Chapter 430: Overbearing Brat

Xue’er was wearing a short knitted shirt in the same color, paired with a pair of blue leggings. Her long hair had been tied into a bun. She did not wear any makeup, and she looked especially small and delicate standing next to the tall Mu Sihan.

When the two of them stood together, they looked like they were made to be a pair, matching each other extremely well.

Probably having noticed Nan Zhi’s and Xiaojie’s gazes, Mu Sihan took off his sunglasses, and his dark eyes glanced over. After two seconds, he looked away first, his handsome face not revealing any emotions.

It was obvious that Xue’er did not expect it to be so coincidental that they would meet Nan Zhi in H City and to also stay in the same hotel.

She froze for a second, before she moved forward and curled her arm around Mu Sihan’s arm.

Qiao Yanze glanced at Mu Sihan and Xue’er, his devilish yet pretty eyes flashing in disdain.

How would it be so coincidental? He would really have been stupid if he believed it was coincidental!

Lifting Xiaojie up to his shoulders, his other hand held onto Nan Zhi’s wrist. His smile was bright and charming. “Let’s go.”

Nan Zhi did not struggle out of Qiao Yanze’s hold, letting him pull her into the elevator.

Qiao Yanze stared at Nan Zhi’s pretty face. He said with an eyebrow lifted, “It seems like fate is really playing with us. If you don’t like it here, we can change to stay at another hotel.”

Nan Zhi smiled faintly in response. “This is not his house. Besides, we arrived first, didn’t we?”

“It would be great if you thought this way.” The thing he feared most in a relationship would be running away, that she would run away the moment she met him, as it would only reveal the concern she had for him.

…

Nan Zhi and Xiaojie went to sleep slightly earlier as they were going to ski in the morning the next day.

As the mother and son lay on the bed, Nan Zhi stared at the boy’s jade-like face and asked softly, “Are you angry at him?”

Xiaojie moved into Nan Zhi’s embrace, muttering, “Of course I’ll be angry since he doesn’t want Pretty Zhizhi and me. However, Pretty Zhizhi said before that it’s harmful for our bodies if we stay angry, so I don’t want to hurt my body by being angry at Bad Daddy!”

The boy could not help but wrap his arms around Nan Zhi’s neck as he said his words. “It’s better without him stealing Pretty Zhizhi away from me. I can hug Pretty Zhizhi to sleep everyday now!”

Nan Zhi caressed the boy’s head, before she leaned down to place a kiss at the top of his head, “Overbearing brat.”

“Hehe, I’m so sleepy. It’s time to sleep, Pretty Zhizhi. Good night.”

“Goodnight, Xiaojie darling. Sleep well.”

…

The next day, Nan Zhi was still sleeping when the doorbell rang several times.

Xiaojie had already changed into appropriate attire and was washing up in the bathroom. He walked to the door at the sound of the doorbell, before opening the door.

Qiao Yanze, who was dressed casually, was leaning against the door frame, sucking onto a lollipop.

“Uncle Qiao, did you quit smoking?”

“It’s because of your mummy. She said she hates the smoke smell on me, so I’ll abstain from smoking for one day today.”

Xiaojie stretched his hand out to Qiao Yanze. “I want to eat one too.”

Qiao Yanze took out a lollipop from his pocket, stretching it out towards Xiaojie. However, the lollipop was taken by a fair, small hand in the next second.

“Nan Xiaojie, you’re not allowed to eat candy in the morning.”

Xiaojie shrugged helplessly at Qiao Yanze, splaying his hands out like he was an adult. “Uncle Qiao Yanze, I can’t even eat candy since I have a woman taking care of me. However, this feeling is still quite nice.”

This brat, was he indirectly saying that although he had candy to eat, he did not have any woman to take care of him?

Xiaojie was already so good at shooting people down at such a young age, wouldn’t he be better than him when he grew up?

While the three were chatting and laughing, no one noticed the door diagonally opposite of them opening before a tall figure walked out from inside.

The man had a hand in his pocket, his palm inside clenched into a tight fist. He used so much strength that the veins on the back of his hands were popping out, while his knuckles turning slightly white.

At the same time as the man walked out of the room, the door next to his opened as well and Xue’er walked out. She curled her arm around Mu Sihan’s arm. “Ah Han, I’m ready to leave.”

The man hummed coldly.

Xue’er stared at the man next to her. If they did not grow up together, she might really have been afraid and shocked by the cold aura he was exuding.

Although he was willing to follow Grandma’s final wishes, she could tell that he was not happy.

Even so, she was still unwilling to let go of his hand.

…

After they had breakfast, Nan Zhi and Qiao Yanze brought Xiaojie to H City’s largest open-field ski area.

Nan Zhi’s unhappiness flew away at the sight of the silvery snowy scenery. She opened both her arms, pulling on Xiaojie’s hand as the mother and son duo started running around the ski area.

When they got tired, the two of them flopped onto the snow, smiling when they looked at each other.

Qiao Yanze was following behind them. When he saw the heartwarming scene in front of him, he could not help but smile.

The mother and son duo had such a good relationship that no one else could affect their bond!

Qiao Yanze was a master skier, while Nan Zhi was the complete opposite.

She tried skiing a few times, though each attempt ended with her falling down and eating snow.

Qiao Yanze booked an instructor for Nan Zhi, while he taught Xiaojie personally.

“Pretty Zhizhi, let’s meet here after an hour and see who’s better then!” The boy wore his goggles and waved the ski pole in his hand around.

Nan Zhi smiled brightly at the confident gaze in the boy’s eyes. “Sure!”

Qiao Yanze brought Xiaojie to the side, while Nan Zhi sat at the same spot to wait for the instructor.

A man wearing black ski attire, gloves, a helmet and a face mask walked in front of her a while later.

Nan Zhi stared at the man’s figure, as her eyes widened slightly.

“Mu Sihan?” Because his goggles were black, and he was completely covered, Nan Zhi could not see clearly what he looked like.

“Hello, Miss Nan, I’m Asa, the instructor that Mr. Qiao hired to teach you skiing.”

All of Nan Zhi’s doubts disappeared when she heard the man’s rough and hoarse voice.

How could she think that the person was Mu Sihan when she saw someone who had a similar figure to him?

Nan Zhi stretched her hand out to shake his hands, as she replied politely, “Hello, I’m a little stupid when it comes to this, please take care of me.”

The man shook her hands with his gloves, and let go rather quickly.

Nan Zhi did not know if she had gotten the wrong impression, but this instructor was a little serious and cold!

“Miss Nan, I’ll give a demonstration first, please look at me.”

“Okay.”

The tall man stood on the skis, as he pushed himself off and his figure slide down skillfully in a cool manner.

The man returned to Nan Zhi’s side in a blink of an eye. “Did you get a clear view of what I did?”

Nan Zhi had only paid attention to his cool posture earlier, and totally forgot how he moved!

“I-I did.” Nan Zhi stood on the skis awkwardly, holding tightly onto the ski poles as the man gave her a few instructions before letting her try moving down.

Nan Zhi nodded her head in half-confusion. She swung the ski pole in her hands, and she moved down without knowing what to do.

Her slender figure started to sway left and right along the hill. She was not wearing a helmet, and she felt pain as the chilly wind hit her face.

Nan Zhi did not feel any joy or excitement. On the contrary, she was completely terrified.

“Instructor Asa? Instructor Asa?”

She did not know how to stop at all. All the muscles in her body were completely tensed, as she held her back straight. Sweat even appeared on her forehead from the extreme fear and nervousness she felt.
