The box contained a doll that looked like a bride with a veil and hair down.
The bride’s eyes were gone and there were two streaks of blood on her face. There was a creepy cold smile on her face and a bloody knife was stuck in her chest. It looked extremely scary.
Nan Zhi swung the box away from her.
The man who had his face buried in Nan Zhi’s neck, raised his head, and seeing her pale face, he asked, “What’s wrong?”
Nan Zhi pointed with a trembling finger at the gift box she had thrown to the ground.
Mu Sihan released Nan Zhi, and stood up from the leather chair. Bending down, he saw that horrible doll bride inside the box.
He immediately furrowed her eyebrows tightly. He took out the doll and Nan Zhi turned away, not daring to look.
Mu Sihan glanced at the box and saw that there was no name on it.
“Zhizhi, it’s fake.”
Nan Zhi nodded. “I know it’s fake, but it’s so scary that it looked so real.” Who hated her so much to send this unlucky thing after they had received their marriage certificate!
The bride had blood coming out of her eyes, nose, mouth, ears and even had a knife in her chest. Did they want her to be like that at the wedding?
Nan Zhi clenched her hands into fists and she turned to look at Mu Sihan. “Sihan, you must find out who sent this. I’m afraid someone will try to ruin our wedding.”
Although they had registered for their marriage, they had not held their wedding yet. In the hearts of the people of S Country, she would officially be married into the Royal family only when they had registered for their marriage and held a wedding.
They had gone through so much already, she did not want any problems at the wedding.
Mu Sihan held Nan Zhi in his arms and patted her slender back. “I’ll check on it now. If you’re scared, you can go out first?”
Nan Zhi nodded. “Okay.”
Nan Zhi came out of the study with her temples throbbing.
She went to take a look in the children’s room. Yuyu and Tiantian were still sleeping and Xiaojie had already returned to the training camp last night.
Nan Zhi went downstairs to drink a cup of hot water and sat on the sofa, her eyebrows furrowed in thought.
“Zhizhi, why are you up so early?”
Hearing Xia Yanran’s voice, Nan Zhi looked up.
Xia Yanran had drank too much last night and had a little headache. She walked over to Nan Zhi while rubbing her temples.
Nan Zhi stood up and poured a cup of warm water for Xia Yanran. “Are you all right?”
“It’s been a while since I last drank so much.” Xia Yanran took the cup, drank two mouthfuls and sat beside Nan Zhi. Seeing that Nan Zhi did not look so good, Xia Yanran frowned. “Why do you look so troubled early in the morning?”
Nan Zhi did not want to worry Xia Yanran and she shook her head, smiling. “It’s nothing, don’t worry.” Then, seeming to have thought of something, she asked softly, “You, on the other hand, don’t look like you’re in a good mood coming here this time. Is it work or relationship problems?”
Xia Yanran held the cup with both hands. She lowered her eyelashes and sighed before saying, “Both I guess. A year ago my brother injured his hand and can’t hold the scalpel anymore. I sold part of my shares at the newspaper company to treat him. Although I’m still a small boss of the company, the big boss’s inaction led to the company facing bankruptcy. If you didn’t help me this time, we might have to close the company down.”
Nan Zhi was shocked. She grabbed Xia Yanran’s arm. “Why didn’t you tell me you were in trouble?”
“Your life wasn’t easy when you were still in the town.” A smile appeared on Xia Yanran’s beautiful face. “It’s all over anyway. I’m still fine now.”
Nan Zhi looked at Xia Yanran, a pained look in her eyes. “Then what about you and Xiao Yi?”
Hearing his name, Xia Yanran’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. There was no expression on her face, as if this person had nothing to do with her and did not matter to her.
Two years ago, Xiao Yi, who had gained the trust of Second Master Qin, then worked together with another of Second Master Qin’s confidant to kill him when Second Master Qin brought him along for a drug deal.
At that time, Xia Yanran naively thought that without Second Master Qin, he could turn a new leaf and become a proper businessman.
He came to see her and told her that Second Master Qin was dead. She was full of joy and went to Hong Kong with him.
They started a sweet life of cohabitation.
It was really happy and sweet at that time. She felt that there were sweet bubbles in the air when she was with him every day.
He told her that the gang was still in chaos after Second Master Qin’s death, and he needed to keep the boss’s seat safe so he could not leave Hong Kong and return to Ning City with her.
She believed in him.
He really treated her well during that period of time. He would come home on time, eat with her and watch movies with her. They would be intimate in bed during the weekends, and do it from the bed to the living room and then the balcony.
A year passed like that and she thought that he had handover his work, but he got busier.
Gradually, she found that during the year they had been together, he had not taken her to any public events, and when there were any gatherings in the gang, he did not bring her along like he did when they were in Ning City.
No one knew she was his woman. Later, she saw a news report that he had a lover outside besides her. Whenever he went out to attend an important event, it was that woman he would bring with him.
Xia Yanran was not dumb, she understood that he did not betray their relationship, but was protecting her. He was the boss so he naturally could not have any weakness. He did not want others to find that the person he loved was her.
But after the initial sweetness and passion faded, Xia Yanran was like most girls. She wanted a stable family and someone to rely on without feeling fear.
On her birthday, Junyuan came from Ning City. Although Junyuan did not like Xiao Yi, he still celebrated her birthday with Xiao Yi for her sake.
They came out of the restaurant and Xiao Yi went to get the car while Junyuan and her waited by the restaurant entrance. Shortly after Xiao Yi left, more than a dozen gangsters suddenly rushed towards them with sticks and long knives.
To protect her, Junyuan was stabbed twice. One at the abdomen and the other at his right wrist.
Xiao Yi rushed over and saved them.
Although Junyuan was pulled back from hell’s gates, the muscle of his right hand was injured and he could no longer hold the scalpel.
That night, she went back with Xiao Yi and had a big fight with him.
She asked Xiao Yi if he could leave the gang and be an ordinary person. He told her that his hands were stained with blood and he could never turn over a new leaf. He was now the boss and could not leave his men alone. The few years he was in Hong Kong with Second Master Qin, he had offended many people. If he had nothing, he might be dead on the street the next day. He was already bogged down by the swamp. He could not get away from this in this life!
When Xia Yanran heard his words, she was angry and hateful, but was also extremely helpless.
That night, she cried all night.
But what could tears do?
Later, when Junyuan was discharged from the hospital, she broke up with Xiao Yi.
Perhaps, no matter how in love they were, those who were not suitable for each other would only end up splitting up.
