Chapter 593: Her Heart Skipped A Beat

An Feng was conservative and stubborn, shaking her head even after hearing Nan Zhi’s explanation. “Even if they didn’t register their marriage, they still held a marriage ceremony. To the people of S Country, Shangguan Wan is their Fourth Princess Consort. If you’re with him, people will still treat you as the third party.”

An Feng held Nan Zhi soft hands, her words sincere and earnest. “It’s not that I want to stop the two of you from getting together, but the two of you are really not suitable. It’s still alright if he was from just a simple rich family, but he’s a Royalty from the Royal family, we can’t claim ties with such a high social position.

“If the public found out that you’re in a secret relationship with him, your reputation will be gone and you will be drowned by all of the spews of saliva from the people!”

How could Nan Zhi not understand what mother had said?

After Shangguan Wan told her the truth back then, she did not get together with Mu Sihan immediately because she was concerned and held back by these concerns as well.

“Zhizhi, don’t lose yourself.”

Nan Zhi did not want to provoke An Feng, so she merely nodded.

The two of them arrived at the daily section. An Feng only smiled gently when she saw the children products, “I have to prepare some daily items for my obedient grandson.”

If Xiaojie was not here, An Feng really wanted to return to Ning City with Nan Xiaojie. However, she was also a mother and could understand Nan Zhi’s feelings of not being able to be too far away from her son.

When An Feng was choosing some daily items for Xiaojie, Nan Zhi’s phone rang.

When she saw the caller ID, Nan Zhi’s heart thumped crazily.

She glanced at An Feng, her finger pressing the wrong button to reject the call in her panic.

However, her phone rang again very quickly.

An Feng looked up at Nan Zhi, “Who’s calling?”

Nan Zhi hurriedly replied, “It’s Yanran. I accidentally rejected the call just now.”

“Then answer it.”

Nan Zhi nodded, answering the call. She spoke before the person on the other end spoke, “Yanran, aren’t you busy today? Why are you able to call me?”

The man on the other end kept silent for a few seconds, not saying anything.

Nan Zhi knew very clearly how petty that man was. He must have been angry hearing her call him Yanran. However, she did not want to make her mother unhappy either, so she could only try probing him. “If not, I’ll call you again after I return home later?”

The man did not answer her, merely asking, “Where are you?”

“I’m buying things at the supermarket with my mother.” After answering, she could not help but ask, “What about you?”

The man said softly, “Turn around and look up.”

Hearing his words, Nan Zhi’s heart started to thump harder suddenly. She turned hurriedly, looking towards the aisle in front of her.

She saw a familiar figure not too far away the moment she looked up.

He was wearing a face mask and a black suit. He was standing there, tall like a tree. Even though she could not see him clearly, she was still attracted by the elegant and cold aura he was exuding.

He had a hand in his pocket while his other hand was holding onto a thin phone.

Nan Zhi blinked. She thought for a second that she was hallucinating.

She closed her eyes, before looking towards him again. He was still holding his phone and standing there, and did not disappear from her vision.

“Zhizhi, do you think I should buy this towel for Xiaojie?”

Nan Zhi jumped in shock when she heard An Feng’s voice. She hurriedly turned around and nodded, “Mom, you can decide on anything you want.”

An Feng turned towards Nan Zhi, asking when she noticed her eyelashes fluttering and her expression slightly unnatural. “What’s wrong?”

“Mom, my stomach doesn’t feel that good. You can pick for Xiaojie first, I’ll come over after going to the washroom.”

An Feng hummed in agreement.

Nan Zhi turned around once more, but the man was no longer standing there.

Nan Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. Did he leave already?

Nan Zhi walked to where he was standing earlier. She looked around, but did not see him at all.

She continued to walk forward.

When she walked to the frozen section, she looked around, but still did not see him.

Actually, it was not a hard thing to find him in a big supermarket if she wanted to.

He was tall and had an extraordinary aura. He would stand out drastically in a group of people.

Nan Zhi looked down, disappointment flashing in her eyes.

She took out her phone, planning to call him when something cold pressed against her face suddenly.

She jumped in surprise, hurriedly turning around.

The man was holding a bottle of iced mineral water and had pressed it against her face.

Nan Zhi’s disappointed heart thumped again.

She turned around, widening her arms and jumping into the man’s arms in happiness.

In moments, she had totally forgotten about what An Feng had told her.

When it came to relationships, she was a little slow in letting go of herself.

Besides, because she had been hurt once, she was not able to trust a person completely.

However, once she opened her heart fully, she would be completely devoted.

Mu Sihan’s hand that was free held her slender waist, returning her hug with her strength.

Nan Zhi’s small face leaned against the man’s black shirt. Her heart beat rapidly as she smelled his unique scent.

It may be because she was afraid that people would find out that he was the Fourth Prince, or that An Feng would suddenly come over and see this, but Nan Zhi’s heart kept thumping nonstop.

Mu Sihan stared down at the woman in his arms. His well-defined hand caressed her pretty face, chuckling softly and arrogantly. “Kitten, your heart is about to jump out.”

Nan Zhi glared at him once, wanting to leave his embrace. However, he hugged her tighter, and Nan Zhi could see several young girls looking towards them.

Her pretty face immediately flushed, her fists moving to push against his shoulders, “Let go of me quick, people are looking at us.”

Mu Sihan raised an eyebrow, smiling faintly, “Aren’t you the one who jumped into my arms?”

“You… you’re so annoying.”

Knowing that she was a little more shy when it came to these things, he did not put her at a spot as he let go of her slender waist. He asked softly, “Auntie does not allow for us to meet?”

Nan Zhi shook her head. “She didn’t stop us from meeting, she just didn’t want me to be your mistress.”

Mu Sihan stared at her with dark eyes. “I’m sorry.”

Nan Zhi thought that he would be unhappy. She did not expect him to comfort her in return, as warmth flowed within her.

However, she was not touched for more than three seconds. The man suddenly held her hand, forcing something hard into her hand.

Nan Zhi glanced down.

It was the key card to a hotel room.

“You…” Nan Zhi did not have the chance to say anything when An Feng’s voice trailed over, “Zhizhi?”

Nan Zhi heard An Feng’s voice and hurriedly pushed Mu Sihan away. “Leave quickly.”

Mu Sihan lifted his hand to pat the top of Nan Zhi’s head. “You’re acting like we’re having an affair. Remember to come tonight.”

Before Nan Zhi could say anything, the man turned around and left with big steps.

An Feng walked over and patted Nan Zhi’s arm softly. “Didn’t you go to the washroom? Why did you come here?”

Nan Zhi’s grip on the hotel key card tightened as her eyes sparkled. She smiled, “I didn’t want to go suddenly, and thought of getting some yogurt before I came to find you.”

An Feng stared at Nan Zhi’s slightly flushed face for a second, though she did not say anything.

As they paid for their groceries, Nan Zhi was following behind An Feng when she suddenly felt someone following her. She turned back and saw the man, who was standing at another cashier counter, with a box of condoms.
