  Nan Zhi was not someone who allowed herself to dwell in sadness. She understood the difficulty Mu Sihan faced and would not force him to make any promises or give her a status immediately.

  What’s more, Xiaojie would receive better education being with him.

  Let’s keep it like this for the time being!

  Nan Zhi got up from bed, washed up and went downstairs to prepare breakfast.

  The fridge was full of ingredients. Nan Zhi made a pot of porridge, fried a few eggs and made two cold dishes.

  When she was done, she brought the dishes to the table.

  Suddenly the crisp clicking sound of high-heeled shoes echoed across the palace. Nan Zhi looked up and saw a fairy-like young woman in a white long dress, with shoulder length hair and exquisite makeup, walking over.

  She looked arrogantly at Nan Zhi, who was wearing an apron, and thought she was a new servant. Raising her eyebrows slightly, she said dismissively, “Make me breakfast too.” Then she walked towards the swimming pool in a pompous manner.

  Nan Zhi furrowed her eyebrows. She took off her apron and followed the woman, who had came unexpectedly, towards the swimming pool.

  Mu Sihan had woken up early and he had the habit of having a morning swim everyday.

  The morning sun sprinkled on the sparkling water, spreading a layer of golden light on the surface of the water. A built and tall figure suddenly emerged from the water, wiping the beads of water from his face before diving down into the water again.

  The man was like a flying fish, paddling his powerful arms and swimming to the deep end of the pool.

  Nan Zhi saw that young woman was walking to the side of the pool. The woman’s back was facing Nan Zhi, so Nan Zhi could not see her expression.

  Nan Zhi raised her eyebrows in doubt. Who was this woman?

  She was able to come and go freely in the palace and order people around. She should have a high status!

  But it seemed improper to come to the swimming pool and watch the man swim in the morning.

  Didn’t she know the relationship between Mu Sihan and Shangguan Wan?

  A few minutes later, the man came out of the pool.

  His slender fingers picked up the towel on the deck chair and wrapped it around his waist. The figure exposed was wild and magnificent, on his well-defined face, his dark eyes were cold and he shook off the beads of water on his hair, a wild and cold air exuding from his body.

  “Brother-in-law.” The young woman ran forward, grabbing on to the man’s strong arm, looking at him with a bright smile on her beautiful face, her voice sweet and pleasant.

  Mu Sihan frowned, shaking off the woman’s hand ruthlessly and said with his face icy cold, “Why are you here? Didn’t Wan’er go back to the Shangguan house last night?”


  “Brother-in-law, I came today to tell you about my sister.” Shangguan Rui pouted her mouth and blinked charmingly at Mu Sihan.

  Mu Sihan ignored her and strode away.

  Shangguan Rui caught up with Mu Sihan, tears filling up her bright and round eyes. She continued to act coquettishly without feeling embarrassed. “Brother-in-law, you don’t want to know what happened to my sister?”


  Mu Sihan stopped, his cold eyes looking at Shangguan Rui. “What happened to Wan’er?”


  Shangguan looked around as if she was afraid she was overheard. She beckoned to Mu Sihan, pursing her lips slightly. “Brother-in-law, come closer. This kind of thing can’t be overheard by others.”


  Mu Sihan snorted. “If it’s a secret then you should keep your mouth shut.”


  Shangguan Rui looked at the man who was cold and cruel to her. She pouted her lips pitifully. “Okay, okay, I’ll tell you. Late last night, I heard my sister answering a call from a man. She asked the man not to pester her anymore or else she won’t let him off.

  “Brother-in-law, is my sister having a man behind your back? My sister has such a good husband like you and don’t know how to cherish……” Shangguan Rui looked at Mu Sihan’s strong arm, muscular and sexy chest, and she wanted to reach out and touch it.

  But before she could stretch out her hand, the man had already walked around her and left.

  Nan Zhi had already gone upstairs when the woman was holding Mu Sihan’s arm.

  Xiaojie had already washed his face, brushed his teeth and even changed into his school uniform himself.

  Nan Zhi led him downstairs.

  At the stairway, they met Mu Sihan, who was coming up the stairs.

  When she thought of how they almost spark off something and almost…… Her fair ears could not help but get a little hot.

  Feeling his dark eyes landed on her, she quickly said, “Breakfast is ready. I’ll take Xiaojie downstairs first.”


  Mu Sihan hummed in agreement and when he passed Nan Zhi, his large palm held her hand and his slightly hot fingers brushed across her palm.

  That young lady was standing under the stairs and looked at them.

  A chill ran up Nan Zhi’s back and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

  This man was too bold!

  But the woman downstairs did not seem to have seen anything. When she saw Nan Zhi coming down with Xiaojie, she hurried forward, looking at Nan Zhi with a dissatisfied expression. “Is a servant like you worthy of holding Xiaojie? Is my breakfast ready?”


  Perhaps she thought Nan Zhi was too eye-catching when she first saw her, Shangguan Rui was treating her as an eyesore.

  How could her sister let such a young and pretty servant into the palace? What if she seduced Brother-in-law? And this annoying little thing, everytime she came, he would put on an angelic expression, yet he wouldn’t let her hold his hand. Now he was letting a servant hold his hand?

  When Xiaojie heard Shangguan Rui’s words, he frowned. “You’re not the owner here, what right do you have to order my people around?”


  When Shangguan Rui saw Xiaojie defending the servant, she was shocked. “She’s yours?”


  “Yes, I have her back. Why should she listen to you and make breakfast for you? Who do you think you are?” Xiaojie held onto Nan Zhi’s slender fingers and looked up, smiling at her. “Pretty Zhizhi, ignore this bad auntie. She just wants to send a love letter to Daddy while Auntie Wan’er is away.”


  Shangguan Rui’s expression changed. “Xiaojie, don’t talk nonsense! Your daddy is my Brother-in-law.”


  Nan Zhi smiled slightly and looked at Shangguan Rui, her gaze calm and unmoving. “Miss Shangguan, if you only regard the Fourth Prince as your brother-in-law, then you would not deliberately act coquettishly in front of him. Ah, you even showed admiration when looking at his bare upper body.”


  Nan Zhi raised her phone. “Her Highness instructed me to take pictures of women who tried to seduce the Fourth Prince. What do you say, shall I send the pictures from this morning to her?”


  Shangguan Rui did not expect this servant to be so bold. Her expression changed. “You two…… Don’t slander me, I didn’t seduce Brother-in-law.” Shangguan grunted in anger and stormed off in a huff.

  Xiaojie stretched out his tender little hand and Nan Zhi high-fived him with a smile.

  “Pretty Zhizhi is so smart to drive away that bad auntie! I hate her the most!”
