Chapter 234: Finding answers (1)

Nana was stunned. She didn’t understand what Jinhai wanted to do. But she could very well tell that he was angry.
Nana tightly held the hem of her dress. “I’m tired.”
Jinhai tilted his head. “Let me ask you once more. Why couldn’t you make it?” He lifted a lock of her hair and pushed it at the back of her ear.
Nana avoided his penetrating gaze.
“I said that I forgot. Why are you-“
Jinhai pulled her hand and wrapped his hand around her waist. She gasped as she saw a dangerous storm brewing in his eyes. His gaze was dark and terrifying. He pinched her jaw and forced her to raise her head and look at him. He dipped his head and captured her lips in a frenzied kiss.
Nana widened her eyes.
He locked her in his embrace and tightly mended his lips on hers. As he covered every inch of her lips, he stuck out his tongue and pried her mouth open, sliding it inside and skillfully wrapping hers against his. Their breaths mixed along with their saliva.
He exerted so much force in that kiss that Nana thought he wanted to suck the soul out of her. His kiss was filled with urgency, anger, and punishment. He harshly bit her lips as if he wanted to force her to tell the truth. She softly whimpered in his mouth.
Jinhai didn’t give her any time to resist as he pulled down her zipper, revealing her naked backside. His hands held her waist, and she jolted with the sensation of his cold fingertips, touching her skin.
His lips were busy melding with hers as he made his way up, caressing her back and tugged the hook of her bra. With sheer force, he simply broke it.
Nana was pushing him away but to no avail. He finally pulled out of her mouth and started making his way down to her neck, nibbling all the way. With his other hand, he squeezed her right breast, making her gasp and shudder.
“Let me go, please…” Her voice was quivering as she spoke.
This was the first time she saw Jinhai this different. She knew that he would be angry and hurt, but she didn’t think that he would force himself on her.
“Please…” Tears formed in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks. Jinhai froze when he sensed her slightly trembling in his arms. He slightly pushed her away and saw the hickeys he left behind on her pale skin, and her dress was disheveled that exposed her half-naked.
Jinhai gritted his teeth. He shut his eyes and took deep breaths to calm down. He had completely lost his mind.
This time he gently rested his forehead in the nape of her neck and softly asked, “Why did you lie to me?”
It was barely audible, but Nana heard it crystal clear. She felt the pain in his voice and wished to hug him tightly.
“Did you think that I won’t believe in you?”
She said nothing.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I didn’t want to do this. Sorry, I flipped out.”
She bit her lips hard to stop herself from making a sound.
“I felt insecure not because you met Jianyu, but because you lied to me about it. Did you think that my trust in you is so weak that it would shatter just because you met your ex-fiance?”
“Nana…are you hiding something from me?”
—
The maid, Qian Mei, was listening in to their conversation when she suddenly jolted in shock. At first, she was elated to know that Jinhai was angry at Nana. She believed that the plan was a success.
“I cannot believe that the first young master didn’t fell for our plan. How can he trust Nana when he saw her lying to him twice!”
She gnashed her teeth in hatred. Seeing his wife with her ex-fiance and then lying about it should have caused him to lose trust in her and misunderstand her.
But nothing like that happened! He should have hated her by now!
“And now he has even asked if anything’s wrong! What if she babbles out everything?”
“No, I cannot sit here and let that happen.”
Jinhai and Nana’s room was just two rooms away when she heard someone call her name.
“Qian Mei.”
She froze in her steps and turned. It was Head Butler Wang. He looked at her sternly and asked, “Why are you roaming around so late at night? Your work is done for the day.” He narrowed his eyes at her.
Qian Mei panicked internally.
Damn it, why did he have to come here?
“I-I just came out to drink water.”
“Didn’t you fill up your jar?”
“I finished it. It’s really hot today.” She nervously smiled.
He stayed silent and then said expressionlessly, “The kitchen is over at the other side if you haven’t forgotten. This is the way to first young master’s room.”
She widened her eyes. “T-That is right. How did I forget? I was in a daze so…Thank you, Butler Wang.”
“Get going now. And don’t wander around again.”
She bowed. “Yes, Butler Wang.”
He didn’t leave, so she had no choice but to go away.
‘I cannot leave anymore! What if I am caught again? Butler Wang will become suspicious of me.’
She cursed her luck and went back to her room. She put the earphones in but couldn’t hear anything. Nobody was talking anymore.
She checked if the device was working, and it was. But it was quiet.
“What happened?”
—
The next morning, at the breakfast table, Qian Mei observed the two of them but didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. She could see that Nana was still subtly avoiding Jinhai.
Nana quickly headed out. Today, she was going to visit her orphanage. The car stopped in front of a big gate, and above was a huge signboard, ‘Sunshine Orphanage.’
She felt nostalgic coming back here. She recalled some faint memories she had, playing in the mud and playing silly pranks with the caretaker.
The caretaker, Tao Yang, must now be in his early seventies. She still remembered the middle-aged man having white locks of hair at either side of his head. He always had a very gentle smile on his face as warm as the morning sun. Even his name Yang meant light or sun. And such an apt name he gave to the orphanage, the same meaning as his name.
The orphanage was a ray of light for those hundreds of lives of children who had no family. But this place gave them more than just shelter. Tao Yang and all the employees working here were kind-hearted and loved all the children like their own.
They also provided the fees for the education of every child until they turned eighteen. They helped in admitting the children into the best universities as possible so that they can lead a normal and healthy dorm life even when they would leave this orphanage.
Nana smiled and entered. And immediately, many cute buns ran and surrounded her. She was completely trapped in between these warm bundles of joy.
“Ah, haha, haha! Stop tickling. Haha, ha…”
One four-year-old boy hugged her leg and refused to let go.
“Sister Nana, you are back!”
Her eyes softened. “En. You are not troubling teacher Tao, right?”
They quietened.
She sighed.
A three-year-old girl wearing pigtails pouted and said cutely, “Sister Nana, Feng always plays pranks and bully teacher Tao.”
Feng felt embarrassed. He had a cute crush on Nana, so he frantically defended himself. “I did not! I listen to teacher Tao and never trouble him! I’m a good boy.”
She ruffled his hair. “En.”
He blushed furiously.
Another boy who was seven years old asked, “Sister Nana, what will we do today? Will you play with us? Will you teach us your delicious cooking?” His eyes sparkled in delight.
She chuckled. “Sure. Whatever my sweet buns say.”
The children already started to dance around in excitement.
“Ho…Look who has come to meet this old man.”
She heard an elderly voice and raised her head. Her eyes brightened as she saw the man coming towards her.
“Teacher Tao!”
She jumped into his embrace like a little child. Tao Yang laughed and said, “You always make me remember of the three-year-old Nana who would always hop in my embrace with a big and bright smile on her face. Now, you are twenty-two, but some things don’t change.”
Nana pouted. “Even if I get old and grizzly, I would still be your little Nana for you. I would never grow up!”
He chuckled.
“How are you, Teacher Tao?”
“Well, life with these snobby brats is always fun. They don’t let me take a moment of rest.” He sighed. “I’m already seventy three, but these brats make run after them as if I’m still so young.”
“Well, you are always young and handsome for me.”
“Where did you learn to talk with such a sweet mouth?”
They laughed and reminisced the old times. Nana then turned serious and asked, “Teacher, I have come here for another important work.”
“What?”
“Do you know who the person was that left me at your orphanage?”
