Chapter 236: Finding answers (3)

After talking some more with Tao Yang, Nana then played a lot with the children. She also gave a fun cooking class and taught them simple recipes which the children enjoyed a lot.

Tired, she finally sat in the car as she headed back to Liu villa.

As the scenery was passing by, Nana recalled the last night with Jinhai. She raised her hand and touched the side of her neck, where she saw the kiss mark today morning. She had hidden it with concealer. Otherwise, if the maid had seen the mark, she would have believed that they slept together…which was true.

Nana closed her eyes, and his words resounded in her ears.

“Nana…are you hiding something from me?” Jinhai asked as he buried his face in her neck.

‘Yes’ was just at the tip of her tongue, but she couldn’t utter it. 

“No.”

“Then why did you lie to me?”

“I-it’s just as you said. I thought you wouldn’t trust me.”

He tightened his hug. “I’m sorry. If you think that I don’t trust you, then maybe I lacked somewhere that made you feel insecure.”

She widened her eyes. She did not think that he would blame himself even though she was clearly at fault.

Jinhai raised his head and cupped her face. “If you are ever feeling uncertain, then please share it with me. Jianyu was your ex-fiance, but I know that he was your good friend too. I won’t misunderstand if you meet him.”

Nana faintly smiled and nodded.

Jinhai gently caressed her cheek with his thumb. He lifted her chin and slowly leaned in.

Nana’s heart was racing as he was closing in the distance. She tightly shut her eyes. She wanted to move away, but she felt like an invisible force was not allowing her to do that.

Jinhai tilted his head and pressed his lips on hers. His kiss was slow and tender like a warm breeze gently blowing on a seashore.

They kept kissing, not knowing how long time ticked by. It felt so long for Nana since he touched her like this, and so she couldn’t resist the temptation. She couldn’t push him away.

He tugged her dress, and it fell. She felt chilly when she suddenly got naked. Her face burned red and hot as Jinhai’s sight went down, taking in every inch of her.

As he stepped forward towards her, Nana nervously took a step back until she collided with the bed and softly collapsed on it. Jinhai rested his knee on it and towered on top of her, slowly pushing her backward with his body.

Starting from her eyes, lips to her chest and thighs, he kissed her everywhere. He sucked on her breasts, making her silently gasp. She bit her lips hard and clutched the bedsheet in her fist, forcing herself not to make a sound. After what seemed like forever, he positioned his length at her entrance and slowly entered her.

Nana shut her eyes, feeling the pleasure of their bodies connecting and rubbing against each other. Unconsciously, she hung her arms around his neck as Jinhai deepened his thrusts inside her. They kissed again, over and over, both of them lost in the passion. They finally climaxed together as he gave a last hard thrust, spilling his liquid inside her.

He pulled out and laid in her embrace. They dozed off, and a few hours later, Nana’s eyelids fluttered. She raised her head and saw Jinhai as he was sleeping peacefully, hugging her.

She quietly got up, lifting only her upper body, went closer to his ear, and whispered, “I’m sorry, but I have no choice.”

A tear fell on his cheek, and she got flustered. She quickly, but gently wiped it off so that he wouldn’t wake up. She saw that he was still breathing evenly, in a deep sleep. She felt relieved and went back to sleep.

Nana got up early the next morning before Jinhai could wake up and went out to avoid him. She saw him ignoring her at the breakfast table and knew that he was upset.

The car came to a stop, and Driver Mu said, “Lady Liu. We have returned.”

His voice brought Nana back out of her daze. “Huh?” She looked at her left to see Liu villa. “Oh. Thank you, Driver Mu.”

She was about to step out, but then said, “Driver Mu, can you please not tell anyone about my visit to the orphanage today?”

He paused for a moment and then nodded. “Rest assured, Lady Liu. I won’t tell anyone.”

Nana smiled. “Thank you.”

“Please don’t embarrass me, Lady Liu. You are the mistress, and you don’t need to thank me. Serving our master and mistress is our job.”

Nana shook her head. “You are not just servants to me. I treat you as my family just as I treat my staff at Natsukashi and not only me, and the others do too. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Jinhai, and Jing, everyone.”

Driver Mu thanked his stars for getting to work with the Liu family. He was also happy that Lady Liu wasn’t arrogant and rude like other rich heiresses.

A day passed by with nothing much happening. Nana purposely didn’t visit the hospital as she didn’t want to make anybody suspicious of not being in Natsukashi for two days back to back.

So, the day after that, she worked for a few hours in Natsukashi before heading out to the hospital.

And now today was also the time for Huo Corps competition to begin officially. All the participants gathered in the main lodge area. Some were present with their agent and some with their boss, quietly discussing their plans once again.

Yao Luli was standing at a side with the boss of Design Premier, Gong Hong.

He said, “Are you ready for this competition, Yao Luli? We have to win for interior design bid at any cost.”

She bobbed her head up and down. “Yes, boss. I’m ready.”

Gong Hong gritted his teeth. “We lost the Chen Corps deal because of Serena. She snatched it away from us, and we had to suffer such a huge loss not only in profit but also in reputation. To redeem ourselves, we must win this investment!”

Yao Luli shyly and sneakily rubbed her chest against him and said, “Don’t worry, boss. This deal is ours.”

Gong Hong gulped and licked his lips as he felt her breasts. He really wanted to take her then and there.

She sneered. “And Serena is not here anymore. She is jobless now. She has no face left to participate in such a prestigious competition.”

Just then, from the corner of her eye, she saw a familiar figure entering the lodge. She widened her eyes as she didn’t expect Serena to come here.

“Boss…Look over there. She is Serena!”

“What!?” Gong Hong raised his head and was shocked. She was indeed Serena.

“What is she doing here!?” He angrily whispered. He tried hard not to flip out and shout.

Yao Luli was puzzled at first, but then she remembered something. She sneered. “Don’t worry, boss. I know why she came here.”

“Really?”

“En. Let’s go and meet her.”

Nana stepped in the hospital that Tao Yang talked about, which was an hour away from the orphanage. Just like he said, the hospital was a medium-sized building with only three floors, but it was clean and well-maintained.

She walked to the reception and saw a nurse talking on the phone.

“Yes, doctor. I will send the patient file.”

The nurse saw Nana and asked, “Yes, Miss. How can I help you?”

Nana said, “Um, I want to ask if there are any of your staff members who can tell something that happened twenty-two years back? Is there any doctor or nurse still working here?”

The nurse furrowed her brows. “What is your inquiry?”

“I don’t know about my birth parents, and I got to know a few days back that I may have been born in this hospital. So, I have come here to know more about it.”

The nurse took pity on her. Growing up without the love of parents is a harsh thing to bear for any child. She thought for a while and said, “There is one nurse. We call her Nurse Kim. She has been working here since the beginning. Maybe she can help you.”

Nana was delighted. There was a very slim chance that somebody may still be working after twenty-two years, but thankfully there was one person.

“Is she here today? Can I meet her now?”

The nurse nodded. “Please wait for ten minutes. She is busy making rounds with the doctor. It is about to finish.”

“No problem. I will wait.”

Fifteen minutes later, Nana saw a woman came into the reception area. She looked in her early fifties. The nurse said something to her and pointed towards Nana.

The woman walked and stood in front of her. She smiled and politely said, “Hello, I’m Nurse Kim. Nurse Qi said that you want to talk to me?”
