Chapter 120: Intentions

Seeing Nan Zhi staring at him, Mu Sihan lazily curled the right corner of his mouth. His pitch-black eyes were exceptionally narrow and long, with long eyelashes slightly lowered, exuding an indescribable sexiness and charm.

The private room was decorated in shades of pink, with dreamlike, crystal-like lighting that made everything around them feel surreal. As a result, when Nan Zhi met Mu Sihan’s ink-deep gaze, her heart began to race for no apparent reason.

It must be her imagination; otherwise, how could she find this hot-tempered man so handsome and charming, almost god-like, at this very moment?

As expected, his first words shattered the beautiful illusion: "What are you looking at? In love with me?"

Nan Zhi scoffed inwardly, withdrew her gaze, and ignored him.

Mu Sihan clapped his hands. Immediately, a line of uniformed servers entered, pushing carts of exquisite food, while the lights on the stage dimmed.

Mu Sihan cleared his throat and said to Nan Zhi and Xiao Kai, "You two, stop standing there. Sit down."

After Nan Zhi and Xiao Kai took their seats, soft music began to play in the room.

Nan Zhi blinked, looked toward the stage with confusion, and whispered to Xiao Kai, "Is someone going to perform?"

Xiao Kai nodded excitedly. "Beautiful Zhi, didn't you want to see Stephen's musical? I just mentioned it to Cool Uncle, and he found a way to bring Stephen's team over from Broadway just for your performance tonight!"

Nan Zhi’s eyes widened in sudden shock and disbelief.

Stephen’s musicals were notoriously hard to get tickets for on Broadway. When she was abroad, she had only mentioned it to Xiao Kai once in passing. She never expected Xiao Kai to remember, let alone that Mu Sihan would actually bring Stephen’s team here.

...

At the lobby of the Royal Court Hotel.

Nan Yao looked at the manager who was attending to them in disbelief. "The Grand Suite No. 1 that we booked a month ago was snatched by someone else tonight?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

The hotel’s top-tier suites were reserved only for VIPs and required booking a month in advance. How could it be taken by someone else at the last minute? Who had that kind of influence?

"Manager, we booked it first. You can't just give it away to someone else. If word of this gets out, it will ruin your hotel's reputation."

The manager apologized repeatedly. "I am sorry, Miss Nan, but the guests are friends of our Boss, and we must follow the Boss's orders. Although Grand Suite No. 1 is unavailable, I have prepared Grand Suite No. 2 for you, and I will offer you a five percent discount for this evening."

Nan Yao had left work early to come here, and her parents, relatives, Fu Shaoxiu, and her colleagues and friends would all be arriving soon. Although she was unwilling to lose the suite, she had no other choice but to settle for it.

...

Not long after Nan Yao entered the suite, Nan Weiye, Ding Shuman, Fu Shaoxiu, other relatives, and colleagues arrived one after another.

Seeing that it wasn't the Grand Suite No. 1, Nan Weiye pulled Nan Yao aside and asked, "What is going on?"

"Dad, Grand Suite No. 1 was snatched by someone else at the last minute."

Nan Weiye frowned. Given his current status in Ning City, who would dare to steal a suite he had booked?

"Dad, the manager said it was a friend of the Royal Court's boss."

Nan Weiye scoffed with dissatisfaction. "Does being a friend mean they don't have to follow the rules of 'first come, first served'?"

Knowing Nan Weiye’s pride, Nan Yao quickly gave him a way out. "Dad, that person probably didn't know the suite was reserved by you. With your current status, who in Ning City wouldn't respectfully address you as President Nan?"

Nan Weiye’s expression softened slightly. He nodded. "Forget it. It's your mother’s birthday today, and I don't want to make a scene. After the banquet, I will go and meet this person."

At that moment, several exclamations rang out from the doorway of the suite. "Oh my god, it’s actually Stephen! President Nan, you are too amazing! You actually managed to invite Stephen to perform for Madam Nan’s birthday!"
