There was a meaningful smile on Xiao Yi’s handsome face, but there was no warmth in his eyes. His slender fingers held on to Nan Zhi’s wrist and pulled her up from the beach. “I’ve been looking for you since last night when your speedboat exploded.”

Xiao Yi took off his suit jacket and put it over Nan Zhi.

Nan Zhi looked down at the torn up dress and did not refuse Xiao Yi’s suit.

“I saw Young Master Mu and his butler leaving from the pier. I didn’t see you, and seeing I had nothing to do, I came to find you, beauty.” Xiao Yi lifted Nan Zhi’s chin. “Compared to last night, you look unbearably terrible now!”

Nan Zhi backed away, avoiding Xiao Yi’s touch and frowned. “Young Master Xiao, last night you didn’t touch me when Mu Sihan gave me to you and chose to bet on guns. I think you’re not interested in me. In that case, could I trouble Young Master Xiao to take me back to Ning City?”

Xiao Yi gave a low laugh and rubbed his fingers against his chin. “Young Master Mu dressed you up as the type I liked last night and was indifferent to you on the cruise. He knew what I was thinking. The more he showed that he cared about you, the more I wanted to play with you.”

Seeing Nan Zhi had no response, he continued.

“In order to test whether he really cared about you, I chose to bet on guns. In the end he won and it showed that he still cares about you.” Xiao Yi smiled and continued, “But how could he leave you on this island while he left alone? That is something I can’t comprehend. It’s so difficult to figure out what Young Master Mu is thinking!”

Nan Zhi looked at the man who was smiling, though his eyes remained cold. Her lips twitched and there was a hint of ridicule in her expression. “You don’t have to think about it too much, he doesn’t care or like me at all.”

Xiao Yi observed Nan Zhi carefully, trying to distinguish the truth from her words.

Seeing the disappointment and grievance in her eyes, Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully. “Indeed, he must have not like you enough, abandoning a girl like you on a deserted island.”

Xiao Yi left the deserted island with Nan Zhi.

When they reached the pier, Nan Zhi felt like a survivor of a disaster.

She looked at the boundless sea, her eyes calm. “Young Master Xiao, thank you for bringing me back.”

Xiao Yi waved his hand dismissively. “If you were a virgin, I’d take you in. It’s a pity for you but I’m a clean freak and can’t stand women who are not a virgin, or women who have given birth.”

Nan Zhi was speechless. She was very glad to have given birth to Xiaojie, or else it would be a disaster to be liked by a person like Xiao Yi!

…

Nan Zhi took a taxi back to the manor.

She took a bath and after changing her clothes she finally felt human again.

Mu Sihan and Yi Fan were not in the manor, and Nan Zhi had no plans to ask the servants where they went. She told Auntie He to bring the antidote to Brother Gu Sheng at the hospital and then packed up a luggage with her and Xiaojie’s belongings.

Nan Zhi found Junyuan and asked about Xiaojie’s condition. After confirming his blood count was stable, she left the manor with Xiaojie.

For several days, Nan Zhi did not contact Mu Sihan and he did not look for her.

Her life had regained its original calmness.

Nan Zhi was worried that Xiaojie would not adapt to the life after moving out of the manor, but the little fellow did not have any complaints and instead, held her hand to comfort her. “Pretty Zhizhi must have left because Uncle Cool hurt Pretty Zhizhi’s heart. No matter what decision Pretty Zhizhi makes, Brother Jie will give you his unconditional support.”

Nan Zhi pinched his delicate and pretty little face. “It would be good if you stop deceiving your Mom, okay?”

Xiaojie snuggled into Nan Zhi’s arms, his tender white arms hugged her neck. “Last time I thought Uncle Cool was cool and could be Pretty Zhizhi’s back-up. Who knew that he would only make Pretty Zhizhi unhappy. We don’t want him anymore, we’ll find someone a million times better than him!”
