Attack of the Adorable Kid: President Daddy's Infinite Pampering - Chapter 530
Chapter 530: Teasing
Nan Zhi quickly found a tray and acted as a servant, standing in an inconspicuous corner.
Her gaze could not help falling on the woman beside Mu Sihan.
Shangguan Wan was wearing a light green dress and her shoulder-length hair was combed behind her ears. Her facial features were bright and there was the heroic spirit of a female soldier in her eyes.
She was the direct opposite of a pretty girl of humble birth.
The noble and bold air exuding from her was comparable to the strong aura of Mu Sihan.
Nan Zhi watched the two of them coming in and she was dazed for a few seconds.
They looked very well matched in their appearance but she could not feel any sweetness from them.
But how many couples got married because they loved each other?
After Mu Sihan and Shangguan Wan came, many people took the initiative to greet them.
The man who usually did not like socializing, was polite and patient tonight.
Shangguan Wan felt that something was wrong with him when he got up this morning, but she could not tell what was wrong.
Shangguan Wan was called aside by several socialites and the tall, cold man scanned the banquet hall with a glass of red wine in his hand.
Suddenly, his dark eyes fixed on the woman in a servant’s uniform standing in the corner.
The woman’s head was slightly lowered but he recognized her beautiful face and exquisite features at one glance.
It was her!
Even with her head lowered, Nan Zhi could still feel a gaze that could not be ignored on her.
Under the bright lights, the tall man looked at her without any concealment. His gaze was deep and unfathomable as usual.
Nan Zhi’s scalp was starting to tingle from his penetrating gaze.
She lowered her head hurriedly and headed for the back garden with the tray.
Being stared at by him like that, she was bound to be noticed by other people.
…
Madam Qiao brought Ding Shuman downstairs.
Ding Shuman was dressed up tonight and looked much younger, like an affluent lady in her early thirties.
Looking at the men and women with noble statuses in the banquet hall dressed in gorgeous clothes, Ding Shuman’s vanity swelled rapidly.
She would become a member of the upper class in the future.
Her time was finally here.
She was no longer the Ding Shuman from the past who was looked down upon by others.
This past year, she lived like a princess. She was almost beaten to death by Nan Weiye and when she returned to the Qiao family, she just have to say the word and somebody punished Nan Weiye for her and made him live like a dog in Ning City.
And Nan Zhi, after tonight, she would be forced to marry a fool and live on in the Qiao family.
“Shuman, where’s Yaoyao?”
Hearing her mother’s words, Ding Shuman looked around. “Mom, leave her first.” Recently, Yaoyao and Ye Fengshu’s son Ye Yanfeng was very close and she heard from Yaoyao that Ye Yanfeng was interested in her.
Ye Fengshu was the Queen’s youngest son, and was crowned as Prince a year ago. Ye Yanfeng was his only child.
If she could marry into the Prince’s family, Yaoyao could become a Princess Consort in the future.
Tonight, in addition to forcing Nan Zhi to sleep with that cousin, Nan Yao must also succeed in sleeping with Ye Yanfeng.
…
Nan Zhi walked once around the back garden. But she found that the back door was guarded strictly and it was impossible to get out!
It seemed like she could only think of another way when the guests slowly started to disperse.
Coming out from behind the rockwork, the conversation between two female guests suddenly caught Nan Zhi’s attention.
“Did you see Shangguan Wan? I used to think she was a tomboy who only know how to fight and kill on the battlefield. I didn’t expect her to look so beautiful when she dressed up!”
“Yes, and she didn’t look like someone who had a child either.”
“As soon as she got married with the Fourth Prince, she got pregnant with his child. They seem quite happy together.”
Nan Zhi’s mind was confused and her breathing was not stable for a few seconds when she heard the conversation.
Mu Sihan and Shangguan Wan had a child?
Her hands shook with shock and the wine on the tray almost fell to the ground.
Nan Zhi thought of Shangguan Wan’s slender figure. She really did not look like someone who had given birth to a child.
It was only a year, marriage, pregnancy, giving birth…
The speed their relationship had developed was so fast.
She told herself not to care, but when she heard the news, she was still shocked and was unable to recover for some time.
She was a clean freak on relationships. She could not accept it when he got married, let alone having a child with another woman!
Nan Zhi stood behind the rockwork for a long time before she came out slowly.
She did not want to stay here any longer and was thinking about how to leave, when she saw a tall figure leaning against the rockwork from the corner of her eye.
Nan Zhi tightened her grip on the tray, lowering her eyes and her face turned cold.
She planned to walk away from the man as if she had not seen him, but the man said coldly, “Give me a glass of wine.”
Nan Zhi heard the coldness in the man’s voice and looked at the man’s frosty face, and she furrowed her eyebrows. “Mr. Ye?”
The man gave a low laugh, his dark eyes staring fixedly at Nan Zhi’s beautiful face. “It seems like you can distinguish me accurately from Mu Sihan now.”
Last night he was drenched by the rain and sure enough, he had a fever.
Nan Zhi thought of that diary she had read. Ye Qing seemed to want to take over Mu Sihan’s main personality.
“You heard the conversation between those two women just now?” Ye Qing straightened his body and strode towards Nan Zhi. “I thought he was dedicated to you. Ha, you are already out of the game without me even having to do anything.”
Nan Zhi thought of how she was abandoned, hurt twice by this man in front of her when she was in Ning City and could not make herself be polite to him. She smiled coldly. “Mr. Ye, do you think you could even come out if I hadn’t stayed in my room last night? Speaking of elimination, it was not that I was eliminated by him, but that he was eliminated by me. I’m young and pretty, why wouldn’t I be able to find a good man?
“You, on the other hand, the woman you loved does not love you. Even if you take over him successfully, Xue’er still won’t like you!”
The man’s handsome face darkened and he raised his hand wanting to grab her slender neck but Nan Zhi stepped back quickly, took a glass of red wine from the tray and threw it on the man’s face.
“Nan. Zhi!” The man wiped the wine off his face, his eyes menacing like a storm was coming.
He really hated this daring woman more and more!
Nan Zhi wanted to leave but the man moved faster than her, his palm grabbing her wrist, throwing her onto the rockwork.
The tray on Nan Zhi’s hand dropped to the ground. Her thick eyelashes fluttered and she looked at the man with the cold sharp gaze as if he was going to cut her into pieces. She suddenly reached out her fair arms and wrapped it around his neck.
“Mr. Ye, don’t you hate me the most? I wonder what it feels like to be kissed by a woman you hate the most?”
