Chapter 978: Is He Interested in You?
After Mu Sihan left Yukou Border, he was invited by M Country to attend the world’s economic summit. He planned to go fetch Nan Zhi and the twins personally after attending the summit.
Once he arrived at M Country, Mu Sihan met Helian Xiao at the summit, and she invited him to have a meal together.
Helian Xiao was now one of the most important investors of S Country. Besides, he was not only a businessman, he had a thousand relations with the M Country government and held onto the most lucrative weaponry deals in the world.
The Queen had been wanting to pull Helian Xiao to their side, but Helian Xiao had never showed his stance.
If it was possible, Mu Sihan naturally wanted Helian Xiao to stand on his side. However, it implicated Helian Zhu, and the Helian family wanted Mu Sihan and Helian Zhu to marry each other as well.
Although Helian Xiao was not Helian Zhu’s biological father, he was her biological uncle. He naturally wanted Helian Zhu to be happy as well.
Mu Sihan accepted Helian Xiao’s invitation.
After becoming the King, he had to make sure that every aspect of an issue was taken care of, and could not do whatever he wanted, as he had in the past.
That night, Mu Sihan met with Helian Xiao. Helian Xiao was still as handsome and mature as before, exuding a dignified and successful aura on him.
Neither of them brought their secretaries and assistants with them. As they ate, Helian Xiao somehow started to talk about Nan Zhi. “I went to the town once and met Miss Nan.”
At the thought of that time, he would remember his mind aching from his cold and pulling An Feng into his arms and kissing her. In all honesty, he had never felt awkward about anything before, but after that happened, he didn’t dare go to the town again.
Even at his age, women were a dime a dozen. However, when he kissed An Feng, it gave him a strange and familiar feeling. Although she was no longer a young girl, the kiss was still pretty good.
Hearing Helian Xiao’s words, Mu Sihan looked up at him, feeling a little confused when he realized that Helian Xiao had a small smile on his handsome face.
Why did he think that Helian Xiao’s smile was a little of a man meeting a woman that he liked?
What was he talking about earlier? That he went to the town and met Nan Zhi?
Why was he saying all of this? Did he fall for Nan Zhi?
Mu Sihan’s hand on the knife and fork tightened slightly as he spoke aloofly, “You should try her cooking skills, it’s really good.”
Helian Xiao nodded, his gentle smile widening. “It’s as good as the Palace’s cooks. She’s an intelligent and capable young woman.”
Although she was the mother of three children, if no one said anything, no one could tell that she had had any children. After all, her face and figure was about the same as a woman in her early twenties.
Mu Sihan looked down and took a sip of red wine. A glint of coldness flashed in his cold eyes.
Ultimately, he had matured and didn’t question Helian Xiao immediately. Once they were done eating, Mu Sihan returned to the hotel they were resting at.
He took out his suit and loosened his tie before undoing the top three buttons on his shirt.
He took his black personal phone, walking to the window before he sent a video call request to Nan Zhi.
The call rang for a long while but no one picked up.
Mu Sihan didn’t call her again.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he was out, he wore a dark green bathrobe, exposing his well-built and firm chest, his long legs slender as he stood in front of the window with a dark expression, staring at the busy city in front of him.
Under the light, his well-defined face appeared even more handsome.
A few minutes later, his phone rang.
Mu Sihan took his phone, answering the video call when he saw that it was sent by Nan Zhi.
Once the video call went through, Nan Zhi’s pretty face appeared on the screen. She was smiling brightly. “Business was really good today and I was too busy to look at my phone. You called me?”
She knew that he would come and fetch her in two days. In order to not close her restaurant, she had been looking for someone to run the private kitchen recently. Besides, she also planned to make it a chain business and widen her business.
Mu Sihan pursed his lips tightly and didn’t speak.
It was only then that Nan Zhi noticed that his expression wasn’t really good. Her smile went away, as she asked softly, “What’s wrong? Did something upset you? Something about the business?”
He still didn’t speak.
Nan Zhi furrowed her exquisite eyebrows. “Or is it a private matter? Did Helian Zhu confess to you again?”
Mu Sihan’s eyes darkened slightly. “Why didn’t you tell me that Helian Xiao went to your place?”
Eh? Nan Zhi didn’t expect for him to mention this.
“It was when we returned from H City, Feng Yao’s plane had some difficulties and we happened to meet Mr Helian. It was on the way for him, so he gave us a lift.” Nan Zhi stared at the man with confusion. “Are you unhappy because of this?”
“Did he fall for you?”
Hearing Mu Sihan’s words, Nan Zhi froze for a few seconds, before she glared at him. “You’re thinking too much! Mr Helian is old enough to be my father. How on earth did you connect him to me?”
“There are so many young girls that like him, some are even younger than you.”
Sweat appeared on Nan Zhi’s face.
“When I had dinner with him tonight, he mentioned you and from his expression, he looked like he was slightly interested in you.”
Nan Zhi shivered, her goosebumps appearing from Mu Sihan’s words.
She thought that Mr Helian wasn’t that perverted!
“You must be wrong. After Mr Helian saw Yuyu, he knew about our relationship, so why would he be interested in me still?”
Mu Sihan hummed coldly. “It’s best if he’s not.”
“You jealous thing, why are you jealous of everything?” Nan Zhi felt that it was a little funny, her expression softening a little. “Don’t worry, no one can take me away from you. I only have you in my heart.”
The more she interacted with him, the more she thought he was like a child in private, needing her to sweet talk and humor him occasionally.
…
After the second day of the summit, Mu Sihan got a call from Helian Xiao. He got Mu Sihan to go to his suite after returning to the hotel, that he had a contract to pass to him.
Mu Sihan followed the request and arrived at Helian Xiao’s suite. He lifted his well-defined finger and rung the doorbell.
When Helian Xiao called Mu Sihan, Helian Zhu was beside him. After listening to the conversation, when Helian Xiao wasn’t paying attention, she took his phone and sent a message to Mu Sihan and changed the room number secretly.
When the doorbell rang, Helian Zhu was dolling herself up in her room, pursing her lips at the mirror. After seeing that her makeup was fine, she walked to the door and opened it.
“Sihan.” Helian Zhu stared at the man, a smile appearing on her lips.
Mu Sihan glanced at Helian Zhu, his expression unreadable. His eyes were as dark as well, and no one could read what he was thinking. “Your father told me to come and take the contract for the cooperation on renewable energy.”
Helian Zhu acted like she didn’t notice his cold attitude as she turned to her side and said with a smile, “Daddy told me to pass the contract to you. Come in, I’ll get it for you.”
Mu Sihan furrowed his eyebrow silently, before he walked in.
