 However, since Nan Zhi was no longer here, whether or not he was treated no longer had any meaning .

 Xue'er stared at Mu Sihan, who was extremely cold to her . She felt extremely sad, a thin layer of moisture covering her eyes . “Ah Han, I heard that Miss Nan isn't around anymore…”

 Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Mu Sihan coldly . “How do you know about this?”

 “Fourth Brother, don't be angry . I was the one who told her . ” The culprit, Lan Yanzhi, walked in from outside . He glanced at the icy cold Mu Sihan, then at Xue'er who looked like she was about to start crying . “I met Xue'er in the plane . We chatted a little and I accidentally told her . ”

 Mu Sihan pressed his slender fingers in between his eyebrows, saying with exhaustion, “Sister Xue'er, I'll get Yi Fan to help you arrange a hotel for you to stay at tonight . You should return to Ning City tomorrow . ”

 Xue'er furrowed her eyebrows tightly .

 Calling her over, then pus.h.i.+ng her away when he wanted, what did he treat her as?

 Seeing that Xue'er was not replying, Mu Sihan raised an eyebrow . “Why? You have something to say?”

 Xue'er stared at the man who was treating her so coldly, her heart tightened into a twisted lump .

 However, who could she blame?

 She was the one who did it to herself, she was the one who had caused her relations.h.i.+p with him to become like this .

 They could not even be family towards each other .

 She shook her head . “If you don't want to see me, then I'll buy a ticket to fly back later . ”

 Turning around, Xue'er walked out of the office . However, she could not help but turn around to look at him again . “Ah Han, I'm not the person I was in the past . I understand now that you cannot force feelings onto someone . ” She paused for a while, her voice slightly choked . “Take care . ”

 After Xue'er left, Lan Yanzhi walked towards the office table, pa.s.sing him a cigarette . “Aren't you a bit too harsh towards Sister Xue'er?”

 Mu Sihan looked down to light the cigarette up, narrowing his dark eyes slightly . He exhaled a long breath of smoke before he spoke slowly, “It would only be heartless for her if I gave her hope . ”

 “If you're not giving her hope, then why did you ask her to come over?”

 Mu Sihan pursed his lips tightly, not saying anything .

 In the past six months, Lan Yanzhi realized that he became less interested in speaking, only replying after Lan Yanzhi spoke a few sentences to him .

 “Never mind, if you don't want to say it, I can't force it out of you either . ” Lan Yanzhi paused for a second before he changed the topic . “Are you still not able to forget Nan Zhi?”

 Mu Sihan smoked continuously, before he hummed lowly . Even though it had been six months, he had never stopped thinking about her .

 At night, he would even dream of her occasionally .

 He dreamt that she was back and was standing in front of her . However, when he was about to hug her, she disappeared again .

 When he woke up, his chest hurt even more . All he could feel was a waste, bleak sense of sorrow and emptiness .

 “Fourth Brother, apart from you not being able to forget Nan Zhi, it's the same for Xiaojie as well . He's still so young, haven't you thought of spending more time with him?”

 Mu Sihan tapped the cigarette into the ashtray, his eyes darkening slightly . “I did, but he said that he wanted to train and learn properly in the training camp . ”

 “He's already been there for more than six months . Isn't it time to go out for a vacation?” Lan Yanzhi took out his phone, finding a photo he had saved . “Look at this sea! My a.s.sistant's best friend found this place when she went on her vacation a while back . It's called Light Island, an island kingdom in the Pacific Ocean . It's not very big, and the population size is rather small as well . I heard that the scenery there is like a painting . As it's spring all year round, it's very beautiful there . I plan to go there for a vacation . Do you want to consider coming along with Xiaojie?”

 Mu Sihan was not in the mood for a vacation . No matter how beautiful a place was, to him, they were only a black and white photo .

 Indeed, beautiful scenery needed to be admired with those who were important .

Seeing that Mu Sihan was not interested, Lan Yanzhi took back his phone . “Alright, alright . You can continue working . I'm going out to enjoy myself then . ”
