Ni Sitian was awakened by a knock on the door.
She opened her eyes and saw that Xu Tingchuan had also woken up at the same time.
"I'll go check." Xu Tingchuan got up; he already guessed who was knocking on the door.
Ni Sitian was equally aware of this. She changed her clothes and went outside, only to see Shen Muzhi and Xu Tingchuan standing facing each other in the entryway.
The atmosphere was tense, ready to erupt at any moment.
Ni Sitian knew she was the one who caused the trouble, so she took a deep breath and went to face the situation.
"Let him in." She gently patted Xu Tingchuan's arm.
Xu Tingchuan took a step back, and Ni Sitian saw that Shen Muzhi looked very dejected. His clothes were still from yesterday and were a little wrinkled, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Shen Muzhi walked in, his eyes fixed on Ni Sitian's face. His voice was not as gloomy as yesterday, but terribly hoarse, as if it had been rubbed by rough sandpaper: "Where did she go?"
After venting her anger yesterday, Ni Sitian has calmed down a lot now. She said to Shen Muzhi calmly, "She really didn't tell me. She said she knew that if she ran away, you would definitely blame me and try to find out her whereabouts from me, so she thought it would be better not to tell me."
Shen Muzhi clenched his fist. Xu Tingchuan stood guard in front of Ni Sitian and warned, "You can't blame Sitian for this. Xiang Zhilan wanted to run away before Sitian regained her memory. If you act like you did yesterday, don't blame me for being rude to you."
"She planned this for half a month?" Shen Muzhi's face drained of color. He had been sharing a bed with her, yet he had no idea that she had planned to run away all along. All that gentleness and obedience was just an act to deceive him. Well done, truly well done!
"It was the day she fell and went to the hospital that she learned about her background, the day she learned that Su Yan was still alive, and the day she overheard you asking the doctor about the C-section in July. Do you know how sad and angry she was that day?" Ni Sitian sniffed. This time, she didn't want to accuse Shen Muzhi. She wanted to say, "Forget it. You two weren't meant to be. Her leaving is the best solution for all three of you."
"Why didn't she ask me? What gave her the right to decide that this was the best way?" Shen Muzhi asked through gritted teeth, veins bulging on the back of his hand.
"What do you mean?" Ni Sitian's face turned cold, and she bit her lip. "Shen Muzhi, you still don't understand why she left. Your slightest hesitation is hurting her and the child. Think about what I'm saying."
“But what can I do! I no longer have that thought, I’ve made up my mind, I just want to see Su Yan off on her final journey, why won’t she even give me a chance to explain?” Shen Muzhi said hoarsely.
When Ni Sitian heard him say that he was seeing Su Yan off on her final journey, she was stunned. Had he spent all these days with Su Yan just for this final journey?
“From your perspective, this is indeed a dilemma for you, but you have no right to demand that Zhi Lan also stand on your side. What kind of entanglement you have with Su Yan, and what you plan to do, is none of her business. This is a matter for you to sort out.” Ni Sitian readjusted her thinking and said, “Don’t go looking for Zhi Lan. Think clearly about your own feelings first.”
Shen Muzhi gave a bitter smile. Ultimately, she simply didn't like him that much, leaving him no room to sort out his feelings. She left so gracefully only because he was dispensable to her.
