Chapter 358: Sudden Kiss

He was not dressed very formally today. As he didn’t wear a tie and his black shirt and the first three buttons were unbuttoned, he looked sexy in an understated manner, lazy yet distanced, standing there puffing away on his cigar.

She did not know if she was thinking too much, but the gaze he had on her turned from dark to cold.

Nan Zhi pursed her lips tightly and felt a bitterness in her heart.

She did not know if she had done anything to make him unhappy. If there was, then it must be when she had a brief conversation with Gu Sheng before he had arrived at the celebration party.

She knew that he was bothered by Brother Gu Sheng, but she had known Brother Gu Sheng for years. Even though he wasn’t the one who had saved her from the kidnappers, he had taken her home and taken care of her back then.

She could not draw the line with Brother Gu Sheng and cut off the friendship, simply for the sake of Mu Sihan.

“What’s wrong with you?” Nan Zhi took a deep breath and took a few steps forward.

When she was about two steps away from him, he suddenly reached out and pulled her towards him. Before she could react, he took her in his arms and swapped places with her. Now she was the one pressed against the balcony railings by him.

They were so close that his masculine breath mixed with the smell of cigar floated into her nose. Her heart was beating fast. “Mu Sihan, there’s something wrong with you tonight…”

She wanted to ask him about Lin Wanyue but she did not have the courage to, seeing how he was as cold as ice now.

Although she did not understand him, she still believed in him.

If there was anything between Lin Wanyue and him, he did not have to wait until now.

He pinched her chin, his handsome face inching closer. “What have you been hiding from me recently?”

Nan Zhi’s heart quivered.

Hiding from him?

Nan Zhi suddenly thought of that beggar from that night and the handkerchief she had picked up…

There was no expression on his handsome face, his dark eyes were as deep as the night sky. Nan Zhi’s breath tightened and she opened her mouth, wanting to say something but could not say it out loud.

It was just her guess and she hadn’t confirmed anything.

Looking his handsome face, she said somewhat bitterly, “What do you think I’m hiding from you?”

He pursed his thin lips tightly and did not speak, staring at her fixedly with his deep, dark eyes, as if he was staring through her soul.

After a while, a clear and pleasant voice interrupted them, “Little Flower, are you here? I’m going to leave soon…”

Before Gu Sheng’s words were finished, the man tightened his hold on her chin and Nan Zhi could only feel the pain. She subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away but the next second, he lowered his head and kissed her roughly on the lips.

Without giving her time to think or resist, he bit her lip domineeringly, with a kind of wild stubbornness and aggression that she couldn’t fathom.

His long arms were like chains locking her, making her unable to move.

Her eyes widened and she looked at his dark eyes, her heart quivering slightly.

Why was he always like this? Always forcing her without caring about her feelings.

Because she was suffocating from the lack of air, she let out a helpless groan.

Gu Sheng, who was preparing to leave when he did not see her on the terrace, looked back when he heard the noise.

The lights were dimmer on the terrace and the man was tall, wearing a black shirt and pants which seemed to make him become one with the night. If one did not look closely, it would be difficult to find the slender woman trapped between his chest and the railings.

Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Mu Sihan’s back for a few seconds before he turned around and left.

Almost at the moment Gu Sheng left, Nan Zhi was released by the man who was holding her tightly and kissing her against her will.
