Chapter 127: Bridal Carry

Nan Zhi touched her neck. Perhaps the fact that he hadn’t strangled her to death that time was an act of mercy. He was absolutely a monster! With skills like his, how many people in the world could possibly defeat him? In a boxing ring, he would undoubtedly be a champion. Nan Zhi swallowed hard, her gaze toward Mu Sihan tinged with growing fear.

Fu Shaoxiu had been beaten unconscious. Mu Sihan kicked him twice before stopping, sneering coldly, “Good-for-nothing, fainted after just a few hits.” Nan Zhi twitched at the corner of her mouth. Lord Mu, though you only threw a few punches, each one landed like an iron fist. Mu Sihan clapped his hands and turned toward Nan Zhi. Seeing her dazed and stunned, he asked coldly, “Feeling sorry for him?”

Nan Zhi looked at Fu Shaoxiu lying on the ground with a swollen face, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth—a pitiful sight that made her lips tremble in fright. If this violent man lost his temper, one punch could probably knock her out. Today she realized that his strength was truly beyond ordinary.

“Are you feeling sorry for him? You ran out to have an affair with him, didn’t you?” His jaw tightened, and his dark eyes burned with a crimson fire that seemed capable of incinerating everything. Nan Zhi suspected that if she dared to say yes, he would kick her flying.

She opened her mouth to explain, but suddenly a fist swung toward her. Terrified, she closed her eyes and trembled. Just as she expected pain, his clenched fist relaxed and gently landed on the back of her head. Noticing the crimson staining his fingertips, his eyes bloodshot, he growled angrily, “What happened? Are you hurt? Did he do this?”

Seeing him ready to turn and kick Fu Shaoxiu again, Nan Zhi quickly grasped his arm. It wasn’t that she felt sorry for Fu Shaoxiu; rather, if the beating continued, he would be killed.

“If you keep hitting him, he’ll be in the hospital for at least two weeks. That’s enough.” Mu Sihan’s dark eyes swept over her, heavy with suspicion. “You feel sorry for him?”

Nan Zhi hastily shook her head. “I’m just afraid that if you kill him, you’ll face criminal charges.” Mu Sihan’s anger and hostility gradually subsided. He lifted her chin and kissed her lips once. “Caring about me?”

Nan Zhi rolled her eyes. At a time like this, he was still taking advantage of her. Not wanting to answer, she clenched her teeth, wearing a pained expression. “My head hurts… I’m going back to the private room first.”

She turned and took two steps forward when suddenly her body was lifted into the air. The man’s strong, muscular arms cradled her horizontally. Among women, she wasn’t short, and though slender, she certainly wasn’t light enough to be held like a child. Yet he carried her effortlessly. Not only was his combat power extraordinary, but his strength was like that of an ox! This served as a clear reminder that unless this man willingly set her free, she was no match for him.

...

Nan Yao noticed that Fu Shaoxiu had gone out to take a call and hadn’t returned to the private room. After informing her parents, she went out to look for him. As she opened the door, she saw a man even taller and more imposing than Fu Shaoxiu carrying a woman in his arms. The woman’s face was hidden beneath long hair, so Nan Yao couldn’t see her clearly. But the man’s face...

At the instant Nan Yao saw his features, her heart was struck violently. She had thought Fu Shaoxiu was handsome, but this man was even more strikingly handsome and distinguished!
